WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: This procedure is intended for vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and different front and rear tire pressures.

Remove the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to WHEEL AND TIRE - SINGLE REAR WHEEL (SRW) .
NOTE: The front tires are shown at the top of the illustration.

Rotate the wheel and tire assemblies as shown below.
- Cross the front tires and move them to the rear of the vehicle.
- Move the rear tires (without crossing) to the front of the vehicle.

Install the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to WHEEL AND TIRE - SINGLE REAR WHEEL (SRW) .
Adjust the tire pressures. Refer to the Vehicle Certification (VC) label located on the driver door jamb.
NOTE: The tire pressures must be adjusted and the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will result in a false low tire pressure event, which will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate.

Train the TPMS sensors. For additional information, refer to TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) SENSOR TRAINING .
