Distributing the sealant

Producing the tire inflation pres-

sure

1) After driving approximately 3 km (2

miles), stop at a suitable location.

- To reduce the inflation pres-

sure: Press the button 8 on the

compressor.

Immediately drive approximately 3 km

(2 miles) to evenly distribute the

sealant in the tire.

CAUTION

2) Connect the filling hose 2 of the

compressor (clip mounted side)

directly and then connect the filling

hose 2 (opposite side) to the tire

valve.

If the inflation pressure is not

maintained, drive the vehicle a

second time, refer to Distributing

the sealant. Then repeat steps 1

to 4.

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).

3) Connect between compressor and

the vehicle power outlet using the

cable and connectors.

Use of the TireMobilityKit may

be ineffectual for tire damage

larger than approximately 4 mm

(0.16 in).

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.

4) Adjust the tire inflation pressure to

220 kPa (32 psi). With the ignition

switched on, proceed as follows.

We recommend that you contact

the nearest Kia A/S center, or a

workshop that works according

to Kia repair procedures with cor-

respondingly trained personnel if

the tire cannot be made roadwor-

thy with the TireMobilityKit.

- To increase the inflation pres-

sure: Switch on the compressor,

position I. To check the current

inflation pressure setting, briefly

switch off the compressor.

Call for road side service or tow-

ing.

WARNING

Do not let the compressor run for

more than 10 minutes, otherwise

the device will overheat and may

be damaged.

WARNING

The tire inflation pressure must

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

not, do not continue driving. Call

for road side service or towing.

What to do in an emergency

TPMS malfunctions may occur for a

variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alter-

nate tires or wheels on the vehicle

that prevent the TPMS from function-

ing properly. Always check the TPMS

malfunction telltale after replacing

one or more tires or wheels on your

vehicle to ensure that the replace-

ment or alternate tires and wheels

allow the TPMS to continue to func-

tion properly.

Low tire pressure tell-

tale

If you drive the vehicle for about 10

minutes at speeds above 25 km/h

after replaceing the low pressure tire

with the spare tire, the below will

happen:

Low tire pressure posi-

tion telltale

• The TPMS malfunction indicator

may blink for approximately 1

minute and then remain continuous-

ly illuminated because the TPMS

sensor is not mounted on the spare

wheel.

When the tire pressure monitoring

system warning indicators are illumi-

nated, one or more of your tires is

significantly under-inflated. The low

tire pressure position telltale light will

indicate which tire is significantly

under-inflated by illuminating the cor-

responding position light.

✽

NOTICE

If any of the below happens, we rec-

ommend that the system be checked

by an authorized Kia dealer.

If either telltale illuminates, immedi-

ately reduce your speed, avoid hard

cornering and anticipate increased

stopping distances. You should stop

and check your tires as soon as pos-

sible. Inflate the tires to the proper

pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s

placard or tire inflation pressure label

located on the driver’s side center pil-

lar outer panel. If you cannot reach a

service station or if the tire cannot

hold the newly added air, replace the

low pressure tire with a spare tire.

1.The low tire pressure telltale/

TPMS malfunction indicator do

not illuminate for 3 seconds when

the ignition switch is turned to the

ON position or engine is running.

2.The TPMS malfunction indicator

remains illuminated after blinking

for approximately 1 minute.

3.The Low tire pressure position

What to do in an emergency

Tire Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS) malfunc-

tion indicator

CAUTION

WARNING - Low pressure

damage

In winter or cold weather, the

low tire pressure telltale may

illuminate if the tire pressure

was adjusted to the recom-

mended tire inflation pressure

in warm weather. It does not

mean yourTPMS is malfunction-

ing because the decreased tem-

perature leads to a proportional

lowering of tire pressure.

Significantly low tire pressure

makes the vehicle unstable and

can contribute to loss of vehicle

control and increased braking

distances.

The TPMS malfunction indicator will

illuminate after it blinks for approxi-

mately one minute when there is a

problem with the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System. If the system is

able to correctly detect an under infla-

tion warning at the same time as sys-

tem failure then the TPMS malfunc-

tion indicator remains illuminated after

blinking for approximately 1 minute.

Continued driving on low pres-

sure tires can cause the tires to

overheat and fail.

When you drive your vehicle

from a warm area to a cold area

or from a cold area to a warm

area, or the outside temperature

is greatly higher or lower, you

should check the tire inflation

pressure and adjust the tires to

the recommended tire inflation

pressure.

We recommend that the system be

checked by an authorized Kia dealer to

determine the cause of the problem.

What to do in an emergency

Changing a tire with TPMS

If you drive the vehicle for about 10

minutes at speeds above 25 km/h

after replaceing the low pressure tire

with the spare tire, the below will

happen:

CAUTION

If you have a flat tire, the low Tire

Pressure and Position telltales will

come on. We recommend that the

system be checked by an authorized

Kia dealer.

• The TPMS malfunction indica-

tor may blink for approximate-

ly 1 minute and then remain

continuously illuminated if the

vehicle is moving around elec-

tric power supply cables or

radios transmitter such as at

police stations, government

and public offices, broadcast-

ing stations, military installa-

tions, airports, or transmitting

towers, etc. This can interfere

with normal operation of the

Tire Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS).

• The TPMS malfunction indicator

may blink for approximately 1

minute and then remain continuous-

ly illuminated because the TPMS

sensor is not mounted on the

sparewheel.

CAUTION

We recommend that you use the

sealant approved by Kia.

The sealant on the tire pressure

sensor and wheel shall be elem-

inated when you replace the tire

with a new one.

Each wheel is equipped with a tire

pressure sensor mounted inside the

tire behind the valve stem. You must

use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-

ommended that you have your tires

serviced by an authorized Kia dealer.

• The TPMS malfunction indica-

tor may blink for approximate-

ly 1 minute and then remain

continuously illuminated if

snow chains are used or some

separate electronic devices

such as notebook computer,

mobile charger, remote starter

or navigation etc., are used in

the vehicle. This can interfere

with normal operation of the

Tire Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS).
