Tire inflation kit
Your vehicle is equipped with an emergency tire inflation kit, which is
located in the luggage comparment, that allows you to drive your vehicle
up to 120 miles, at a maximum speed of 50 mph, after a tire has become
punctured by providing a temporary seal for the tire. The inflation kit
consists of a sealing compound which will effectively seal most punctures
caused by nails, or similar objects and an air compressor to reinflate the
tire.
Note: The inflation kit is to be used for one tire only. See your dealer for
additional kits.
General information
It is possible that, especially with tire punctures larger than
1
⁄
4
inch or
damage to the tire’s sidewall, a tire can not be completely sealed.
Note: Do not use the tire inflation kit if a tire has become severely
damaged by driving the vehicle with a tire that has insufficient air
pressure or is totally flat. Only punctured areas located within the tire
tread can be sealed with the tire inflation kit. For safety reasons,
damage to the sidewall must not be repaired.
Loss of air pressure may adversely affect tire performance. For this
reason:
• Do not drive the vehicle above 50 mph
• Do not drive further than 120 miles. Drive only to the closest Ford
Motor Company dealership or tire dealer.
