Note:
If you are checking tire pressure
when the tire is hot, (for example, driven
more than 1 mile [1.6 kilometers]), never
bleed or reduce air pressure. The tires
are hot from driving and it is normal for
pressures to increase above
recommended cold pressures. A hot tire
at or below recommended cold inflation
pressure could be significantly
under-inflated.
Note: If you have to drive a distance to
get air for your tire(s), check and record
the tire pressure first and add the
appropriate air pressure when you get
to the pump. It is normal for tires to heat
up and the air pressure inside to go up
as you drive.
2. Remove the cap from the valve on
one tire, then firmly press the tire gauge
onto the valve and measure the
pressure.
3. Add enough air to reach the
recommended air pressure. Note:
If you overfill the tire, release air
by pressing on the metal stem in the
center of the valve. Then recheck the
pressure with your tire gauge.
4. Replace the valve cap.
5. Repeat this procedure for each tire,
including the spare.
Note: Some spare tires operate at a
higher inflation pressure than the other
tires. For T type mini-spare tires, see the
Dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly information for a description.
Store and maintain at 60 psi (4.15 bar).
For full-size and dissimilar spare tires,
see the Dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly information for a description.
Store and maintain at the higher of the
front and rear inflation pressure as
shown on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label or Tire Label.
6. Visually inspect the tires to make sure
there are no nails or other objects
embedded that could poke a hole in the
tire and cause an air leak. 7. Check the sidewalls to make sure
there are no gouges, cuts or bulges.
Inspecting Your Tires and Wheel Valve
Stems
Periodically inspect the tire treads for
uneven or excessive wear and remove
objects such as stones, nails or glass
that may be wedged in the tread
grooves. Check the tire and valve stems
for holes, cracks, or cuts that may permit
air leakage and repair or replace the tire
and replace the valve stem. Inspect the
tire sidewalls for cracking, cuts, bruises
and other signs of damage or excessive
wear. If internal damage to the tire is
suspected, have the tire demounted and
inspected in case it needs to be repaired
or replaced. For your safety, tires that
are damaged or show signs of excessive
wear should not be used because they
are more likely to blow out or fail.

If you feel a sudden vibration or ride
disturbance while driving, or you suspect
your tire or vehicle has been damaged,
immediately reduce your speed. Drive
with caution until you can safely pull off
the road. Stop and inspect the tires for
damage. If a tire is under-inflated or
damaged, deflate it, remove wheel and
replace it with your spare tire and wheel.
If you cannot detect a cause, have the
vehicle towed to the nearest repair
facility or tire dealer to have the vehicle
inspected.
Tire and Wheel Alignment
A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole
can cause the front end of your vehicle
to become misaligned or cause damage
to your tires. If your vehicle seems to
pull to one side when you’re driving, the
wheels may be out of alignment. Have
an authorized dealer check the wheel
alignment periodically.
Wheel misalignment in the front or the
rear can cause uneven and rapid
treadwear of your tires and should be
corrected by an authorized dealer.
Front-wheel drive vehicles and those
with an independent rear suspension
may require alignment of all four wheels.
The tires should also be balanced
periodically. An unbalanced tire and
wheel assembly may result in irregular
tire wear.
Tire Rotation
WARNING
If the tire label shows different tire
pressures for the front and rear
tires and the vehicle has a tire pressure
monitoring system, then you need to
update the settings for the system
sensors. Always perform the system
reset procedure after tire rotation. If you
do not reset the system, it may not
provide a low tire pressure warning
when necessary. Note:
If your tires show uneven wear
ask an authorized dealer to check for
and correct any wheel misalignment,
tire imbalance or mechanical problem
involved before tire rotation.
Note: Your vehicle may be equipped
with a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly. A dissimilar spare wheel and
tire assembly is defined as a spare
wheel and tire assembly that is different
in brand, size or appearance from the
road tires and wheels. If you have a
dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
it is intended for temporary use only and
should not be used in a tire rotation.
Note: After having your tires rotated,
inflation pressure must be checked and
adjusted to the vehicle requirements.
Rotating your tires at the recommended
interval (as indicated in the Scheduled
Maintenance chapter) will help your tires
wear more evenly, providing better tire
performance and longer tire life.

Sometimes irregular tire wear can be
corrected by rotating the tires.
USING SNOW CHAINS WARNING
Snow tires must be the same size, load
index and speed rating as those
originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire
or wheel not recommended by Ford can
affect the safety and performance of your
vehicle, which could result in an increased
risk of loss of control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. Additionally, the
use of non-recommended tires and wheels
can cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer
case or power transfer unit failure. Follow
the Ford recommended tire inflation pressure
found on the Safety Compliance Certification
Label (on the door hinge pillar, door latch
post or the door edge that meets the door
latch post, next to the driver seat), or Tire
Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver
door. Failure to follow the tire pressure
recommendations can cause uneven
treadwear patterns and adversely affect the
way your vehicle handles. Note:
The suspension insulation and
bumpers will help prevent vehicle damage.
Do not remove these components from your
vehicle when using snow tires and chains.
The tires on your vehicle have all-weather
treads to provide traction in rain and snow.
However, in some climates, you may need
to use snow tires and cables. If you need to
use cables, it is recommended that steel
wheels (of the same size and specifications)
be used, as cables may chip aluminum
wheels.
Follow these guidelines when using snow
tires and chains:
• If possible, avoid fully loading your
vehicle.
• Use only cable type chains or chains
offered by Ford/Lincoln as an accessory
or equivalent. Other conventional link
type chains may contact and cause
damage to the vehicle's wheel house
and/or body.
• Do not install chains on the front tires as
this may interfere with suspension
components.
312
Navigator (TB5) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Wheels and TiresE142548

