Do you get a spare wheel with a Ford Puma?
Most recent Ford Puma models do not include a traditional spare wheel. Instead, Ford ships a tyre repair kit with a sealant canister and a portable air compressor as standard. An optional space-saver spare wheel may be available in certain markets or trims, but it is not universally included.
What’s included with the Ford Puma
Here’s what you typically find in the boot or toolkit, depending on market and model year.
- Tyre Repair Kit: a sealant canister and a portable air compressor
- No conventional spare wheel (full-size or space-saver) included as standard
- Optional space-saver spare wheel may be offered on select markets or trims
For drivers who regularly travel long distances or in areas with limited tyre services, it’s worth checking with a dealer about availability or alternatives, such as adding a spare wheel as an aftermarket option.
Markets and trims where a spare wheel is available
Availability of a spare wheel varies by country, trim level, and package options. Some markets may offer a space-saver spare as an option, while others adhere to the tyre repair kit standard.
- Optional space-saver spare wheel may be offered in certain markets or with specific packages
- In most markets, the standard configuration is a tyre repair kit rather than a spare wheel
- Availability depends on country, trim, and dealer specifications; always verify your exact build sheet
To confirm what your particular Puma includes, check the vehicle’s documentation or ask your Ford dealer about the exact specification for your market and trim.
How to verify what your car has
If you want to be certain about whether your Puma includes a spare wheel, use these checks on your vehicle.
- Inspect the boot floor: lift the floor panel to see if a spare wheel is stored there
- Look in the boot toolkit area for a tyre repair kit with sealant and a compressor
- Consult the owner’s manual or the vehicle’s specification label (usually on the door edge or fuel filler cap) for emergency equipment details
- Ask your Ford dealer or check your build sheet or VIN documentation for the exact factory specification
If you still aren’t sure after these checks, a quick call to a local dealer can provide a definitive answer for your exact model and market.
What to do in a puncture
Immediate steps
If you have a tyre repair kit, follow the included instructions to seal and inflate the tyre and then drive to the nearest service center or tyre shop, keeping to the kit’s guidelines on speed and distance. If you have a spare wheel, use the car jack and wheel wrench to replace the damaged tyre, following the user manual for safe operation. If you’re unsure or the repair seems unsafe, contact roadside assistance.
Summary
In short, the Ford Puma typically does not come with a traditional spare wheel; most markets include a tyre repair kit and inflator instead. An optional space-saver spare may be available in some markets or trims, but this is not universal. Always verify the exact emergency equipment on your specific Puma by checking the boot, consulting the manual, or confirming with your dealer. Being aware of your car’s emergency kit helps you plan for trips and potential punctures more effectively.
