follow the instructions in this manual
before use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary fix to
the tire, we recommend that the tire be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION
When two or more tires are flat, do not
use the Tire Mobility Kit because the
sealant provided with the Tire Mobility Kit
must be used for only one flat tire.
WARNING
• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair
punctures in the tire walls. This can
result in an accident due to tire failure.
• Have your tire repaired as soon as
possible. The tire may lose air pressure
at any time after inflating with the Tire
Mobility Kit.

Introduction

With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay mobile
even after experiencing a tire puncture.
The compressor and sealing compound
system effectively and comfortably seals
most punctures in a passenger car tire
caused by nails or similar objects and
reinflates the tire.
After you are ensure that the tire is
properly sealed you can drive cautiously
on the tire (distance up to 200 km (120
mi.)) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50
mph) in order to reach a service station or
tire dealer for tire replacement.
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 adversely
affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid abrupt
steering or other driving maneuvers,
especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded
or if a trailer is in use.
The Tire Mobility Kit 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 Tire Mobility Kit".
