1. Compressor
2. Sealant bottle
The Tyre Mobility Kit is a temporary fix
to the tyre and We recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
One sealant for one tyre
When two or more tyres are flat, do not
use the tyre mobility kit because the
supported one sealant of Tyre Mobility
Kit is only used for one flat tyre.
WARNING
Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit to repair
punctures in the tyre walls. This can
result in an accident due to tyre failure.
WARNING
Have your tyre repaired as soon as pos-
sible. The tyre may loose air pressure at
any time after inflating with the Tyre
Mobility Kit.

If you have a flat tyre (with tyre mobility kit)

Introduction
With the Tyre Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tyre
puncture.
The system of compressor and sealing
compound effectively and comfortably
seals most punctures in a passenger car
tyre caused by nails or similar objects
and reinflates the tyre.
After you ensured that the tyre is prop-
erly sealed you can drive cautiously on
the tyre (distance up to 200 km (120
miles)) at a max. speed of 80 km/h (50
mph) in order to reach a service station
or tyre dealer to have the tyre replaced.
It is possible that some tyres, especially
with larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre performance.
For this reason, you should avoid abrupt
steering or other driving manoeuvres,
especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded
or if a trailer is in use.
The Tyre Mobility Kit is not designed or
intended as a permanent tyre repair
method and is to be used for one tyre
only. This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the punc-
ture simply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe use
of the Tyre Mobility Kit" on page 7-26.
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tyre is severely
damaged by driving run flat or with
insufficient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the
tread region of the tyre can be sealed
using the TMK.
