Tire Change Procedure
WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is offthe ground, the transmission alonewill not prevent the vehicle frommoving or slipping off the jack, even if thetransmission is in park (P).
WARNINGS
To help prevent the vehicle frommoving when you change a tire, besure to place the transmission in park(P), set the parking brake and block (inboth directions) the wheel that isdiagonally opposite (other side and end ofthe vehicle) to the tire being changed.
Never get underneath a vehicle thatis supported only by a jack. If thevehicle slips off the jack, you orsomeone else could be seriously injured.
Do not attempt to change a tire onthe side of the vehicle close tomoving traffic. Pull far enough off theroad to avoid the danger of being hit whenoperating the jack or changing the wheel.
Always use the jack provided asoriginal equipment with your vehicle.If using a jack other than the oneprovided as original equipment with yourvehicle, make sure the jack capacity isadequate for the vehicle weight, includingany vehicle cargo or modifications.
1.Park on a level surface, set the parkingbrake and activate the hazard flashers.
2.Place the transmission in park (P) andturn the engine off.

3.Block the diagonally opposite wheel.The parking brake is on thetransmission. Therefore, the vehicle willnot be prevented from moving when arear wheel is lifted, even if the parkingbrake is applied. Be sure to block bothdirections of the wheel that isdiagonally opposite to the wheel thatis being lifted.
4.Remove the spare tire and jack fromthe storage location.
5.Loosen the wheel nut by pulling up onthe handle of the lug nut wrench aboutone-half turn (counterclockwise). Donot remove the wheel lug nuts until youraise the tire off the ground.
6.Position the jack to raise the front orrear wheel. Raise the vehicle with thejack applied to the axle(s).
Note:Never use the rear differential as ajacking point.
7.Raise the vehicle until the wheel iscompletely off the ground.
8.Remove the lug nuts with the lug nutwrench.
9.Replace the flat tire with the spare tire.
10.Use the lug nut wrench to screw thelug nut snugly against the wheel.
11.Lower the vehicle.
12.Remove the jack and fully tighten thelug nuts in the order shown.
8-lug nut wheel
10-lug nut wheel
13. Replace any wheel trim.

Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materialspresent 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 fastenersthat attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mountingsurfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at thewheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come offwhile the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control.
Ib-ft (Nm)*Bolt size
150 (200)M14 x 1.5(19.5 inch wheels)
450 (610)M22 x 1.5(22.5 inch wheels)
*Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Fordrecommended replacement fasteners.
On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, retighten the wheel lug nuts to the specifiedtorque at 100 miles (160 kilometers), and again at 500 miles (800 kilometers) of newvehicle operation and after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a flattire, wheel removal).
On all two-piece flat wheel nuts, apply one drop of motor oil between the flat washerand the nut. Do not apply motor oil to the wheel nut threads or the wheel stud threads.

1Ford recommends using Motorcraft (Ford) DOT 4 LV High Performance Motor VehicleBrake Fluid or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Use of any fluid other than therecommended fluid may cause degraded brake performance and not meet the Fordperformance standards. Keep brake fluid clean and dry. Contamination with dirt, water,petroleum products or other materials may result in brake system damage and possiblefailure.
2Capacity is approximate and will vary due to second-stage manufacturer completionof HVAC system. Fill to the Cold Fill Level on reservoir.
3Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
4The design of your engine allows for the use of Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oilsthat meet Ford specifications. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommendedviscosity grade that meets API SN requirements and displays the API certification markfor gasoline engines.
5Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are unnecessary andcould lead to engine damage not covered by your warranty.
6Do not use API category oils labeled SN, SM, SL or lower category unless the label alsodisplays the API certification mark. These oils do not meet the requirements of yourengine and emission systems.
7Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based oncooler size and if equipped with in-tank cooler. Use the indication on the dipstick, showingthe normal operating range, to determine the amount of transmission fluid and the fluidlevel.
8Automatic transmissions that require Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid shouldonly use Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid. Use of any fluid other than therecommended fluid may cause transmission damage. Change the automatic transmis-sion fluid and filter at the correct service interval.
9Filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant, consider the rear axle on your vehicle filledfor life. You do not need to check or change the rear axle lubricant unless you suspecta leak. Change the rear axle lubricant any time you have submerged the rear axle inwater.
