wheel size FORD KUGA 2010 1.G Owners Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
Use only approved wheel and tyre
sizes. Using other sizes could
damage the vehicle and will make
the National Type Approval invalid. If you change the diameter of the
tyres from that fitted at the factory,
the speedometer may not display
the correct speed. Take the vehicle to
your dealer to have the engine
management system reprogrammed. A decal with tyre pressure data is located
in the driver’s door opening at the B-pillar.
Check and set the tyre pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive the vehicle and when
the tyres are cold.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
Locking wheel nuts
You can obtain a replacement locking
wheel nut key and replacement locking
wheel nuts from your dealer using the
reference number certificate.
Vehicles with a temporary
spare wheel
WARNINGS
If the spare wheel differs from the
other fitted wheels, these rules must
be followed:
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
Drive the shortest possible
distances.
Do not fit more than one spare
wheel on your vehicle at any one
time. WARNINGS
Do not use snow chains on this type
of wheel.
Do not drive through an automatic
car wash.
Do not carry out any tyre repairs on
a temporary spare wheel.
CAUTION
The ground clearance of your vehicle
will be reduced. Take care when
parking next to a kerb.
Note:Your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.
Vehicle jack WARNINGS
The vehicle jack supplied with your
vehicle should only be used when
changing a wheel in emergency
situations. Before using the vehicle jack, check
that it is not damaged or deformed
and that the thread is lubricated and
free from foreign matter. Never place anything between the
jack and the ground, or the jack and
the vehicle.
Note:
Vehicles with a tyre repair kit or run
flat tyres are not equipped with a vehicle jack or a wheel brace.
It is recommended to use a workshop
type hydraulic jack for changing between
summer and winter tyres.
Note:
Use a jack with a minimum lifting
capacity of 1.5 tonnes and a lifting plate with a minimum diameter of 80 millimetres(3.1 inches).

7. Install the wheel trim using the ball of
your hand. WARNING
Have the wheel nuts checked for
tightness and the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.

or construction to the road wheels, have this replaced as soon as possible.
TYRE REPAIR KIT
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare
tyre, but does include an emergency tyre
repair kit that can be used to repair one
flat tyre.
The tyre repair kit is located in the
underfloor storage compartment. See
Storage compartments (page 98).
General information WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent
of tyre damage, some tyres can
only be partially sealed or not sealed
at all. Loss of tyre pressure can affect
vehicle handling, leading to loss of vehicle
control. Do not use the tyre repair kit if the
tyre has already been damaged as
a result of being driven under
inflated. Do not use the tyre repair kit on run
flat tyres.
Do not try to seal damage other
than that located within the visible
tread of the tyre.
Do not try to seal damage to the
tyre’s sidewall. The tyre repair kit seals most tyre
punctures [with a diameter of up to six
millimetres (1/4 inch)] to temporarily
restore mobility.
Observe the following rules when using
the kit:
•
Drive with caution and avoid
making sudden steering or
driving manoeuvres, especially if
the vehicle is heavily loaded or you are
towing a trailer.
• The kit will provide you with an
emergency temporary repair, enabling
you to continue your journey to the
next vehicle or tyre dealer, or to drive
a maximum distance of
200 kilometres (125 miles).
• Do not exceed a
maximum speed
of 80 km/h (50 mph).
• Keep the kit out of the reach of
children.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between –30°C (-22°F)
and +70°C (+158°F).
Using the tyre repair kit WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.
Never leave the tyre repair kit
unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor
operating for more than 10 minutes.
Note:
Use the tyre repair kit only for the
vehicle with which it was supplied.
