gallon (47L) fuel tank

Your vehicle is either
equipped with a temporary
spare tire or a temporary
mobility kit, both of which
are located in the trunk. The
mobility kit contains an air
compressor to re-inflate the
tire and a sealing compound
that will seal most punctures
caused by nails or similar
objects. Do not attempt to
repair large punctures or
damage to the tire’s sidewall.
The mobility kit provides a
temporary seal allowing you
to drive up to 120 miles at a
maximum speed of 50 mph.
After sealant use, the TPMS
sensor and valve stem on the
wheel must be replaced by
an authorized Ford dealer.
For vehicles with a spare tire,
refer to the Changing a Road
Wheel section in the Wheels
and Tires chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
