CLEANING THE ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are
clean because grease and dirt buildup keep
the engine warmer than normal.
When washing:
• Take care when using a power washerto clean the engine. The high-pressure
fluid could penetrate the sealed parts
and cause damage.
• Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the engine block or
other engine components.
• Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser on all parts that require
cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Engine Shampoo.
• Never wash or rinse the engine while it is hot or running; water in the running
engine may cause internal damage. • Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or the
area in and around these locations.
• Cover the battery, power distribution box, and air filter assembly to prevent water
damage when cleaning the engine.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance. To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
• Clean the windshield with a non-abrasive
glass cleaner. When cleaning the interior
of the windshield, avoid getting any glass
cleaner on the instrument panel or door
panels. Wipe any glass cleaner off these
surfaces immediately.
• For windshields contaminated with tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean the
entire windshield using steel wool (no
greater than 0000 grade) in a circular
motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
concentrate.
Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals from
the inside of the heated rear window. The
vehicle warranty does not cover damage
caused to the heated rear window grid lines.

Vehicle Care

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.
E144619
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:
317
Wheels and Tires

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.
