Tire Care; Checking The Tire Pressure - Ford Transit Owner's Manual

Note: When pumping in the sealant through
the tire valve, the pressure may rise up to
87 psi (6 bar) but will drop again after about
30 seconds.

Checking the Tire Pressure

WARNING
Before driving make sure the tire is
adjusted to the recommended
inflation pressure. See Technical
Specifications (page 190). Monitor the
tire pressure until the sealed tire is
replaced.
1. Stop your vehicle after driving
approximately six miles (10
kilometers). Check, and where
necessary, adjust the pressure of the
damaged tire.
2. Attach the temporary mobility kit and
check the tire pressure from the
pressure gauge D.
3. If the pressure of the damaged tire is
44 psi (3 bar) or more, adjust it to the
specified pressure. See Technical
Specifications (page 190).
4. Follow the inflation procedure once
again to inflate the tire.
5. Check the tire pressure again from the
pressure gauge D. If the tire pressure is
too high, deflate the tire to the
specified pressure using the pressure
relief valve B.
6. If the tire pressure is below 44 psi (3
bar), repeat steps 13 to 16 and steps 1
to 5 (Checking the Tire Pressure).
7. Once you have inflated the tire to its
correct tire pressure, move the
compressor switch F to position 0,
remove the power plug E from the
auxiliary power point, unscrew the
sealant bottle hose, fasten the valve
cap and replace the protective cap A.

TIRE CARE

the tire is removed from the wheel,
inform the tire specialist that the tire
contains sealant. Renew the sealant
bottle as soon as possible after it has
been used once.

tires when you are parking.
