FORD 2013 Edge v.4 - Manual (Page 345)

Stowing the Flat/Spare Tire and Jack
Note: If you are stowing a flat 22 inch tire and wheel assembly,
temporarily remove the load floor, plastic stowage bins, and the foam
load floor supports to make space. Place the 22 inch tire and wheel
assembly in the spare tire well with the valve stem facing down. Rotate
the tire until the jack assembly is able to protrude through a wheel
opening. Replace the plastic stowage bins and foam load floor supports
around the 22 inch tire and wheel assembly.
Note: If you are stowing a flat tire, place the tire in the spare tire well
with the valve stem facing down. Rotate the tire until the jack assembly
is able to protrude through a wheel opening.
Note: If you are stowing the spare tire, place the spare in the spare tire
well in its original position.
1. Put the flat tire, jack and lug wrench away. Make sure the jack kit is
secured in its original location and orientation in the jack kit recess
under the flat or spare tire. Unblock the wheels.
2. Secure the wheel by replacing the washer and the wing nut and
turning the wing nut clockwise.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING: When a wheel is installed, 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 that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured 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 control.
