What is the Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit in my Lincoln?
If your vehicle has a flat tire, your Tire Inflator and Sealant Kit can provide you with a temporary repair instead of using a spare tire. Once repaired, check your Owner's Manual or the kit itself for guidance on speed and distance limitations, then head directly to your Lincoln Retailer or Ford Dealer to repair or replace the tire.
Important: If you have a puncture in the sidewall of your tire or a puncture larger than 0.24 inches, contact Lincoln Roadside Assistance.
