Checking The Tyre Pressure - Ford Transit Owner's Handbook Manual

17. Immediately drive approximately
three kilometres (two miles) so
that the sealant can seal the
damaged area.
Note: When pumping in the sealant
through the tyre valve, the pressure
may rise up to 6 bar (87 psi) but will
drop again after about 30 seconds.
WARNING
If you experience heavy
vibrations, unsteady steering
behaviour or noises while driving,
reduce your speed and drive with
caution to a place where it is safe for
you to stop the vehicle. Recheck the
tyre and its pressure. If the tyre
pressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi)
or if there are any cracks, bumps or
similar damage visible, do not
continue driving with this tyre.

Checking the tyre pressure

1. Stop the vehicle after driving
approximately three kilometres
(two miles). Check, and where
necessary, adjust the pressure of
the damaged tyre.
2. Attach the kit and read the tyre
pressure from the pressure gauge
F.
3. If the pressure of the sealant-filled
tyre is 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more,
adjust it to the specified pressure.
See Technical specifications
(page 167).
4. Follow the inflation procedure
once again to top up the tyre.

5. Check the tyre pressure again
from the pressure gauge F. If the
tyre pressure is too high, deflate
the tyre to the specified pressure
using the pressure relief valve B.
6. Once you have inflated the tyre to
its correct tyre pressure, move
the compressor switch H to
position 0, remove the power
plug G from the socket, unscrew
the hose C, fasten the valve cap
and replace the protective cap A.
7. Leave the sealant bottle K in the
bottle holder E and store the kit
away safely in its original location.
8. Drive to the nearest tyre specialist
to get the damaged tyre replaced.
Before the tyre is removed from
the rim, inform your tyre dealer
that the tyre contains sealant.
Renew the kit as soon as possible
after it has been used once.
Note: Remember that emergency
roadside tyre repair kits only provide
temporary mobility. Regulations
concerning tyre repair after usage of
tyre repair kit may differ from country
to country. You should consult a tyre
specialist for advice.
WARNING
Before driving, make sure the
tyre is adjusted to the
recommended inflation pressure.
See Technical specifications
(page 167). Monitor the tyre pressure
until the sealed tyre is replaced.
