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, seek medical
attention.
If the sealant gets into your
eyes, raise your eyelid and

However, do not give anything
to an unconscious person and
see the doctor immediately.
Exposure to the sealant for a
long time may cause damage
to your body.

What to do in an emergency
6. Ensure that the compressor is
switched off, position 0.
7. Connect between compressor and
the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors (4).
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 “Tires and wheels” in
chapter 8.). Be careful not to over-
inflate 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.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.
ODEP069008
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.

What to do in an emergency
36 6
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.
4. 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. (Refer to
“Tires and wheels” in chapter 8.)
- 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 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
authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run
for more than 10 minutes; other-
wise, the device may overheat
and be damaged.

637
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 Mobility
Kit with sealant not approved by
Kia, the tire pressure sensors
may be damaged by sealant. The
sealant on the tire pressure sen-
sor and wheel should be
removed when you replace the
tire with a new one and inspect
the tire pressure sensors at an
authorized dealer.

What to do in an emergency

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
39 6

When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
2. Place the transmission 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 lower part of the cover on the
bumper.
CAUTION - Towing gear
position
Failure to place the transmis-
sion shift lever in N (Neutral)
may cause internal damage to
the transmission.
CAUTION - Towing
Do not tow the vehicle back-
wards with the front wheels on
the ground as this may cause
damage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
