IF YOU HAVE A FFLAT TIRE (WITH TIRE MOBILITY KIIT, IF EQUIPPED)

Introduction

CAUTION

When two or more tires are flat,

do not use the tire mobility kit

because the supported one

sealant of Tire Mobility Kit is

only used for one flat tire.

WARNING

OTL065033

Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit

to repair punctures in the tire

walls.This can result in an acci-

dent due to tire failure.

For safe operation, carefully read

and follow the instructions in this

manual before use.

OTL065034

With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay

mobile even after experiencing a tire

puncture.

(1) Compressor

(2) Sealant bottle

WARNING

The system of compressor and seal-

ing compound effectively and com-

fortably seals most punctures in a

passenger car tire caused by nails

or similar objects and reinflates the

tire.

The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary

fix to the tire and we recommend that

the system be inspected by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Have your tire repaired as soon

as possible. The tire may loose

air pressure at any time after

inflating with theTire Mobility Kit.

After you ensured that the tire is

properly sealed you can drive cau-

tiously on the tire (distance up to 200

km (120 miles)) at a max. speed of

80 km/h (50 mph) in order to reach a

service station or tire dealer to have

the tire replaced.

6-25

What to do in an emergency

It is possible that some tires, espe-

cially with larger punctures or dam-

age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed

completely.

Air pressure loss in the tire may

adversely affect tire performance.

For this reason, you should avoid

abrupt steering or other driving

maneuvers, especially if the vehicle

is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in

use.

The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed

or intended as a permanent tire

repair method and is to be used for

one tire only. This instruction shows

you step by step how to temporarily

seal the puncture simply and reliably.

Read the section "Notes on the safe

use of the Tire Mobility Kit".

• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a

tire is severely damaged by driving

run flat or with insufficient air pres-

sure.

Notes on the safe use of the

Tire Mobility Kit

• Park your car at the side of the

road so that you can work with the

Tire Mobility Kit away from moving

traffic.

• Do not remove any foreign objects

such as nails or screws that have

penetrated the tire.

• To be sure your vehicle will not

move, even when you're on fairly

level ground, always set your park-

ing brake.

• Provided the car is outdoors, leave

the engine running. Otherwise

operating the compressor may

eventually drain the car battery.

• Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for

sealing/inflation passenger car

tires. Only punctured areas located

within the tread region of the tire

can be sealed using the tire mobil-

ity kit.

• Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit

unattended while it is being used.

• Do not leave the compressor run-

ning for more than 10 min. at a time

or it may overheat.

• Do not use on motorcycles, bicy-

cles or any other type of tires.

• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if

the ambient temperature is below

-30°C (-22°F).

• When the tire and wheel are dam-

aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit

for your safety.

WARNING

Do not use the TMK if a tire is

severely damaged by driving run

flat or with insufficient air pres-

sure.

• Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not

be effective for tire damage larger

than approximately 6 mm (0.24 in).

If the tire cannot be made roadwor-

thy with the Tire Mobility Kit, we

recommend that you contact an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Only punctured areas located

within the tread region of the tire

can be sealed using the TMK.

Components of the Tire Mobility Kit

Connectors, cable and connection

hose are stored in the compressor

housing.

WARNING

Expired sealant

Do not use the Tire sealant after

the sealant has expired (i.e.

pasted the expiration date on

the sealant container). This can

increase the risk of tire failure.

What to do in an emergency

Using the Tire Mobility Kit

1. Detach the speed restriction label

(0) from the sealant bottle (1), and

place it in a highly visible place

inside the vehicle such as on the

steering wheel to remind the driv-

er not to drive too fast.

2. Screw connection hose (9) onto

the connector of the sealant bot-

tle.

OTL065036

3. Ensure that button (8) on the com-

pressor is not pressed.

OTL065040

4. Unscrew the valve cap from the

valve of the defective wheel and

screw filling hose (2) of the

sealant bottle onto the valve.

