Why is tire pressure critical in my Ford?
La presión de neumático adecuada es fundamental para el desgaste uniforme de la banda de rodamiento y para optimizar el desempeño y manejo del vehículo. La presión de neumático baja puede ocasionar un desgaste innecesario en los neumáticos y puede ser un indicador de que necesitas neumáticos nuevos. Find your vehicle's tire information, including tire pressure, on a placard located in your driver's side doorframe.
Checking Tire Pressure
Puedes revisar la presión de los neumáticos con facilidad con un medidor de presión de neumático tipo varilla digital o manual estándar. Simply remove the tire valve cap from the valve stem. Then place the tire pressure gauge on top of the tire valve stem, pressing down until you no longer hear the sound of air hissing out of the tire. This indicates that the tire gauge is engaged. A digital gauge will provide the air pressure on the screen, and a standard gauge will indicate the tire pressure in units that are etched on a bar that pushes out from the bottom of the gauge.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with FordPass® Connect*, you can also check your tire pressure using the FordPass® App**.
Frequency for Checking Tire Pressure
Deberías revisar la presión de los neumáticos todos los meses, especialmente porque la temperatura cambia. Tires should be inflated to the pressure per square inch (PSI) rating listed in the driver's side door frame. Ideally, you should check your tires when the tires are cold, meaning when your vehicle has not been driven for at least 3 hours because warm tires can have extra pressure.
You should check your tires if the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light comes on, you hit a pothole, or notice increased vibration or reduced traction, braking or handling. Una pérdida repentina de la presión de los neumáticos puede indicar que necesitas neumáticos nuevos o servicio de neumáticos.
