Always follow these precautions: s Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressures. s Stay within the recommended load limits (see Load limits in the Index). s Make sure the weight of your load is evenly distributed. s Drive at safe speeds. If you do not take these precautions, your tires may fail or go flat. Ford Motor Company recommends obeying posted speed limits. RWARNING Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility of loss of vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for extended periods of time may result in damage to vehicle components. At least once a month, check the pressure in all your vehicle's tires, including the spare. Use an accurate tire pressure gauge. Check the tire pressure when tires are cold (after the vehicle has been parked for at least one hour or has been driven less than 3 miles [5 km]). You can find the proper cold pressure and load limits of recommended size tires on the Tire Pressure Decal on the left front door lock facing. 224
