Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase

the tire’s load carrying capability.

• kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure.

• PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure.

• Cold inflation pressure: The tire pressure when the vehicle has

been stationary and out of direct sunlight for an hour or more and

prior to the vehicle being driven for 1 mile (1.6 km).

• Recommended inflation pressure: The cold inflation pressure found

on the tire label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s

door.

• B-pillar: The structural member at the side of the vehicle behind the

front door.

• Bead area of the tire: Area of the tire next to the rim.

• Sidewall of the tire: Area between the bead area and the tread.

• Tread area of the tire: Area of the perimeter of the tire that

contacts the road when mounted on the vehicle.

• Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or a tire and tube assembly

upon which the tire beads are seated.

INSPECTING AND INFLATING YOUR TIRES

Safe operation of your vehicle requires that your tires are properly

inflated. Remember that a tire can lose up to half of its air pressure

without appearing flat.

Every day before you drive, check

your tires. If one looks lower than

the others, use a tire gauge to check

pressure of all tires and adjust if

required.

At least once a month and before

long trips, inspect each tire and

check the tire pressure with a tire

gauge (including spare, if equipped).

Inflate all tires to the inflation

pressure recommended by Ford

Motor Company.

Inspecting your tires

Periodically inspect the tire treads for uneven or excessive wear and

remove stones, nails, glass or other objects that may be wedged in the
