Checking The Tire Inflation Pressure; Notes On The Safe Use Of The Tire Mobility Kit - Kia E-Soul Owner's Manual

Checking the tire inflation
pressure
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 power outlet using the
cable and connectors.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
230 kPa (33 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 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 com‐
pressor.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not main‐
tained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to Distributing the seal‐
ant. Then repeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual
for tire damage larger than approxi‐
mately 4 mm (0.16 in).
We recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer if the tire can‐

not be made roadworthy with the
Tire Mobility Kit.
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.
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.
