FORD POLICE INTERCEPTOR SEDAN 2014 1.G Owners Manual

When inflating your tires
When putting air into your tires (such as at a gas station or in your
garage), the tire pressure monitoring system may not respond
immediately to the air added to your tires.
It may take up to two minutes of driving over 20 mph (32 km/h) for the
light to turn off after you have filled your tires to the recommended
inflation pressure.
How temperature affects your tire pressure
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors tire pressure in each
pneumatic tire. While driving in a normal manner, a typical passenger
tire inflation pressure may increase approximately 2 to 4 psi (14 to
28 kPa) from a cold start situation. If the vehicle is stationary overnight
with the outside temperature significantly lower than the daytime
temperature, the tire pressure may decrease approximately 3 psi
(21 kPa) for a drop of 30°F (17°C) in ambient temperature. This lower
pressure value may be detected by the system as being significantly
lower than the recommended inflation pressure and activate the system
warning light for low tire pressure. If the low tire pressure warning light
is on, visually check each tire to verify that no tire is flat. If one or more
tires are flat, repair as necessary. Check air pressure in the road tires.
If any tire is under-inflated, carefully drive the vehicle to the nearest
location where air can be added to the tires. Inflate all the tires to the
recommended inflation pressure.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
WARNING:The use of tire sealants may damage your tire
pressure monitoring system and should not be used. However, if
you must use a sealant, the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and
valve stem on the wheel must be replaced by an authorized Ford
dealer.
WARNING:SeeTire Pressure Monitoring Systemin this
chapter for important information. If the tire pressure monitor
sensor becomes damaged, it will no longer function.
Note:The tire pressure monitoring system indicator light will illuminate
when the spare tire is in use until the spare’s tire pressure monitoring
system sensor is trained.

If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized dealer in order to prevent damage
to the system sensors. SeeTire Pressure Monitoring Systemearlier in
the chapter. During repairing or replacing of the flat tire, have the
authorized dealer inspect the system sensor for damage.
Tire Change Procedure
WARNING:When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent your vehicle from moving or
slipping off the jack, even if the transmission is in park(P).
WARNING:To help prevent your vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure to place the transmission in park(P),set
the parking brake and block (in both directions) the wheel that is
diagonally opposite (other side and end of your vehicle) to the tire
being changed.
WARNING:Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported
only by a jack. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone
else could be seriously injured.
WARNING:Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of your
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.
WARNING:Always use the jack provided as original equipment
with your vehicle. If using a jack other than the one provided as
original equipment with your vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or
modifications.

WARNING:To reduce the risk of possible serious injury or
death, do not remove the full size spare tire from the factory
secured location. This location is necessary to achieve police-rated
75 mph rear impact crash-test performance. Removal increases the risk
of fuel leak in high-speed rear impacts.
Note:Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.
Note:For sedan, only the original equipment tire or 245/55R18 tire with
outer diameter less than 725 millimeters will stow in the tire tub.
Utility
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard
flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park(P)and turn the engine off.
3. Lift the floor cargo cover, then
remove the wing nut that secures
the spare tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
4. Lift and remove the spare tire
from the spare tire well.
5. Remove the wing bolt that
secures the jack kit by turning it
counterclockwise.
6. Remove the jack kit which
includes the jack (D), wheel wrench
(lug wrench) (C), wheel chock (E),

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
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 your vehicle is in
motion, resulting in loss of control.
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 100 miles
(160 kilometers), and again at 500 miles (800 kilometers) of new vehicle
operation and after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation,
changing a flat tire, wheel removal).
