It is possible that some tyres, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age 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
puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the Tyre Mobility Kit".
Notes on the safe use of the Tyre
Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
Tyre Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic.
• 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. Only punctured areas locat-
ed within the tread region of the
tyre can be sealed using the tyre
mobility kit.
• Do not use on motorcycles, bicy-
cles or any other type of tyres.
• When the tyre and wheel are dam-
aged, do not use Tyre Mobility Kit
for your safety.
• Use of the Tyre Mobility Kit may not
be effective for tyre damage larger
than approximately 0.24 in (6 mm).
We recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
What to do in an emergency
• Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit if a
tyre is severely damaged by driving
run flat or with insufficient air pres-
sure.
• Do not remove any foreign objects-
such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tyre.
• 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).
