Changing A Road Wheel - Ford Ecosport 2013 Owner's Manual

The tires need to be periodically rotated
to provide consistent performance and
maximum tire life, the system needs to
know when the tires have been rotated to
determine which set of tires are on the
front and rear axles. With this information,
the system can detect and correctly warn
of low tire pressures.
Carrying Out the System Reset
Procedure
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Using the information display control,
navigate to Menu, Vehicle settings,
Driver assist, Tyre Monitor.
3. Press and hold the OK button until
confirmation appears.
Alternatively, if your vehicle has a tire
pressure monitoring system reset button,
press and hold the button until
confirmation appears.
How Temperature Affects the Tire
Pressures
While driving in a normal manner, tire
pressures may increase up to 0.3 bar (4
psi) from a cold start situation. If the
vehicle is stationary overnight and the
temperature significantly lower than the
daytime temperature, tire pressures may
decrease up to 0.2 bar (3 psi) for a drop of
17°C (30°F) in ambient temperature. This
lower pressure value will be detected by
the system as being significantly lower
than the correct inflation pressure and the
warning lamp will illuminate.
When Inflating the Tires
When inflating the tires the system may
not respond immediately to the air added
to the tires.
If the Warning Lamp Is On:
1. Check each tire to verify that none are
flat.
