2022 FORD F-550 spare wheel

Tire and Wheel Alignment
A bad jolt from hitting a curb or
pothole can cause the front end
of your vehicle to become
misaligned or cause damage to
your tires. If your vehicle seems to
pull to one side when you are
driving, the wheels could be out of
alignment. Have an authorized
dealer check the wheel alignment
periodically.
Wheel misalignment in the front
or the rear can cause uneven and
rapid treadwear of your tires and
should be corrected by an
authorized dealer.
INSPECTING THE WHEEL
VALVE STEMS
Check the valve stems for holes,
cracks, or cuts that may permit air
leakage and replace the valve
stem if damaged.
Note:
A new valve stem (including
new nut, new washer & new screw)
must be installed whenever a new
tire or wheel is installed.
TIRE ROTATION WARNING: If the tire label
shows different tire pressures for
the front and rear tires and the
vehicle has a tire pressure
monitoring system, then you
need to update the settings for
the system sensors. Always perform the system reset
procedure after tire rotation. If
you do not reset the system, it
may not provide a low tire
pressure warning when
necessary.
Rotating your tires at the
recommended interval will help
your tires wear more evenly,
providing better tire performance
and longer tire life.
Note: If your tires show any uneven
wear have the alignment checked
by an authorized dealer before
rotating tires.
Note: If you have a dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly, it is
intended for temporary use only
and should not be used in a tire
rotation.
Note: After having your tires
rotated, inflation pressure must be
checked and adjusted to the
vehicle requirements.

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.

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.

pressure sensors are mounted into
each tire on your trailer. The
sensors send a message to your
vehicle indicating the current
trailer tire pressure and
temperature.
If the trailer tire pressure
monitoring system detects that a
tire is low, a warning message
appears in the information display.
The trailer tire information screen
in the information display
highlights the tire with a low
pressure.
If the trailer tire pressure
monitoring system detects that a
tire temperature is over temp, a
warning message appears in the
Information display. The trailer tire
information screen in the
information display highlights the
tire with a high temperature.
The main function of the trailer tire
pressure monitoring system is to
warn you when your trailer tires
need air or if the tires are
experiencing high temperatures.
It can also warn you in the event
the system is no longer capable
of functioning as intended. See
Tire Pressure Monitoring

monitoring system reset
procedure.
Trailer Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Reset
Procedure
Note: You need to perform the tire
pressure monitoring system reset
procedure after each tire rotation,
or when a new trailer tire pressure
sensor is installed into a trailer tire.
The trailer tire pressure monitoring
system can be reset through the
menu in the information display.
