Tyre Care; Using Winter Tyres - Ford Mondeo Owner's Manual

6. Once you have inflated the tyre to its
correct tyre pressure, move the
compressor switch H to position 0,
remove the power plug G from the
socket, unscrew the hose C, fasten the
valve cap and replace the protective
cap A.
7. Leave the sealant bottle K in the bottle
holder E and store the kit away safely
in its original location.
8. Drive to the nearest tyre specialist to
get the damaged tyre replaced. Before
the tyre is removed from the rim, inform
your tyre dealer that the tyre contains
sealant. Renew the kit as soon as
possible after it has been used once.
Note: Remember that emergency roadside
tyre repair kits only provide temporary
mobility. Regulations concerning tyre repair
after usage of tyre repair kit may differ from
country to country. You should consult a
tyre specialist for advice.
WARNING
Before driving, make sure the tyre is
adjusted to the recommended
inflation pressure. See Technical
Specifications (page 239). Monitor the
tyre pressure until the sealed tyre is
replaced.
Empty sealant bottles can be disposed of
together with normal household waste.
Return remains of sealant to your dealer
or dispose of it in compliance with local
waste disposal regulations.

TYRE CARE

E70415
To make sure the front and rear tyres of
your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,
we recommend that you swap the tyres
from front to rear and vice versa at regular
intervals of between 5000 and 10000
kilometres (3000 and 6000 miles).
If you have to mount a kerb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the kerb.
Examine the tyres regularly for cuts, foreign
objects and uneven wear of the tread.
Uneven wear could mean that the wheel
alignment is outside specification.
Check the tyre pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.

USING WINTER TYRES

If winter tyres are used, make sure that the
tyre pressures are correct. See Technical
Specifications (page 239).

CAUTION

when you are parking.
CAUTION
Make sure that you use the correct
wheel nuts for the type of wheel the
winter tyres are fitted to.
