CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER
WARNING
Do not start the engine with the air filter
removed. This can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle Warranty and can
result in serious injury. Only use the specified replacement air filter.
See Capacities and Specifications (page
367).
Change the air filter element at the correct
interval. See Scheduled Maintenance (page
495
).
When changing the engine air filter, do not
allow debris or foreign material to enter the
air induction system. The engine and
turbocharger are susceptible to damage from
even small particles. Note:
Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. Resulting component damage may
not be covered by the vehicle Warranty. 1. Release the clamps that secure the air
filter cover to the housing.
2. Carefully lift the air filter housing cover.
3. Remove the air filter element from the air
filter housing.
4. Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter housing and cover to make sure no dirt
gets in the engine and that you have a
good seal. 5.
Install a new air filter element. Be careful
not to crimp the filter element edges
between the air filter housing and cover.
This could cause filter damage and allow
unfiltered air to enter the engine if it is
not properly seated.
6. Install the air filter housing cover.
7. Engage the clips to secure the air filter housing cover to the air filter housing.

Loss of air pressure may adversely affect tire
performance. For this reason:
Note:
Do not drive the vehicle above 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Note: Do not drive further than
120 mi
(200 km). Drive only to the closest authorized
Ford dealer or tire repair shop to have your
tire inspected.
• Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering
maneuvers.
• Periodically monitor tire inflation pressure
in the affected tire; if the tire is losing
pressure, have the vehicle towed.
• Read the information in the Tips for Use
of the Kit section to make sure safe
operation 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 sure your
vehicle is safely off the road and away
from moving traffic. Turn on the hazard
lights. •
Always set the parking brake to ensure
the 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 engine
running (only if the vehicle is outdoors or
in a well-ventilated area) so the
compressor does not drain the vehicle's
battery.
• Do not allow the compressor to operate
continuously for more than 15 minutes.
This will help prevent the compressor
from overheating.
• Never leave the kit unattended during
operation.
• Sealant compound contains latex. Those
with latex sensitivities should use
appropriate precautions to avoid an
allergic reaction.
• Keep the kit away from children.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -22°F (-30°C) and
158°F (70°C)
. •
Only use the sealing compound before
the 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.

What to do when a Tire Is Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread area
can be repaired in two stages with the kit:
•
In the first stage, the tire will be reinflated
with a sealing compound and air. After
the tire has been inflated, you will need
to drive the vehicle about 3.7 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's specified tire
inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire with
Sealing Compound and Air WARNING
Do not stand directly beside the tire
while the compressor is operating. This
could cause personal injury if the tire bursts. Note:
If the tire does not inflate to the
recommended tire pressure within 15
minutes, stop and call roadside assistance. WARNINGS
Watch the sidewall of the tire when
inflating. If any cracks, bumps or similar
damage appears, switch the compressor off
and let the air out by means of the pressure
relief valve. Do not continue driving with this
tire. This could cause loss of vehicle control. Do not run the engine when operating
the air compressor 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.
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. 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.

mechanical lock. 9. If your vehicle has a wheel trim, use the
tool supplied to remove it and access the
lug nuts.
10. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise, but do not
remove them until the wheel is raised
off the ground.

the wrench feature as shown. Swing
the wrench upward and adjust the
height of the jack until the pin engages
the hole. Tighten the hex nut clockwise
by hand until secure. 18. Put the flat tire, jack and lug wrench
away. Make sure the jack is fastened
securely before you drive.

Stowing the Flat Tire
You can temporarily stow the full-size road
wheel in the spare tire compartment.
1.
Lift the carpeted wheel cover at an angle
to access the spare tire compartment. 2.
Place the wheel in the spare tire well with

jack bolt-down bracket through the
centre of the wheel. Finally, wind the
wheel retainer down to secure the wheel
in place.

5. Replace the carpeted wheel cover.
Stowing the Flat Tire Using the
Retainer Strap (If Equipped)
You can temporarily stow the full-size road
wheel in the spare tire compartment.
1. Find the flat tire retainer strap tucked inside the jack channel. 2.
Locate the jack bolt-down bracket. Push
the retainer strap through the jack
bolt-down bracket.
3. Put the jack and lug wrench away. Make
sure the jack is fastened so it does not
rattle when you drive.
