How Temperature Affects Your TirePressure
The tire pressure monitoring systemmonitors tire pressure in each pneumatictire. While driving in a normal manner, atypical passenger tire inflation pressuremay increase about 2–4 psi (14–28 kPa)from a cold start situation. If the vehicle isstationary overnight with the outsidetemperature significantly lower than thedaytime temperature, the tire pressure maydecrease about 3 psi (21 kPa) for a drop of30°F (17°C) in ambient temperature. Thislower pressure value may be detected bythe tire pressure monitoring system asbeing significantly lower than therecommended inflation pressure andactivate the system warning light for lowtire pressure. If the low tire pressurewarning light is on, visually check each tireto verify that no tire is flat. If one or moretires are flat, repair as necessary. Checkthe air pressure in the road tires. If any tireis under-inflated, carefully drive the vehicleto the nearest location where air can beadded to the tires. Inflate all the tires tothe recommended inflation pressure.

Dissimilar Spare Wheel and TireAssembly Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these guidelinescould result in an increased risk ofloss of vehicle control, injury or death.
If you have a dissimilar spare wheel andtire, then it is intended for temporary useonly.

A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assemblyis defined as a spare wheel and tireassembly that is different in brand, size orappearance from the road tires and wheelsand can be one of three types:
1.T-type mini-spare: This spare tirebegins with the letter T for tire size andmay have Temporary Use Only moldedin the sidewall.
2.Full-size dissimilar spare with labelon wheel: This spare tire has a labelon the wheel that states: THIS WHEELAND TIRE ASSEMBLY FORTEMPORARY USE ONLY.
3.Full-size dissimilar spare withoutlabel on wheel.
When driving with a type 1 or 2dissimilar spare tire listed above, donot:
•Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
•Load the vehicle beyond maximumvehicle load rating listed on the SafetyCompliance Label.
•Tow a trailer.
•Use more than one dissimilar spare tireat a time.
•Use commercial car washingequipment.

When driving with a type 3 dissimilarspare tire listed above, do not:
•Exceed 70 mph (113 km/h).
•Use more than one dissimilar sparewheel and tire assembly at a time.
•Use commercial car washingequipment.
Use of one of the dissimilar spare tireslisted above at any one wheel location canlead to impairment of the following:
•Handling, stability and brakingperformance.
•Comfort and noise.
•Ground clearance and parking at curbs.
•Winter weather driving capability.
•Wet weather driving capability.
•All-wheel driving capability (ifapplicable).
The usage of a full-size dissimilar sparewheel and tire assembly can lead toimpairment of the following:
•Handling, stability and brakingperformance.
•Comfort and noise.
•Ground clearance and parking at curbs.
•Winter weather driving capability.
•Wet weather driving capability.
•All-wheel driving capability.
When driving with the full-size dissimilarspare wheel and tire assembly additionalcaution should be given to:
•Towing a trailer.
•Driving vehicles equipped with acamper body.
•Driving vehicles with a load on thecargo rack.
Drive cautiously when using a full-sizedissimilar spare wheel and tire assemblyand seek service as soon as possible.
Vehicles With a Spare Wheel
If the spare wheel is exactly the same typeand size as the other fitted wheels, you canreplace the existing road wheel with thespare wheel and continue to drive in thenormal manner.
If the spare wheel is different to the otherwheels, it will carry a yellow label with theappropriate speed limit.
See the following information for using thespare wheel.
WARNINGS
Drive the shortest possible distances.
Do not fit more than one spare wheelon your vehicle at any one time.
Do not carry out any tire repairs on aspare wheel.
If you are not sure what type of sparewheel your vehicle has, do notexceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
The ground clearance of your vehiclemay be reduced. Take care whenparking next to a curb.
Note:The use of tire sealant may damageyour tire pressure monitoring system andshould only be used in roadsideemergencies. If you must use a sealant, theFord Tire Mobility Kit sealant should beused. The tire pressure monitoring systemsensor and valve stem on the wheel mustbe replaced by an authorized dealer afteruse of the sealant.
Note:Your vehicle may exhibit somedifferent driving characteristics if you fit thespare wheel.
Note:If the spare wheel is fitted to yourvehicle, do not drive through an automaticcar wash.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and Reception Factors
Radio Reception Factors
The further you travel away from an FM station, the weakerthe signal and the weaker the reception.Distance and Strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freewayoverpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage andthunderstorms can interfere with the reception.
Terrain
When you pass near a radio transmission tower, a strongersignal can override a weaker signal and can cause interfer-ence in the audio system.
Station overload
MP3 and WMA Track and FolderStructure
Audio systems capable of recognizing andplaying MP3 and WMA individual tracksand folder structures work as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3and WMA disc playback: MP3 andWMA track mode (system default) andMP3 and WMA folder mode.
•MP3 and WMA track mode ignores anyfolder structure on the MP3 and WMAdisc. The player numbers each MP3and WMA track on the disc (noted bythe .mp3 or .WMA file extension) fromT001 to a maximum of T255.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on thefringe of the reception area, the station may mute due toweak signal strength.
Reception area
If you are listening to HD1, the system changes back to theanalog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again.However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7multicast channels, the station mutes and stays muted unlessit is able to connect to the digital signal again.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast stations), it first plays the station in the analogversion. Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD Radiostation, it shifts to the digital version. Depending on the stationquality, you may hear a slight sound change when the stationchanges from analog to digital. Blending is the shift fromanalog to digital sound or digital back to analog sound.
Station blending
In order to provide the best possibleexperience, use the contact form to reportany station issues found while listening toa station broadcasting with HD Radiotechnology. Independent entities own andoperate each station. These stations areresponsible for ensuring all audio streamsand data fields are accurate.
Potential station issues
ActionCauseIssues
No action required. This is abroadcast issue.This is poor time alignment bythe radio broadcaster.Echo, stutter, skip orrepeat in audio.Increase or decrease inaudio volume.
No action required. The recep-tion issue may clear up as youcontinue to drive.
The radio is shifting betweenanalog and digital audio.Sound fading orblending in and out.
No action required. This isnormal behavior. Wait until theaudio is available.
The digital multicast is notavailable until the HD Radiobroadcast is decoded. Oncedecoded, the audio is available.
There is an audio mutedelay when selectingHD2 or HD3, multicastpreset or Direct Tune.
