Dissimilar spare tire/wheel information
Failure to follow these guidelines could
result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, injury or death.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare
tire/wheel. A dissimilar spare tire/wheel is defined as
a spare tire and/or wheel that is different in brand,
size or appearance from the road tires and wheels. If
you have a dissimilar spare tire/wheel, then it is
intended for temporary use only. This means that if
you need to use it, you should replace it as soon as
possible with a road tire/wheel that is the same size
and type as the road tires and wheels that were
originally provided by Ford. If the dissimilar spare
tire or wheel is damaged, it should be replaced
rather than repaired.
When driving with the dissimilar spare tire/wheel, do
not:
• Exceed 70 mph (113 km/h)
• Use more than one dissimilar spare tire/wheel at a
time
• Use commercial car washing equipment
• Use snow chains on the end of the vehicle with
the dissimilar spare tire/wheel
The usage of a dissimilar spare tire/wheel can lead
to impairment of the following:
• Handling, stability and braking performance
• Comfort and noise
• Ground clearance and parking at curbs
• Winter weather driving capability
• Wet weather driving capability
• All-Wheel Driving Capability (if applicable)
• Load Leveling Adjustment (if applicable)
