Ford 2013 Fusion Hybrid v.1 Manuel d'utilisateur télécharger pdf (Page 275)

• 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 ensure safe

operation of the kit and your vehicle.

Tips for Use of the Kit

Read the following list of tips 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. Turn on the

hazard lights.

• Always set the parking brake to ensure

the vehicle doesn't 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 doesn't drain the vehicle's

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 collision. 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'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

reinflated, you will need to drive the

vehicle a short distance (approximately

4 miles [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 tire inflation

pressure.
