wheel size FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC 2017 3.G User Guide

Rotating your tires at the
recommended interval (as
indicated in the Scheduled
Maintenance chapter) will help
your tires wear more evenly,
providing better tire performance
and longer tire life.
Front-wheel drive vehicles (front
tires on the left side of the
diagram).
Sometimes irregular tire wear can
be corrected by rotating the tires.
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNING
Your vehicle is not approved for use
with snow chains. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNING
The tire pressure monitoring system
is not a substitute for manually
checking tire pressures. You should
periodically check tire pressures using a
pressure gauge. Failure to correctly
maintain tire pressures could increase the
risk of tire failure, loss of control, vehicle
rollover and personal injury. Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated
to the inflation pressure recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle ’s handling and stopping ability.

If you need to use a jack or hoist to service
your vehicle, make sure the lift pads do not
contact the high voltage battery or support
brace.
The high voltage battery and support brace
are very close to the rear lifting points.
These points are identifiable by a triangle
icon. Position the lift pads of the jack or
hoist at the specified lifting points. Lifting
your vehicle with the lift pads of the jack
or hoist on the high voltage battery or the
brace will damage the battery.
LUG NUTS
WARNING
When a wheel is installed, always
remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign
materials present 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
fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub
are secured so they do not interfere with
the mounting surfaces of the wheel.
Installing wheels without correct
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel
mounting surfaces can cause the wheel
nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off
while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in
loss of control. Retighten the lug nuts to the specified
torque within 100 mi (160 km) after any
wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation,
changing a flat tire, wheel removal). Wheel lug nut
