    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 four road tires
    and sends the tire pressure readings to
    your vehicle.
    The low tire pressure warning light will turn
    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 Your Temporary Spare Tire is
    Installed
    When one of your road tires needs to be
    replaced with the temporary spare, the
    system will continue to identify an issue to
    remind you that the damaged road wheel
    and tire assembly needs to be repaired and
    put back on your vehicle.
    To restore the full function of the tire
    pressure monitoring system, have the
    damaged road wheel and tire assembly
    repaired and remounted on your vehicle.

    							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: Customer action required

    							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 about 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 about 3 psi (21
    kPa) for a drop of 30°F (17°C) in ambient
    temperature. This lower pressure value
    may be detected by the tire pressure
    monitoring 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 the 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.
    Tire Pressure Monitoring System Reset
    Procedure WARNING
    To determine the required
    pressure(s) for your vehicle, see the
    Safety Compliance Certification
    Label (on the door hinge pillar, door-latch
    post or the door edge that meets the
    door-latch post, next to the driver seat) or
    the Tire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge
    of the driver door. Note:
    You need to perform the tire pressure
    monitoring system reset procedure after
    each tire rotation on vehicles that require
    different recommended tire pressures in the
    front tires as compared to the rear tires.
    Overview
    To provide the vehicle's load carrying
    capability, some vehicles require different
    recommended tire pressures in the front
    tires as compared to the rear tires. The tire
    pressure monitoring system equipped on
    these vehicles is designed to illuminate the
    low tire pressure warning light at two
    different pressures; one for the front tires
    and one for the rear tires.
    Since tires need to be rotated to provide
    consistent performance and maximum tire
    life, the tire pressure monitoring system
    needs to know when the tires are rotated
    to determine which set of tires are on the
    front and which are on the rear. With this
    information, the system can detect and
    properly warn of low tire pressures.
    System reset tips:
    370
    F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Wheels and Tires  
    						
    							•
    To reduce the chances of interference
    from another vehicle, perform the
    system reset procedure at least three
    feet (one meter) away from another
    Ford Motor Company vehicle
    undergoing the system reset procedure
    at the same time.
    • Do not wait more than two minutes
    between resetting each tire sensor or
    the system will time-out and the entire
    procedure will have to be repeated on
    all four wheels.
    • A double horn will sound indicating the
    need to repeat the procedure.
    Performing the System Reset Procedure
    Read the entire procedure before
    attempting.
    1. Drive the vehicle above 20 mph (32 km/h) for at least two minutes, then
    park in a safe location where you can
    easily get to all four tires and have
    access to an air pump.
    2. Place the ignition in the off position and
    keep the key in the ignition.
    3. Cycle the ignition to the on position with the engine off.
    4. Turn the hazard flashers on then off three times. You must accomplish this
    within 10 seconds. If the reset mode
    has been entered successfully, the horn
    will sound once, the system indicator
    will flash and a message is shown in
    the information display. If this does not
    occur, please try again starting at Step
    2. If after repeated attempts to enter
    the reset mode, the horn does not
    sound, the system indicator does not
    flash and no message is shown in the
    information display, seek service from
    your authorized dealer. 5. Train the tire pressure monitoring
    system sensors in the tires using the
    following system reset sequence
    starting with the left front tire in the
    following clockwise order: Left front
    (driver's side front tire), Right front
    (passenger's side front tire), Right rear
    (passenger's side rear tire), Left rear
    (driver's side rear tire).
    6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the left front tire. Decrease the
    air pressure until the horn sounds.
    Note: The single horn chirp confirms that
    the sensor identification code has been
    learned by the module for this position. If a
    double horn is heard, the reset procedure
    was unsuccessful, and you must repeat it.
    7. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the right front tire. Decrease
    the air pressure until the horn sounds.
    8. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the right rear tire. Decrease the
    air pressure until the horn sounds.
    9. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem on the left rear tire. Decrease the
    air pressure until the horn sounds.
    Training is complete after the horn
    sounds for the last tire trained (driver's
    side rear tire), the system indicator
    stops flashing, and a message is shown
    in the information display.
    10. Turn the ignition off. If two short horn
    beeps are heard, the reset procedure
    was unsuccessful and you must
    repeat it. If after repeating the
    procedure and two short beeps are
    heard when the ignition is turned to
    off, seek assistance from your
    authorized dealer.

