er's manual, refer to the "Tires and

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 compres‐

Use of the TMK may be ineffectual
for tire damage larger than approxi‐
mately 4 mm (0.16 in).
Contact a professional workshop if
the tire cannot be made roadworthy
with the Tire Mobility Kit. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must be
at least 250 kPa (36 psi/2.5 bar). 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.
• Do not remove any foreign objects-
such as nails or screws-that have pe‐
netrated the tire.
• Before using the TMK, read the pre‐
cautionary advice printed on the seal‐
ant bottle!
• Provided the car is outdoors, leave
the ON ( indicator ON). Otherwise
operating the compressor may even‐
tually 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 for
your safety.
