What to do in an emergency
setting, briefly switch off the
compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may be
damaged.
- To reduce the inflation pressure:
Press the button (9) on the
compressor.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a
second time, refer to "Checking the
tire inflation pressure" on page 7-35.
Then repeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual
for tire damage larger than
approximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
Contact a professional workshop if
the tire cannot be made roadworthy
with the Tire Mobility Kit. Kia
recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must be
at least 200 kPa (29 psi). If it is not,
do not continue driving. Call for road
side service or towing.

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (WITH TIRE MOBILITY KIT)
Notes on the safe use of the Tire
Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of the
road so 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
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 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
damaged, do not use Tire Mobility
Kit for your safety.