    or the edge of the driver's door.
    CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL WARNINGS
    Do not use tire sealants as they may
    damage the tire pressure monitoring
    system.
    If the tire pressure monitor sensor
    becomes damaged it may not
    function.
    Note:
    The tire pressure monitoring system
    indicator light will illuminate when the spare
    tire is in use. To restore the full function of
    the monitoring system, all road wheels
    equipped with tire pressure monitoring
    sensors must be mounted on this vehicle.
    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  See Tire Pressure
    Monitoring System (page 367).  Replace
    the spare tire with a road tire as soon as
    possible. During repairing or replacing of
    the flat tire, have the authorized dealer
    inspect the system sensor for damage. Dissimilar Spare Wheel and Tire
    Assembly Information WARNING
    Failure to follow these guidelines
    could result in an increased risk of
    loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
    If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and
    tire, then it is intended for temporary use
    only. This means that if you need to use it,
    you should replace it as soon as possible
    with a road wheel and tire assembly that
    is the same size and type as the road tires
    and wheels that were originally provided
    by Ford. If the dissimilar spare tire or wheel
    is damaged, it should be replaced rather
    than repaired.
    A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
    is defined as a spare wheel and tire
    assembly that is different in brand, size or
    appearance from the road tires and wheels
    and can be one of three types:
    1.
    T-type mini-spare:
     This spare tire
    begins with the letter T for tire size and
    may have Temporary Use Only molded in
    the sidewall.
    2. Full-size dissimilar spare with label
    on wheel:
     This spare tire has a label on
    the wheel that states: THIS WHEEL AND
    TIRE ASSEMBLY FOR TEMPORARY USE
    ONLY

    Towing a trailer.
    • Driving vehicles equipped with a
    camper body.
    • Driving vehicles with a load on the
    cargo rack.
    Drive cautiously when using a full-size
    dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
    and seek service as soon as possible.
    Tire Change Procedure 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, even if the
    transmission is in park (P). To help prevent your vehicle from
    moving when changing a wheel, shift
    the transmission into park (P), set
    the parking brake and use an appropriate
    block or wheel chock to secure the wheel
    diagonally opposite to the wheel being
    changed. For example, when changing the
    front left wheel, place an appropriate block
    or wheel chock on the right rear wheel. Do not work on your vehicle when
    the jack is the only support. 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.

    							WARNINGS
    Always use the jack provided as
    original equipment with your vehicle.
    If using a jack other than the one
    provided, make sure the jack capacity is
    adequate for the vehicle weight, including
    any vehicle cargo or modifications. If you
    are unsure if the jack capacity is adequate,
    contact the authorized dealer. Switch off the running boards before
    jacking or placing any object under
    your vehicle. Never place your hand
    between the extended running board and
    your vehicle. A moving running board may
    cause injury. Note:
    Only use the spare tire carrier to stow
    the tire and wheel combination provided
    with your vehicle. Other tire and wheel
    combinations can cause the tire carrier to
    fail.
    Note: Do not use impact tools or power
    tools operating at over 200 RPM on the
    spare tire carrier, this may cause a winch
    malfunction and prevent a secure fit.
    Override the winch at least three times
    (there will be an audible click each time) to
    make sure the wheel and tire have been
    installed securely.
    Note: Passengers should not remain in the
    vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
    Park on a level surface, activate the hazard
    flashers and set the parking brake. Then,
    place the transmission in park (P) and turn
    the engine off.
    Remove the Vehicle Jack and Tool Bag
    The vehicle jack and tool bag are located
    on the rear passenger side of your vehicle. 1. Remove the foam top.
