2022 FORD BRONCO SPORT warning

USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNING: Do not exceed 30 mph
(50 km/h). Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Do not use snow chains
on snow-free roads. WARNING:
Only fit snow chains to
specified tires. WARNING:
If your vehicle is fitted
with wheel trims, remove them before
fitting snow chains. WARNING: If you choose to install
snow tires on your vehicle, they must be
the same size, construction, and load
range as the original tires listed on the
tire placard, and they must be installed
on all four wheels. Mixing tires of
different size or construction on your
vehicle can adversely affect your
vehicle's handling and braking, and may
lead to loss of vehicle control.
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 traction devices.
• If possible, avoid fully loading your
vehicle.
• Purchase chains or cables from a
manufacturer that clearly labels body
to tire dimension restrictions. •
Use 10 mm cables or chains only on
front axle with 225/65R17 and
225/60R18 tires.
• Not all S-class snow chains or cables
meet these restrictions. Chains of this
size restriction will include a tensioning
device.
• The snow chains or cables must be
mounted in pairs on the front axle.
• Do not use chains or cables on
235/65R17 tires.
• Install cables securely, verifying that
the cables do not touch any wiring,
brake lines or fuel lines.
• When driving with tire cables do not
exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) or the
maximum speed recommended by the
chain manufacturer, whichever is less.
• Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables
rub or bang against the vehicle, stop
and retighten them. If this does not
work, remove the cables to prevent
vehicle damage.
• Remove the cables when they are no
longer needed. Do not use cables on
dry roads.
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.
Note: You should only use tire
sealants in roadside emergencies
as they may cause damage to the
tire pressure monitoring system
sensor.
Note: If the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor becomes
damaged, it may not function. 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.
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
324
2022 Bronco Sport (CHD) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202107, First-Printing Wheels and Tires

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.

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.

Check the tire pressure
periodically (at least monthly)
using an accurate tire gauge. See
When Inflating Your Tires in this
chapter.
Understanding Your Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
The tire pressure monitoring
system measures pressure in your
road tires and sends the tire
pressure readings to your vehicle.
You can view the tire pressure
readings through the information
display. See General
Information (page 102). The low
tire pressure warning light will turn
on if the tire pressure is
significantly low. Once the light is
illuminated, your tires are under-inflated and need to be
inflated to the manufacturer
’s
recommended tire pressure. Even
if the light turns on and a short
time later turns off, your tire
pressure still needs to be checked.
When Your Temporary Spare
Tire is Installed
When one of your road tires needs
to be replaced with the temporary
spare, the system will continue to
identify an issue to remind you
that the damaged road wheel and
tire assembly needs to be repaired
and put back on your vehicle.
To restore the full function of the
tire pressure monitoring system,
have the damaged road wheel
and tire assembly repaired and
remounted on your vehicle.
When You Believe Your System
is Not Operating Properly
The main function of the tire
pressure monitoring system is to
warn you when your tires need air.
It can also warn you in the event
the system is no longer capable
of functioning as intended. See
the following chart for information
concerning your tire pressure
monitoring system:

When Inflating Your 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 putting air into your tires
(such as at a gas station or in your
garage), the tire pressure
monitoring system may not
respond immediately to the air
added to your tires.
It may take up to two minutes of
driving over
20 mph (32 km/h) for
the light to turn off after you have
filled your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure.
How Temperature Affects Your
Tire Pressure
The tire pressure monitoring
system monitors tire pressure in
each pneumatic tire. While driving
in a normal manner, a typical
passenger tire inflation pressure
may increase about
2 –4 psi
(14– 28 kPa) from a cold start
situation. If the vehicle is stationary overnight with the
outside temperature significantly
lower than the daytime
temperature, the tire pressure may
decrease about
3 psi (21 kPa) for
a drop of 30°F (17°C) in ambient
temperature. This lower pressure
value may be detected by the tire
pressure monitoring system as
being significantly lower than the
recommended inflation pressure
and activate the system warning
light for low tire pressure. If the
low tire pressure warning light is
on, visually check each tire to
verify that no tire is flat. If one or
more tires are flat, repair as
necessary. Check the air pressure
in the road tires. If any tire is
under-inflated, carefully drive the
vehicle to the nearest location
where air can be added to the
tires. Inflate all the tires to the
recommended inflation pressure.

CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
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:
If the tire pressure
monitor sensor becomes damaged it
may not function.
Note: 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 your vehicle.
If you get a flat tire when driving, do not
heavily apply the brake. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Firmly hold the
steering wheel 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.
See
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(page 324). 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. Dissimilar Spare Wheel and Tire
