When Your Temporary Spare Tire Is Installed; When You Believe Your System Is Not Operating Properly - Ford 2011 Edge Owner's Manual

Tires, Wheels and Loading

When your temporary spare tire is installed

When one of your road tires needs to be replaced with the temporary
spare, the TPMS system will continue to identify an issue to remind you
that the damaged road wheel/tire needs to be repaired and put back on
your vehicle.
To restore the full functionality of the tire pressure monitoring system,
have the damaged road wheel/tire repaired and remounted on your
vehicle. For additional information, refer to Changing tires with TPMS
in this section.

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. Please refer to the
following chart for information concerning your tire pressure monitoring
system:

Customer action required
1. Check your tire pressure to ensure tires
are properly inflated; refer to Inflating your
tires in this chapter.
2. After inflating your tires to the manufac-
turer's recommended inflation pressure as
shown on the Tire Label (located on the
edge of driver's door or the B-Pillar), the ve-
hicle must be driven for at least two minutes
over 20 mph (32 km/h) before the light will
turn off.
Your temporary spare tire is in use. Repair
the damaged road wheel/tire and reinstall it
on the vehicle to restore system functional-
ity. For a description on how the system
functions, refer to When your temporary
spare tire is installed in this section.
If your tires are properly inflated and your
spare tire is not in use and the light remains
on, contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
