• Only use the sealing compound before
the use-by date. The use-by date is on a
label on the sealant canister, which you
can see through the rectangular viewing
window on the bottom of the compressor.
Check the use-by date regularly and
replace the canister after four years of
non-use.
• Do not store the kit unsecured inside the
passenger compartment of the vehicle
as it may cause injury during a sudden
stop or crash. Always store the kit in its
original location.
• After sealant use, an authorized Ford
dealer must replace the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor and valve stem
on the wheel.
• Operating the kit could cause an
electrical disturbance in radio, CD and
DVD player operation.

* When inflation only is required for
a tire or other objects, the selector
must be in the Air position.
What to do When a Tire Is Punctured
You can repair a tire puncture within the tire's
tread area in two stages with the kit.
• In the first stage, inflate the tire with a
sealing compound and air. After you
inflate the tire, 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, check the tire
pressure and adjust, if necessary, to the
vehicle's specified tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Inflating 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.
WARNING: Do not run the engine
when operating the air compressor unless
the vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area.
Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, level
and secure area, away from moving traffic.
Switch the hazard lights on. Apply the
parking brake and switch the engine off.
Inspect the flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. Use
appropriate precautions to avoid any allergic
reactions.
Do not remove any foreign object that has
pierced the tire. If a puncture is located in
the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside
assistance.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black
tube) from the back of the compressor
housing.
3. Fasten the hose to the tire valve by
turning the connector clockwise. Tighten
the connection securely.
