Lincoln Navigator L (2008) SUV [13/24] Inflating your tires

INFLATING YOUR TIRES

Safe operation of your vehicle requires that your tires are properly

inflated. Every day before you drive, check your tires. If one looks lower

than the others, use a tire gauge to check pressure of all tires, and adjust

if required. Remember that a tire can lose up to half of its air pressure

without appearing flat.

At least once a month and before long trips, inspect each tire and check

the tire pressure with a tire gauge (including spare, if equipped). Inflate

all tires to the inflation pressure recommended by Ford Motor Company.

Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation pressure, including the spare

(if equipped), at least monthly and before long trips. You are strongly

urged to buy a reliable tire pressure gauge, as automatic service station

gauges may be inaccurate. Ford recommends the use of a digital or

dial-type tire pressure gauge rather than a stick-type tire pressure gauge.

Use the recommended cold inflation pressure for optimum tire

performance and wear. Under-inflation or over-inflation may cause

uneven treadwear patterns.

Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and

may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation or ⬙blowout⬙,

with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury.

Under-inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance,

resulting in heat buildup and internal damage to the tire. It also may

result in unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear, loss of vehicle control

and accidents. A tire can lose up to half of its air pressure and not

appear to be flat!

Always inflate your tires to the Ford recommended inflation pressure

even if it is less than the maximum inflation pressure information found

on the tire. The Ford recommended tire inflation pressure is found on

the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label which is located

on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. Failure to follow the tire

pressure recommendations can cause uneven treadwear patterns and

adversely affect the way your vehicle handles.

Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure is the tire manufacturer’s

maximum permissible pressure and/or the pressure at which the

maximum load can be carried by the tire. This pressure is normally

higher than the manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure

which can be found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire

Label which is located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door.
