Roadside Emergencies

It is acceptable to have your front-wheeldrive vehicle towed from the front if usingproper wheel lift equipment to raise thefront wheels off the ground. When towingin this manner, the rear wheels can remainon the ground.
Front-wheel drive vehicles must have thefront wheels placed on a tow dolly whentowing your vehicle from the rear usingwheel lift equipment. This preventsdamage to the transmission.
Towing an all-wheel or four-wheel drivevehicle requires that all wheels be off theground, such as using a wheel lift anddollies or flatbed equipment. This preventsdamage to the transmission, all-wheel orfour-wheel drive system and vehicle.
TOWING POINTS
Due to local market requirements in somecountries, some vehicles may be equippedwith a recovery hook.
Recovery Hook Location
If your vehicle is equipped with a screw-inrecovery hook, it is located with the sparetire kit.
Installing the Recovery Hook
There is an installation point for therecovery hook located behind the fascia.
Note:The screw-in recovery hook has aleft-hand thread. Turn it counterclockwiseto install it. Make sure that the recovery hookis fully tightened.
Remove the recovery hook cover by pryingit off at the notch with a screwdriver orsimilar object.
Note:Use a soft cloth to cover the pryingtool. This helps prevent scratch marks tothe vehicle's paint.

Second Stage: Checking TirePressure
WARNINGS
If you are proceeding from the FirstStage: Re-inflating the Tire withSealing Compound and Air sectionand have injected sealant in the tire andthe pressure is below 20 psi (1.4 bar),continue to the next step.
The power plug may get hot after useand should be handled carefullywhile unplugging.
Check the air pressure of your tires asfollows:
1. Remove the valve cap from the tirevalve.
2. Firmly screw the air compressor hoseonto the valve stem by turningclockwise.
3.Push and turn the dial clockwise to theair position.
4.If required, turn on the compressor andadjust the tire to the recommendedinflation pressure shown on the tirelabel located on the driver's door ordoor jamb area. The tire pressureshould be checked with thecompressor turned OFF in order to getan accurate pressure reading.
5. Unplug the hoses, re-install the valvecap on the tire and return the kit to thestowage area.
What to do after the Tire has beenSealed
After using the kit to seal your tire, you willneed to replace the sealant canister.Sealant canisters and spare parts can beobtained at an authorized Ford dealer.Empty sealant canisters may be disposedof at home. However, canisters stillcontaining liquid sealant should bedisposed of by your local authorized Forddealer or tire dealer, or in accordance withlocal waste disposal regulation.
Note:After the sealing compound has beenused, the maximum vehicle speed is 50 mph(80 km/h) and the maximum drivingdistance is 120 mi (200 km). The sealed tireshould be inspected immediately.
You can check the tire pressure any timewithin the 120 mi (200 km) by performingthe steps listed previously in the Secondstage: Checking Tire Pressure procedure.

T type tires have some additionalinformation beyond those of Ptype tires; these differences aredescribed below:
A.T: Indicates a type of tire,designated by the Tire and RimAssociation, that is intended fortemporary service on cars,sport-utility vehicles, minivans andlight trucks.
B.145: Indicates the nominalwidth of the tire in millimetersfrom sidewall edge to sidewalledge. In general, the larger thenumber, the wider the tire.
C.80: Indicates the aspect ratiowhich gives the tire's ratio ofheight to width. Numbers of 70 orlower indicate a short sidewall.
D.D: Indicates a diagonal type tire.
R: Indicates a radial type tire.
E.16: Indicates the wheel or rimdiameter in inches. If you changeyour wheel size, you will have topurchase new tires to match thenew wheel diameter.
Location of the Tire Label
You will find a Tire Labelcontaining tire inflation pressureby tire size and other importantinformation located on the B-Pillaror the edge of the driver’s door.
Inflating Your Tires
Safe operation of your vehiclerequires that your tires areproperly inflated. Remember thata tire can lose up to half of its airpressure without appearing flat.
Every day before you drive, checkyour tires. If one looks lower thanthe others, use a tire gauge tocheck pressure of all tires andadjust if required.
At least once a month and beforelong trips, inspect each tire andcheck the tire pressure with a tiregauge (including spare, ifequipped). Inflate all tires to theinflation pressure recommendedby Ford Motor Company.

When weather temperaturechanges occur, tire inflationpressures also change. A 10°F(6°C) temperature drop cancause a corresponding drop of 1psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure.Check your tire pressuresfrequently and adjust them to theproper pressure which can befound on the Safety ComplianceCertification Label or Tire Label.
To check the pressure in yourtire(s):
1. Make sure the tires are cool,meaning they are not hot fromdriving even a mile.
Note:If you are checking tirepressure when the tire is hot, (forexample, driven more than 1 mile[1.6 kilometers]), never bleed orreduce air pressure. The tires arehot from driving and it is normal forpressures to increase aboverecommended cold pressures. Ahot tire at or below recommendedcold inflation pressure could besignificantly under-inflated.
Note:If you have to drive adistance to get air for your tire(s),check and record the tire pressurefirst and add the appropriate airpressure when you get to thepump. It is normal for tires to heatup and the air pressure inside to goup as you drive.
2.Remove the cap from the valveon one tire, then firmly pressthe tire gauge onto the valve
and measure the pressure.
3.Add enough air to reach therecommended air pressure.
Note:If you overfill the tire, releaseair by pressing on the metal stemin the center of the valve. Thenrecheck the pressure with your tiregauge.
4.Replace the valve cap.
5.Repeat this procedure for eachtire, including the spare.
Note:Some spare tires operate ata higher inflation pressure than theother tires. For T type mini-sparetires, see the Dissimilar spare wheeland tire assembly information fora description. Store and maintainat 60 psi (4.15 bar). For full-sizeand dissimilar spare tires, see theDissimilar spare wheel and tireassembly information for adescription. Store and maintain atthe higher of the front and rearinflation pressure as shown on theTire Label.
6.Visually inspect the tires tomake sure there are no nails orother objects embedded thatcould poke a hole in the tireand cause an air leak.
7. Check the sidewalls to makesure there are no gouges, cutsor bulges.
