Kia Optima Hybrid 2017 Owner's Manual page 540

It is possible that some tires, especially
with larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may ad‐
versely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving ma‐
neuvers, especially if the vehicle is
heavily loaded or if a trailer is in use.
The TMK is not designed or intended as
a permanent tire repair method and is
to be used for one tire 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 TMK on page 8-20.
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tire is se‐
verely damaged by driving run flat or
with insufficient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tire can be
sealed using the TMK.
