The kit is located under the load floor in
the trunk. The kit consists of an air
compressor to re-inflate the tire and a
canister of sealing compound that will
effectively seal most punctures caused by
nails or similar objects. This kit will provide
a temporary tire repair allowing you to drive
your vehicle up to 120 (200 km) at a
maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to
reach a tire service location.

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 kit if a tire has become
severely damaged. Only punctures located
within the tire tread can be sealed with the
kit.

Do not attempt to repair punctures larger
than ¼ inch (6 millimeters) or damage to
the tire's sidewall. The tire may not
completely seal.

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 mi
(200 km). Drive only to the closest
authorized Ford 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 Kit section to make sure safe
operation of the kit and your vehicle.
