2021 FORD BRONCO warning

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.
For the best tire life, a five tire
rotation is recommended that
includes the matching spare tire
mounted on the back of the
vehicle. This rotation requires a
forced re-learning of your tire
pressure monitor system sensors
by your vehicle, and should be
performed by an authorized dealer
or a service center to ensure the
tire pressure monitor system will
provide proper warning at all
times. When performing the tire
rotation yourself, a four tire
rotation is recommended, without
using the spare tire in the rotation,
so that no tire pressure monitor
system sensor re-learn is required.
If a five tire rotation is performed
without a tire pressure monitor
system sensor re-learn, the
system may not provide a low tire
pressure warning when necessary.
Keep in mind that a spare tire that
is not used in the tire rotation
should only be used temporarily
in the event of a flat tire, not as a
permanent replacement. The
spare tire should always be
replaced if it exceeds 6 years of
age, regardless of whether it is
part of the tire rotation.
Rear-wheel drive vehicles and
four-wheel drive vehicles with four
tire rotation, front tires at left of
diagram.
Sometimes irregular tire wear can
be corrected by rotating the tires.

WHAT IS THE TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
The tire pressure monitoring
system measures the vehicle's
tire pressures. A warning lamp
illuminates if one or more tires are
significantly underinflated or if there is a
system malfunction.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS 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. WARNING:
Do not use the tire
pressure displayed in the information
display as a tire pressure gauge. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
Note: The use of tire sealants can damage
the tire pressure monitoring system.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
When the outside temperature drops
significantly, the tire pressure could
decrease and activate the low tire pressure
warning lamp.
The warning lamp could also illuminate
when you use a spare wheel, or tire sealant
from the inflator kit. Note:
Regularly checking the vehicle tire
pressures can reduce the possibility for the
warning lamp to illuminate due to outside
air temperature changes.
Note: After you inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure it could take up to
two minutes of driving over
20 mph
(32 km/h) for the warning indicator to turn
off.
VIEWING THE TIRE
PRESSURES Using the information display
arrow keys navigate to the truck
info section where you can view
the tire pressures.

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
Note:
You should only use tire sealants in
roadside emergencies as they may cause
damage to the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light illuminates when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.
If you get a flat tire when driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized
dealer in order to prevent damage to the
tire pressure monitoring system sensors.
Replace the spare tire with a road tire as
soon as possible. During repairing or
replacing of the flat tire, have the
authorized dealer inspect the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor for damage.
Tire Change Procedure WARNING: Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or
death. WARNING:
Do not get under a
vehicle that is only supported by a
vehicle jack. WARNING:
The jack supplied with
this vehicle is only intended for changing
wheels. Do not use the vehicle jack other
than when you are changing a wheel in
an emergency. WARNING: Check that the vehicle
jack is not damaged or deformed and
the thread is lubricated and clean. WARNING:
Do not work on your
vehicle when the jack is the only support
as your vehicle could slip off the jack.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death. WARNING:
To help prevent your
vehicle from moving when changing a
wheel, shift the transmission into park
(P), set the parking brake and use an
appropriate block or wheel chock to
secure the wheel diagonally opposite to
the wheel being changed. For example,
when changing the front left wheel,
place an appropriate block or wheel
chock on the right rear wheel. WARNING:
Always use the jack
provided as original equipment with your
vehicle. If using a jack other than the one
provided, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight,
including any vehicle cargo or
modifications. If you are unsure if the jack
capacity is adequate, contact the
authorized dealer. WARNING:
Use only the specified
jacking points. If you use other positions,
you may damage the body, steering,
suspension, engine, braking system or
the fuel lines. WARNING:
Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and your
vehicle. WARNING:
Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and the ground.

WARNING: Park your vehicle so
that you do not obstruct the flow of
traffic or place yourself in any danger and
set up a warning triangle. WARNING:
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.
Note: Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Note: Jack at the specified locations to
avoid damage to the vehicle. Note:
No maintenance or additional
lubrication of your jack is required over the
service life of your vehicle.
1. Park the vehicle on a level firm ground and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Apply the parking brake, and place the
transmission in park (P) for an
automatic transmission or reverse (R)
for a manual transmission and turn the
engine off.
3. Block the wheel diagonally opposite of
the flat tire. For example, if the left
front is flat, block the right rear wheel. 4. Find the jack and tool kit in the rear
trunk of the vehicle. Turn the jack
retainer counterclockwise to remove
the jack and jack extension block. 5. Remove the tool bag.