•
Only certain snow cables or chains have
been approved by Ford/Lincoln as safe
for use on your vehicle with the following
tires: 265/70R17 and 275/65R18.
• You should install snow cables or chains
that have been rated as SAE Class S.
• Install chains securely, verifying that the
chains do not touch any wiring, brake
lines, or fuel lines.
• Do not exceed 31 mph (50 km/h) or less
if recommended by the chain
manufacturer while using snow chains.
• Drive cautiously. If you hear the chains
rub or bang against your vehicle, stop
and retighten the chains. If this does not
work, remove the chains to prevent
damage to your vehicle.
• Remove the tire chains when they are no
longer needed. Do not use tire chains on
dry roads.
• Purchase chains or cables from a
manufacturer that clearly labels body to
tire dimension restrictions. The snow
chains or cables must be mounted in
pairs on the rear tires only. If you have any questions regarding snow
chains or cables, please contact your
authorized dealer.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNING
The tire pressure monitoring system is
not a substitute for manually checking
tire pressures. You should periodically check
tire pressures using a pressure gauge.
Failure to correctly maintain tire pressures
could increase the risk of tire failure, loss of
control, vehicle rollover and personal injury. Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a
low tire pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle ’s handling and stopping ability.
313
Navigator (TB5) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Wheels and Tires

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’
s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
The tire pressure monitoring system
complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and
with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept
any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules and with Licence exempt RSS
Standards of Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful
interference.
• This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation. Changing Tires With a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
Note:
Each road tire is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor located inside the wheel
and tire assembly cavity. The pressure
sensor is attached to the valve stem. The
pressure sensor is covered by the tire and
is not visible unless the tire is removed. Take
care when changing the tire to avoid
damaging the sensor.
You should always have your tires serviced
by an authorized dealer.

4.
Turn the hazard flashers on then off three
times. You must accomplish this within
10 seconds. If the reset mode has been
entered successfully, the horn will sound
once, the system indicator will flash and
a message is shown in the information
display. If this does not occur, please try
again starting at Step 2. If after repeated
attempts to enter the reset mode, the
horn does not sound, the system
indicator does not flash and no message
is shown in the information display, seek
service from your authorized dealer.
5. Train the tire pressure monitoring system
sensors in the tires using the following
system reset sequence starting with the
left front tire in the following clockwise
order: Left front (driver's side front tire),
Right front (passenger's side front tire),
Right rear (passenger's side rear tire), Left
rear (driver's side rear tire).
6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the left front tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn sounds. Note:
The single horn chirp confirms that the
sensor identification code has been learned
by the module for this position. If a double
horn is heard, the reset procedure was
unsuccessful, and you must repeat it.
7. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the right front tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn sounds.
8. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the right rear tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn sounds.
9. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the left rear tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn sounds.
Training is complete after the horn
sounds for the last tire trained (driver's
side rear tire), the system indicator stops
flashing, and a message is shown in the
information display.
10. Turn the ignition off. If two short horn beeps are heard, the reset procedure
was unsuccessful and you must repeat
it. If after repeating the procedure and
two short beeps are heard when the
ignition is turned to off, seek assistance
from your authorized dealer. 11. Set all four tires to the recommended
air pressure as indicated on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label (affixed
to either the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post, or the door edge that
meets the door-latch post, next to the
driver's seating position) or Tire Label
located on the B-Pillar or the edge of
the driver's door.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL WARNINGS
The use of tire sealant may damage
your tire pressure monitoring system
and should only be used in roadside
emergencies. If you must use a sealant, the
Ford Tire Mobility Kit sealant should be used.
The tire pressure monitoring system sensor
and valve stem on the wheel must be
replaced by an authorized dealer after use
of the sealant. If the tire pressure monitor sensor
becomes damaged, it will no longer
function. See Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (page 313). 319

Tire Change Procedure
WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is off the
ground, the transmission alone will not
prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping
off the jack. To help prevent the vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure to place the transmission in park (P), set
the parking brake and block (in both
directions) the wheel that is diagonally
opposite (other side and end of the vehicle)
to the tire being changed. Never get underneath a vehicle that is
supported only by a jack. If the vehicle
slips off the jack, you or someone else could
be seriously injured. Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving
traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel. WARNINGS
Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one provided
as original equipment with your vehicle,
make sure the jack capacity is adequate for
the vehicle weight, including any vehicle
cargo or modifications. Disable the power running boards
before jacking, lifting, or placing any
object under the vehicle. Never place your
hand between the power running board and
the vehicle as extended power running
boards will retract when the doors are
closed. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions
when using the spare tire carrier could
cause loss of the wheel and tire and lead to
personal injury: Only use the spare tire carrier
to stow the tire and wheel combination
specified on the Tire Label or Safety
Compliance Certification Label on the B-Pillar
or the edge of the driver door. Other tire and
wheel combinations could cause the carrier
to fail if it does not fit securely or is too
heavy. Do not use impact tools or power WARNINGS
tools operating over 200 RPM, which may
cause winch malfunction and prevent a
secure fit. Override the winch at least three
times (there will be an audible click each
time) to ensure a tight secure fit of the wheel
and tire. Note:
Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Park on a level surface, activate the hazard
flashers and set the parking brake. Then,
place the transmission in park (P) and turn
the engine off.
Removing the Jack and Tools
Note: Pay close attention to the orientation
of the bag, because it will have to be
reinstalled after changing the tire.
1. Open the liftgate, then locate the access
panel on the floor behind the third row
seat. Unlatch and remove the panel.
