If You Have A Flat Tyre (With Tyre Mobility Kit) - Kia Sportage Hybrid 2024 Owner's Manual

What to do in an emergency
If you have a flat tyre (with
Tyre Mobility Kit) (if
equipped)
ONQ5E051004L
1 Compressor
2 Sealant bottle
The Tyre Mobility Kit is not designed or
intended as a permanent tyre repair
method and is to be used for one tyre
only.
The system with compressor and sealing
compound seals most tyre punctures
caused by nails or similar objects and
reinflates the tyre. However, larger
punctures or sidewall damage cannot be
sealed completely.
After ensuring that the tyre is properly
sealed, you can drive cautiously on the
tyre (for a distance of up to 200 km (120
miles)) at maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) in order to reach a service sta -
tion or a tyre dealer to have the tyre
replaced.
Avoid abrupt steering or other driving
manoeuvres if the vehicle is heavily
loaded or if a trailer is in use.
Refer to "Notes on the safe use of the
Tyre Mobility Kit" on page 8-25.
WARNING
僅 Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit to
repair punctures in the tyre walls. This
can result in an accident due to tyre
failure.
僅 Have your tyre repaired as soon as
possible. The tyre may loose air pres -

sure at any time after inflating with
the Tyre Mobility Kit.
僅 Do not use the TMK if a tyre is
severely damaged by driving run flat
or with insufficient air pressure. Only
punctured areas located within the
tread region of the tyre can be sealed
using the TMK.
僅 Do not use the Tyre sealant after the
sealant has expired (i.e. past the expi -
ration date on the sealant container).
This can increase the risk of tyre fail -
ure.
僅 Keep the sealant out of reach of chil -
dren, avoid sealant contact with eyes
and do not swallow the sealant.
CAUTION
When two or more tyres are flat, do not
use the tyre mobility kit because the
supported one sealant of Tyre Mobility
Kit is only used for one flat tyre.
