7. Push and turn dial (A)
counterclockwise to the sealant
position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on button (B).
8. Inflate the tire to the pressure
listed on the Tire Label located on
the driver’s door or the door jamb
area.
Note:When the sealing compound is first added into the tire, the air
pressure gauge reading on the compressor unit may indicate a higher
value; this is normal and should be no reason for concern. The pressure
will drop after about 30 seconds of operation. The tire pressure has to be
checked with the compressor in the OFF position to get the correct tire
pressure reading.
9. When the recommended tire pressure is reached, turn off the kit by
pressing the on and off button; disconnect the kit from the tire valve and
the power point. Re-install the valve cap on the tire valve, place the tube
cap on the metal connector, and return the kit to the stowage area.
10.Note:Immediately and cautiously, drive the vehicle 4 miles
(6 kilometers) to distribute the sealant evenly inside the tire. Do not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
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.Note:Do not
proceed to the second stage of this operation.
11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and check the tire pressure.

Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure
WARNING:If you are proceeding from theFirst Stage:
Reinflating the Tire with Sealing Compound and Airsection
and have injected sealant in the tire and the pressure is below 20 psi
(1.4 bar), stop and call roadside assistance. If tire pressure is above
20 psi (1.4 bar), continue to the next step.
WARNING:The power plug may get hot after use and should be
handled carefully while unplugging.
Check the air pressure of your tires as follows:
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2. Unhook the black hose from the side of the compressor and fasten
firmly on the valve stem by turning clockwise.
3. Press down and turn the dial clockwise to the air position. Turn on the
kit by pressing the on/off button.
4. Adjust the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
from the Tire Label located on the
driver’s door or door jamb area.
Note:The tire pressure has to be
checked with the compressor in the
OFF position to get the correct tire
pressure reading.
5. Turn the compressor off by
pressing the on/off button.
6. Unplug the hoses, re-install the valve cap on the tire and return the
kit to the stowage area.

What To Do After the Tire Has Been Sealed
After using the temporary mobility kit to seal your tire, you will need to
replace the sealant canister and clear tube (hose). Sealing compound
and spare parts can be obtained and replaced at an authorized Ford
Motor Company dealership or tire dealer. Empty sealant bottles may be
disposed of at home. However, liquid residue from the sealing compound
should be disposed by your local Ford Motor Company dealership or tire
dealer, or in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.
Note:After the sealing compound has been used, the maximum vehicle
speed is 50 mph (80 km/h) and the maximum driving distance is
120 miles (200 kilometers). The sealed tire should be inspected
immediately.
Note:After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and
valve stem on the wheel must be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer.
You can check the tire pressure anytime within the 120 miles
(200 kilometers) by performing the procedure fromSecond Stage:
Checking Tire Pressurelisted previously.
Removal of the sealant canister from the temporary mobility kit:
1. Unwrap the clear tube from the
compressor housing.
2. Locate the yellow cap at the end
of the clear tube.

of the sealant canister, consult your Ford Motor Company authorized
dealer for assistance.
Be sure to check the sealant
compound’s use-by date regularly.
The use-by date is on the lower
right hand corner of the label
located on the sealant canister.
The sealant canister should be replaced after four years.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING:When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with
the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in
motion, resulting in loss of control.
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles
(160 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as rotation, flat tire,
wheel removal).

Additives and Chemicals
Ford Motor Company recommended additives and chemicals are listed in
the owner manual and in the Ford Workshop Manual. Additional
chemicals or additives not approved by Ford are not recommended as
part of normal maintenance. Please consult your warranty information.
Oils, fluids and flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic
and, by itself, does not necessarily indicate a concern or that the fluid
needs to be changed. However, discolored fluids that also show signs of
overheating and foreign material contamination should be inspected
immediately by a qualified expert, such as the factory-trained technicians
at your dealership. Your vehicle’s oils and fluids should be changed at the
specified intervals or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable
way to change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are flushed only with new fluid
that is the same as that required to fill and operate the system, or using
a Ford-approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Certain basic maintenance checks and inspections should be performed
every month or at six month intervals.
Check every month
Engine oil level.
Function of all interior and exterior lights.
Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure.
Windshield washer fluid level.
Check every six months
Battery connections. Clean if necessary.
Body and door drain holes for obstructions. Clean if necessary.
Cooling system fluid level and coolant strength.
Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary.
Hinges, latches and outside locks for proper operation. Lubricate if
necessary.
Parking brake for proper operation.

recommends the following multi-point inspection be performed at every
scheduled maintenance interval to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great.

Be sure to ask your dealership service advisor or technician about the
multi-point vehicle inspection. It is a comprehensive way to perform a
thorough inspection of your vehicle. It is your checklist that gives you
immediate feedback on the overall condition of your vehicle. You will
know what has been checked, what is okay, as well as those things that
may require future or immediate attention. The multi-point vehicle
inspection is one more way to keep your vehicle running great!
