CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
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 to prevent damage to the system
sensors. See Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Precautions (page 537). Replace
the spare tire with a road tire as soon as
possible. When repairing or replacing the
flat tire, have the authorized dealer inspect
the system sensor for damage.
Note: The use of tire sealant could damage
your tire pressure monitoring system. Only
use in roadside emergencies.
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, you must mount all
road wheels that come with tire pressure
monitoring sensors on this vehicle.
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, the intent of the spare wheel is for
temporary use only. This means that if you
need to use it, replace it as soon as
possible with a road wheel and tire
assembly that is the same size and type
as the road tires and wheels originally
provided by Ford. We define a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly as a spare wheel and tire
assembly that is different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and
wheels.
Full-size dissimilar spare
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, do not:
•
Exceed
70 mph (113 km/h).
• Use more than one dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly at a time.
• Use snow chains on the end of the
vehicle with the dissimilar spare wheel
and tire assembly.
Engage any four-wheel drive mode. See
Four-Wheel Drive Limitations (page 270).
The usage of a full-size dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly can lead to
impairment of the following:
• Handling, stability and braking
performance.
• Comfort and noise.
• Ground clearance and parking at curbs.
• Winter weather driving capability.
• Wet weather driving capability.
• Four-wheel drive capability.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, give
additional caution to:
• Towing a trailer.
• Driving vehicles that come with a
camper body.
• Driving vehicles with a load on the
cargo rack.
Drive cautiously when using a full-size
dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
and seek service as soon as possible.

Tire Change Procedure
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:
The jack supplied with
this vehicle is only intended for changing
a flat tire in an emergency. Do not
attempt to do any other work on your
vehicle when it is supported by the jack,
as your vehicle could slip off the jack.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death. 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 not obstruct the flow of
traffic and avoid the danger of being hit
when operating the jack or changing the
wheel. WARNING:
Only use the jack
provided as original equipment with your
vehicle. WARNING:
Do not get under a
vehicle that is supported by a jack. WARNING:
The jack supplied with
this vehicle is only intended for changing
a flat tire in an emergency. Do not
attempt to do any other work on your
vehicle when it is supported by the jack,
as your vehicle could slip off the jack.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death. WARNING:
The jack should be
used on level firm ground wherever
possible. WARNING:
Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and the ground. WARNING:
Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and your
vehicle. WARNING: It is recommended that
the wheels of the vehicle be chocked,
and that no person should remain in a
vehicle that is being jacked. WARNING:
Switch off the running
boards before jacking or placing any
object under your vehicle. Never place
your hand between the extended running
board and your vehicle. A moving running
board may cause injury.
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.
Note: Only use the spare tire carrier to stow
the tire and wheel combination provided
with your vehicle. Other tire and wheel
combinations can cause the tire carrier to
fail.
Note: Do not use impact tools or power
tools operating at over 200 RPM on the
spare tire carrier, this could cause a winch
malfunction and prevent a secure fit.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Removing the Vehicle Jack and
Tool Bag
The vehicle jack and tool bag are on the
rear passenger side of your vehicle, behind
the passenger seat.

through the access hole in the rear
bumper. Turn the handle
counterclockwise until you lower the
tire to the ground and the cable is
slightly slack to allow you to slide the
tire rearward from under your vehicle.

wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire.
For example, if the left front tire is flat,
block the right rear wheel.

Front Jacking Points
Note:
Use the frame rail as the front jacking
location point, not the control arm. There is
an arrow marked on the frame rail.
Rear Jacking Points Note:
Jack at the specified locations to
avoid damage to the vehicle. 1. Place the vehicle jack at the jacking
point next to the tire you are changing.
2. Reassemble the jack handle, including
the S-hook, to the lug wrench. Insert
the S-hook into the eyelet of the jack
and turn the jack handle clockwise until
the wheel is completely off the ground.
3. Remove the wheel nuts with the lug wrench.
4. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
outward. Reinstall the wheel nuts until
the wheel is snug against the hub. Do
not fully tighten the wheel nuts until
you lower the wheel.
5. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
6. Remove the vehicle jack and fully tighten the wheel nuts in the order
shown.
7. Stow the flat tire.
8. Stow the vehicle jack and lug wrench. Make sure the jack is securely fastened
before you drive.
9. Unblock the wheels. Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire
Note:
Failure to follow the spare tire
stowage instructions could result in failure
of the cable or loss of the spare tire.

1. Lay the tire on the ground with the
valve stem facing up.
2. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. Pull on the cable to
align the components at the end of the
cable.
3. Turn the jack handle clockwise until you raise the tire to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The effort to
turn the jack handle increases
significantly and the spare tire carrier
ratchets or slips when you raise the tire
to the maximum tightness. Tighten to
the point where the ratchet or slip
occurs a minimum of three times, as
indicated by an audible click each time.
The spare tire carrier does not allow
you to overtighten. If the spare tire
carrier ratchets or slips with little effort,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
4. Check that the tire lies flat against the frame and you properly tighten it. Try
to push or pull, then turn the tire to be
sure it does not move. Loosen and
retighten, if necessary. Failure to
properly stow the spare tire could
result in failure of the winch cable and
loss of the tire.
5. Repeat this tightness check procedure
when servicing the spare tire pressure,
every six months, as per your scheduled
maintenance information, or at any
time that the spare tire gets disturbed
through service of other components.
6. If removed, install the spare tire lock into the bumper drive tube with the
spare tire lock key and jack handle. Stowing the Vehicle Jack and Tool
Bag
1. Turn the lead screw eyelet to adjust
the jack up or down until the stowage
markings on the upper channel align
with the lower channel. 2. Place the tools inside of the tool bag.
