Checking The Tyre Inflation Pressure - Kia Sorento 2022 Manual

What to do in an emergency

Checking the tyre inflation pressure

1. After driving approximately 7 ~ 10
km (4 ~ 6 miles or about 10 min),
stop at a safety location.
2. Connect the filling hose of the
compressor directly to the tyre
valve.
OMQ4H061005
3. Connect between compressor and
the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors.
4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure
to the recommended tyre infla-
tion.
With the ignition switched on,
proceed as follows.
To increase the inflation pres-
sure: Switch on the compressor.
To check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch
off the compressor.
To reduce the inflation pres-
sure: Turn the valve on the
compressor.
If you have a flat tyre (with tyre mobility kit)
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may be
damaged.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not main-
tained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to "Distributing the seal-
ant" on page 7-32. Then repeat
steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual
for tyre damage larger than
approximately 4 mm (0.16 of an
inch).
We recommend that you contact a
professional workshop if the tyre
cannot be made roadworthy with
the Tyre Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tyre inflation pressure must be
at least 180 kPa (26 psi). If it is not,
do not continue driving. Call for road
side service or towing.
NOTICE
When reinstalling the repaired or
replaced tyre and wheel on the vehi-
cle, tighten the wheel lug nut to 11 ~
13 kgf m (79 ~ 94 lbf ft).
