change wheel FORD ESCAPE 2013 3.G User Guide

T type tires have some additional
information beyond those of P type tires;
these differences are described below:
A.T: Indicates a type of tire, designated by
the Tire and Rim Association (T&RA), that
is intended for temporary service on cars,
SUVs, minivans and light trucks.
B. 145: Indicates the nominal width of the
tire in millimeters from sidewall edge to
sidewall edge. In general, the larger the
number, the wider the tire.
C. 80: Indicates the aspect ratio which
gives the tire's ratio of height to width.
Numbers of 70 or lower indicate a short
sidewall.
D. D: Indicates a diagonal type tire.
R: Indicates a radial type tire. E.
16: Indicates the wheel or rim diameter
in inches. If you change your wheel size,
you will have to purchase new tires to
match the new wheel diameter.
Location of the Tire Label
You will find a Tire Label containing tire
inflation pressure by tire size and other
important information located on the
B-Pillar or the edge of the driver ’s door.
Inflating Your Tires
Safe operation of your vehicle requires that
your tires are properly inflated. Remember
that a tire can lose up to half of its air
pressure without appearing flat.
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.
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

WARNING
Under-inflation is the most common
cause of tire failures and may result
in severe tire cracking, tread
separation or blowout, with unexpected
loss of vehicle control and increased risk
of injury. Under-inflation increases sidewall
flexing and rolling resistance, resulting in
heat buildup and internal damage to the
tire. It also may result in unnecessary tire
stress, irregular wear, loss of vehicle
control and accidents. A tire can lose up
to half of its air pressure and not appear
to be flat!
Always inflate your tires to the Ford
recommended inflation pressure even if it
is less than the maximum inflation
pressure information found on the tire. The
Ford recommended tire inflation pressure
is found on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label (affixed to either the
door hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the
door edge that meets the door-latch post,
next to the driver's seating position), or Tire
Label which is located on the B-Pillar or
the edge of the driver ’s door. Failure to
follow the tire pressure recommendations
can cause uneven treadwear patterns and
adversely affect the way your vehicle
handles Maximum Permissible Inflation
Pressure is the tire manufacturer's
maximum permissible pressure and the
pressure at which the maximum load can
be carried by the tire. This pressure is
normally higher than the manufacturer
’s
recommended cold inflation pressure
which can be found on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label (affixed to
either the door hinge pillar, door-latch post,
or the door edge that meets the door-latch
post, next to the driver's seating position),
or Tire Label which is located on the
B-Pillar or the edge of the driver ’s door. The
cold inflation pressure should never be set
lower than the recommended pressure on
the Safety Compliance Certification Label
or Tire Label.
When weather temperature changes
occur, tire inflation pressures also change.
A 10°F (6°C) temperature drop can cause
a corresponding drop of 1 psi (7 kPa) in
inflation pressure. Check your tire pressures
frequently and adjust them to the proper
pressure which can be found on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label or Tire
Label.
To check the pressure in your tire(s):
1. Make sure the tires are cool, meaning they are not hot from driving even a
mile.
Note: If you are checking tire pressure when
the tire is hot, (i.e. driven more than 1 mile
[1.6 km]), never bleed or reduce air pressure.
The tires are hot from driving and it is normal
for pressures to increase above
recommended cold pressures. A hot tire at
or below recommended cold inflation
pressure could be significantly
under-inflated.
Note: If you have to drive a distance to get
air for your tire(s), check and record the tire
pressure first and add the appropriate air
pressure when you get to the pump. It is
normal for tires to heat up and the air
pressure inside to go up as you drive.

Tire Change Procedure
WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is off
the ground, the transmission alone
will not prevent the vehicle from
moving or slipping off the jack, even if the
vehicle is in position P.
To help prevent the vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure the parking brake is set, then
block (in both directions) the wheel that
is diagonally opposite (other side and end
of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously
injured.
Do not attempt to change a tire on
the side of the vehicle close to
moving traffic. Pull far enough off the
road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
To lessen the risk of personal injury,
do not put any part of your body
under the vehicle while changing a
tire. Do not start the engine when your
vehicle is on the jack. The jack is only
meant for changing the tire.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the gearshift lever in position P and turn the engine off.
3. Remove the carpeted wheel cover.
4. Remove the lug wrench and jack from the foam holder. Then, remove the flat
tire retainer strap from the jack base.
5. Block the diagonally opposite wheel.
6. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-halfturn counterclockwise but do not
remove them until the wheel is raised
off the ground.
7. The vehicle jacking points are shown here, and are depicted on the yellow
warning label on the jack. Jack at the
specified locations to avoid
damage to the vehicle.

access any function requiring a prolonged
view of the screen while you are driving.
Pull over in a safe and legal manner before
attempting to access a function of the
system requiring prolonged attention. Even
occasional short scans to the screen may
be hazardous if your attention has been
diverted away from your driving task at a
critical time.
Volume Setting: Do not raise the volume
excessively. Keep the volume at a level
where you can still hear outside traffic and
emergency signals while driving. Driving
while unable to hear these sounds could
cause an accident. Use of Speech Recognition Functions:
Speech recognition software is inherently
a statistical process which is subject to
errors. It is your responsibility to monitor
any speech recognition functions included
in the system and address any errors.
Navigation Features: Any navigation
features included in the system are
intended to provide turn by turn
instructions to get you to a desired
destination. Please make certain all
persons using this system carefully read
and follow instructions and safety
information fully.
Distraction Hazard: Any navigation
features may require manual (non-verbal)
setup. Attempting to perform such set-up
or insert data while driving can seriously
distract your attention and could cause an
accident or other serious consequences.
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
before attempting these operations.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: Any
navigation features are provided only as
an aid. Make your driving decisions based
on your observations of local conditions
and existing traffic regulations. Any such
feature is not a substitute for your personal
judgment. Any route suggestions made by
this system should never replace any local
traffic regulations or your personal
