Roadside emergencies To lessen the risk of personal injury, do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while changing a tire. Do not start the engine when your vehicle is on the jack. The jack is only meant for changing the tire. 6. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench. 7. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is facing outward. Reinstall lug nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been lowered. If you are using the temporary tire, the lug nut washers will not appear to be flush with the rim. This is normal only when using the temporary spare tire. 8. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. 1 9. Remove the jack and fully tighten the lug nuts in the order 3 4 shown. 10. Put flat tire, jack and lug wrench away. 5 2 Make sure jack is fastened so it does not rattle when you drive. 11. Unblock the wheels. Anti-theft lug nuts (if equipped) If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, one of the lug nuts on each wheel must be removed and replaced with a special key. The key and registration card are attached to the lug wrench and stored with the spare tire. If you lose the key, send the registration card to the manufacturer (not the dealer) to get a replacement key. If the lug wrench/lug nut key assembly is lost, see your nearest Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealer who has access to the master set of keys. Do not use an impact wrench with the anti-theft key. 140
