What to do in an emergency
✽ ✽NOTICE
The sealant container and insert
hose (3) cannot be reused. Purchase
an extra after use.
WARNING
If the sealant gets on your
skin, wash it with a large
amount of water. If skin irrita-
tion continues, visit a doctor
for examination.
If the sealant gets into your eyes, raise your eyelid and
wash for at least 15 minutes. If
eye irritation continues, visit a
doctor for examination.
If you have drank the sealant, wash the mouth and drink a
large amount of water.
However, do not give anything
to an unconscious person
and see the doctor immediate-
ly.
Exposure to the sealant for a
long time may cause damage
to the bodily tissues.

What to do in an emergency
Using the Tire Mobility Kit
Carefully follow below steps.

ODEP067048
WARNING
Before using the Tire Mobility
Kit, follow the instructions on
the sealant bottle.
Remove the label with the
speed restriction from the
sealant bottle and apply it to the
steering wheel.
Please note the expiry date on
the sealant bottle.
CAUTION
Before using the tire repair kit,please read carefully theinstruction attached on thesealant bottle. Detach the speedlimit label on the sealant caseand put it on a highly visibleplace. Always drive within thespeed limit.

2. Connect the filling hose (3) onto
the connector of the sealant bottle
(A).
3. Ensure that button (9) on the com- pressor is not pressed. 4. Unscrew the valve cap from the
valve of the defective wheel and
screw filling hose (3) of the sealant
bottle onto the valve.
5. Insert the sealant bottle into the housing of the compressor (5) so
that the bottle is upright.✽ ✽NOTICE
If a visable foreign object has punc-
tured the tire, do not remove it
before using Tire Mobility Kit.
✽ ✽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.

6. Ensure that the compressor isswitched off, position 0.
7 Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet (4) using
the cable and connectors.
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
cold tire recommended pressure.
(refer to the Tire and Wheels,
chapter 9). The inflation pressure
of the tire after filling is unimpor-
tant and will be checked/corrected
later. Be careful not to overinflate
the tire and stay away from the tire
when filling it. 9. Switch off the compressor.
10. 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.
Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately 4 ~ 6 miles (7 ~ 10 km or, about
10 min) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.
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).
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.
ODE066008L
WARNING - Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation is possible if
the engine is left running in a
poorly ventilated or unventilat-
ed location (such as inside a
building).
ODE066040N
WARNING - Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 29 psi (200 kPa). This
could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.

Checking the tire inflation
pressure
1. After driving approximately 4 ~ 6
miles (7 ~ 10 km or about 10 min),
stop at a safe location.
2. Connect the filling hose (3) of the compressor (clip mounted side)
directly and then connect the fill
ing hose (3) (opposite side) to the
tire valve.
3. Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors.
3. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the cold tire recommended pres-
sure as indicated on the vehicle’s
placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver’s side
center pillar outer panel. (In this
owner’s manual, refer to the Tire
and Wheels, chapter 9)
- To increase the inflation pres- sure : Switch on the compres-
sor, position I. To check the cur-
rent inflation pressure setting,
briefly switch off the compressor.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The pressure gauge may show high-
er than actual reading when the
compressor is running. To get an
accurate tire reading, the compres-
sor needs to be turned off.CAUTION
When you use the Tire Mobility
Kit, the tire pressure sensorsand wheel may be stained bysealant. Therefore, remove thetire pressure sensors and wheelstained by sealant and haveyour vehicle inspected by anauthorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
Do not let the compressor runfor more than 10 minutes; other-wise, the device may overheatand be damaged.

727
What to do in an emergency
- To reduce the inflation pres-sure: Press the button (9) on the
compressor.
CAUTION - Tire pressure
sensor
When you use the Tire MobilityKit including sealant notapproved by Kia, the tire pres-sure sensors may be damagedby sealant. The sealant on thetire pressure sensor and wheelshould be removed when youreplace the tire with a new oneand inspect the tire pressuresensors at an authorized dealer.

TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized Kia dealer or a commer-
cial tow-truck service. Proper lifting
and towing procedures are neces-
sary to prevent damage to the vehi-
cle. The use of wheel dollies (1) or
flatbed is recommended.On FWD vehicles, it is acceptable to
tow the vehicle with the rear wheels
on the ground (without dollies) and
the front wheels off the ground. If any
of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the
vehicle is being towed with the front
wheels on the ground, use a towing
dolly under the front wheels. When
being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the front of the vehicle should always
be lifted, not the rear.
WARNING - Side and
curtain Air bag
If your vehicle is equipped with
side and curtain air bag, set the
ignition switch to LOCK or ACC
position when the vehicle is
being towed.
The side and curtain air bag
may deploy when the ignition is
ON, and the rollover sensor
detects the situation as a
rollover.
ODE066010L

What to do in an emergency

When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
2. Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.Removable towing hook
(if equipped)
1. Open the liftgate, and remove the towing hook from the tool case.
2. Remove the hole cover pressing the upper (front) / lower (rear) part
of the cover on the bumper.
CAUTION - Towing gear
position
Failure to place the transaxleshift lever in N (Neutral) maycause internal damage to thetransaxle.
CAUTION - Towing
Do not tow the vehicle back- wards with the front wheels onthe ground as this may causedamage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Use wheel lift orflatbed equipment.
