CAUTION: Use only special tool 204-354 anytime tire pressures are measured to be sure that accurate values are obtained.
CAUTION: Place the air chuck straight on the valve stem to inflate the tire. Do not cock the air chuck during the inflation cycle. Doing so can damage the valve stem and cause air leaks.
CAUTION: Ford recommends using a round head air chuck on tire pressure sensors; it is not recommended to use air chucks with long shanks.
