CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
WARNING: The use of tire sealants may damage your tire
pressure monitoring system and should not be used. However, if
you must use a sealant, the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and
valve stem on the wheel must be replaced by an authorized Ford
dealer.
WARNING: See Tire Pressure Monitoring System in this
chapter for important information. If the tire pressure monitor
sensor becomes damaged, it will no longer function.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring
system, the indicator light will illuminate when the spare tire is in use.
To restore the full function of the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring sensors must be mounted on the
vehicle.
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring system,
have a flat serviced by an authorized dealer in order to prevent damage
to the system sensors. See Tire Pressure Monitoring System in this
chapter. Replace the spare tire with a road tire as soon as possible.
During repairing or replacing of the flat tire, have the authorized dealer
inspect the system sensor for damage.
