What to do after the Tire has been Sealed

After using the temporary mobility kit to seal your tire, replace the
sealant canister and clear tube (hose). Sealing compound and spare
parts can be obtained and replaced at an authorized Ford Motor
Company dealership or tire dealer. Empty sealant bottles may be
disposed of at home. However, liquid residue from the sealing compound
should be disposed by your local Ford Motor Company dealership or tire
dealer, or in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.

Note: After the sealing compound has been used, the maximum vehicle
speed is 50 mph (80 km/h) and the maximum driving distance is
120 miles (200 km). Inspect the sealed tire immediately.

Note: After sealant use, the TPMS sensor and valve stem on the wheel
must be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer.

You can check the tire pressure any time within the 120 miles (200 km)
by performing the procedure from Second stage: Checking tire
pressure
listed previously.
