2005 Ford Taurus Owners Manual

Tires, Wheels and Loading
higher than the  manufacturer’s recommended cold  inflation pressure
which can be  found on either  the tire label or  certification label which  is
located on the  B-Pillar or the  edge of the driver’s  door. The cold  inflation
pressure should never  be set lower  than the recommended pressure  on
the tire label  or certification label.
When weather temperature  changes occur, tire  inflation pressures also
change. A 10°  F (6° C)  temperature drop can cause  a corresponding
drop of 1  psi (7 kPa)  in inflation pressure. Check  your tire pressures
frequently and adjust  them to the  proper pressure which can  be found
on the tire  label or certification  label.
If you are  checking tire pressure  when the tire is  hot, (i.e. driven  more
than 1 mile  [1.6 km]), never  “bleed” or reduce air  pressure. The tires  are
hot from driving  and it is  normal for pressures to  increase above
recommended cold pressures.  A hot tire  at or below recommended  cold
inflation pressure could  be significantly under-inflated.
To check the  pressure in your  tire(s):
1.
Make sure the  tires are cool,  meaning they are not  hot from driving
even a mile.
Note: If you  have to drive  a distance to get  air for your  tire(s), check
and record the  tire pressure first  and add the appropriate  air pressure
when you get  to the pump.  It is normal for  tires to heat  up and the air
pressure inside to  go up as  you drive. Never “bleed”  or reduce air
pressure when tires  are hot.
2.
Remove the cap  from the valve  on one tire, then  firmly press the  tire
gauge onto the  valve and measure  the pressure with the  tire gauge.
3.
Add enough air  to reach the  recommended air pressure
Note: If you  overfill the tire,  release air by pushing  on the metal  stem in
the center of  the valve. Then  recheck the pressure with  your tire gauge.
4.
5.
Replace the valve  cap.
Repeat this procedure  for each tire,  including the spare.
Note: Some spare  tires require higher  inflation pressure than the  other
tires. Check the  tire label on  the B pillar or  the edge of  the driver’s door
for the recommended  spare tire pressure.
6.
objects embedded that  could poke a  hole in the tire  and cause an  air
leak.
Visually inspect the  tires to make  sure there are no  nails or other
7.
Check the sidewalls  to make sure  there are no gouges,  cuts or bulges.
