Get Wheels and Tires -> Tire Sealant and Inflator Kit Guide for Ford Mustang 2 Door Sixth Generation (2015-2023)

TIRE SEALANT AND INFLATOR

KIT (If Equipped)

Note: The temporary mobility kit contains

enough sealant compound in the canister

for one tire repair only. See an authorized

Ford dealer for replacement sealant

canisters.

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 provides a

temporary tire repair, allowing you to drive

your vehicle up to 200 km at a maximum

speed of 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 you have severely

damaged a tire. Only seal punctures located

within the tire tread 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

80 km/h.

Note: Do not drive further than 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.

Tips for Use of the Kit

To ensure safe operation of the kit:

• Read all instructions and cautions fully.

• Before operating the kit, make sure

your vehicle is safely off the road and

away from moving traffic. Switch 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 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 kit unattended during

operation.

• Sealant compound contains latex.

Those with latex sensitivities should

use appropriate precautions to avoid

an allergic reaction.

• Keep the kit away from children.

• Only use the kit when the ambient

temperature is between -30°C and

70°C.

• Only use the sealing compound before

the use-by date. The use-by date is on

a label on the sealant canister, which

you can see through the rectangular

viewing window on the bottom of the

compressor. Check the use-by date

regularly and replace the canister after

four years of non-use.

• Do not store the kit unsecured inside

the passenger compartment of the

vehicle as it may cause injury during a

sudden stop or crash. Always store the

kit in its original location.

• After sealant use, an authorized Ford

dealer must replace the tire pressure

monitoring system sensor and valve

stem on the wheel.

• Operating the kit could cause an

electrical disturbance in radio, CD and

DVD player operation.

* When inflation only is required

for a tire or other objects, the

selector must be in the Air

position.

What to do When a Tire Is

Punctured

You can repair a tire puncture within the

tire's tread area in two stages with the kit.

• In the first stage, inflate the tire with a

sealing compound and air. After you

inflate the tire, you will need to drive

the vehicle a short distance 6 km to

distribute the sealant in the tire.

• In the second stage, check the tire

pressure and adjust, if necessary, to the

vehicle's specified tire inflation

pressure.

First Stage: Inflating the Tire with

Sealing Compound and Air

WARNINGS

Do not stand directly over the kit

while inflating the tire. If you notice

any unusual bulges or deformations

in the tire's sidewall during inflation, stop

and call roadside assistance.

If the tire does not inflate to the

recommended tire pressure within

15 minutes, stop and call roadside

assistance.

Do not run the engine when

operating the air compressor unless

the vehicle is outdoors or in a

well-ventilated area.

Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, level

and secure area, away from moving traffic.

Switch the hazard lights on. Apply the

parking brake and switch the engine off.

Inspect the flat tire for visible damage.

Sealant compound contains latex. Use

appropriate precautions to avoid any

allergic reactions.

Do not remove any foreign object that has

pierced the tire. If a puncture is located in

the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside

assistance.

1. Remove the valve cap from the tire

valve.

2. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black

tube) from the back of the compressor

housing.

3. Fasten the hose to the tire valve by

turning the connector clockwise.

Tighten the connection securely.

E200523

4. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt

power point in the vehicle.

5. Remove the warning sticker found on

the casing/housing and place it on the

top of the instrument panel or the

center of the dash.

6. Start the vehicle and leave the engine

running so the compressor does not

drain the vehicle’s battery.

7. Turn dial (A) clockwise to the sealant

position. Switch the kit on by pressing

the on/off button (B).

8. Inflate the tire to the pressure listed on

the tire label located on the driver's

door or the door jamb area. The initial

air pressure gauge reading may indicate

a value higher than the label pressure

while you pump the sealing compound

into the tire. This is normal and should

be no reason for concern. The pressure

gauge reading will indicate the tire

inflation pressure after about 30

seconds of operation. You should

check the final tire pressure with the

compressor turned OFF in order to get

an accurate pressure reading.

E175982

9. When the tire reaches the

recommended tire pressure, switch off

the kit, unplug the power cable, and

disconnect the hose from the tire valve.

Re-install the valve cap on the tire

valve and return the kit to the stowage

area.

10. Immediately and cautiously, drive the

vehicle 6 km to distribute the sealant

evenly inside the tire. Do not exceed

80 km/h.

11. After 6 km, stop and check the tire

pressure. See Second Stage:

Checking Tire Pressure.

Note: If you experience any unusual

vibration, ride disturbance or noise while

driving, reduce your speed until you can

safely pull off to the side of the road to call

for roadside assistance. Note: Do not

proceed to the second stage of this

operation.

Second Stage: Checking Tire

Pressure

Note: If you are proceeding from the First

Stage: Re-inflating the Tire with Sealing

Compound and Air section and have

injected sealant in the tire and the pressure

is below 1.4 bar, continue to the next step.

WARNING

The power plug may get hot after use

and should be handled carefully

when unplugging.

Check the air pressure of your tires as

follows:

E175983

1. Remove the valve cap from the tire

valve.

2. Firmly screw the air compressor hose

onto the valve stem by turning

clockwise.

3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the

air position.

4. If required, switch on the compressor

and adjust the tire to the

recommended inflation pressure

shown on the tire label located on the

driver's door or door jamb area. You

should check the tire pressure with the

compressor turned OFF in order to get

an accurate pressure reading.

5. Unplug the hoses, re-install the valve

cap on the tire and return the kit to the

stowage area.

What to Do After the Tire has Been

Sealed

After using the kit to seal your tire, you will

need to replace the sealant canister. You

can obtain sealant canisters and spare

parts at an authorized Ford dealer. You can

dispose of empty sealant canisters at

home. However, you should dispose of

canisters still containing liquid sealant

through your local authorized Ford dealer

or tire dealer, or in accordance with local

waste disposal regulation.

Note: After you use the sealing compound,

the maximum vehicle speed is 80 km/h and

the maximum driving distance is 200 km.

You should inspect the sealed tire

immediately.

You can check the tire pressure any time

within the 200 km by performing the steps

listed previously in the Second Stage:

Checking Tire Pressure procedure.
