Roadside Emergencies TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle may be equipped with a temporary mobility kit (located under the driver's seat). To remove the temporary mobility kit, move the driver's seat fully forward and pull the kit rearward, separating the Velcro௡ strip on the kit from the Velcro௡ patch on the carpet. To replace the temporary mobility kit, place the kit on the floor behind the driver's seat with the looped strap on top and facing rearward. Then, push the kit forward until the Velcro௡ strip on the front of the kit makes contact with the Velcro௡ patch on the forward edge of the carpet. The temporary mobility kit consists of an air compressor to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound in a canister that will effectively seal most punctures caused by nails or similar objects. This kit will provide a temporary seal allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 120 miles (200 km) at a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). WARNING: When towing a trailer, use the temporary mobility kit and not the mini spare tire. The mini spare tire is not intended for the higher towing load limits of this vehicle. When towing heavy loads with the mini spare tire, vehicle handling may be diminished, which could lead to loss of control, and serious personal injury. Note: The temporary mobility kit sealant compound in the canister is to be used for one tire only. See your authorized dealer for additional replacement sealant canisters. 340 2011 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 4th Printing USA (fus)
