Loss of air pressure may adversely affecttire performance. For this reason:
•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.

•After sealant use, an authorized Forddealer must replace the tire pressuremonitoring system sensor and valvestem on the wheel.
•Operating the kit could cause anelectrical disturbance in radio, CD, andDVD player operation.
What to do when a tire is punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread areacan be sealed 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 vehicleapproximately 4 mi (6 km) to distributethe sealant in 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 tire withsealing 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.

The tires on your vehicle may haveall-weather treads to provide traction inrain and snow. However, in some climatesyou may need to use snow chains. If youneed to use chains, it is recommended thatsteel wheels (of the same size andspecification) be used, as chains may chipaluminum wheels. Follow these guidelineswhen using traction devices:
•Use 0.3937 in (10 mm) or less indimension as measured on the sidewallof your tire with 205/60 R16 92H or205/50 R17 93H XL. Not all S-classsnow chains meet these restrictions.Chains of this size restriction willinclude a tensioning device. (AnyLincoln or Ford passenger vehicle).
•The snow chains or cables must bemounted in pairs on only on the frontaxle.
•Purchase chains or cables from amanufacturer that clearly labels bodyto tire dimension restrictions.
•When installing tire chains or cables,make sure they are the proper size forthe tires on your vehicle and areinstalled according to the chainmanufacturer’s suggestions.
•Install cables securely, verifying thatthe cables do not extend beyond thewheel or touch the wheel, any wiring,brake lining.
•If possible, avoid fully loading yourvehicle.
•When driving with snow chains orcables, do not exceed 30 mph(48 km/h) or the maximum speedrecommended by the chainmanufacturer; whichever is less.
•Drive cautiously. If you hear the chainsor cables rub or bang against thevehicle, stop and retighten them. If thisdoes not work, remove the chains orcables and prevent vehicle damage.
•Remove the chains or cables when theyare no longer needed. Do not use thechains or cables on dry roads.
•If a temporary spare tire is mounted onyour vehicle, do not use snow chainson the axle with the temporary sparetire.
If you have any questions regarding snowtires or snow chains, please contact yourauthorized dealer.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNING
The tire pressure monitoring systemis not a substitute for manuallychecking tire pressures. You shouldperiodically check tire pressures using apressure gauge. Failure to correctlymaintain tire pressures could increase therisk of tire failure, loss of control, vehiclerollover and personal injury.
Note: You should only use tire sealants inroadside emergencies as they may causedamage to the tire pressure monitoringsystem sensor.
Note: If the tire pressure monitoring systemsensor becomes damaged, it may notfunction.
Each tire, including the spare (ifprovided), should be checkedmonthly when cold and inflatedto the inflation pressure recommended bythe vehicle manufacturer on the vehicleplacard or tire inflation pressure label. (Ifyour vehicle has tires of a different sizethan the size indicated on the vehicleplacard or tire inflation pressure label, youshould determine the proper tire inflationpressure for those tires).
