General Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these guidelines
could result in an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
Note:
Do not use the kit if a tire has become
severely damaged by driving the vehicle with
a tire that has insufficient air pressure. Only
punctured areas located within the tire tread
can be sealed with the kit.
Do not attempt to repair punctures larger
than 0.24 in (6 mm) or damage to the tire's
sidewall. The tire may not completely seal.
Loss of air pressure may adversely affect
tire performance. For this reason:
Note:
Do not drive the vehicle above
50 mph (80 km/h).
Note:
Do not drive further than 120 mi
(200 km). Drive only to the closest
authorized Ford dealer or tire repair shop to
have your tire inspected.
•
Drive carefully and avoid abrupt
steering maneuvers.
•
Periodically monitor tire inflation
pressure in the affected tire. If the tire
is losing pressure, have the vehicle
towed.
•
Read the information in the Tips for
Use of the Kit section to make sure safe
operation of the kit and your vehicle.
Tips for Use of the Kit
To ensure safe operation of the kit:
•
Read all instructions and cautions fully.
•
Before operating the kit, make sure
your vehicle is safely off the road and
away from moving traffic. Turn on the
hazard lights.
•
Always set the parking brake to ensure
the vehicle does not move
unexpectedly.
•
Do not remove any foreign objects,
such as nails or screws, from the tire.
•
When using the kit, leave the engine
running (only if the vehicle is outdoors
or in a well-ventilated area) so the
compressor does not drain the vehicle
battery.
•
Do not allow the compressor to
operate continuously for more than 15
minutes. This will help prevent the
compressor from overheating.
•
Never leave the kit unattended when
it is operating.
•
Sealant compound contains latex.
Make sure that you use the non-latex
gloves provided to avoid an allergic
reaction.
•
Keep the kit away from children.
•
Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -22°F (-30°C)
and 158°F (70°C).
•
Only use the sealing compound before
the use by date. The use by date is on
the lower right hand corner of the label
located on the sealant canister
(bottle). Check the use by date
regularly and replace the canister after
four years.
•
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, the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor and valve
stem on the wheel must be replaced
by an authorized Ford dealer.
•
When inflating a tire or other objects,
use the black air hose only. Do not use
the transparent hose which is designed
for sealant application only.
•
Operating the kit could cause an
electrical disturbance in radio, CD, and
DVD player operation.
