Loss of air pressure may adversely affect tire performance. For this reason:
Note: Do not drive the vehicle above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Note: Do not drive further than 120 miles (200 kilometers). Drive

only to the closest Ford Motor Company authorized dealer or tire
repair shop to have your tire inspected.

• 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 Temporary Mobility

Kit section to ensure safe operation of the temporary mobility kit and
your vehicle.

Tips for Use of the Temporary Mobility Kit

Read the following list of tips to ensure safe operation of the temporary
mobility kit:
• Before operating the temporary mobility kit, make sure your vehicle is

safely off the road and away from moving traffic. Turn on the hazard
lights.

• Always set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle does not move

unexpectedly.

• Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the tire.
• When using the temporary mobility kit, leave the engine running (only

if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area) so the
compressor does not drain the vehicle’s battery.

• Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than

15 minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.

• Never leave the temporary mobility kit unattended when it is operating.
• Sealant compound contains latex. Make sure that you use the

non-latex gloves provided to avoid an allergic reaction.

• Keep the temporary mobility kit away from children.
• Only use the temporary mobility kit when the ambient temperature is

between -22°F (–30°C) and 158°F (70°C).

• Only use the sealing compound before the use by date. The use by

date is on the lower right hand corner of the label located on the
sealant canister (bottle). Note: Check the use by date regularly and
replace the canister after four years.
