Ford Escape: Using the Tire Sealant and Inflator Kit / 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.
- Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
- Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black
tube) from the back of the compressor
housing.
- Fasten the hose to the tire valve by
turning the connector clockwise.
Tighten the connection securely.

- Plug the power cable into the 12-volt
power point in the vehicle.

the casing/housing and place it on the
top of the instrument panel or the

position. Turn the kit on by pressing the

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.
- Drive the vehicle 4 mi (6 km) to
distribute the sealant evenly inside the
