What to do in an emergency
WARNING
Speed with Temporary Fix
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80
km/h) when driving with a tire sealed
with the Tire Mobility Kit.
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance, or
noise, reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off to
the side of the road.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay mobile
even after experiencing a tire puncture.
The system of compressor and sealing
compound effectively seals most punc-
tures in a passenger car tire caused by
nails or similar objects and reinflates the
tire.
After you ensure that the tire is properly
sealed you can drive cautiously on the
tire at a max. speed of 50 mph (80 km/
h) in order to reach a service station or
tire dealer to have the tire replaced as
soon as possible.
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 the step by
step procedure to temporarily seal the
puncture.
If you have a flat tire (with Tire Mobility Kit)
Read the section "Notes on the safe use
of the Tire Mobility Kit".
Notes on the safe use of the Tire
Mobility Kit
僅 Park your car at the side of the road
so that you can work with the Tire
Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.
僅 To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you're on fairly level
ground, always set your parking
brake.
僅 Only use inflating Tire Mobility Kit for
sealing/inflation passenger car tires.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tire can be
sealed using the Tire Mobility Kit.
僅 Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles or
any other type of tires.
僅 When the tire and wheel are dam-
aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for
your safety.
僅 Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not be
effective for tire damage larger than
approximately 0.16 inches (4 mm).
Please contact the nearest Kia dealer-
ship if the tire cannot be made road-
worthy with the Tire Mobility Kit.
僅 Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire
is severely damaged by driving with
flat tires or with insufficient air pres-
sure.
僅 Do not remove any foreign objects
such as nails or screws that have pen-
etrated the tire.
僅 Provided the car is outdoors, leave the
vehicle ON (READY indicator ON).
Otherwise operating the compressor
may eventually drain the car battery.
僅 Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit unat-
tended while it is being used.
