Wheels and Tires 357 Note: When the sealing compound is first added into the tire, the air pressure gauge reading on the compressor unit may indicate a higher value; this is normal and should be no reason for concern. The pressure will drop after about 30 seconds of operation. The tire pressure has to be checked with the compressor in the OFF position to get the correct tire pressure reading. 9. When the recommended tire pressure is reached, turn off the kit by pressing the on and 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. Note: 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). 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. 11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and check the tire pressure. See Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure. Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure WARNING: 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. 2013 Taurus Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, December 2012 USA (fus)
