Tire inflation kit
Your vehicle is equipped with an emergency tire inflation kit (located in
the luggage compartment). The inflation kit consists of an air compressor
to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound that will effectively seal
most punctures caused by nails or similar objects. This kit will provide a
temporary seal allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 120 miles at a
maximum speed of 50 mph.
Note:
The inflation kit is to be used for one tire only. See your dealer for
additional kits.
General information
It is possible that, especially with tire punctures larger than
1
⁄
4
inch or
damage to the tire’s sidewall, a tire can not be completely sealed.
Note:
Do not use the tire inflation kit if a tire has become severely
damaged by driving the vehicle with a tire that has insufficient air
pressure or is totally flat. Only punctured areas located within the tire
tread can be sealed with the tire inflation kit.
For safety reasons,
damage to the sidewall must not be repaired.
Loss of air pressure may adversely affect tire performance. For this
reason:
•
Do not
drive the vehicle above 50 mph.
•
Do not
drive further than 120 miles. Drive only to the closest Ford
Motor Company dealership or tire dealer.
