operate continuously for more than 15
minutes. This will help prevent the
compressor from overheating.
Note: Do note use the kit if you have
severely damaged a tire. Only seal
punctures located within the tire tread with
the kit.
•
Never leave the kit unattended when
it is operating.
•
•
Keep the kit away from children.
Loss of air pressure may adversely affect
Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -22.0°F
(-30°C) and 157.9°F (70°C).
Only use the sealing compound before
the use-by date which is printed on the
top of sealant bottle.
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

tire performance. For this reason:
•
•
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.
•
Note: Do not drive the vehicle above
50 mph (80 km/h).
What to do when a tire is punctured
Note: Do not drive further than 124 mi
(200 km). Drive only to the closest
authorized Ford dealer or tire repair shop to
have your tire inspected.
A tire puncture within the tire's tread area
can be sealed in two stages with the kit.
•
In the first stage, the tire will be
reinflated with a sealing compound
and air. After the tire has been inflated,
you will need to drive the vehicle
approximately 4 mi (6 km) to distribute
the sealant in the tire.
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. Switch on
the hazard lights.
•
In the second stage, you will need to
check the tire pressure and adjust, if
necessary, to the vehicle's specified
tire inflation pressure.
•
•
•
Always set the parking brake to ensure
the vehicle doesn't move unexpectedly.
Do not remove any foreign objects,
such as nails or screws, from the tire.
When using the kit, if the vehicle is
outdoors or in a well-ventilated area,
leave the engine running so the
compressor does not drain the
vehicle's battery.

First stage: reinflating 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.
WARNING: The power plug may
get hot after use and should be handled
carefully when unplugging.
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. 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 warning label (I) showing
the maximum permissible speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) from the side of the
compressor and place it on the top of
the instrument panel or the center of
the dash in the driver's field of view.
Make sure the label does not obscure
anything important.
2. Pull out the hose (H) and the power
plug with cable (E) from beneath the
kit.
5. Screw the sealant bottle (A) clockwise
into the bottle holder unit fully tight.
3. Unscrew the sealant bottle cap (B). Do
not remove or puncture the seal on the
bottle.
Note: Attaching the sealant bottle to the
compressor pierces the seal. Do not loosen
the bottle as the sealant could escape.
4. Unscrew the orange cap (C).
6. Remove the valve cap from the
damaged tire.
7. Make sure that the compressor switch
(D) is in the OFF position and the
pressure release valve (F) is closed by
turning it fully clockwise.

8. Pull the protective cap (G) from the
hose (H). Fasten the hose to the tire
valve by turning the connector
clockwise. Tighten the connection
securely.
9. Plug the 12 volt DC power point
connector (E) into the 12 volt DC socket
in the vehicle. See Auxiliary Power
Points (page 127).

Note: Some residual sealant fluid may drip
or briefly spray out the hose (H) while you
are disconnecting it. This is normal.
15. Do not remove the sealant bottle
from the compressor. This avoids
leakage of sealant residue.
16. Make sure the kit, the bottle lid and
the orange cap are stored safely in
your vehicle. The kit will be required
again when you check the tire
pressure after driving the vehicle a
short distance.
17. Immediately and cautiously, drive the
vehicle 3.7 mi (6 km) to distribute the
sealant evenly inside the tire. Do not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
12. Inflate the tire for no longer than 15
minutes to an inflation pressure of
minimum 26 psi (1.8 bar) and a

tire pressure.
maximum of 51 psi (3.5 bar). Move
the compressor switch (D) to the OFF
position and check the current tire
pressure with pressure gauge (J).
Note: If you experience any unusual
vibration, ride disturbance or noise while
driving, do not proceed to the second stage
of this operation. Reduce your speed until
you can safely pull off to the side of the road
to call for roadside assistance.
Note: If the tire inflation pressure does not
reach 26 psi (180 kPa) within 15 minutes,
the tire may have suffered excessive
damage, making a temporary repair
impossible. Stop and call roadside
assistance.
Note: When pumping in the sealant through
the tire valve, the pressure may rise up to
87 psi (6 bar) but will drop again after a few
seconds.
Second stage: checking tire
pressure
Check the air pressure of your tires as
follows:
Note: After you have switched the
compressor off, you may hear air escaping
from the damaged tire. This is normal and
can be ignored provided that the specified
minimum tire pressure has been reached.
13. Remove the power plug (E) from the
12-volt power point.
14. Unscrew the hose (H) from the tire
valve and put the protective cap (G)
back in place. Replace the valve cap
on the tire valve.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.

2. Firmly screw the air compressor hose
After using the kit to seal your tire, you will
need to replace the sealant canister and
hose. Sealant canister and hose service
kits can be obtained at an authorized Ford
dealer. Empty sealant canisters may be
disposed of at home. However, canisters
still containing liquid sealant should be
disposed of by your local authorized Ford
dealer or tire dealer, or in accordance with
local waste disposal regulation.
onto the valve stem by turning
clockwise.
3. With the compressor off, the gauge of
the kit will display the tire inflation
pressure.
Note: If you are proceeding from the First
stage: Reinflating the tire with sealing
compound and air section and have injected
sealant in the tire and the pressure is below
20 psi (1.4 bar), stop and call roadside
assistance. If tire pressure is above 20 psi
(1.4 bar), continue to the next step.

4. If required, turn on the compressor and
adjust the tire to the recommended
inflation pressure shown on the tire
label located on the driver's door or
door jamb area. The tire pressure
should be checked with the

compressor turned OFF in order to get
an accurate pressure reading.
5. Unscrew the compressor hose from
the valve stem and re-install the valve
cap. Leaving the sealant bottle
attached to the compressor unit, safely
store in your vehicle the tire sealant and
inflator kit, the bottle lid and the orange
cap.
Tire Quality Grades apply to new
pneumatic passenger car tires.
The tire Quality Grades can be
found where applicable on the tire
sidewall between tread shoulder
and maximum section width. For
example: Treadwear 200
What to do after the tire has been
sealed
Note: After the sealing compound has been
used, the maximum vehicle speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h) and the maximum driving
distance is 124 mi (200 km). The sealed tire
should be inspected immediately.
You can check the tire pressure any time
within the 124 mi (200 km) by performing
the procedure from Second stage:
Checking tire pressure.
Regularly check the tire pressure until the
sealed tire is repaired or replaced by a tire
specialist. Before the tire is removed from
the trim, you must inform the tire specialist
that the tire contains sealant.
Traction AA Temperature A.
These Tire Quality Grades are
determined by standards that the
United States Department of
Transportation has set.
