Note: If you experience any unusual
vibration, ride disturbance or noise while

safely pull off to the side of the road to call

proceed to the second stage of this
operation.

Second Stage: Checking Tire
Pressure

WARNINGS

If you are proceeding from the First
Stage: Re-inflating 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),
continue to the next step.

The power plug may get hot after use
and should be handled carefully
while unplugging.

Check the air pressure of your tires as
follows:

E175983

1.

Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.

2. Firmly screw the air compressor hose

onto the valve stem by turning
clockwise.

3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the

air position.

4. If required, switch 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. You
should check the tire pressure with the
compressor turned OFF in order to get
an accurate pressure reading.

5. Unplug the hoses, re-install the valve

cap on the tire and return the kit to the
stowage area.

What to Do After the Tire has Been

Sealed

After using the kit to seal your tire, you will
need to replace the sealant canister. You
can obtain sealant canisters and spare
parts at an authorized Ford dealer. You can
dispose of empty sealant canisters at
home. However, you should dispose of
canisters still containing liquid sealant
through your local authorized Ford dealer
or tire dealer, or in accordance with local
waste disposal regulation.

Note: After you use the sealing compound,
the maximum vehicle speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h) and the maximum driving
distance is 120 mi (200 km). You should
inspect the sealed tire immediately.

You can check the tire pressure any time
within the 120 mi (200 km) by performing
the steps listed previously in the Second
Stage: Checking Tire Pressure procedure.
