What to do when a Tire Is Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire tread area can
be repaired in two stages with the kit.
• In the first stage, the tire will be reinflatedwith a sealing compound and air. After
the tire has been reinflated, you will need
to drive the vehicle a short distance 4 mi
(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 tire inflation
pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire with
Sealing Compound and Air
WARNINGS
Do not stand directly over the kit while
inflating the tire. If you notice any
unusual bulges or deformations in the tire
sidewall during inflation, stop and call
roadside assistance.
If the tire does not 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 engine 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 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.

4. Plug the power cable into the 12-voltpower point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found on the canister and place it on the top of the
instrument panel or the center of the
dash.
6. Start the vehicle only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

7. Push and turn dial (A) counterclockwiseto the sealant position. Turn on the kit by
pressing the on/off button (B).
E144621
8. Inflate the tire to the pressure specifiedby the tire label located on the driver
door or the door jamb area. While the
sealant compound is being pumped into
the tire, the air pressure gauge will
indicate a pressure above the actual tire
pressure. This is normal and should be
no reason for concern. The pressure
gauge will provide a correct tire pressure
reading after about 30 seconds of
operation. The tire pressure has to be
checked with the compressor in the off
position to get an accurate tire pressure
reading.
9. When the recommended tire pressure is reached, turn off the kit by pressing the
on/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. 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). 11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and
check the tire pressure. See Second
stage: Checking tire pressure.
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.
Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure
WARNINGS
If you are proceeding from the First
stage: Re–inflating the tire with sealing
compound and air section 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.
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 ofthe compressor and fasten firmly on the
valve stem by turning clockwise.
3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the air position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on button.
E144622
4. Adjust the tire to the recommendedinflation pressure from the tire label
located on the driver door or door jamb
area. 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. When the tire pressure reading with the
compressor in the off position is correct,
disconnect the hose, re-install the valve
cap on the tire valve, unplug the
compressor, and return the kit to the
stowage area.
What to do after the Tire has been
Sealed
After using the kit to seal your tire, you will
need to replace the sealant canister and
clear tube (hose). You can obtain and replace
sealing compound and spare parts at an
authorized Ford dealer 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 dealer 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 mi (200 km). 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 any time
within the 120 mi (200 km) by performing the
procedure from Second stage: Checking tire
pressure listed previously.

• Only use the sealing compound beforethe use-by date. The use-by date is on a
label on the sealant canister and can be
seen through the rectangular viewing
window on the bottom of the compressor.
Check the use-by date regularly and
replace the canister after four years of
non-use.
• Do not store the kit unsecured inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle
as it may cause injury during a sudden
stop or crash. Always store the kit in its
original location.
• After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and valve stem
on the wheel must be replaced by an
authorized Ford dealer.
• Operating the kit could cause an electrical disturbance in radio, CD, and
DVD player operation.

* When inflation only is required for
a tire or other objects, the selector
must be in the Air position.

3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the air position.
4. If required, turn on the compressor and adjust the tire to the recommended
inflation pressure shown on the tire label
located on the driver's door or door jamb
area. The tire pressure should be
checked with the compressor turned OFF
in order to get an accurate pressure
reading.
5. 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 kit to seal your tire, you will
need to replace the sealant canister. Sealant
canisters and spare parts can be obtained
at an authorized Ford dealer. Empty sealant
canisters may be disposed of at home.
However, canisters still containing liquid
sealant should be disposed of by your local
authorized Ford dealer or tire dealer, or in
accordance with local waste disposal
regulation.
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 mi (200 km). The sealed tire should
be inspected immediately.
You can check the tire pressure any time
within the 120 mi (200 km) by performing the
steps listed previously in the Second stage:
