Notes on the safe use of the Tyre Mobility Kit
 Park your car at the side of theroad so that you can work with the
Tyre Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic. Place your warning triangle
in a prominent place to make pass-
ing vehicles aware of your location.
 To be sure your vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
 Only use the Tyre Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tyres. Do not use on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tyres.
 Do not remove any foreign objects- such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tyre.
 Before using the Tyre Mobility Kit, read the precautionary advice
printed on the sealant bottle!
 Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.  Never leave the Tyre Mobility Kit
unattended whilst it is being used.
 Do not leave the compressor run- ning for more than 10 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
 Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
 Do not use the sealing compound after its expiration date which can
be found on the label of the bottle.

What to do in an emergency
✽✽NOTICE
If the TPMS, Low Tyre Pressure and Position indicators do not illuminate
for 3 seconds when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position or engine
is running, or if they remain illumi-
nated after coming on for approxi-
mately 3 seconds, we recommend that
you contact an authorised Kia dealer.Low tyre pressure tell- tale
Low tyre pressure posi- tion telltale
When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated, one or more of your tyres is
significantly under-inflated. The lowtyre pressure position telltale lightwill indicate which tyre is significant-
ly under-inflated by illuminating thecorresponding position light.
If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tyres as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with
the spare tyre. Then the TPMS malfunction indicator
may turn on and the Low Tyre
Pressure and Position telltales will
remain on after restarting and about
20 minutes of continuous driving
before you have the low pressuretyre repaired and replaced on the
vehicle.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the
low tyre pressure telltale may beilluminated if the tyre pressurewas adjusted to the recom- mended tyre inflation pressurein warm weather. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunction- ing because the decreased tem-perature leads to a proportionallowering of tyre pressure.
When you drive your vehiclefrom a warm area to a cold area or from a cold area to a warmarea, or the outside temperatureis greatly higher or lower, you should check the tyre inflationpressure and adjust the tyres tothe recommended tyre inflation pressure.
