–6 mi
(3– 10 km), stop your vehicle and
recheck the tire pressure. See Tire
Pressures (page 324).
Note: If the tire pressure has dropped to
26 psi (1.8 bar)
or below, the tire could be
damaged beyond a temporary repair. Have
your vehicle immediately checked. Do not
drive your vehicle.
Note: If the tire pressure has dropped but
is still above
26 psi (1.8 bar), use the kit to
inflate the tire again.
After Using the Tire Sealant and
Inflator Kit WARNING:
If you experience heavy
vibrations, unsteady steering behavior or
noises while driving, reduce your speed
gradually and stop your vehicle as soon as
it is safe to do so. Recheck the tire and its
pressure. If the tire pressure is less than
18.9 psi (1.3 bar)
or if there are any cracks,
bumps or similar damage visible, do not
continue driving with this tire. This could
cause loss of vehicle control.
The kit only provides temporary mobility.
Regulations concerning tire repair or
replacement after using the kit could differ
from country to country. We recommend
you consult a tire specialist.
After using the kit:
• Do not drive your vehicle more than
124 mi (200 km)
before repairing or
replacing the punctured tire.
• Inform all other users of your vehicle
that a tire was sealed using the kit.
Make them aware of the special driving
conditions that must be observed.

describes the fundamental
characteristics of the tire and also
provides a U.S. DOT Tire
Identification Number for safety
standard certification and in case
of a recall.
This begins with the letters DOT
and indicates that the tire meets
all federal standards. The next
two numbers or letters are the
plant code designating where it
was manufactured, the next two
are the tire size code and the last
four numbers represent the week
and year the tire was built. For
example, the numbers 317 mean
the 31st week of 1997. After 2000
the numbers go to four digits. For
example, 2501 means the 25th
week of 2001. The numbers in
between are identification codes
used for traceability. This
information is used to contact
customers if a tire defect requires
a recall.
Tire Replacement
Requirements
Your vehicle is equipped with tires
designed to provide a safe ride
and handling capability.
WARNING: Only use
replacement tires and wheels that
are the same size, load index,
speed rating and type (such as
P-metric versus LT-metric or
all-season versus all-terrain) as
those originally provided by Ford.
The recommended tire and wheel size may be found on either the
Safety Compliance Certification
Label (affixed to either the door
hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the
door edge that meets the
door-latch post, next to the
driver's seating position), or the
Tire Label which is located on the
B-Pillar or edge of the driver
’s
door. If this information is not
found on these labels, then you
should contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible. Use of
any tire or wheel not
recommended by Ford can affect
the safety and performance of
your vehicle, which could result in
an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death. Additionally the
use of non-recommended tires
and wheels could cause steering,
suspension, axle, transfer case or
power transfer unit failure. If you
have questions regarding tire
replacement, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as
possible. WARNING:
When mounting
replacement tires and wheels, you
should not exceed the maximum
pressure indicated on the sidewall
of the tire to set the beads without
additional precautions listed
below. If the beads do not seat at
the maximum pressure indicated,
re-lubricate and try again.
