Note:The trailer tire pressuremonitoring system is not asubstitute for proper tiremaintenance. It is yourresponsibility to maintain correcttire pressures at all times.
Note:If a trailer tire is repaired,replaced or broken down forservice, the screw and valve on thetrailer tire pressure sensor shouldbe replaced. See your authorized
dealer for details.
The trailer tire pressure monitoringsystem is an added safety featurethat allows you to view your trailertire pressures and temperaturesthrough the information display.See Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem – InformationMessages (page 560). Tire

pressure sensors are mounted intoeach tire on your trailer. Thesensors send a message to yourvehicle indicating the currenttrailer tire pressure andtemperature.
If the trailer tire pressuremonitoring system detects that atire is low, a warning messageappears in the information display.The trailer tire information screenin the information displayhighlights the tire with a lowpressure.
If the trailer tire pressuremonitoring system detects that atire temperature is over temp, awarning message appears in theInformation display. The trailer tireinformation screen in theinformation display highlights thetire with a high temperature.
The main function of the trailer tirepressure monitoring system is towarn you when your trailer tiresneed air or if the tires areexperiencing high temperatures.It can also warn you in the eventthe system is no longer capableof functioning as intended. SeeTire Pressure MonitoringSystem – InformationMessages (page 560).
When a Temporary Spare orNew Tire is Installed

To restore the full function of thetrailer tire pressure monitoringsystem:
•Have the damaged wheel andtire assembly repaired andremounted to your trailer.
•Install the trailer tire pressuremonitoring sensor into the newwheel and tire assembly.
•Perform the trailer tire pressuremonitoring system resetprocedure.
Trailer Tire PressureMonitoring System ResetProcedure
Note:You need to perform the tirepressure monitoring system resetprocedure after each tire rotation,or when a new trailer tire pressuresensor is installed into a trailer tire.

If you get a flat tire when driving, do notapply the brake heavily. Instead, graduallydecrease your speed, hold the steeringwheel firmly and slowly move to a safeplace on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorizeddealer to prevent damage to the systemsensors. See Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem Precautions (page 555).Replacethe spare tire with a road tire as soon aspossible. When repairing or replacing theflat tire, have the authorized dealer inspectthe system sensor for damage.
Note:Only use tire sealants in roadsideemergencies as they may damage the tirepressure monitoring system sensor.

Dissimilar Spare Wheel and TireAssembly Information
WARNING: Failure to follow theseguidelines could result in an increasedrisk of loss of vehicle control, injury ordeath.
If you have a dissimilar spare wheel andtire, the intent of the spare wheel is fortemporary use only. This means that if youneed to use it, replace it as soon aspossible with a road wheel and tireassembly that is the same size and typeas the road tires and wheels originallyprovided by Ford.
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 andwheels.
Full-size dissimilar spare
When driving with the full-size dissimilarspare wheel and tire assembly, do not:
•Exceed 70 mph (113 km/h).
•Use more than one dissimilar sparewheel and tire assembly at a time.
•Use snow chains on the end of thevehicle with the dissimilar spare wheeland tire assembly.
•Engage any four-wheel drive mode.See Four-Wheel Drive Limitations(page 275).
•Engage any four-wheel drive.
Using a full-size dissimilar spare wheel andtire assembly can compromise theeffectiveness of the following:
•Handling, stability and brakingperformance.
•Comfort and noise.
•Ground clearance and parking at curbs.
•Winter weather driving capability.
•Wet weather driving capability.
•Four-wheel drive capability.
When driving with the full-size dissimilarspare wheel and tire assembly, giveadditional caution to:
•Towing a trailer.
•Driving vehicles that come 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.
