4. Check to see if the water pump

drive belt is missing. If it is not

missing, check to see that it is

WARNING

CAUTION

While the engine is running, keep

hair, hands and clothing away from

moving parts such as the fan and

drive belts to prevent injury.

䳜 Serious loss of coolant indicates

there is a leak in the cooling sys

tem. In this case, have the system

checked by a professional work

shop. Kia recommends to visit an

authorized Kia dealer/service

partner.

5. If the water pump drive belt is

broken or engine coolant is leak

ing out, stop the engine immedi

ately and call a professional

workshop. Kia recommends to call

an authorized Kia dealer/service

partner.

-

䳜 When the engine overheats from

low engine coolant, suddenly add

ing engine coolant may cause

cracks in the engine. To prevent

damage, add engine coolant

slowly in small quantities.

-

WARNING

Do not remove the radiator cap

when the engine is hot.This can

allow coolant to blow out of the

opening and cause serious burns.

6. If you cannot find the cause of

the overheating, wait until the

engine temperature has returned

to normal. Then, if coolant has

been lost, carefully add coolant to

the reservoir to bring the fluid

level in the reservoir up to the

halfway mark.

mends to contact an authorized

Kia dealer/service partner.

Air pressure loss in the tire may

adversely affect tire performance.

For this reason, you should avoid

abrupt steering or other driving

Introduction

maneuvers, especially if the vehicle

is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in

use.

The TMK 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.

OCDP069005

Refer to "Notes on the safe use of

the Tire Mobility Kit" on page 7-22"

With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you

stay mobile even after experiencing

a tire puncture.

WARNING

7

The system of compressor and

sealing compound effectively and

comfortably seals most punctures

in a passenger car tire caused by

nails or similar objects and reinflates

the tire.

Do not use the TMK if a tire is

severely damaged by driving run flat

or with insufficient air pressure.

Only punctured areas located within

the tread region of the tire can be

sealed using the TMK.

After you ensured that the tire is

properly sealed you can drive cau

tiously on the tire (up to 200 km

-

(120 miles)) at a max. speed of 80

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

vehicle or tire dealer to have the tire

replaced.

or any other type of tires.

䳜 Do not remove any foreign

objects such as nails or screws -

that have penetrated the tire.

䳜 Before using the TMK, read the

precautionary advice printed on

the sealant bottle!

What to do in an emergency

Towing

chain secured to the emergency

towing hook under the front (or

rear) of the vehicle. Use extreme

caution when towing the vehicle. A

driver must be in the vehicle to

steer it and operate the brakes.

䳜 Accelerate or decelerate the vehi-

cle in a slow and gradual manner

while maintaining tension on the

tow rope or chain to start or drive

the vehicle, otherwise tow hooks

and the vehicle may be damaged.

Towing in this manner may be done

only on hard-surfaced roads for a

short distance and at low speed.

Also, the wheels, axles, power train,

steering and brakes must all be in

good condition.

䳜 Do not use the tow hooks to pull a

vehicle out of mud, sand or other

conditions from which the vehicle

cannot be driven out under its

own power.

䳜 Before emergency towing, check

if the hook is not broken or dam

-

aged.

䳜 Fasten the towing cable or chain

securely to the hook.

䳜 Do not jerk the hook. Apply it

steadily and with even force.

䳜 To avoid damaging the hook, do

not pull from the side or at a ver

tical angle. Always pull straight

ahead.

-

䳜 Avoid towing a vehicle heavier

than the vehicle doing the towing.

䳜 The drivers of both vehicles

should communicate with each

other frequently.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when towing

the vehicle.

䳜 Avoid sudden starts or erratic

driving maneuvers which would

place excessive stress on the

emergency towing hook and tow

ing cable or chain. The hook and

towing cable or chain may break

and cause serious injury or dam

age.

䳜 If the disabled vehicle is unable to

be moved, do not forcibly con

CAUTION

䳜 Attach a towing strap to the tow

hook.

䳜 Using a portion of the vehicle

other than the tow hooks for

towing may damage the body of

your vehicle.

-

䳜 Use only a cable or chain specifi

-

cally intended for use in towing

vehicles. Securely fasten the cable

tinue the towing. We recommend

that you contact an authorized

Kia dealer or a commercial tow

truck service for assistance.

driver must not be allowed to be

on board.

䳜 Keep away from the vehicle

during towing.

Emergency towing precautions

䳜 Turn the ENGINE START/STOP

button to ACC so the steering

wheel isn䳓t locked.

䳜 Place the transmission shift lever

in N (Neutral).

䳜 Release the parking bake.

䳜 The vehicle should be towed at a

speed of 25 km/h (16 mph) or less

within the distance of 20 km (12

miles).

OCDP069013

䳜 Press the brake pedal with more

force than normal since you will

have reduced brake performance.

䳜 More steering effort will be

required because the power

steering system will be disabled.

䳜 If you are driving down a long hill,

the brakes may overheat and

brake performance will be

reduced. Stop often and let the

brakes cool off.

Triangle reflector (if equipped)

Place the triangle reflector on the

road to warn oncoming vehicles

during emergencies, such as when

the vehicle is parked by the roadside

due to any problems.

Tire pressure gauge (if equipped)

Tires normally lose some air in day-

to-day use, and you may have to

add a few pounds of air periodically

and it is not usually a sign of a leak

-

ing tire, but of normal wear. Always

check tire pressure when the tires

are cold because tire pressure

increases with temperature.

To check the tire pressure, take the

following steps;

1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap

that is located on the rim of the

tire.

2. Press and hold the gauge against

the tire valve. Some air will escape

as you begin and more will escape

if you don't press the gauge in

firmly.

3. A firm non-leaking push will acti

vate the gauge.

-

4. Read the tire pressure on the

gauge to know whether the tire

pressure is low or high.

5. Adjust the tire pressures to the

specified pressure. Refer to "Tires

and wheels (Wagon)" on page 9-4,

"Tires and wheels (CUV)" on page

9-4.

6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
