WARNING
nCarbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide poisoning and suf‐focation is possible if the engine isleft running in a poorly ventilated orunventilated location (such as insidea building).
Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately7~10 km (4~6 miles or, about 10
min) to evenly distribute the seal‐
ant in the tire.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h(50 mph). If possible, do not fall be‐low a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).While driving, if you experience anyunusual vibration, ride disturbanceor noise, reduce your speed anddrive with caution until you cansafely pull off of the side of theroad. Call for road side service ortowing.

(Continued)
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit,the tire pressure sensors and wheelmay be stained by sealant. There‐fore, remove the tire pressure sen‐sors and wheel stained by sealantand we recommend to have it in‐spected by an authorized Kia dealer.
Checking the tire inflation
pressure
0+')
1. After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles, or about 10
minutes), stop at a suitable loca‐
tion. 2. Connect connection hose (10) of
the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
3. Connect between compressor and the vehicle battery 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.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run formore than 10 minutes, otherwisethe device will overheat and may bedamaged.
-To reduce the inflation pressure:
Press the button (9) on the com‐
pressor.

What to do in an emergency

CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not main‐tained, drive the vehicle a secondtime, refer to Distributing the seal‐ant. Then repeat steps 1 to 4.Use of the TMK may be ineffectualfor tire damage larger than approxi‐mately 4 mm (0.16 in).We recommend that you contact anauthorized Kia dealer if the tire can‐not be made roadworthy with theTire Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must beat least 200 kPa (29 psi). If it is not,do not continue driving.Call for road side service or towing.
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 TMK
away from moving traffic. Place your warning triangle in a prominent place
to make passing vehicles aware of
your location. • To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you're on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake.
• Only use the TMK for sealing/inflation passenger car tires. Do not use on
motorcycles, bicycles or any other
type of tires.
• Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tire.
• Before using the TMK, read the pre‐ cautionary advice printed on the seal‐ ant bottle!
• Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise oper‐
ating the compressor may eventually
drain the car battery.
• Never leave the TMK unattended 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 TMK if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
• When the tire and wheel are dam‐ aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit foryour safety.

If towing is necessary, we recommendyou to have it done by an authorizedKia dealer or a commercial tow truckservice.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem‐ porarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing 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 on‐ ly 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.
CAUTION
•Attach a towing strap to the towhook.
•Using a portion of the vehicle oth‐er than the tow hooks for towingmay damage the body of your ve‐hicle.
•Use only a cable or chain specifi‐cally intended for use in towingvehicles. Securely fasten the cableor chain to the towing hook provi‐ded.
• Before emergency towing, check if the hook is not broken or damaged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain se‐ curely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply it steadily and with even force.
• To avoid damaging the hook, do not pull from the side or at a vertical an‐
gle. Always pull straight ahead.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towingthe vehicle.•Avoid sudden starts or erratic driv‐ing maneuvers which would placeexcessive stress on the emergencytowing hook and towing cable orchain. The hook and towing cableor chain may break and cause seri‐ous injury or damage.
•If the disabled vehicle is unable tobe moved, do not forcibly continuethe towing. We recommend thatyou contact an authorized Kiadealer or a commercial tow truckservice for assistance.
•Tow the vehicle as straight aheadas possible.
•Keep away from the vehicle duringtowing.

OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per‐
formed at the frequencies indicated to help ensure safe, dependable operation
of your vehicle.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the vehi‐
cle is being driven in severe conditions,
more frequent oil and filter changes are required.
HSG (hybrid starter &
generator) belt
The HSG belt should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.
Fuel filter (for gasoline)
Kia gasoline vehicle is equipped a life‐
time fuel filter that integrated with the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or re‐
placement is not needed but depends
on fuel quality. If there are some im‐ portant safety matters like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard
starting problem etc, fuel filter inspec‐ tion or replace is needed.
We recommend that the fuel filter be
Inspected or replaced by an authorized
Kia dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage. We recommend that the fuel lines, fuel
hoses and connections be replaced by
an authorized Kia dealer.
Vapor hose (for gasoline engine)
and fuel filler cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those intervals
specified in the maintenance schedule.
Make sure that a new vapor hose or
fuel filler cap is correctly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi‐
dence of heat and/or mechanical dam‐ age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking,
tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive
swelling indicate deterioration. Particu‐ lar attention should be paid to examine
those hose surfaces nearest to high
heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with
any heat source, sharp edges or mov‐ ing component which might cause heat
damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all
hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are se‐
cure, and that no leaks are present. Ho‐
ses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence of deterioration
or damage.
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner fil‐
ter be replaced by an authorized Kia dealer.
Spark plugs (for gasoline engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect sparkplugs when the engine is hot. Youmay burn yourself.
