Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit
Check out the tutorial to learn how to temporarily fix your flat with the Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit.
What is the Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit?
If you find yourself on the side of the road with a flat tire, you have assistance. Your Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit can get you to your Lincoln Retailer for service. Instead of a spare tire, this kit provides a temporary repair. Once repaired, check your Owner’s Manual or the kit itself for guidance on speed and distance limitations, then head directly to your retailer to repair or replace your tire.
If you have a puncture in the sidewall of your tire or a puncture larger than .24 inches, contact Roadside Assistance.
Which Vehicles Are Equipped With the Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit?
Your Owner’s Manual can help you confirm whether or not your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit.
Where is My Kit?
It may be located in the trunk, luggage compartment, or under the front row passenger seat. Refer to your Owner’s Manual under “Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit” to find its exact location.
How Do I Use My Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit?
Follow instructions for your vehicle in your Owner’s Manual under “Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit.” For vehicles equipped with SYNC® 4A, you can also navigate to the Owner’s Manual from the “Home” section on your infotainment system.
First, park in a safe area:
Turn on hazard lights and apply the parking brake.
Do not remove any objects from the tire like nails or screws.
If the puncture is in the tire sidewall, call Roadside Assistance.
Next, follow these steps:
- Remove valve cap and fasten hose. Turn connector clockwise to tighten.
- Plug power cable into 12-volt outlet.
- Remove warning sticker and turn dial to “sealant” position. Place the warning sticker in a safe space you’ll notice while driving, such as the top of your instrument panel or the center of your dash, as a reminder to adhere to the speed and distance limitations.
- Turn the kit on. Inflate tire to proper pressure specified on your Safety Certification Label inside the driver’s side doorjamb.
- Turn off kit. Unplug the power cable. Disconnect hose from tire and replace valve cap.
- Drive five miles to evenly distribute sealant and then recheck pressure. Add more air if needed.
Troubleshooting
If the tire does not inflate to proper tire pressure within 15 minutes, call Roadside Assistance.
