Wheels And Tires; General Information; Temporary Mobility Kit - Ford MONDEO Owner's Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

CAUTIONS
Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other sizes could damage
the vehicle and will make the National
Type Approval invalid.
If you change the diameter of the tires
from that fitted at the factory, the
speedometer may not display the
correct speed. Take the vehicle to your
dealer to have the engine management
system reprogrammed.
If you intend to change the size of the
wheels from that fitted at the factory,
check the suitability with your dealer.
Note: Check your tire pressures regularly to
optimize fuel economy.
A decal with tire pressure data is located
in the driver s door opening at the B-pillar.
Check and set the tire pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive the vehicle and when the
tires are cold.

TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT

Your vehicle may not have a spare tire.
Therefore you will have an emergency kit
which will only repair one flat tire.
The kit is located in the spare wheel well.
General information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent of
tire damage, some tires can only be
partially sealed or not sealed at all.
Loss of tire pressure can affect vehicle
handling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the kit on a previously
damaged tire, for example when it
has been driven under inflated.
