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.

WARNING: Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire

failures and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation

or blowout, with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk

of injury. Under-inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling

resistance, resulting in heat build-up and internal damage to the tire. It

also may result in unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear, loss of vehicle

control and accidents. A tire can lose up to half of its air pressure and

not appear to be flat!

You are strongly urged to buy a reliable tire pressure gauge, as automatic

service station gauges may be inaccurate. Ford recommends the use of a

digital or dial-type tire pressure gauge rather than a stick-type tire

pressure gauge.

Use the recommended cold inflation pressure for optimum tire

performance and wear. Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause

uneven treadwear patterns.

Always inflate your tires to the Ford recommended inflation pressure

even if it is less than the maximum inflation pressure information found

on the tire. The Ford recommended tire inflation pressure is found on

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 Tire Label which is located

on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. Failure to follow the tire

pressure recommendations can cause uneven treadwear patterns and

adversely affect the way your vehicle handles.

Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure is the tire manufacturer’s

maximum permissible pressure or the pressure at which the maximum

load can be carried by the tire. This pressure is normally higher than the

manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure which can be found
