Vehicle Care

General Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these guidelinescould result in an increased risk ofloss of vehicle control, injury or death.
Note:Do not use the kit if a tire has becomeseverely damaged. Only punctures locatedwithin the tire tread can be sealed with thekit.
Do not attempt to repair punctures largerthan ¼ inch (6 millimeters) or damage tothe tire's sidewall. The tire may notcompletely seal.
Loss of air pressure may adversely affecttire performance. For this reason:
Note:Do not drive the vehicle above50 mph (80 km/h).
Note:Do not drive further than 120 mi(200 km). Drive only to the closestauthorized Ford dealer or tire repair shop tohave your tire inspected.
•Drive carefully and avoid abruptsteering maneuvers.
•Periodically monitor tire inflationpressure in the affected tire; if the tireis losing pressure, have the vehicletowed.
•Read the information in the Tips forUse of the Kit section to make sure safeoperation of the kit and your vehicle.
Tips for Use of the Kit
To ensure safe operation of the kit:
•Read all instructions and cautions fully.
•Before operating the kit, make sureyour vehicle is safely off the road andaway from moving traffic. Turn on thehazard lights.
•Always set the parking brake to ensurethe vehicle doesn't move unexpectedly.
•Do not remove any foreign objects,such as nails or screws, from the tire.
•When using the kit, leave the enginerunning (only if the vehicle is outdoorsor in a well-ventilated area) so thecompressor does not drain thevehicle's battery.
•Do not allow the compressor tooperate continuously for more than 15minutes. This will help prevent thecompressor from overheating.
•Never leave the kit unattended duringoperation.
•Sealant compound contains latex.Those with latex sensitivities shoulduse appropriate precautions to avoidan allergic reaction.
•Keep the kit away from children.
•Only use the kit when the ambienttemperature is between -22°F (-30°C)and 158°F (70°C).
•Only use the sealing compound beforethe use-by date. The use-by date is ona label on the sealant canister and canbe seen through the rectangularviewing window on the bottom of thecompressor. Check the use-by dateregularly and replace the canister afterfour years of non-use.
•Do not store the kit unsecured insidethe passenger compartment of thevehicle as it may cause injury during asudden stop or crash. Always store thekit in its original location.
•After sealant use, the tire pressuremonitoring system sensor and valvestem on the wheel must be replacedby an authorized Ford dealer.
•Operating the kit could cause anelectrical disturbance in radio, CD, andDVD player operation.

* When inflation only is requiredfor a tire or other objects, theselector must be in the Airposition.
What to do when a Tire IsPunctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread areacan be repaired in two stages with the kit.
•In the first stage, the tire will bereinflated with a sealing compoundand air. After the tire has been inflated,you will need to drive the vehicle ashort distance (about 4 miles [6kilometers]) to distribute the sealantin the tire.
•In the second stage, you will need tocheck the tire pressure and adjust, ifnecessary, to the vehicle's specifiedtire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tirewith Sealing Compound and Air
WARNINGS
Do not stand directly over the kitwhile inflating the tire. If you noticeany unusual bulges or deformationsin the tire's sidewall during inflation, stopand call roadside assistance.
If the tire does not inflate to therecommended tire pressure within15 minutes, stop and call roadsideassistance.
Do not run the engine during kitoperation unless the vehicle isoutdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, leveland secure area, away from moving traffic.
Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parkingbrake and turn the engine off. Inspect theflat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. Useappropriate precautions to avoid anyallergic reactions.
Do not remove any foreign object that haspierced the tire. If a puncture is located inthe tire sidewall, stop and call roadsideassistance.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tirevalve.
2. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (blacktube) from the back of the compressorhousing.
3. Fasten the hose to the tire valve byturning the connector clockwise.Tighten the connection securely.
4. Plug the power cable into the 12-voltpower point in the vehicle.

