Roadside Emergencies Note: When the sealing compound is first added into the tire, the air pressure gauge reading (7) on the compressor unit may increase up to 90 psi; this is normal and should be no reason for concern. The pressure will drop after about 30 seconds of operation. Do not stand directly over the temporary mobility kit while inflating the tire. If you notice any unusual bulges or deformations in the tire's sidewall during inflation, stop the air compressor and deflate the tire using the pressure release valve. The pressure release valve is located on the hose. 8. Inflate the tire until the tire reaches the recommended placard pressure, then turn the air compressor off by pressing the "O" side of the orange button. Note: If the damaged tire does not reach the recommended placard pressure within nine minutes, the tire is too severely damaged and the car must not be driven. Call for roadside assistance. 9. Once the tire pressure reaches the recommended placard pressure, quickly unscrew the hose from the tire's air valve and reinstall the valve cap. Unplug the electrical plug from the power point. Turn the sealing compound container back to its original position and close the safety latch. Stow the temporary mobility kit back in the original location. You will need it again to check the tire's air pressure in the second stage of this operation. 10. Immediately, and cautiously, drive the vehicle a short distance (approximately two miles [3.2 km]) to activate the sealing compound within the damaged 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. Do not proceed to the second stage of this operation. 209 2008 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
