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 buildup 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!

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 tire label or certification 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 manufactures’

maximum permissible pressure and/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 on either the tire label or certification label which is

located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. The cold inflation

pressure should never be set lower than the recommended pressure on

the tire label or certification label.

When weather temperature changes occur, tire inflation pressures also

change. A 10° F(6° C) temperature drop can cause a corresponding

drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check your tire pressures

frequently and adjust them to the proper pressure which can be found

on the tire label or certification label.

If you are checking tire pressure when the tire is hot, (i.e. driven more

than 1 mile [1.6 km]), never “bleed” or reduce air pressure. The tires are

hot from driving and it is normal for pressures to increase above

recommended cold pressures. A hot tire at or below recommended cold

inflation pressure could be significantly under-inflated.

To check the pressure in your tire(s):

1. Make sure the tires are cool, meaning they are not hot from driving

even a mile.

Note: If you have to drive a distance to get air for your tire(s), check

and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure
