•Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers.
•Periodically monitor tire inflation pressure in the affected tire; if the
tire is losing pressure, have the vehicle towed.
•Read the information in theTips for use of the temporary mobility
kitsection to ensure safe operation of the temporary mobility kit and
your vehicle.
Tips for use of the temporary mobility kit
Read the following list of tips to ensure safe operation of the temporary
mobility kit:
•Before operating the temporary mobility kit, make sure your vehicle is
safely off the road and away from moving traffic.
•Always set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle doesn’t move
unexpectedly.
•Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the
tire.
•When using the temporary mobility kit, leave the engine running
(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area)so
the compressor doesn’t drain the vehicle’s battery.
•Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than
10 minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.
•Never leave the temporary mobility kit unattended when it is
operating.
•Keep the temporary mobility kit away from children.
•Only use the temporary mobility kit when the ambient temperature is
above –20°F (-29°C).
•Only use the temporary mobility kit for sealing/inflating the tires on
your vehicle. Do not use the kit for inflating tires on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tire.
•Only use the sealing compound before the expiration date. The
expiration date is labeled on the unit.
•Do not store the temporary mobility kit inside the passenger
compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a sudden
stop or collision. Store the kit in its proper location.

4. Loosen the safety latch (4) on
the sealing compound container (5)
and rotate the container until it is
upright and clicks into place.
5. Peel the speed limit sticker (6)
off the side of the container and
affix it to the center of the steering
wheel or the instrument panel so it
can be seen in plain view.
6. Start the engine(only if the
vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area)to prevent
the vehicle’s battery from draining.
Do not start your vehicle in
a closed garage or in other
enclosed areas. The carbon
monoxide in exhaust fumes can be
toxic. Always open the garage
door before you start the engine.
7. Turn the air compressor on by
pressing the “I” side of the orange
button.

Second stage: Checking tire pressure
1. Stop driving after approximately two miles. Then check the air
pressure of the damaged tire as follows:
•Ensure the compressor is turned off by pressing the “O” side of the
orange button.
•Remove the hose and the cable with the electrical plug from the kit’s
storage compartment.
•Remove the valve cap from the sealed tire, then screw the hose firmly
onto the tire’s air valve.
•Start the engine(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area)to prevent the vehicle’s battery from draining.
•Insert the electrical plug into the vehicle’s power point.
•Read the air pressure gauge on the temporary mobility kit.
2. If the air pressure reads 19 psi (131 kPa) or higher, switch the air
compressor on by pressing the “I” side of the orange button and adjust
the air pressure to the recommended pressure. This pressure can be
found on a label affixed to the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. If
the air pressure is higher than the label states, reduce the excess
pressure by pressing down on the pressure release valve (8).

Note:If you experience any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or noise
while driving, reduce your speed until you can safely pull off to the side
of the road to call for roadside assistance.
You can check the tire pressure any time within the 120 miles (200 km)
by performing the following:
1. Ensure the compressor is turned off by pressing the “O” side of the
orange button.
2. Remove the hose and the cable with the electrical plug from the kit’s
storage compartment.
3. Remove the valve cap from the sealed tire, then screw the hose firmly
onto the tire’s air valve.
4. Insert the electrical plug into the vehicle’s power point.
5. Start the engine(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area)to prevent the vehicle’s battery from draining.
6. Read the air pressure gauge on the temporary mobility kit.
If the tire pressure needs to be increased, operate the air compressor
and inflate the tire to the recommended pressure as indicated on the
label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door.

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION
Use Motorcraft SAE 5W-50 full synthetic or an equivalent SAE 5W-50 full
synthetic oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C931-B.
Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine
treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that
is not covered by Ford warranty.
Change your engine oil and filter according to the appropriate schedule
listed in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
ENGINE AND INTERCOOLER COOLANT
The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the
mileage intervals listed in the scheduled maintenance guide. The coolant
concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and water, which
equates to a freeze point of -36°C (-34°F). Coolant concentration testing
is possible with a hydrometer or antifreeze tester (such as the Rotunda
Battery and Antifreeze Tester, 0014–R1060). The level of coolant should
be maintained at the “cold full” of “cold fill range” level in the coolant
reservoir. If the level falls below, add coolant per the instructions in the
Adding Engine Coolantsection.
Your vehicle was factory-filled with a 50/50 engine coolant and water
concentration. If the concentration of coolant falls below 40% or above
60%, the engine parts could become damaged or not work properly.A
50/50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following:
•freeze protection down to -36°C (-34°F).
•boiling protection up to 129°C (265°F).
•protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.
•an accurate temperature readout from the engine coolant
gauge.

Changing the air filter element
1. Release the clamps that secure
the air filter housing cover.
2. Carefully separate the two halves
of the air filter housing.
3. Remove the air filter element
from the air filter housing.
4. Wipe the air filter housing and
cover clean to remove any dirt or
debris and to ensure good sealing.
5. Install a new air filter element. Be
careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the air filter
housing and cover. This could cause
filter damage and allow unfiltered
air to enter the engine if not
properly seated.
6. Replace the air filter housing
cover and secure the clamps.
