A warning lamp illuminates and
a message may appear in the
information display.
If the engine reaches a preset
over-temperature condition, the engine
automatically switches to alternating
cylinder operation. Each disabled cylinder
acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs, your vehicle still
operates, however:
• Engine power is limited.
• The air conditioning system turns off.
Continued operation increases the engine
temperature, causing the engine to
completely shut down. Your steering and
braking effort increases in this situation.
When the engine temperature cools, you
can re-start the engine. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated WARNING: Fail-safe mode is for
use during emergencies only. Operate
your vehicle in fail-safe mode only as
long as necessary to bring your vehicle
to rest in a safe location and seek
immediate repairs. When in fail-safe
mode, your vehicle will have limited
power, will not be able to maintain
high-speed operation, and may
completely shut down without warning,
potentially losing engine power, power
steering assist, and power brake assist,
which may increase the possibility of a
crash resulting in serious injury. WARNING:
Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap
with a thick cloth to prevent the
possibility of scalding and slowly remove
the cap. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury.
Your vehicle has limited engine power
when in the fail-safe mode, drive your
vehicle with caution. Your vehicle does not
maintain high-speed operation and the
engine may operate poorly.
Remember that the engine is capable of
automatically shutting down to prevent
engine damage. In this situation:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and switch the engine off.
2. If you are a member of a roadside assistance program, we recommend
that you contact your roadside
assistance service provider.
3. If this is not possible, wait for a short period of time for the engine to cool.
4. Check the coolant level. If the coolant level is at or below the minimum mark,
add prediluted coolant immediately.
5. When the engine temperature cools, you can re-start the engine. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible to
minimize engine damage.
Note: Driving your vehicle without repair
increases the chance of engine damage.

11.
Disconnect the tire inflation pipe and
the 12 volt DC power point connector.
Note: Do not remove the sealant bottle
from the compressor.
12. Reinstall the tire valve dust cap.
13. Place the warning label on the steering wheel and correctly stow the
kit.14. Immediately drive your vehicle for
2–6 mi (3– 10 km). Do not exceed
50 mph (80 km/h). 15. After driving between
2
–6 mi
(3– 10 km), stop your vehicle and
recheck the tire pressure. See Tire
Pressures (page 334).
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.

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.
When inflating the tire for
mounting pressures up to 20 psi
(1.38 bar) greater than the
maximum pressure on the tire
sidewall, the following
precautions must be taken to
protect the person mounting the
tire:
1. Make sure that you have the
correct tire and wheel size.
2. Lubricate the tire bead and
wheel bead seat area again.
3. Stand at a minimum of 12 ft
(3.66 m) away from the wheel
and tire assembly.
4. Use both eye and ear
protection.
For a mounting pressure more
than 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater
than the maximum pressure, a
Ford dealer or other tire service
professional should do the
mounting.
