僅 Checking Tyre Inflation Pressure - Kia Niro Owner's Manual

What to do in an emergency
WARNING
僅 Do not leave your vehicle running in a
poorly ventilated area for extended
periods of time. Carbon monoxide
poisoning and suffocation can occur.
僅 If the tyre pressure is below 26 psi
(180 kPa), do not drive the vehicle.
The tyre may cause accident.
CAUTION
僅 Securely install the sealant filling hose
to the valve. If not, sealant may flow
backward, possibly clogging the filling
hose.
僅 Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). If possible, do not fall below
a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph). Whilst
driving, if you experience any unusual
vibration, ride disturbance or noise,
reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off of
the side of the road. Call for road side
service or towing. When you use the
Tyre Mobility Kit, the wheel may be
stained by sealant. Therefore, remove
the wheel stained by sealant and have
the vehicle inspected at a professional
workshop. Kia recommends visiting
an authorised Kia dealer/service part -
ner.
Checking tyre inflation pressure
Operation
1. After driving approximately 7~10 km
(4~6 miles, or approximately 10 min -
utes), stop the vehicle in a safe, level
place.
2. Connect the filling hose directly to the
tyre valve.
If you have a flat tyre (with Tyre Mobility Kit)
OSG2H061007
3. Connect the power outlet connector.
4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to
the specified value.
僅 Turn the compressor on to increase
the inflation pressure. Turn the
compressor off briefly to check the
current inflation pressure.
僅 Turn the compressor valve to
reduce the inflation pressure.
WARNING
僅 Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise the
device will overheat and may be dam -
aged.
僅 The tyre inflation pressure must be
inflated to the proper pressure (Refer
to "Tyres and wheels" on page 10-8). If
it is not, do not continue driving. Call
for road side service or towing.
CAUTION
僅 If the inflation pressure is not main -
tained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to "Distributing the sealant -
tyre mobility kitdistributing the seal -
ant" on page 8-24. Then repeat steps
1 to 4.
僅 Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for
tyre damage larger than approxi -
mately 4 mm (0.16 inches).
僅 We recommend that you contact a
professional workshop if the tyre can -
not be made roadworthy with the
Tyre Mobility Kit.
