Changing A Tire - Ford Ranger Owner's Manual

NOTE: Vehicles that are not equipped with the power group,
4WABS (4-Wheel Anti-lock Brakes System), or four
wheel drive have alternate locations for some relays.
The 4x4 shift relay module is located below the GEM
(Generic Electronic Module). The power window relay
or interior lamps relay is below the glove box. The
driver's door unlock relay or battery saver relay is
above the RABS (Rear Anti-lock Brakes System)
module.

Changing a Tire

If you get a flat tire while you are driving, do not apply the
brake heavily. Instead, gradually decrease the speed. Hold the
steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the
side of the road. Park on a level spot, turn off the ignition, set
the parking brake, and turn on the hazard flashers.
The Conventional Spare Tire
If you have the conventional spare tire, you can use it as a
spare or as a regular tire. This spare tire is identical to the other
tires that come with your vehicle, although the wheel may not
match.
To avoid injury, never run the engine with one wheel off
the ground, such as when changing a tire.
The Temporary Spare Tire
You may have a high pressure temporary spare tire. This spare
tire is smaller than a regular tire and is designed for emergency
use only. Use it only when you get a flat tire and replace it as
soon as you can. This spare tire is marked with the words
"TEMPORARY USE ONLY" so that you can easily identify it.
