If you are stowing the flat tire:

the exterior pocket of the felt bag.

jack.

threaded stud of the jack retention
bracket.
4. With the temporary spare tire on
the vehicle, place the flat tire in the
spare tire well with the wheel facing up.

If you are stowing the temporary spare tire, place the tire over the

TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a temporary mobility kit (located in
the spare tire well in the trunk). 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).
Note: The temporary mobility kit sealant compound in the canister is to
be used for one tire only. See your Ford authorized dealer for additional
replacement sealant canisters.
