Installing A Road Wheel - Ford 2015 Figo Owner's Manual

Installing a Road Wheel

WARNINGS
Make sure that the arrows on
directional tires point in the direction
of rotation when your vehicle is
moving forward. If you have to fit a spare
wheel with the arrows pointing in the
opposite direction, have the tire refitted in
the correct direction by an authorized
dealer.
Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other sizes could
damage the vehicle and will make
the National Type Approval invalid. See
Tire Pressures (page 152).
Make sure there is no lubrication
(grease or oil) on the threads or the
surface between the wheel lugs and
nuts. This can cause the lug nuts to loosen
while driving.
Do not fit run flat tires on vehicles
that were not originally fitted with
them. Contact an authorized dealer
for more details about compatibility.
WARNINGS
Do not install alloy wheels using lug
nuts designed for use with steel
wheels.
Lug nuts are subject to change. You
must make sure that you use only
the specific lug nuts and wheels
supplied for your vehicle. If in doubt please
contact an authorized dealer.
Note: The lug nuts of alloy wheels and
spoked steel wheels can also be used for
the steel spare wheel for a short time
(maximum two weeks).
