Maintenance

Your vehicle has limited engine power when
in the fail-safe mode. Drive your vehicle with
caution. Your vehicle does not maintain
high-speed operation and the engine
operates poorly.
Remember that the engine is capable of
automatically shutting down to prevent
engine damage. In this situation:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safelypossible and switch off the engine.
2. Tow your vehicle to an authorized dealer.
3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool.
4. Check the coolant level and add if low.
5. Re-start the engine and drive your vehicle to an authorized dealer.
Note: Driving your vehicle without repair
increases the chance of engine damage.
See an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID CHECK
6F35/HF35 transmission (If Equipped)
Note: Transmission fluid should be checked
by an authorized dealer. If required, fluid
should be added by an authorized dealer.
The automatic transmission does not have
a transmission fluid dipstick.
Refer to your scheduled maintenance
information for scheduled intervals for fluid
checks and changes. Your transmission does
not consume fluid. However, the fluid level
should be checked if the transmission is not
working properly, (For example: if the
transmission slips or shifts slowly) or if you
notice some sign of fluid leakage. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 480).
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid
additives, treatments or cleaning agents. The
use of these materials may affect
transmission operation and result in damage
to internal transmission components.
6F50/6F55 Transmission (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
The dipstick cap and surrounding
components may be hot; gloves are
recommended.
Use gloves when moving the air filter
assembly. Components will be hot.
Note: Automatic transmission fluid expands
when warmed. To obtain an accurate fluid
check, drive the vehicle until it is warmed up
(approximately 20 miles [30 kilometers]). If
your vehicle has been operated for an
extended period at high speeds, in city traffic
during hot weather or pulling a trailer, the
vehicle should be turned off until normal
operating temperatures are reached to allow
the fluid to cool before checking. Depending
on vehicle use, cooling times could take up
to 30 minutes or longer.

Vehicle Care

Do not attempt to repair punctures larger
than 0.24 in (6 mm) 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 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Note: Do not drive further than 120 mi
(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. Turn 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
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 when it is operating.
• Sealant compound contains latex. Make sure that you use the non-latex gloves
provided to avoid an allergic reaction.
• Keep the kit away from children. • 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
the lower right hand corner of the label
located on the sealant canister (bottle).
Check the use by date regularly and
replace the canister after four years.
• 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, the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and valve stem
on the wheel must be replaced by an
authorized Ford dealer.
• When inflating a tire or other objects, use the black air hose only. Do not use the
transparent hose which is designed for
sealant application only.
• Operating the kit could cause an electrical disturbance in radio, CD, and
DVD player operation.

7. Push and turn dial (A) counterclockwiseto the sealant position. Turn on the kit by
pressing the on/off button (B).
E144621
8. Inflate the tire to the pressure specifiedby the tire label located on the driver
door or the door jamb area. While the
sealant compound is being pumped into
the tire, the air pressure gauge will
indicate a pressure above the actual tire
pressure. This is normal and should be
no reason for concern. The pressure
gauge will provide a correct tire pressure
reading after about 30 seconds of
operation. The tire pressure has to be
checked with the compressor in the off
position to get an accurate tire pressure
reading.
9. When the recommended tire pressure is reached, turn off the kit by pressing the
on/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. 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). 11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), 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
WARNINGS
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
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.
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 ofthe compressor and fasten firmly on the
valve stem by turning clockwise.
3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the air position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on button.
E144622
4. Adjust the tire to the recommendedinflation pressure from the tire label
located on the driver door or door jamb
area. 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. When the tire pressure reading with the
compressor in the off position is correct,
disconnect the hose, re-install the valve
cap on the tire valve, unplug the
compressor, 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 and
clear tube (hose). You can obtain and replace
sealing compound and spare parts at an
authorized Ford dealer 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 dealer 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 mi (200 km). 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 any time
within the 120 mi (200 km) by performing the
procedure from Second stage: Checking tire
pressure listed previously.
