What to do in an emergency

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (WITH TIRE MOBILITY KIT, IF EQUIPPED)

CAUTION - One sealant for

one tire

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 - Tire wall

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.

Introduction

With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay

mobile even after experiencing a tire

puncture.

(1) Compressor

(2) Sealant bottle

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.

WARNING - Temporary fix

Have your tire repaired as soon

as possible. The tire may loose

air pressure at any time after

inflating with the Tire Mobility

Kit.

The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary

fix to the tire and we recommend that

the tire should be inspected by an

authorized Kia dealer as soon as

possible.

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) in order to reach a service

station or tire dealer for the tire

replacement.

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.

WARNING - Sealant

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Avoid contact with eyes.

• Do not swallow.

What to do in an emergency

Using the Tire Mobility Kit

CAUTION - Tire pressure

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.

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 bottle.

9. Switch off the compressor.

3. Ensure that screw cap (8) is

closed.

10. Detach the hoses from the

sealant bottle connector and

from the tire valve.

OYN069018

4. Unscrew the valve cap from the

valve of the defective wheel and

screw filling hose (2) of the sealant

bottle onto the valve.

6. Ensure that the compressor is

switched off, position 0.

Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-

age location in the vehicle.

7. Plug the compressor power cord

into the vehicle power outlet.

5. Insert the sealant bottle into the

housing (4) of the compressor so

that the bottle is upright.

8. With the engine start/stop button

position on or ignition switch posi-

tion on, switch on the compressor

and let it run for approximately 5~7

minutes to fill the sealant up to

proper pressure. (refer to the Tire

and Wheels, chapter 8). The infla-

tion pressure of the tire after filling

is unimportant and will be

checked/corrected later.

WARNING - Carbon

monoxide

Do not leave your vehicle run-

ning in a poorly ventilated area

for extended periods of time.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

and suffocation can occur.

Be careful not to overinflate the tire

and stay away from the tire when

filling it.

What to do in an emergency

Distributing the sealant

Checking the tire inflation pres-

sure

1.After driving approximately

~6miles(7~10km or about 10min),

stop at a safety location.

✽

NOTICE

11. Immediately drive approximately

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

10min) to evenly distribute the

sealant in the tire.

The pressure gauge may show high-

er than actual reading when the

compressor is running. To get an

accurate tire pressure, the compres-

sor needs to be turned off.

2.Connect connection hose (9) of the

compressor directly to the tire

valve.

Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph

(80 km/h). If possible, do not fall

below a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).

- To reduce the inflation pres-

sure: Loosen the screw cap (8)

on the compressor hose.

3.Plug the compressor power cord

into the vehicle power outlet.

While driving, if you experience any

unusual vibration, ride disturbance 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

the recommended tire inflation.

With the ignition switched on, pro-

ceed as follows.

Call for road side service or towing.

When you use the Tire Mobility Kit,

the tire pressure sensors and wheel

may be damaged by sealant, remove

the sealant stained with tire pressure

sensors and wheel and inspect in

authorized dealer.

- To increase the inflation pres-

sure : Switch on the compressor,

position I. To check the current

inflation pressure setting, briefly

switch off the compressor.