5. Remove the warning sticker found onthe casing/housing and place it on thetop of the instrument panel or thecenter of the dash.
6. Start the vehicle leave the enginerunning so the compressor does notdrain the vehicle’s battery.
7. Turn dial (A) clockwise to the sealantposition. Turn the kit on by pressing theon/off button (B).
8.Inflate the tire to the pressure listed onthe tire label located on the driver'sdoor or the door jamb area. The initialair pressure gauge reading may indicatea value higher than the label pressurewhile the sealing compound is beingpumped into the tire. This is normal andshould be no reason for concern. The
pressure gauge reading will indicatethe tire inflation pressure after about30 seconds of operation. The final tirepressure should be checked with thecompressor turned OFF in order to getan accurate pressure reading.
9. When the recommended tire pressureis reached, turn off the kit, unplug thepower cable, and disconnect the hosefrom the tire valve. Re-install the valvecap on the tire valve and return the kitto the stowage area.
10.Immediately and cautiously, drive thevehicle 4 miles (6 kilometers) todistribute the sealant evenly insidethe tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80km/h).
11.After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop andcheck the tire pressure. See Secondstage: Checking tire pressure.

Second Stage: Checking TirePressure
WARNINGS
If you are proceeding from the FirstStage: Re-inflating the Tire withSealing Compound and Air sectionand have injected sealant in the tire andthe pressure is below 20 psi (1.4 bar),continue to the next step.
The power plug may get hot after useand should be handled carefullywhile unplugging.
Check the air pressure of your tires asfollows:
1. Remove the valve cap from the tirevalve.
2. Firmly screw the air compressor hoseonto the valve stem by turningclockwise.
3.Push and turn the dial clockwise to theair position.
4.If required, turn on the compressor andadjust the tire to the recommendedinflation pressure shown on the tirelabel located on the driver's door ordoor jamb area. The tire pressureshould be checked with thecompressor turned OFF in order to getan accurate pressure reading.
5. Unplug the hoses, re-install the valvecap on the tire and return the kit to thestowage area.
What to do after the Tire has beenSealed
After using the kit to seal your tire, you willneed to replace the sealant canister.Sealant canisters and spare parts can beobtained at an authorized Ford dealer.Empty sealant canisters may be disposedof at home. However, canisters stillcontaining liquid sealant should bedisposed of by your local authorized Forddealer or tire dealer, or in accordance withlocal waste disposal regulation.
Note:After the sealing compound has beenused, the maximum vehicle speed is 50 mph(80 km/h) and the maximum drivingdistance is 120 mi (200 km). The sealed tireshould be inspected immediately.
You can check the tire pressure any timewithin the 120 mi (200 km) by performingthe steps listed previously in the Secondstage: Checking Tire Pressure procedure.

Glossary of Tire Terminology
* Tire label: A label showing theoriginal equipment tire sizes,recommended inflation pressureand the maximum weight thevehicle can carry.
*Tire Identification Number(TIN): A number on the sidewallof each tire providing informationabout the tire brand andmanufacturing plant, tire size anddate of manufacture. Also referredto as DOT code.
*Inflation pressure: A measureof the amount of air in a tire.
*Standard load: A class ofP-metric or Metric tires designedto carry a maximum load at setpressure. For example: ForP-metric tires 35 psi (2.4 bar) or36 psi (2.5 bar) depending on tiresize and for Metric tires 36 psi(2.5 bar). Increasing the inflationpressure beyond this pressure willnot increase the tire’s loadcarrying capability.
*Extra load: A class of P-metricor Metric tires designed to carry aheavier maximum load at 42 psi(2.9 bar). Increasing the inflationpressure beyond this pressure willnot increase the tire’s loadcarrying capability.
*kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit ofair pressure.
*PSI: Pounds per square inch, astandard unit of air pressure.
*Cold tire pressure: The tirepressure when the vehicle hasbeen stationary and out of directsunlight for an hour or more andprior to the vehicle being driven for1 mile (1.6 km).
*Recommended inflationpressure: The cold inflationpressure found on the SafetyCompliance Certification Label(affixed to either the door hingepillar, door-latch post, or the dooredge that meets the door-latchpost, next to the driver's seatingposition), or Tire Label located onthe B-Pillar or the edge of thedriver’s door.
*B-pillar: The structural memberat the side of the vehicle behindthe front door
* Bead area of the tire: Area ofthe tire next to the rim.
*Sidewall of the tire: Areabetween the bead area and thetread.
*Tread area of the tire: Area ofthe perimeter of the tire thatcontacts the road when mountedon the vehicle.
*Rim: The metal support (wheel)for a tire or a tire and tubeassembly upon which the tire
beads are seated.
