Checking The Tyre Inflation Pressure; Notes On The Safe Use Of The Tyre Mobility Kit - Kia Sorento Owner's Manual

Checking the tyre inflation
pressure
1.After driving approximately 7~10
km (4~6 miles or about 10 min-
utes), stop at a suitable location.
2.Connect connection hose (9) of the
compressor directly to the tyre
valve.
3.Connect between compressor and
the vehicle battery using the cable
and connectors.
4.Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to
200 kPa (29 psi). With the ignition
switched on, proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres-
sure: Switch on the compressor,
position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting, briefly
switch off the compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run
for more than 10 minutes, other-
wise the device will overheat
and may be damaged.
- To reduce the inflation pres-
sure: Press the button (8) on the
compressor.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a
second time, refer
Distributing the sealant. Then
repeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffec-
tual for tyre damage larger than
approximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
We recommend that you contact
an authorised Kia dealer if the
tyre cannot be made roadworthy
with the Tyre Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tyre inflation pressure must
be at least 200 kPa (29 psi). If it
is not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or
towing.
What to do in an emergency
Notes on the safe use of the
Tyre Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
TMK away from moving traffic.
Place your warning triangle in a
prominent place to make passing
to vehicles aware of your location.
• To be sure your vehicle will not
move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
• Only use the TMK for sealing/infla-
tion passenger car tyres. Do not
use on motorcycles, bicycles or
any other type of tyres.
• Do not remove any foreign objects-
such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tyre.
• Before using the TMK, read the
precautionary advice printed on
the sealant bottle!
• Provided the car is outdoors, leave
the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.
