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 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
43°F
(6°C) temperature drop can
cause a corresponding drop of
1 psi (6 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, (for
example, driven more than
1 mi
(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.
2. Remove the cap from the valve
on one tire, then firmly press
the tire gauge onto the valve
and measure the pressure.
3. Add enough air to reach the
recommended air pressure.
Note: If you overfill the tire, release
air by pressing on the metal stem
in the center of the valve. Then
recheck the pressure with your tire
gauge.
4. Replace the valve cap.
5. Repeat this procedure for each
tire, including the spare.

Changing Tires With a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Note:
Each road tire is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor located inside the wheel
and tire assembly cavity. The pressure
sensor is attached to the valve stem. The
pressure sensor is covered by the tire and is
not visible unless the tire is removed. Take
care when changing the tire to avoid
damaging the sensor You should always have your tires serviced
by an authorized dealer.
Check the tire pressure periodically (at
least monthly) using an accurate tire
gauge. See Inflating Your Tires in this
chapter.
Understanding Your Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
The tire pressure monitoring system
measures pressure in your road tires and
sends the tire pressure readings to your
vehicle. You can view the tire pressure
readings through the information display.
See
General Information (page 74). The
low tire pressure warning light turns on if
the tire pressure is significantly low. Once
the light is illuminated, your tires are
under-inflated and need to be inflated to
the manufacturer ’s recommended tire
pressure. Even if the light turns on and a
short time later turns off, your tire pressure
still needs to be checked.
When You Believe Your System is Not
Operating Properly
The main function of the tire pressure
monitoring system is to warn you when
your tires need air. It can also warn you in
the event the system is no longer capable
of functioning as intended. See the
following chart for information concerning
your tire pressure monitoring system:

CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
Important Information for Lifting
or Jacking
A vehicle jack is not included with your
vehicle. If you are on the road and need to
change a wheel, it is recommended that
you contact the Ford GT Concierge to
obtain roadside assistance. See Special
Notices (page 11). Front lift points

Middle lift points
B
Rear lift points
C
To avoid damage to your vehicle, use a low
profile hydraulic jack when removing a road
wheel. Only place the jack on one of the
alloy lifting posts when lifting your vehicle.
Do not lift your vehicle on the carbon fiber
panels.
Note: It is recommended that an interface
be used between the alloy lifting point and
the vehicle jack (for example, a hockey puck
or dense rubber pad). DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED
Tire Pressure - Speeds Greater
Than
165 mph (265 km/h) WARNING:
Always re-inflate
tires to recommended tire pressures
before the vehicle is operated on-road.
The recommended pressure is located
on the tire label or safety certification
label, located on the B-pillar, inside the
driver's door.
Note: When driving over
165 mph
(265 km/h), be sure to check and adjust
your tire pressures accordingly.
Note: If you are not sure about the proper
tire inflation pressures, contact an
authorized dealer or service center. Your tires may require additional inflation
pressure for operation at speeds greater
than
165 mph (265 km/h). If this label is
present on your vehicle, you must adjust
the tire pressure accordingly.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING: When you install a wheel, 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 to secure any
fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub 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 your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of vehicle control, personal injury or
death. Ib-ft (Nm)

* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Ford
recommended replacement fasteners.
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any
wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel removal). Wheel pilot bore
A
Inspect the wheel pilot bore and
mounting surface prior to installation.
Remove any visible corrosion or loose
particles. Note:
The wheel stud length differs
depending on the wheels equipped. The
hub on carbon fiber wheels require longer
wheel studs due to a thicker hub. If
changing wheel types between alloy and
carbon fiber, in either direction, you must
also change the wheel studs to match the
length required for that wheel type. Also
use the longer studs for the carbon fiber
wheels and then use open lug nuts if
putting alloy wheels back on the car.
