The Ford C-Max tire pressure reset procedure must be carried out after a tire has been changed or after the pressure has been adjusted in a tire. The Ford C-Max requires different tire pressures in the front tires compared to the rear tires. If you are using the recommenced specification tires for your vehicle, the correct tire pressure values can be located on the label located on the edge of driver door or the B-Pillar.

Tire pressures should be checked ideally every two weeks and when the tires are cold. It’s recommended to always check tire pressure before a long journey.

Under normal driving conditions tire pressures may increase by up to 4 psi (0.3 bar) from a cold start situation. If you need to adjust tire pressures at a service station, ideally you should keep a pressure gauge at home, make a note of pressures there and make up the difference at the service station.
