2006 Ford Escape Owners Manual

Tires, Wheels and Loading
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.
Not e: 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.
3.
Add enough  air  to reach  the  recommended   air pressure
Not e: 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.
Not e: Some  spare  tires  operate  at a  higher  inflation pressure   than  the
other  tires.  For T-type/mini-spare   tires  (see  T-Type/Min i-Spa re Tir e
Information    section  for description)  : Store  and maintain  at  60psi (4.15
bars) . For  Full Size and  Dissimilar spare  tires  (see  Dissim ila r  Spa re
Tir e/Wheel Information    section  for description)  : Store  and  maintain  at
the  higher of  the front  and  rear  inflation pressure   as shown  on the  Tire
Label.
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.
TIRE CARE
Inspecting your tires
Periodically  inspect  the  tire treads   for uneven  or excessive  wear  and
remove  objects  such as  stones,  nails or  glass that  may be  wedged  in the
tread  grooves.  Check for  holes or  cuts that  may  permit  air leakage  from
