WHEELS
Your vehicle has unique wheels matched
to the tires. These wheels are more
susceptible to damage due to their
diameter, width and low profile tires.
To avoid damage to your wheels:
•
Maintain proper tire pressure (see Tires
in this supplement).
• When installing wheels, always torque
lug nuts to specification with a torque
wrench.
• Inspect your wheels for damage on a
regular basis. If a wheel is damaged,
replace it immediately.
• In the event that you encounter an
abnormally harsh impact, inspect the
outer diameter of your wheels, both
inside and out, for damage.
Use Motorcraft™ Wheel and Tire Cleaner
to maintain your wheels. See your Owner ’s
Manual for information on other cleaning
products and vehicle care. Wheel Lug Nut Torque
Specifications WARNING: When you install a
wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt
or foreign materials present on the
mounting surfaces of the wheel or the
surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make
sure to secure any fasteners that attach
the rotor to the hub so they do not
interfere with the mounting surfaces of
the wheel. Installing wheels without
correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to
come off while your vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified
torque at
500 mi (800 km) after any
wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing
a flat tire or wheel removal). lb-ft (Nm)*

TIRES WARNING:
Only use replacement
tires and wheels that are the same size,
load index, speed rating and type (such
as P-metric versus LT-metric or
all-season versus all-terrain) as those
originally provided by Ford. The
recommended tire and wheel size may
be found on either the Safety
Compliance Certification Label (affixed to either the door hinge pillar, door-latch
post, or the door edge that meets the
door-latch post, next to the driver's
seating position), or the Tire Label which
is located on the B-Pillar or edge of the
driver's door. If this information is not
found on these labels, then you should
contact your authorized dealer as soon
