Wheels and Tires

• 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 does not 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 during operation. • Sealant compound contains latex. Those with latex sensitivities should use appropriate precautions 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).

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 Lincoln 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.

• Only use the sealing compound before the use-by date. The use-by date is on a label on the sealant canister and can be seen through the rectangular viewing window on the bottom of the compressor. Check the use-by date regularly and replace the canister after four years of non-use. • 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 Lincoln dealer. • Operating the kit could cause an electrical disturbance in radio, CD, and DVD player operation.

* When inflation only is required for a tire or other objects, the selector must be in the Air position.
