2022 FORD BRONCO SPORT Owners Manual

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
Assembly Information WARNING:
Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or
death.
If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and
tire, then it is intended for temporary use
only. This means that if you need to use it,
you should replace it as soon as possible
with a road wheel and tire assembly that
