•
When inflating a tire or other objects,
use the black air hose only. Do not use
the transparent hose which is designed
for sealant application only.
• Operating the kit could cause an
electrical disturbance in radio, CD, and
DVD player operation.
What to do when a Tire Is
Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire 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
reinflated, you will need to drive the
vehicle a short distance 4 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 tire inflation
pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire
with Sealing Compound and Air WARNING: Do not stand directly
over the kit while inflating the tire. If you
notice any unusual bulges or
deformations in the tire's sidewall during
inflation, stop and call roadside
assistance. WARNING:
If the tire does not
inflate to the recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside
assistance.
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. To
avoid any allergic reactions, use the
non-latex gloves in the accessory box on
the underside of the kit housing.
Do not remove any foreign object that has
pierced the tire. If a puncture is in the tire
sidewall, stop and call roadside assistance.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
2. Unwrap the clear tube from the compressor housing.
3. Remove the tube cap and fasten the metal connector of the tube to the tire
valve, turning clockwise. Make sure the
connection is tightly fastened. 4. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt
power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker on the canister and place it on the top of the
instrument panel or the center of the
dash.
6. Start the vehicle only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

7. Push and turn dial (A)
counterclockwise to the sealant
position. Turn on the kit by pressing the
on/off button (B). 8.
Inflate the tire to the pressure specified
by the tire label on the driver's door or
the door jamb area. When the sealant
compound is being pumped into the
tire, the air pressure gauge will indicate
a pressure above the actual tire
pressure. This is normal and should be
no reason for concern. The pressure
gauge will provide a correct tire
pressure reading after about 30
seconds of operation. The tire pressure
has to be checked with the compressor
in the OFF position to get an accurate
tire pressure reading. 9. When the recommended tire pressure
is reached, turn off the kit by pressing
the on button. Disconnect the kit from
the tire valve and the power point.
Re-install the valve cap on the tire
valve, place the tube cap on the metal
connector, and return the kit to the
stowage area
10. Immediately and cautiously, drive the
vehicle 4 mi (6 km) to distribute the
sealant evenly inside the tire. Do not
exceed
50 mph (80 km/h).
11. After 4 mi (6 km), 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
Note: 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)
, stop and call roadside
assistance. If tire pressure is above 20 psi
(1.4 bar), continue to the next step. WARNING:
The power plug may
get hot after use and should be handled
carefully when unplugging.
Check the air pressure of your tires as
follows:
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2. Unhook the black hose from the side of the compressor and fasten firmly on
the valve stem by turning clockwise.

3.
Push and turn the dial clockwise to the
air position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on button. 4. Adjust the tire to the recommended
inflation pressure from the tire label on
the driver's door or door jamb area. The
tire pressure has to be checked with
the compressor in the OFF position to
get the correct tire pressure reading.
5. Turn the compressor off by pressing the on/off button.
6. When the tire pressure reading with the
compressor in the off position is
correct, disconnect the hose, re-install
the valve cap on the tire valve, unplug
the compressor, 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 and
clear tube (hose). You can obtain and
replace sealing compound and spare parts
at an authorized Ford dealer or tire dealer.
Empty sealant bottles may be disposed of
at home. However, liquid residue from the
sealing compound should be disposed by
your local authorized Ford dealer or tire
dealer, or in accordance with local waste
disposal regulations. Note:
After the sealing compound has been
used, the maximum vehicle speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h) and the maximum driving
distance is 120 mi (200 km). The sealed tire
should be inspected immediately.
Note: After sealant use, the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor and valve stem
on the wheel must be replaced by an
authorized Ford dealer.
You can check the tire pressure any time
within the 120 mi (200 km) by performing
the procedure from Second stage:
Checking tire pressure listed previously.
Removal of the sealant canister from
the kit 1. Unwrap the clear tube from the
compressor housing. 2.
Locate the yellow cap at the end of the
clear tube.

WARNING: To help prevent your
vehicle from moving when changing a
wheel, shift the transmission into park
(P), set the parking brake and use an
appropriate block or wheel chock to
secure the wheel diagonally opposite to
the wheel being changed. For example,
when changing the front left wheel,
place an appropriate block or wheel
chock on the right rear wheel. WARNING:
Do not work on your
vehicle when the jack is the only support.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured. WARNING:
Do not attempt to
change a tire on the side of the vehicle
close to moving traffic. Pull far enough
off the road to avoid the danger of being
hit when operating the jack or changing
the wheel. WARNING:
Always use the jack
provided as original equipment with your
vehicle. If using a jack other than the one
provided, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight,
including any vehicle cargo or
modifications. If you are unsure if the jack
capacity is adequate, contact the
authorized dealer.
Note: Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Note: Jack at the specified locations to
avoid damage to the vehicle.
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 the diagonally opposite wheel.
4. Lift the trunk cargo cover and remove
the wing nut that secures the spare tire
by turning it counterclockwise.
5. Lift and remove the spare tire from the
trunk.

6. Remove the second wing nut that
secures the jack retention bracket by
turning it counterclockwise, then
remove the jack kit from your vehicle.
7. Remove the jack and the wrench from the felt bag. Fold down the wrench
socket used to loosen the lug nuts and
to operate the jack.
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 shown
here, and are depicted on the warning
label on the jack. Small arrow-shaped
marks on the sills show the location of
the jacking points. 10. Raise the wheel by turning the jack
handle clockwise. 11. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.
12. 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.
13. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. 14.
Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. See
Technical Specifications (page
291).
Stowing the jack and flat tire
1. Remove the extension bolt from the exterior pocket of the felt bag.
