• Do not store the temporary mobility kit unsecured inside the

passenger compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a

sudden stop or collision. Always store the kit in its original location.

• After sealant use, the TPMS 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 temporary mobility kit could cause an electrical

disturbance in radio, CD, and DVD player operation (if equipped). .

What to Do When a Tire Is Punctured

A tire puncture within the tire’s tread area can be repaired in two stages

with the temporary mobility kit:

• In the first stage, the tire will be reinflated with a sealing compound

and air. After the tire has been reinflated, you will need to drive the

vehicle a short distance (approximately 4 miles [6 kilometers]) to

distribute the sealant in the tire.

• In the second stage, you will need to check the tire pressure and

adjust, if necessary, to the vehicle’s tire inflation pressure.

First Stage: Reinflating the Tire with Sealing Compound and Air

WARNING: Do not stand directly over the temporary mobility

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.

Preparation

Park the vehicle in a safe, level and secure area, away from moving

traffic. Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking brake and turn the

engine off. Inspect the flat tire for visible damage.

Sealant compound contains latex. To avoid any allergic reactions, use the

non-latex gloves located in the accessory box on the underside of the

temporary mobility kit housing.

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.
