Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, leveland secure area, away from moving traffic.
Switch the hazard lights on. Apply theparking brake and switch the engine off.Inspect the flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. Useappropriate precautions to avoid any allergicreactions.
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 tire valve.
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. Tightenthe connection securely.
4. Plug the power cable into the 12-voltpower point in the vehicle.
5.Remove the warning sticker found on thecasing/housing and place it on the top ofthe instrument panel or the center of thedash.
6. Start the vehicle and leave the enginerunning so the compressor does notdrain the vehicle’s battery.

7. Turn dial (A) clockwise to the sealantposition. Switch the kit on by pressingthe on/off button (B).
8. Inflate the tire to the pressure listed onthe tire label located on the driver's dooror the door jamb area. The initial airpressure gauge reading may indicate avalue higher than the label pressurewhile you pump the sealing compoundinto the tire. This is normal and shouldbe no reason for concern. The pressuregauge reading will indicate the tireinflation pressure after about 30 secondsof operation. You should check the finaltire pressure with the compressor turnedOFF in order to get an accurate pressurereading.
9.When the tire reaches the recommendedtire pressure, switch off the kit, unplugthe power cable, and disconnect thehose from the tire valve. Re-install thevalve cap on the tire valve and return thekit to the stowage area.
10. Immediately and cautiously, drive thevehicle 4 mi (6 km) to distribute thesealant evenly inside the tire. Do notexceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
11. After 4 mi (6 km), stop and check thetire pressure. See Second Stage:Checking Tire Pressure.
Note:If you experience any unusualvibration, ride disturbance or noise whiledriving, reduce your speed until you cansafely pull off to the side of the road to callfor roadside assistance. Note: Do notproceed to the second stage of thisoperation.

Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure
Note:If you are proceeding from the FirstStage: Re-inflating the Tire with SealingCompound and Air section and have injectedsealant in the tire and the pressure is below20 psi (1.4 bar), continue to the next step.
WARNING
The power plug may get hot after useand should be handled carefully whenunplugging.
Check the air pressure of your tires asfollows:
1.Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2. Firmly screw the air compressor hoseonto the valve stem by turning clockwise.
3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to theair position.
4.If required, switch on the compressor andadjust the tire to the recommendedinflation pressure shown on the tire labellocated on the driver's door or door jambarea. You should check the tire pressurewith the compressor turned OFF in orderto get an accurate pressure reading.
5.Unplug the hoses, re-install the valve capon 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. Youcan obtain sealant canisters and spare partsat an authorized Ford dealer. You candispose of empty sealant canisters at home.However, you should dispose of canistersstill containing liquid sealant through yourlocal authorized Ford dealer or tire dealer,or in accordance with local waste disposalregulation.
Note:After you use the sealing compound,the maximum vehicle speed is 50 mph(80 km/h) and the maximum driving distanceis 120 mi (200 km). You should inspect thesealed tire immediately.
You can check the tire pressure any timewithin the 120 mi (200 km) by performing thesteps listed previously in the Second Stage:Checking Tire Pressure procedure.

Note:Passengers should not remain in yourvehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parkingbrake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) andturn the engine off.
3.Block both the front and rear of the wheeldiagonally opposite the flat tire. Forexample, if the left front tire is flat, blockthe right rear wheel.
4. Lift and remove the carpeted load floorpanel to access the mini-spare and jackkit.
5. Remove the steel winged washer nutsecuring the spare tire by turning itcounterclockwise.
6.Remove the spare tire from the spare tirecompartment.
7. Remove plastic wing nut and jack andlug wrench assembly. Detach lug wrenchfrom jack by turning the jack hex nutdrive screw counterclockwise.
8.Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turncounterclockwise, but do not removethem until the wheel is raised off theground.
9. The vehicle jacking points are depictedby arrows on the underside of the vehicleat the locations shown above.
10. Find the arrows embossed on thevehicle downward flange next to thetire you are changing. Position the jackso that the vehicle downward flangerests in the jack saddle flange betweenthe arrows, as shown above. Raise thevehicle by using the lug wrench to turnthe jack nut clockwise. Once the flat tireis raised above the ground, remove thelug nuts with the lug wrench.

12. Lower the wheel by turning the jackhandle counterclockwise.
13. Remove the jack and fully tighten thelug nuts in the order shown. SeeTechnical Specifications (page 379).
14. Fold up the wrench/jack handle andre-attach to the jack. Re-positionjack/wrench assembly into the originalvehicle position and secure with theplastic wing nut. Make sure the jack isfastened securely before you drive.
15. Unblock the wheel.
Stowing the flat tire
You cannot store the full-sized road wheelin the temporary spare tire well.
1. Find the flat tire retainer strap tuckedinside the jack channel. Lower thecarpeted load floor.
2.Stow the flat tire in the cargo area on theload floor with the wheel facing up.Secure the flat tire with the retainer strapby following the next steps.
3. Locate the rear left side and right sidecargo tie-down rings. Push the loop endof the retainer strap through one cargotie-down ring. Thread the non-loop endthrough the loop.
4. Weave the retainer strap through thewheel openings.
