Second stage: Checking tire pressure

Check the air pressure of your tires as follows:

1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.

2. Unhook the black hose from the side of the compressor and fasten
firmly on the valve stem by turning clockwise.

WARNING: If you are proceeding from the First stage:
Reinflating 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), stop and call roadside assistance. If tire pressure is
above 20 psi (1.4 bar), continue to the next step.

3. Turn the dial clockwise to the air position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on/off button.

4. Adjust the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
from the tire label located on the
driver’s door or door jamb area.

Note: The tire pressure has to be
checked with the compressor in the
OFF position to get the correct tire
pressure reading.

5. Turn the compressor off by
pressing the on/off button.

6. Unplug the hoses, re-install the valve cap on the tire and return the
kit to the stowage area.

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

What to do after the tire has been sealed

After using the temporary mobility kit to seal your tire, you will need to
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.
