Changing A Road Wheel; Changing A Flat Tire - Ford SUPER DUTY 2024 Owner's Manual

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE

If you get a flat tire when 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 to prevent damage to the system
sensors. See Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Precautions (page 501). Replace
the spare tire with a road tire as soon as
possible. During repairing or replacing the
flat tire, have the authorized dealer inspect
the system sensor for damage.
Note: Only use tire sealants in roadside
emergencies as they may damage the tire
pressure monitoring system sensor.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light illuminates when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full functionality
of the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on this vehicle.
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.
