USING THE TIRE SEALANT
AND INFLATOR KIT
Tips for use of the kit
To ensure safe operation of the kit:
• Before operating the kit, make sure
your vehicle is safely off the road and
away from moving traffic.
• Do not remove any foreign objects,
such as nails or screws, from the tire.
• Do not allow the compressor to
operate continuously for more than 15
minutes. This will help prevent the
compressor from overheating.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -22°F (-30°C)
and 158°F (70°C).
• Only use the sealing compound before
the use-by date. The use-by date is on
a label on the sealant canister and can
be seen through the rectangular
viewing window on the bottom of the
compressor. Check the use-by date
regularly and replace the canister when
the sealant expires.
Note: Sealant compound contains latex.
Use appropriate precautions to avoid any
allergic reactions. 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
A tire puncture within the tire's tread area
can be repaired in two stages with the kit. •
In the first stage, the tire will be
reinflated with a sealing compound
and air. After the tire has been inflated,
you will need to drive the vehicle a
short distance approximately
4 mi
(6 km) to distribute the sealant in the
tire.
• In the second stage, you will need to
check the tire pressure and adjust, if
necessary, to the vehicle's specified
tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire
with sealing compound and air WARNING:
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. WARNING:
If the tire does not
inflate to the recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside
assistance.
Park the vehicle in a safe, level and secure
area, away from moving traffic.
Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking
brake and power off the vehicle. Inspect
the flat tire for visible damage.
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.

8. When the recommended tire pressure
is reached, turn 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 rear of the vehicle.
9. Drive the vehicle 4 mi (6 km) to
distribute the sealant evenly inside the
tire.
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. Do not proceed to
the second stage of this operation. Second Stage: Checking the tire
pressure with the inflator kit WARNING:
If the tire does not
inflate to the recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside
assistance. 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: 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, turn on the compressor and
adjust the tire to the recommended
inflation pressure.
5. Unplug the hoses, re-install the valve cap on the tire and return the kit to the
rear of the vehicle.

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.
Sealant canisters and spare parts can be
obtained at an authorized dealer. Empty
sealant canisters may be disposed of at
home. However, canisters still containing
liquid sealant should be disposed of in
accordance with local waste disposal
regulation.
Removal of the sealant canister from
the kit
1. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black
tube) from the compressor housing. 2. Unwrap the power cord. 3. Remove the back cover.
4. Rotate the sealant canister up 90
degrees and pull away from
casing/housing to remove.
Installation of the sealant canister to
the kit

WHAT IS THE TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
The tire pressure monitoring
system measures the vehicle's
tire pressures. A warning lamp
illuminates if one or more tires are
significantly underinflated or if there is a
system malfunction.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM OVERVIEW WARNING: If the tire pressure
monitor sensor becomes damaged it
may not function. WARNING:
Under-inflation is the
most common cause of tire failures and
may result in severe tire cracking, tread
separation or blowout, with unexpected
loss of vehicle control and increased risk
of injury. Under-inflation increases
sidewall flexing and rolling resistance,
resulting in heat buildup and internal
damage to the tire. It also may result in
unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear,
loss of vehicle control and accidents. A
tire can lose up to half of its air pressure
and not appear to be flat! WARNING:
To determine the
required pressure(s) for your vehicle, see
the Safety Compliance Certification
Label (on the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post or the door edge that
meets the door-latch post, next to the
driver seat) or the Tire Label on the
B-Pillar or the edge of the driver door. Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle
’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance, and
it is the driver ’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

2021 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 07-06-2021, enUSA, Edition date: 202104, First-Printing Tire Pressure Monitoring System

When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
The tire pressure
monitoring system is not a substitute for
manually checking tire pressures. You
should periodically check tire pressures
using a pressure gauge. Failure to
correctly maintain tire pressures could
increase the risk of tire failure, loss of
control, vehicle rollover and personal
injury. WARNING:
Do not use the tire
pressure displayed in the information
display as a tire pressure gauge. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
Note: The use of tire sealants can damage
the tire pressure monitoring system.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
When the outside temperature drops
significantly, the tire pressure could
decrease and activate the low tire pressure
warning lamp.
The warning lamp could also illuminate
when you use a spare wheel, or tire sealant
from the inflator kit.
Note: Regularly checking the vehicle tire
pressures can reduce the possibility for the
warning lamp to illuminate due to outside
air temperature changes.
Note: After you inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure it could take up to
two minutes of driving over
20 mph
(32 km/h) for the warning indicator to turn
off.
