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.

What to do in an emergency
6. Ensure that the compressor isswitched 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.

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 sensorsand wheel may be stained bysealant. Therefore, remove thetire pressure sensors and wheelstained by sealant and haveyour vehicle inspected by anauthorized 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 MobilityKit with sealant not approved byKia, the tire pressure sensorsmay be damaged by sealant. Thesealant on the tire pressure sen-sor and wheel should beremoved when you replace thetire with a new one and inspectthe tire pressure sensors at anauthorized 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.

When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACCposition.
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 tothe transmission.
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.

What to do in an emergency

3. Install the towing hook by turning itclockwise into the hole until it is
fully secured.
4. Remove the towing hook and install the cover after use.Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, have it
done by an authorized Kia dealer
or a commercial tow truck service. If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook under the front (or rear) of
the vehicle. Use extreme caution
when towing the vehicle. A driver
must be in the vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speed.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently.
