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

tread grooves. Check for holes or cuts that may permit air leakage from

the tire and make necessary repairs.

Also inspect the tire sidewalls for cuts, bruises and other damage. If

internal damage to the tire is suspected, have the tire demounted and

inspected in case it needs to be repaired or replaced. For your safety,

tires that are damaged should not be used because they are more likely

to blow out or fail. Tires can be damaged during off-road use, so

inspection after off-road use is also recommended.

Inflating your tires

When checking the air pressure in your tires, make sure that you

carefully attach the air pressure gauge/air hose to the tire’s valve

stem directly on top of the valve stem. If you bend the valve stem, it

may become damaged and cause an air leak.

Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation pressure, including the spare

(if equipped), at least monthly and before long trips. 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.
