FORD 2015 Taurus - Manual (Page 346)

TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT (IF EQUIPPED)
Note: The temporary mobility kit sealant compound in the canister is to
be used for one tire only. See your Ford authorized dealer for additional
replacement sealant canisters.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a temporary mobility kit (located in
the spare tire well in the trunk). The temporary mobility kit consists of
an air compressor to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound in a
canister 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 (200 km) at a maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).

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 temporary mobility 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 temporary mobility kit.
Do not attempt to repair punctures larger than 1 ⁄
4
inch (6 millimeters) or
damage to the tire’s sidewall. The tire may not completely seal.
