For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use. (1) Compressor(2) Sealant bottle
The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary
fix to the tire and we recommend that
the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture. The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tire caused by nailsor similar objects and reinflates the
tire.
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 of80 km/h (50 mph) in order to reach a
service station or tire dealer to havethe tire replaced.
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.
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kitto repair punctures in the tire
walls. This can result in an acci-
dent due to tire failure.
WARNING
Have your tire repaired as soon
as possible. The tire may loose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tire Mobility Kit.
WARNING
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.
CAUTION

What to do in an emergency
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".Notes on the safe use of the Tire Mobility Kit
Park your car at the side of the roadso that you can work with the Tire
Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.
To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you're on fairly level
ground, always set your parking
brake.
Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for seal- ing/inflation passenger car tires. Onlypunctured areas located within thetread region of the tire can be sealedusing the tire mobility kit.
Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles or any other type of tires.
When the tire and wheel are dam- aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for
your safety.
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 roadworthy
with the Tire Mobility Kit, we recom-
mend that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire is severely damaged by driving run
flat or with insufficient air pressure. Do not remove any foreign objects
such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.
Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise oper-
ating the compressor may eventually
drain the car battery.
Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit unat- tended while it is being used.
Do not leave the compressor running for more than 10 min. at a time or it
may overheat.
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
In case of skin contact with the sealant, wash the area thoroughly
with plenty of water. If the irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
In case of eye contact with the sealant, flush your eyes for at least 15
minutes. If the irritation persists, seekmedical attention.
In case of swallowing the sealant, rinse the mouth and drink plenty of
water. However, never give anythingto an unconscious person and seek
medical attention immediately.
Long time exposure to the sealant may cause damage to bodily tissue
such as kidney, etc.
Do not use the TMK if a tire is
severely damaged by driving runflat or with insufficient air pres-
sure.
Only punctured areas located within the tread region of the tire
can be sealed using the TMK.

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.

5. Plug the compressor power cord(4) into the vehicle power outlet.
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet when connecting the
power cord.
6. With the ignition switch in the ON position, switch on the compres-
sor 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). Theinflation 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 tirewhen filling it.
7. Switch off the compressor.
8. Detach the hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.

10min) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.
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 pulloff of the side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.
