¿Cómo cambio los neumáticos de mi Ford?

The tire change procedure varies depending on your vehicle. For specific information, refer to your Manual del Propietario under Changing a Road Wheel or Changing Tires. It is particularly important on electric vehicles to locate the proper lift points so that you don’t damage the high voltage battery while hoisting your vehicle.

Important: Your Manual del Propietario contains warning instructions. Follow those instructions for your safety.

Items Needed to Change a Tire

• Lug Wrench
• Car Jack
• Neumático de Repuesto

Cambiar un Neumático

First, check if your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire or the Kit para Inflar Neumáticos y Sellador. To remove and replace your tire:

1. Park on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) or in gear (if your vehicle has a transmission) and apply the parking brake. Then, activate the hazard lights and turn the engine off.
3. Locate your spare tire if equipped. If you need help, refer to your Manual del Propietario.
   
   Nota: Spare tire location varies across vehicles.
    
4. Remove the wing nut that secures the spare tire by turning it counterclockwise.
5. Remove the spare tire.
6. Remove the jack from the foam holder.
7. Remove the flat tire retainer strap from the jack base.
8. Remove and unfold the lug wrench for use.
9. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise, but do not remove them until the wheel is raised off the ground.
10. Jack at the specified locations to avoid damage to the vehicle.
    
    Note: The vehicle jacking points are also depicted on the warning label on the jack. Small arrow-shaped marks on the vehicle sills show the location of the jacking points. Locating the proper jacking points is particularly important with electric vehicles so that you don’t damage the high-voltage battery while hoisting your vehicle.
     
11. Turn the wrench clockwise to raise the vehicle until the flat tire is completely off the ground.
12. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.
    
    Note: If equipped with full wheel covers with exposed wheel nuts, remove the wheel nuts prior to removing the wheel cover, or damage to the wheel cover may occur.
     
13. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is facing outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been lowered.
14. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
15. Remove the jack and fully tighten the lug nuts.
16. Stow all equipment.
