Ford Escape: Tire Care / Inspecting the Wheel Valve Stems. Tire Rotation

Inspecting the Wheel Valve Stems

Check the valve stems for holes, cracks, or cuts that could permit air leakage.

Tire Rotation

WARNING: If the tire label shows different tire pressures for the front and rear tires and the vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system, then you need to update the settings for the system sensors. Always perform the system reset procedure after tire rotation. If you do not reset the system, it may not provide a low tire pressure warning when necessary.

Rotating your tires at the recommended interval will help your tires wear more evenly, providing better tire performance and longer tire life.

Note: If your tires show any uneven wear have the alignment checked by an authorized dealer before rotating tires.

Note: If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly, it is intended for temporary use only and should not be used in a tire rotation.

Note: After having your tires rotated, inflation pressure must be checked and adjusted to the vehicle requirements.
