of the driver door. The cold
inflation pressure should never be
set lower than the recommended
pressure on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label or
Tire Label.
When weather temperature
changes occur, tire inflation
pressures also change. A 10°F
(6°C) temperature drop can
cause a corresponding drop of
1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure.
Check the tire pressures frequently
and adjust them to the correct
pressure which can be found on
the Safety Compliance
Certification Label or Tire Label.
To check the tire pressures:
1. Make sure the tires are cool, meaning they are not hot from
driving even a mile.
2. Remove the cap from the valve
on one tire, then firmly press
the tire gauge onto the valve
and measure the tire pressure.
3. Add enough air to reach the
recommended tire pressure.
4. Replace the valve cap.
5. Repeat this procedure for each
tire, including the spare.
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. Note:
On the Dual Rear Wheel
Vehicles, the valve is fitted with a
flow through valve cap. There is no
need to remove the cap before
firmly pressing the tire gauge onto
the valve.
Note: If you are checking tire
pressure when the tire is hot, for
example you have driven more than
1.0 mi (1.6 km)
, never bleed or
reduce tire 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 the tires,
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 tire pressure to increase
as you drive.
Note: If you over inflate the tire,
release air by pressing on the metal
stem in the center of the valve.
Then recheck the pressure with
your tire gauge.

You must check the tire
pressures (including the spare
tire where applicable) every two
weeks when the tires are cold. See
Wheels and Tires (page 311). The tire
pressures are also on the tire inflation
pressure label (located on the edge of
driver door or the B-Pillar).
As a driver assistance feature your vehicle
has a tire pressure monitoring system. A
warning lamp will illuminate when one or
more of the tires are significantly
under-inflated. If the low tire pressure
warning lamp illuminates, you should stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so,
check the tires and inflate them to the
correct pressure.
Driving on under-inflated tires can:
• Cause them to overheat.
• Lead to tire failure.
• Reduce fuel efficiency.
• Reduce tire life.
• Affect vehicle handling or stopping
ability.
The system is not substitute for correct tire
maintenance.
You must maintain the correct tire
pressures, even if low tire pressure has not
illuminated the warning lamp.
The tire pressure monitoring system has a
system malfunction indicator to warn you
when the system is not operating correctly.
The malfunction indicator and low tire
pressure warning lamp have a combined
function. When the system detects a
malfunction, the warning lamp will flash
for approximately one minute and then
remain illuminated. This sequence will
occur every time you switch the ignition on
while the malfunction remains. The
system has detected a fault that requires
service. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressures. A
malfunction may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of a
replacement tire or wheel that prevents
the system from functioning correctly.
Always check the tire pressure monitoring
system malfunction warning after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle. Make sure the replacement
tires or wheels allow the system to
continue to function correctly.

How Temperature Affects the Tire
Pressures
Under normal driving conditions tire
pressures may increase by up to
4 psi
(0.3 bar) from a cold start situation.
335
2021 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, MK3J 19A321 AA enUSA, Edition date: 202010, Second-Printing Wheels and Tires

If the vehicle is stationary overnight and
the temperature significantly lower than
the daytime temperature, tire pressures
may decrease by up to 3 psi (0.2 bar) when
there is a drop in the ambient temperature
of 63°F (17°C) or more. The system
detects this pressure decrease as being
significantly below the correct inflation
pressure and the warning lamp illuminates.
When Inflating Tires 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.
When inflating the tires the system may
not respond immediately to the air added
to the tires.
Only inflate tires when they are cold.
If the warning lamp is on:
• Check each tire to verify that none are
flat.
• If one or more tires are flat, repair as
necessary.
• Check the tire pressures and inflate all
tires to the correct pressure.
• Carry out the tire pressure monitoring
system reset procedure. When Changing Tires You should always have tires serviced by
an authorized dealer.
Note:
Each road wheel and tire is fitted with
a tire pressure sensor located inside the
wheel and tire assembly cavity. The pressure
sensor attaches to the valve stem. The tire
covers the pressure sensor and it is not
visible unless the tire is removed. Take care
when changing the tire to avoid damaging
the sensor.
When Changing Wheels
When changing the wheels of your vehicle,
the tire pressure monitoring system needs
to re-learn the tire pressure sensors. To
achieve this perform the following:
1. Make sure all tires are inflated to the proper pressure. If not, inflate the tires
to the correct pressure.
2. Park your vehicle for at least 20 minutes.
3. Carry out the tire pressure monitoring system reset procedure.
4. The tire pressure monitoring system will automatically re-learn the tire
pressure sensors the next time you
drive your vehicle for approximately 15
minutes above 40km/h (25 mph).

Voice Command Issues
Possible Solution(s)
Possible Cause(s)
Issue
Review the phone voice
commands and the media voice commands at the
beginning of their respective sections.
You may be using the wrong
voice commands.
SYNC does not understand what I am saying. After pressing the voice icon,
wait until after the tonesounds and Listening
appears before saying a
command. Any command
spoken before this does not register with the system.
You may be speaking too
soon or at the wrong time.
Review the media voice
commands at the beginning of the media section.
You may be using the wrong
voice commands.
SYNC does not understand
the name of a song or artist. Say the song or artist
exactly as listed. If you say "Play Artist Prince", the
system does not play music
by Prince and the Revolution or Prince and the NewPower Generation.
You may be saying the
name differently than the way you saved it.
Make sure you are saying thecomplete title, such as
"California remix featuring Jennifer Nettles".
If the song titles are in all CAPS, you have to spell
them. LOLA requires you to say "L-O-L-A".
The system may not be
reading the name the same way you are saying it. Do not use special charac-
ters in the title. The system does not recognize them.
Review the Phone voice
commands at the beginning of the phone section.
You may be using the wrong
voice commands.
SYNC does not understand
or is calling the wrong
contact when I want to make a call.
