9. Remove the jack and
fully tighten the lug
nuts in the order

Anti-theft lug nuts (if equipped)

If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, one of
the lug nuts on each wheel must be removed and
replaced with a special key. The key and registration
card are attached to the lug wrench and stored with
the spare tire. If you lose the key, send the
registration card to the manufacturer (not the
dealer) to get a replacement key. If the lug
wrench/lug nut key assembly is lost, see your
nearest Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer who has
access to the master set of keys. Do not use an
impact wrench with the anti-theft key.

To remove the
anti-theft lug nut:

1. Insert the key over
the locking lug nut.
Make sure you hold the key square to the lug nut. If
you hold the key at an angle, you could damage the
key and the lug nut.

2. Place the lug nut wrench over the lug nut key and
apply pressure on the key with the wrench.

3. Turn the wrench in a counterclockwise direction
to remove the lug nut.

To install the anti-theft lug nut:

1. Insert the key over the locking lug nut.

2. Place the lug nut wrench over the lug nut key and
apply pressure on the key with the wrench.
