What to do in an emergency

If you have a flat tire (with tire mobility kit)

seals most punctures in a passenger car

tire caused by nails or similar objects

and reinflates the tire.

If you have a flat tire (with tire

mobility kit) (if equipped)

For safe operation, carefully read and

follow the instructions in this manual

before use.

After you ensured that the tire is prop

-

erly sealed you can drive cautiously 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.

It is possible that some tires, especially

with larger punctures or damage to the

sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.

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 a temporary fix to

the tire and have your vehicle inspected

by an authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION

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

One sealant for one tire

When two or more tires are flat, do not

use the tire mobility kit because the sup

WARNING

Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair

punctures in the tire walls. This can

result in an accident due to tire failure.

Do not use the TMK if a tire is severely

damaged by driving run flat or with

insufficient air pressure.

WARNING

Only punctured areas located within the

tread region of the tire can be sealed

using the TMK.

Have your tire repaired as soon as possi

ble. The tire may loose air pressure at

any time after inflating with the Tire

Mobility Kit.

WARNING

Expired sealant

Do not use the Tire sealant after the

sealant has expired (i.e. past the expira

tion date on the sealant container). This

can increase the risk of tire failure.

Detach the speed restriction label from

the sealant bottle, and place it in a highly

visible place inside the vehicle such as

on the steering wheel to remind the

driver not to drive too fast.

-

僅 Immediately drive approximately

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

to evenly distribute the sealant in the

tire.

8. Switch on the compressor and let it

run for approximately 5~7 minutes to

fill the sealant up to proper pressure.

(refer to "Tires and wheels" on page 9-

5). The inflation pressure of the tire

after filling is unimportant and will be

checked/corrected later. Be careful

not to overinflate the tire and stay

away from the tire when filling it.

CAUTION

僅 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 disturbance or

noise, reduce your speed and drive

with caution until you can safely pull

off of the side of the road. Call for

road side service or towing.

When the tire and wheel are dam

aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for

your safety.

WARNING

When you use the Tire Mobility Kit, the

wheel may be stained by sealant.

Therefore, remove the wheel stained

by sealant and have the vehicle

inspected at a professional workshop.

Have your vehicle inspected by an

authorized Kia dealer.

If the tire pressure is below 180 kPa (26

psi), do not drive the vehicle. The tire

may cause accident.

9. Switch off the compressor.

10.Detach the sealant filling hoses from

the sealant bottle connector and from

the tire valve. After using, leave the

sealant bottle and the compressor

attached together.

僅 Do not connect another vehicle's Tire

Mobility Kit (TMK) to the power outlet

or battery terminal. The unmatched

power requirement between the vehi

NOTICE

When reinstalling the repaired or

tighten the wheel lug nut to 11~13 kgf·m

(79~94 lbf·ft).

4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the

recommended tire inflation.

Notes on the safe use of the Tire

Mobility Kit

With the ignition switched on, proceed

as follows.

僅 Park your car at the side of the road

so that you can work with the TMK

away from moving traffic. Place your

warning triangle in a prominent place

to make passing vehicles aware of

your location.

僅 To increase the inflation pressure:

Switch on the compressor. To

check the current inflation pressure

setting, briefly switch off the com

-

pressor.

7

僅 To be sure your vehicle will not move,

even when you're on fairly level

ground, always set your parking

brake.

僅 To reduce the inflation pressure:

Turn the valve on the compressor.

WARNING

Do not let the compressor run for more

than 10 minutes, otherwise the device

will overheat and may be damaged.

僅 Only use the TMK for sealing/inflation

passenger car tires. Do not use on

motorcycles, bicycles or any other

type of tires.

僅 Do not remove any foreign objects-

such as nails or screws -that have

penetrated the tire.

CAUTION

If the inflation pressure is not main

-

tained, drive the vehicle a second time,

refer to "Distributing the sealant" on

page 7-16. Then repeat steps 1 to 4.

僅 Before using the TMK, read the pre

-

cautionary advice printed on the seal

ant bottle!

-

Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for

tire damage larger than approximately 4

mm (0.16 of an inch).

僅 Provided the car is outdoors, leave the

engine running. Otherwise operating
