3. Turn the air compressor off by pressing the “O” side of the orange
button, then unscrew the hose from the tire’s air valve, reinstall the tire
valve cap, unplug the electrical plug from the power point and stow the
inflation kit in its proper place.
What to do after the tire has been sealed
After using the inflation kit to seal you tire, you will need to replace the
sealing compound and hose. Sealing compound and spare parts can be
obtained and replaced at an authorized Ford Motor Company dealership
or tire dealer. Empty sealing compound bottles may be disposed of at
home; however, liquid residue from the sealing compound should be
disposed by your local Ford Motor Company dealership 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 and the maximum driving distance is 120 miles. The
sealed tire should be replaced immediately, or at least within the 120
miles.
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.
You can check the tire pressure any time within the 120 miles by
performing the following:
1. Ensure the compressor is turned off by pressing the “O” side of the
orange button.
2. Remove the hose and the cable with the electrical plug from the kit’s
storage compartment.
3. Remove the valve cap from the sealed tire, then screw the hose firmly
onto the tire’s air valve.
4. Insert the electrical plug into the vehicle’s power point.
5. Start the engine
(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area)
to prevent the vehicle’s battery from draining.
6. Read the air pressure gauge on the inflation kit.
If the tire pressure needs to be increased, operate the air compressor
and inflate the tire to the recommended pressure as indicated on the
label on the B-Pillar.
