Wheels And Tires; General Information; Tire Care; Risks On The Road - Ford 2015 Figo Owner's Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

Your vehicle may have an adhesive label
with tire pressure data, located in the
driver's door opening.
Check and set the tire pressure when the
tires are cold.
Note: Check your tire pressures regularly to
optimize fuel economy.
Note: Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other sizes could damage your
vehicle.
Note: If you change the diameter of the tires
from the tires fitted at the factory, the
speedometer may not display the correct
speed.
Note: If you intend to change the diameter
of the tires from the tires fitted at the
factory, ask your authorized dealer about
the fit.

TIRE CARE

Note: When parked next to a curb, do not
touch the tire sidewall.
If you have to park on a hill, do so slowly
and with the wheels at right angles with
respect to the curb.
Check treads regularly for cuts, foreign
bodies or irregular wear. Uneven wear may
indicate that the wheel is not aligned with
the specification.
Check the tire pressure (including the
spare) when they are cold, once every two
weeks or before starting a journey.

Risks on the Road

No matter how carefully you drive, there is
always the possibility that you may have
a flat tire on the road. Drive slowly to the
closest safe area, away from traffic. This
may further damage the deflated tire, but
your safety is more important.

Wheels and Tires

If you feel a vibration or ride disturbance
while driving, or suspect your tire or vehicle
is damaged, reduce speed immediately.
Drive with caution until you can get off the
road safely. Stop and check for damage
to the tires. If a tire is damaged or deflated,
remove the wheel and replace it with the
spare wheel.
Alignment
A bad jolt from hitting the edge of the
sidewalk or a pothole can cause the front
tires to become misaligned or damaged.
If your vehicle seems to pull to one side
while driving, the wheels may have lost
alignment. Have an authorized dealer
periodically check the wheel alignment.
Misalignment of the front or rear wheels
can cause uneven or rapid tire wear and
must be corrected by an authorized dealer.
The drive wheels on vehicles and those
with an independent rear suspension may
require alignment of the four wheels.
An unbalanced tire and wheel assembly
may result in uneven tire wear.
Note: Tire failure due to a lack of alignment
or balance is not covered under warranty.
Note: Alignment and balance is the
responsibility of the owner of the vehicle.
Tire Rotation
Note: If the tires have irregular or premature
wear, check the alignment and wheel
balancing or correct any mechanical
problems that could arise prior to the
rotation of the wheels.
Note: After rotating your tires, check and
adjust the tire pressure according to the
requirements of the vehicle.
