wheel FORD MUSTANG 2014 5.G Repair Manual

First Stage: Reinflating the Tire with Sealing Compound and Air
WARNING:Do not stand directly over the temporary mobility
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.
WARNING:If the tire does not inflate to the recommended tire
pressure within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside assistance.
Preparation
Park the vehicle in a safe, level and secure area, away from moving
traffic. Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking brake and turn the
engine off. Inspect the flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. To avoid any allergic reactions, use the
non-latex gloves located in the accessory box on the underside of the
temporary mobility kit housing.
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 clear tube from the compressor housing.
3. Remove the tube cap and fasten the metal connector of the tube to
the tire valve, turning clockwise. Make sure the connection is tightly
fastened.
4. Plug the power cable into the
12-volt power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found on the canister and place it on the
top of the instrument panel or the center of the dash.
6.Note:Start the engine only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area.

7. Push and turn dial (A)
counterclockwise to the sealant
position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on 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.
Note:When the sealing compound is first added into the tire, the air
pressure gauge reading on the compressor unit may indicate a higher
value; this is normal and should be no reason for concern. The pressure
will drop after about 30 seconds of operation. The tire pressure has to be
checked with the compressor in the OFF position to get the correct tire
pressure reading.
9. When the recommended tire pressure is reached, turn off the kit by
pressing the on and off button; disconnect the kit from the tire valve and
the power point. Re-install the valve cap on the tire valve, place the tube
cap on the metal connector, and return the kit to the stowage area.
10.Note:Immediately and cautiously, drive the vehicle 4 miles
(6 kilometers) to distribute the sealant evenly inside the tire. Do not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
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.
11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and check the tire pressure.

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

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.
Note:After the sealing compound has been used, the maximum vehicle
speed is 50 mph (80 km/h) and the maximum driving distance is
120 miles (200 kilometers). The sealed tire should be inspected
immediately.
Note:After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and
valve stem on the wheel must be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer.
You can check the tire pressure anytime within the 120 miles
(200 kilometers) by performing the procedure fromSecond Stage:
Checking Tire Pressurelisted previously.
Removal of the sealant canister from the temporary mobility kit:
1. Unwrap the clear tube from the
compressor housing.
2. Locate the yellow cap at the end
of the clear tube.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING:When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with
the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in
motion, resulting in loss of control.
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles
(160 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as rotation, flat tire,
wheel removal).
