4.
On the wall or screen you will observe a
flat zone of high intensity light located at
the top of the right hand portion of the
beam pattern. If the top edge of the high
intensity light zone is not at the horizontal
reference line, the headlamp will need
to be adjusted. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Using a Phillips #2
screwdriver, turn the adjuster either
clockwise or counterclockwise in order
to adjust the vertical aim of the
headlamp. The horizontal edge of the
brighter light should touch the horizontal
reference line.
6. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
CHANGING A BULB WARNINGS
Switch all of the lamps and the ignition
off. Failure to follow this warning could
result in serious personal injury. Bulbs become hot when in use. Let
them cool down before you remove
them. Use the correct specification bulb.
See Bulb Specification Chart (page 327).
Install in the reverse order unless otherwise
stated.

These lamps operate at a high voltage. See
an authorized dealer if they fail.
LED Lamps
LED lamps are not serviceable items. See an
authorized dealer if they fail.
The following lamps are LED:
• Front parking lamps.
• Front side marker lamps.
• Front signature lamps.
• Daytime running lamps.
• Side direction indicators. •
Rear side marker lamps.
• Brake and rear lamps.
• Central high mounted brake lamp.

BULB SPECIFICATION CHART
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart
below. Headlamp bulbs must be marked with
an authorized D.O.T. marking for North
America to make sure they have the proper
lamp performance, light brightness, light
pattern, and safe visibility. The correct bulbs
will not damage the lamp assembly or void
the lamp assembly warranty and will provide
quality bulb illumination time.

WARNINGS
Do not run the engine during kit
operation unless the vehicle is
outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, level
and secure area, away from moving traffic.
Switch the hazard lights on. Apply the
parking brake and switch the engine off.
Inspect the flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. Use
appropriate precautions to avoid any allergic
reactions.
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 dual purpose hose (black tube) from the back of the compressor
housing.
3. Fasten the hose to the tire valve by turning the connector clockwise. Tighten
the connection securely. 4. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt
power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found on the
casing/housing and place it on the top of
the instrument panel or the center of the
dash. 6. Start the vehicle and leave the engine
running so the compressor does not
drain the vehicle ’s battery. 346

7. Turn dial (A) clockwise to the sealant
position. Switch the kit on by pressing
the on/off 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. The initial air
pressure gauge reading may indicate a
value higher than the label pressure
while you pump the sealing compound
into the tire. This is normal and should
be no reason for concern. The pressure
gauge reading will indicate the tire
inflation pressure after about 30 seconds
of operation. You should check the final
tire pressure with the compressor turned
OFF in order to get an accurate pressure
reading. 9.
When the tire reaches the recommended
tire pressure, switch off the kit, unplug
the power cable, and disconnect the
hose from the tire valve. Re-install the
valve cap on the tire valve 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), 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. Firmly screw the air compressor hose
onto the valve stem by turning clockwise.
3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the air position.
4. If required, switch 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. You should check the tire pressure
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. You
can obtain sealant canisters and spare parts
at an authorized Ford dealer. You can
dispose of empty sealant canisters at home.
However, you should dispose of canisters
still containing liquid sealant through your
local authorized Ford dealer or tire dealer,
or in accordance with local waste disposal
regulation.
Note:
After you use the sealing compound,
the maximum vehicle speed is
50 mph
(80 km/h) and the maximum driving distance
is
120 mi (200 km). You should inspect the
sealed tire 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:
Checking Tire Pressure procedure.

Note:
Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) and turn the engine off. 3.
Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the flat tire. For
example, if the left front tire is flat, block
the right rear wheel.
4. Lift and remove the carpeted load floor panel to access the minispare and jack
kit. 5. Remove the steel winged washer nut
securing the spare tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
6. Remove the spare tire from the spare tire
compartment.
7. Remove plastic wing nut and jack and lug wrench assembly. Detach lug wrench
from jack by turning the jack hex nut
drive screw counterclockwise.
8. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn
counterclockwise, but do not remove
them until the wheel is raised off the
ground. 9. The vehicle jacking points are depicted
by arrows on the underside of the vehicle
at the locations shown above. 10. Position the jack so that the vehicle
downward flange rests in the jack
saddle flange as shown above. Raise
the vehicle by using the lug wrench to
turn the jack nut clockwise. Once the
flat tire is raised above the ground,
remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.

11.
Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the
wheel is snug against the hub. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel
has been lowered.
12. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. 13. Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. See
Technical Specifications (page 377).
14. Fold up the wrench/jack handle and re-attach to the jack. Re-position
jack/wrench assembly into the original
vehicle position and secure with the
plastic wing nut. Make sure the jack is
fastened securely before you drive.
15. Unblock the wheel.
Stowing the flat tire
You cannot store the full-sized road wheel
in the temporary spare tire well.
1. Find the flat tire retainer strap tucked inside the jack channel. Lower the
carpeted load floor.
2. Stow the flat tire in the cargo area on the
load floor with the wheel facing up.
Secure the flat tire with the retainer strap
by following the next steps. 3. Locate the rear left side and right side
cargo tie-down rings. Push the loop end
of the retainer strap through one cargo
tie-down ring. Thread the non-loop end
through the loop.
4. Weave the retainer strap through the wheel openings.
5. Locate the cargo tie-down in the opposite
rear corner of the cargo area. Thread the
retainer strap though the tie-down and
pull tight.
