Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay mobile even after experiencing a
tire puncture.
The system compressor and sealing
compound effectively seal most
punctures in a passenger car tire
caused by nails or similar objects and
reinflates the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is prop-
erly sealed, you can drive cautiously
on the tire at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) in order to reach a vehicle or
tire dealer to have the tire replaced as
soon as possible. 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.
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.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the Tire Mobility Kit".
WARNING- Temporary fix
Have your tire repaired as soon
as possible. The tire may lose
air pres-sure at any time after
inflating with the Tire Mobility
Kit.
CAUTION
When reinstalling the repaired or replaced tire and wheel on thevehicle, tighten the wheel lugnut to 11~13kgf·m (79~94 lbf·ft).

WARNING - Sealant
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Do not swallow.
WARNING - Expired sealant
Do not use the Tire sealant after
the sealant has expired (i.e.
after the expiration date on the
sealant container). This can
increase the risk of tire failure.

Using the Tire Mobility Kit
1. Detach the speed restriction label
(1) from the sealant bottle (2), 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. Filling the sealant Strictly follow the specified sequence, otherwise
the sealant may escape under
high pressure.
3. Shake the sealant bottle.

4. Screw the filling hose (a) onto theconnector of the sealant bottle (1).
5. Insert the sealant bottle into the housing(b) of the compressor so
that the bottle is upright.
6. Ensure that the button (9) on the compressor is not pressed. 7. Unscrew the valve cap from the
valve of the defective wheel and
screw filling hose (3) of the sealant
bottle onto the valve.✽ ✽NOTICE
If the sealant is injected when the
tire air pressure injection valve and
sealant injection hose are not fully
interlocked, the sealant may over-
flow and clog the valve.

8. Connect between compressor and
the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors (4).
✽ ✽NOTICE
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet.
9. With the engine start/stop button
position on: 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 "Tires
and wheels" in chapter 9). Be care-
ful not to overinflate the tire and
stay away from the tire when filling
it. When the tire and wheel are
damaged, do not use Tire Mobility
Kit for your safety. 10. Switch off the compressor.
11. Detach the hose from the sealant
bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.

WARNING
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 200 kPa (29 psi). This
could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation is possible if the
engine is left running in a poorly
ventilated or unventilated loca-
tion (such as inside a building).

What to do in an emergency
Distributing the sealant
12. Immediately drive approximately7~10 km (4~6 miles) or about 10
minutes to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit,
the tire pressure sensors and wheel
may be stained by sealant. Therefore,
remove the tire pressure sensors and
wheel stained by sealant and have
your vehicle inspected by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
Checking the tire inflation
pressure
1.After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles) or about 10 min-
utes, stop at a suitable location.
2.Connect the filling hose (3) of the compressor (clip mounted side)
directly and then connect the filling
hose (3) (opposite side) to the tire
valve.
3.Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors.
4.Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 200 kPa (29 psi). With the ignition
switched on, proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres-sure: Switch on the compressor,
position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting, briefly
switch off the compressor. - To reduce the inflation pres-
sure: Press the button (9) on the
compressor.
CAUTION - Tire pressure
sensor
Do not use sealant notapproved by Kia as it may dam-age the tire pressure sensors.The sealant on the tire pressuresensor and wheel should beremoved when you replace thetire with a new one and inspectthe tire pressure sensors at anauthorized dealer.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run
for more than 10 minutes, other-
wise the device will overheat
and may be damaged.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must
be at least 200 kPa, 2 bar (29
psi). If it is not, do not continue
driving. Call for road side serv-
ice or towing.

OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or an author-
ized Kia dealer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehi-
cle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by war-
ranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check the coolant level in coolantreservoir.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Look for low or under-inflated tires.
While operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steer-
ing effort or looseness in the steer-
ing wheel, or change in its straight-
ahead position.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
road.
When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
Check manual transaxle operation, including clutch operation.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
WARNING- Hot coolant
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow
out under pressure.
