    Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
    spark plug wire or spark plug well, or
    the area in and around these locations.
    • Cover the battery, power distribution
    box, and air filter assembly to prevent
    water damage when cleaning the
    engine.
    CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
    WIPER BLADES
    Car wash chemicals and environmental
    fallout can result in windshield and wiper
    blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
    wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
    operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
    blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
    performance.
    To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
    • Clean the windshield with a
    non-abrasive glass cleaner. When
    cleaning the interior of the windshield,
    avoid getting any glass cleaner on the
    instrument panel or door panels. Wipe
    any glass cleaner off these surfaces
    immediately.
    • For windshields contaminated with
    tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean
    the entire windshield using steel wool
    (no greater than 0000 grade) in a
    circular motion and rinse with water.
    • Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
    rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
    concentrate.
    Note:  Do not use razor blades or other
    sharp objects to clean or remove decals
    from the inside of the heated rear window.
    The vehicle warranty does not cover
    damage caused to the heated rear window
    grid lines. CLEANING THE INTERIOR WARNINGS
    Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach
    or dye on the vehicle
    ’s safety belts,
    as these actions may weaken the
    belt webbing. On vehicles equipped with
    seat-mounted airbags, do not use
    chemical solvents or strong
    detergents. Such products could
    contaminate the side airbag system and
    affect performance of the side airbag in a
    collision. For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts
    and seats equipped with side airbags:
    •
    Remove dust and loose dirt with a
    vacuum cleaner.
    • Remove light stains and soil with
    Motorcraft Professional Strength
    Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner.
    • If grease or tar is present on the
    material, spot-clean the area first with
    Motorcraft Spot and Stain Remover. In
    Canada, use Motorcraft Multi-Purpose
    Cleaner.
    • If a ring forms on the fabric after spot
    cleaning, clean the entire area
    immediately (but do not oversaturate)
    or the ring will set.
    • Do not use household cleaning
    products or glass cleaners, which can
    stain and discolor the fabric and affect
    the flame retardant abilities of the seat
    materials.

    							CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT
    PANEL AND INSTRUMENT
    CLUSTER LENS
    WARNING
    Do not use chemical solvents or
    strong detergents when cleaning the
    steering wheel or instrument panel
    to avoid contamination of the airbag
    system. Note:
    Follow the same procedure as
    cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather
    instrument panels and leather interior trim
    surfaces.  See Cleaning Leather Seats
    (page 269).
    Clean the instrument panel and cluster
    lens with a clean, damp and soft cloth,
    then use a clean, dry and soft cloth to dry
    these areas.
    • Avoid cleaners or polishes that increase
    the gloss of the upper portion of the
    instrument panel. The dull finish in this
    area helps protect you from
    undesirable windshield reflection.
    • Do not use any household cleaning
    products or glass cleaners as these
    may damage the finish of the
    instrument panel, interior trim and
    cluster lens.
    • Wash or wipe your hands clean if you
    have been in contact with certain
    products such as insect repellent and
    suntan lotion to avoid possible damage
    to the interior painted surfaces.
    • Do not allow air fresheners and hand
    sanitizers to spill onto interior surfaces.
    If a spill occurs, wipe off immediately.
    Your warranty may not cover these
    damages.
    If a staining liquid like coffee or juice has
    been spilled on the instrument panel or on
    interior trim surfaces: 1. Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean,
    soft cloth as quickly as possible.
    2. Use Motorcraft Premium Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a commercially
    available leather cleaning product for
    automotive interiors. Test any cleaner
    or stain remover on an inconspicuous
    area.
    3. Alternatively, wipe the surface with a clean, soft cloth and a mild soap and
    water solution. Dry the area with a
    clean, soft cloth.
    4. If necessary, apply more soap and water solution or cleaning product to
    a clean, soft cloth and press it onto the
    soiled area. Allow this to set at room
    temperature for 30 minutes.
    5. Remove the soaked cloth, then with a clean, damp cloth, use a rubbing
    motion for 60 seconds on the soiled
    area.
    6. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.
    CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
     (If
    Equipped)
    Note: Follow the same procedure as
    cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather
    instrument panels and leather interior trim
    surfaces.
    For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with
    a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap and
    water solution. Dry the area with a clean,
    soft cloth.
    For cleaning and removing stains such as
    dye transfer, use Motorcraft Premium
    Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a
    commercially available leather cleaning
    product for automotive interiors.
    Note: Test any cleaner or stain remover on
    an inconspicuous area.

    							You should:
    •
    Remove dust and loose dirt with a
    vacuum cleaner.
    • Clean and treat spills and stains as
    soon as possible.
    Do not use the following products as these
    may damage the leather:
    • Oil and petroleum or silicone-based
    leather conditioners.
    • Household cleaners.
    • Alcohol solutions.
    • Solvents or cleaners intended
    specifically for rubber, vinyl and
    plastics.
    REPAIRING MINOR PAINT
    DAMAGE
    Authorized dealers have touch-up paint to
    match your vehicle ’s color. Your vehicle
    color code is printed on a sticker on the
    front, left-hand side door jamb. Take your
    color code to your authorized dealer to
    make sure you get the correct color.
    Before repairing minor paint damage, use
    a cleaner such as Motorcraft Bug and Tar
    Remover to remove particles such as bird
    droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
    spots, road salt and industrial fallout.
    Always read the instructions before using
    cleaning products.
    CLEANING THE ALLOY
    WHEELS
    Note: Do not apply a cleaning chemical to
    warm or hot wheel rims and covers.
    Note: Some automatic car washes may
    cause damage to the finish on your wheel
    rims and covers. Note:
    Industrial-strength or heavy-duty
    cleaners in combination with brush agitation
    to remove brake dust and dirt, could wear
    away the clear coat finish over a period time.
    Note: Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based
    or high caustic-based wheel cleaners, steel
    wool, fuels or strong household detergents.
    Note: If you intend parking your vehicle for
    an extended period after cleaning the
    wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your
    vehicle for a few minutes before doing so.
    This will reduce the risk of increased
    corrosion of the brake discs.
    Alloy wheels and wheel covers are coated
    with a clear coat paint finish. To maintain
    their condition we recommend that you:
    • Clean the wheels weekly using
    Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner.
    Apply using manufacturer's
    instructions.
    • Use a sponge to remove heavy
    deposits of dirt and brake dust
    accumulation.
    • Rinse thoroughly with a strong stream
    of water when you have completed the
    cleaning process.
    • To remove tar and grease, use
    Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
    VEHICLE STORAGE
    If you plan on storing your vehicle for 30
    days or more, read the following
    maintenance recommendations to make
    sure your vehicle stays in good operating

    							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 a tire has become
    severely damaged by driving the vehicle with
    a tire that has insufficient air pressure. Only
    punctured areas located within the tire tread
    can be sealed with the kit.
    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.

    							What to do when a Tire Is
    Punctured
    A tire puncture within the tire 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
    reinflated, you will need to drive the
    vehicle a short distance 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 tire inflation
    pressure.
    First Stage: Reinflating 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 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. 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 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. Start the vehicle 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/off button (B).

    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							8.
    Inflate the tire to the pressure specified
    by 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 of the 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.
    276
    Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Wheels and TiresE144621 
    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							4. Adjust the tire to the recommended
    inflation 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.
    Removal of the sealant canister from
    the kit 1. Unwrap the clear tube from the
    compressor housing. 2.
    Locate the yellow cap at the end of the
    clear tube.
