Inspection and Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Never run the engine with one wheel off the ground; for example, when changing a tire. The wheel(s) resting on the ground can cause the vehicle to move.
WARNING:
Do not balance the wheels and tires while they are mounted on the vehicle. Possible tire disintegration or differential failure can result, causing personal injury and extensive component damage. Use off-vehicle wheel and tire balancer only.
Be sure to follow the warnings when carrying out inspection and verification.
