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