CAUTION

Securely install the sealant fill-

ing hose to the valve. If not,

sealant may flow backward,

possibly clogging the filling

hose.

5. Insert the sealant bottle into the

housing of the compressor (4) so

that the bottle is upright.

OLMF064105

6. Ensure that the compressor is

switched off, position 0.

6-28

8. With the engine start/stop button 9. Switch off the compressor.

position on or ignition switch posi-

10. Detach the hoses from the

tion on, switch on the compressor

sealant bottle connector and

and let it run for approximately

from the tire valve.

5~7 minutes to fill the sealant up

Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-

to proper pressure. (refer to the

age location in the vehicle.

Tire and Wheels, chapter 8). The

inflation pressure of the tire after

filling is unimportant and will be

checked/corrected later.

WARNING

Carbon monoxide

Be careful not to overinflate the

tire and stay away from the tire

when filling it.

OTL065037

Do not leave your vehicle run-

ning in a poorly ventilated area

for extended periods of time.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

and suffocation can occur.

7. Connect between compressor and

the vehicle power outlet using the

cable and connectors.

CAUTION

Tire pressure

WARNING

6

Do not attempt to drive your

vehicle if the tire pressure is

below 29 PSI (200kpa). This

could result in an accident due

to sudden tire failure.

Only use the front passenger

side power outlet when con-

necting the power cord.

6-29

What to do in an emergency

Distributing the sealant

Checking the tire inflation

pressure

CAUTION

Do not exceed a speed of 80

km/h (50 mph). If possible, do

not fall below a speed of 20

km/h (12 mph).

While driving, if you experience

any unusual vibration, ride dis-

turbance or noise, reduce your

speed and drive with caution

until you can safely pull off of

the side of the road.

OLMF064106

Call for road side service or

towing. When you use the Tire

Mobility Kit, the tire pressure

sensors and wheel may be dam-

aged by sealant, remove the

sealant stained with tire pres-

sure sensors and wheel and

inspect in authorized dealer.

OTL065038

11. Immediately drive approximately

7~10 km (4~6 miles or, about

10min) to evenly distribute the

sealant in the tire.

1. After driving approximately 7~10

km (4~6 miles or about 10 min),

stop at a safety location.

2. Connect connection hose (9) of

the compressor directly to the tire

valve.

3. Plug the compressor power cord

into the vehicle power outlet.

4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to

the recomended tire inflation.

With the ignition swithched on,

proceed as follows.

6-30

- To increase the inflation pres-

sure : Switch on the compres-

sor, position I. To check the cur-

rent inflation pressure setting,

briefly switch off the compressor.

CAUTION

If the inflation pressure is not

maintained, drive the vehicle a

second time, refer to Distributing

the sealant. Then repeat steps 1

to 4.

Tire pressure sensor

The sealant on the tire pressure

sensor and wheel should be

removed when you replace the

tire with a new one and inspect

the tire pressure sensors in

authorized dealer.

WARNING

Use of the TMK may be ineffec-

tual for tire damage larger than

approximately 4 mm (0.16 in).

Do not let the compressor run

for more than 10 minutes, other-

wise the device will overheat

and may be damaged.

We recommend that you contact

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer if

the tire cannot be made road-

worthy with the Tire Mobility Kit.

NOTICE

The pressure gauge may show

higher than actual reading when

the compressor is running. To get

an accurate tire reading, the com-

pressor needs to be turned off.

6

WARNING

The tire inflation pressure must

be at least 220 kPa (32 psi). If it

is not, do not continue driving.

- To reduce the inflation pres-

sure: Press the button 8 on the

compressor.

Call for road side service or tow-

ing.

6-31

What to do in an emergency

❈ Sealant and spare parts can be

obtained and replaced at an author-

ized vehicle or tire dealer. Empty

sealant bottles may be disposed of

at home. Liquid residue from the

sealant should be disposed of by

your vehicle or tire dealer or in

accordance with local waste dispos-

al regulations.
