•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. Turn on the hazard
lights.
•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 motor running so the
compressor doesn’t drain the vehicle’s battery.
•Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than
15 minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.
•Never leave the temporary mobility kit unattended when it is
operating.
•Sealant compound contains latex. Make sure that you use the
non-latex gloves provided to avoid an allergic reaction.
•Keep the temporary mobility kit away from children.
•Only use the temporary mobility kit when the ambient temperature is
between -22°F (–30°C) and 158°F (70°C).
•Only use the sealing compound before the use by date. The use by
date is on the lower right hand corner of the label located on the
sealant canister (bottle).Note:Check the use by date regularly and
replace the canister after four years.
•Do not store the temporary mobility kit unsecured inside the
passenger compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a
sudden stop or collision. Always store the kit in its original location.
•After sealant use, the TPMS sensor and valve stem on the wheel must
be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer.
•When inflating a tire or other objects, use the black air hose only. Do
not use the transparent hose which is designed for sealant application
only.

•Operating the temporary mobility kit could cause an electrical
disturbance in radio, CD, and DVD player operation (if equipped). .
What To Do When a Tire Is Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire’s tread area can be repaired in two stages
with the temporary mobility kit:
•In the first stage, the tire will be reinflated with a sealing compound
and air. After the tire has been reinflated, you will need to drive the
vehicle a short distance (approximately 4 miles [6 km]) to distribute
the sealant in the tire.
•In the second stage, you will need to check the tire pressure and
adjust, if necessary, to the vehicle’s tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire with Sealing Compound and Air
WARNING:Do not stand directly over the temporary mobility
kit while inflating the tire. If you notice any unusual bulges or
deformations in the tire’s sidewall during inflation, stop and call
roadside assistance.
WARNING:If the tire doesn’t inflate to the recommended tire
pressure within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside assistance.
Preparation
Park the vehicle in a safe, level and secure area, away from moving
traffic. Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking brake and turn the
motor off. Inspect the flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. To avoid any allergic reactions, use the
non-latex gloves located in the accessory box on the underside of the
temporary mobility kit housing.
Do not remove any foreign object that has pierced the tire. If a puncture
is located in the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside assistance.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2. Unwrap the clear tube from the compressor housing.
3. Remove the tube cap and fasten the metal connector of the tube to
the tire valve, turning clockwise. Make sure the connection is tightly
fastened.

Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough to require an emergency response
for conventional vehicles would also require the same response for an
electric or hybrid-electric vehicle.
If possible
•Move your car to a safe, nearby location and remain on the scene.
•Roll down windows before shutting vehicle off.
•Place vehicle in Park, set parking brake, turn off the vehicle, activate
hazard lights, and move key(s) at least 16 feet (5 meters) away from
the vehicle.
Always
•Call 911 if assistance is needed and advise that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
•Do not touch exposed electrical components or the engine
compartment, as a shock hazard may exist.
•Avoid contact with leaking fluids and gases, and remain out of the way
of oncoming traffic until emergency responders arrive.
•When emergency responders arrive, tell them that the vehicle involved
is an electric vehicle or hybrid-electric vehicle.
Fires
As with any vehicle, call 911 immediately if you see sparks, smoke, or
flames coming from the vehicle.
•Exit the vehicle immediately.
•Advise 911 that an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
•As with any vehicle fire, do not inhale smoke, vapors, or gas from the
vehicle, as they may be hazardous.
•Remain a safe distance upwind and uphill from the vehicle fire.
•Stay out of the roadway and stay out of the way of any oncoming
traffic while awaiting the arrival of emergency responders.

Note:Your electrical source must meet certain requirements for the
high-voltage battery to charge. The AC outlet must be a three-prong
110-120 volt AC outlet that is properly grounded, 15–20 amps (or
greater), and in good condition. The line also must be dedicated, which
means that no other appliances should be connected to the same circuit.
If a dedicated circuit is not used, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If a dedicated circuit is not available, contact a licensed professional
electrician for proper installation.
Note:The vehicle must be in (P) park to charge the high-voltage
battery.
Make sure that the 120 volt
convenience cord is completely
unwound before charging. Always
plug the cord into the AC outlet
before connecting the charging
coupler into the vehicle’s charge
port receptacle. The 120 volt
convenience cord inline control box
has three indicator lights that
represent the charging status;
power, charge and fault.
The charge port is located between the front left side door and front left
wheel well. There is an indentation located on the charge port door that
allows you to press to open and press to close the door.
Power (green light) — this indicator lights up when the cord is plugged
into the AC wall outlet.
Charge (green light) — Indicates status of charging:
•No light means the cord is not connected to the vehicle.
•Blinking light means that the charging is in process.
•Solid light means that the vehicle is connected but not charging.
Fault (red triangle light) — Lights up in case of a detected failure. No
charging is possible:
•Blinking red triangle light – means that the 120 volt convenience cord
is trying to reset the failure and could restart the charging cycle.
•Solid red triangle light – means that the fault is permanent. The cord
needs to be unplugged and re-plugged to reset the fault. If the fault
persists, contact your authorized dealer.
