What is the Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit in my Ford?

There are two types of kits available, which both operate similarly.

• The Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit with dial
  • This kit comes with a hose already connected and ready to use. 
  • The dial can be adjusted to distribute sealant or air. 
• The Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit with two ports

  • This kit comes with a hose that must be attached to the body of the kit before you can utilize it. To insert the hose, connect the end with the winged twist connector into the housing of the kit as shown below. Twist clockwise until you feel the connector lock, and then you are ready to use your kit.
     

    
  • The hose can connect to two different ports in the housing, allowing you to distribute sealant or air.

To confirm whether your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit and determine which type of kit you have, refer to your Owner's Manual.

The Tire Inflator and Sealant kit can be located in the trunk, luggage compartment, or under the front row passenger seat. 

To learn more about where your specific vehicle's kit may be located, refer to the Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit section of your Owner's Manual.

Important: 

• Do not remove any objects from the tire like nails or screws. 
• If the puncture is in the tire sidewall, contact Ford Roadside Assistance.
• Before using your kit:
  • Park your vehicle in a safe location.
  • Turn on your hazard lights.
  • Apply your parking brake.

1. Remove the valve cap and fasten the hose to the sealant port, by turning the connector clockwise to tighten it. 
2. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt outlet.
3. Remove the warning sticker and turn dial to "sealant" position. Place the warning sticker in a safe space you can view while driving (e.g., the top of your instrument panel or the centre of your dash) as a reminder to adhere to the speed and distance limitations.
4. Turn the kit on and inflate your tire to the proper pressure specified on your Safety Certification Label, which is located inside the driver’s side doorjamb.
5. Turn off the kit, unplug the power cable, and disconnect the hose from your tire and replace the valve cap. 
6. Drive five miles to evenly distribute sealant and then recheck pressure. Add more air if needed.

If the tire does not inflate to the proper tire pressure within 15 minutes, contact Ford Roadside Assistance.
