Slide the cable through the slot to
release the spare wheel bracket from
the winch. 4. Remove the retaining nut to release
the spare wheel bracket. Vehicle Jack WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is off
the ground, the transmission alone
will not prevent the vehicle from
moving or slipping off the jack. To help prevent the 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
the vehicle) to the tire being changed. 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. Do not attempt to change a tire on
the side of the 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. 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. Disable the power running boards
before jacking, lifting, or placing any
object under the vehicle. Never place
your hand between the power running
board and the vehicle as extended power
running boards will retract when the doors
are closed. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury. Note:
Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Note: Vehicles with a Temporary Mobility
Kit do not have a vehicle jack or a lug
wrench.

Vehicle Jack Storage
The vehicle jack is under the passenger
seat. The jack handle and lug wrench are
located in a storage compartment in the
front right-hand side stepwell.
Note:
The vehicle jack is in the load space
area on vehicles with rear climate control. 1. Assemble the jack handle.
2.
Insert the jack handle onto the release
valve and rotate clockwise until you
feel a strong resistance.
3. Insert the jack handle into the pump and use a pumping action to raise your
vehicle.
4. Insert the jack handle into the release valve and rotate counterclockwise to
lower your vehicle.
Front Jacking Points WARNING
You must use the specified jacking
points.
Note:
If your vehicle has rear air
conditioning make sure the vehicle jack does
not come in contact with the air conditioning
lines. Position the head of the vehicle jack under
the protrusions at the rear of front
sub-frame.
Rear Jacking Points

Position the head of the vehicle jack under
the rear axle.
Removing a Road Wheel
WARNINGS
Park your vehicle so that you do not
obstruct the flow of traffic or place
yourself in any danger and set up a
warning triangle. Switch the ignition off and apply the
parking brake.
If your vehicle has a manual
transmission, shift into first or reverse
gear. If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, shift into park (P). Make sure all passengers are out of
your vehicle.
Make sure that your vehicle is on firm
and level ground with the front
wheels pointing straight ahead. WARNINGS
Chock the diagonally opposite wheel
to the punctured tire with an
appropriate block or wheel chock. A
wheel chock may be located in the B-pillar
or in a storage compartment in the front
right-hand side stepwell. Make sure that the arrows on
directional tires point in the direction
of rotation when your vehicle is
moving forward. If you have to fit a spare
tire with the arrows pointing in the opposite
direction have the tire refitted as soon as
possible. 1. Insert the flat end of the lug wrench
between the wheel rim and the wheel
trim and carefully remove the wheel
trim.
2. Use the locking lug nut key to loosen the locking lug nut.
3. Loosen the remaining lug nuts, but do not remove them.
4. Raise your vehicle until the tire is clear of the ground.
5. Remove the lug nuts and the road wheel.
Note: Do not lay alloy road wheels face
down on the ground.
Installing a Road Wheel WARNINGS
Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other wheel and tire sizes
could damage your vehicle and will
make the National Type Approval invalid. Make sure there is no lubrication
(grease or oil) on the threads or the
surface between the wheel lugs and
nuts. This can cause the lug nuts to loosen
while driving.
262 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2014 Wheels and TiresE171406

WARNINGS
Make sure the wheel and hub
contact surfaces are free from
foreign material.
Never use wheels or lug nuts
different than the original equipment
as this could damage the wheel or
mounting system. This damage could
allow the wheels to come off when your
vehicle is moving. 1. Install the wheel.
2. Install all of the lug nuts and partially
tighten them in the sequence shown.
3. Lower your vehicle and remove the vehicle jack. 4. Fully tighten all of the lug nuts in the
sequence shown. See Technical
Specifications (page 264).
5. Install the wheel trim.
Note: Make sure that the cones on the lug
nuts are against the wheel.
Note: Alloy wheel lug nuts are suitable for
use on a steel spare wheel.
Note: If the spare wheel is not the same
type and size as your vehicle road wheel
replace it as soon as possible.
Note: Check the lug nuts for correct
tightness and check the tire pressure as
soon as possible. See Technical
Specifications (page 264).
Stowing the Wheel and Vehicle
Jack
Note: Do not raise the spare wheel bracket
without a wheel attached. Damage can
occur to the winch mechanism if the spare
wheel bracket is lowered without a wheel
attached.
1. Attach the spare wheel bracket to the wheel using the retaining nut.
2. Slide the cable through the slot and attach the spare wheel bracket to the
winch.
3. Rotate the cable through 90 degrees and lower the cable end cover.
4. Insert the flat end of the lug wrench into the socket. Turn it clockwise until
you feel a strong resistance. Make sure
the wheel is secure.
5. Stow the vehicle jack, jack handle and lug wrench in their correct locations
and secure them with the straps.

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. Ib-ft (Nm)
