tire size LINCOLN AVIATOR 2005 Quick Reference Guide

Essential Information
FUEL TANK CAPACITY/FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS:Your Aviator’s fuel tank can accommodate 22.5
gallons of fuel. Your vehicle is designed to use “Premium” unleaded fuel with an (R+M)/2 octane
rating of 91 or higher for optimum performance. The use of fuel with lower octane ratings may
degrade performance.
FUSES:If electrical components in your vehicle stop working, a fuse may have blown. (You’ll notice a
broken wire within the fuse.) For information on changing fuses, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
TIRE PRESSURE: Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according to the
recommended specifications found on the Tire Pressure Label located on the driver door jamb. Please
check your tire pressure during routine maintenance and seasonal changes. If the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System light stays illuminated after starting, immediately check your tire pressure.
Warning : Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, possibly
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
CHANGING THE TIRES: Your spare tire is not equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
sensor. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System indicator light will illuminate when the spare is in
use. Replace the spare with the road tire as soon as possible. If your vehicle is equipped with AWD,
remember that a spare tire of a different size must not be used. It can make your vehicle difficult
to control and can result in damage to driveline components. 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.
