6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts coun-terclockwise one turn each, but do
not remove any nut until the tire
has been raised off the ground. 7. Place the jack at the front or rear
jacking position closest to the tire
you are changing. Place the jackat the designated locations under
the frame. The jacking positions
are plates welded to the frame
with two tabs and a raised dot to
index with the jack. 8. Insert the jack handle into the jack
and turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tire just clears the
ground. This measurement is
approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).
Before removing the wheel lug
nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-
ble and that there is no chance for
movement or slippage.
9. Remove the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise,
then remove the wheel.
10. Mount the spare tire into position and install the wheel lug nuts
with the beveled edge inward.
WARNING - Jack location
To reduce the possibility of
injury, be sure to use only the
jack provided with the vehicle
and in the correct jack position;
never use any other part of the
vehicle for jack support.

11. Once the wheel lug nuts have
been tightened, lower the vehicle
fully to the ground and continue to
tighten the lug nuts until they are
fully secured. Tighten the wheel
lug nuts firmly in a “X” pattern.
If you are unsure of the tightness
of the wheel lug nuts, have them
checked at the nearest service
station. The specified tighteningtorque is 9~11 kgm (65-79 lbft,
88-107 Nm). Improperly tight-
ened wheel lug nuts could cause
brake pedal vibration while brak-ing. To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire
from rattling while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.
1SAE4017
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the wheel studs and nuts.Make certain during wheelremoval that the same nuts removed are reinstalled - or, ifreplaced, that nuts with metricthreads and the same chamfer configuration are used.Installation of a non-metricthread nut on a metric stud or vice-versa will not secure thewheel to the hub properly andwill damage the stud so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do nothave metric threads. Be sure touse extreme care in checkingfor thread style before installing aftermarket lug nuts or wheels.If in doubt, consult anAuthorized Kia Dealer.
WARNING - Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they
may lose their ability to retain
the wheel. This could lead to theloss of the wheel and a colli-sion.
WARNING
Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing
the spare tire. Adjust it to the
specified pressure, if necessary.
Refer to Section 8, Specifications.

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH TIREMOBILITYKIT)
Please read the instructions before
using the TireMobilityKit. Introduction
With the TireMobilityKit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture. The system of compressor
and sealing compound effectively
and comfortably seals most punc-tures in a passenger car tire caused
by nails or similar objects and rein-
flates the tire. After you ensured that
the tire is properly sealed you can
drive cautiously on the tire (up to 200
km / 120 miles) at a max. speed of 80km/h / 50 mph in order to reach a
vehicle or tire dealer to have the tirereplaced.
It is possible that some tires, espe- cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely. Air pressure loss in the
tire may adversely effect tire per-
formance. For this reason, you
should avoid abrupt steering or other
driving manoeuvres, especially if the
vehicle is heavily loaded or if a trailer
is in use. The TireMobilityKit is not
designed or intended as a perma-nent tire repair method and is to be
used for one tire only.This instruction manual shows you
step by step how to temporarily seal
the puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the TireMobilityKit".
WARNING
Do not use the TireMobilityKit if
a tire is severely damaged bydriving run flat or with insuffi-
cient air pressure. Only punc-tured areas located within thetread region of the tire can be
sealed using the TireMobilityKit.
Damage to the sidewall must
not be repaired due to safetyreasons.

What to do when a tire is punctured
A punctured tire is repaired in two
stages. In the 1st stage, sealingcompound and air is inflated into the
tire and the vehicle driven a shortdistance (3 km / 2 miles) to spread
the compound inside the tire. In the
2nd stage, the inflation pressure is
checked and, if necessary, more air
is added into the tire. It is then possi-
ble to drive cautiously with the tire up
to 200 km / 120 miles at a maximumspeed of 80 km/h / 50 mph in order
to reach a vehicle or tire dealer to
have the tire replaced. If so inform
other drivers that the TireMobilityKit
has been used and provide advice
and warnings about changed driving
behaviour. 1st Stage: Pump sealing com- pound and air into the tire
1. Open the lid and remove the
speed label ( ➀) from the
TireMobilityKit and place it in the
car, within clear view of the driver. 2. Remove the hose (
➁) and the
power cable ( ➂) from the
TireMobilityKit.

3. Unscrew the bottle holder cap (➃)
and the lid of the sealant bottle ( ➄ ). 4. Screw the bottle clockwise into the
bottle socket ( ➅) until it is tight. 5. Unscrew the valve cap from the
defective tire.
6. Screw the hose ( ➆) of the
TireMobilityKit firmly onto the tire
valve.
7. Ensure that the On/Off switch ( ➇)
is in the "O"-position.
8. Place the electric plug ( ➈) into the
cigarette lighter socket (12 Volt,
see instruction manual of the vehi-
cle). Do not use any other electric
socket in the car.
9. Start the engine of the vehicle. (Only if the vehicle is outdoors!)
1SAE61041SAE6105
CAUTION
Screwing the sealant bottle into
the socket will break the bottle seal. Do not unscrew the filledbottle from the socket - sealantcould come out.CAUTION
Carbonmonoxide poisoning andsuffocation is possible if theengine is left running in a poor- ly ventilated or unventilatedlocation (such as inside a build-ing).

10. Switch the On/Off switch (
➇) to
the "I"-position.
Please note: When the sealing compound is added through the
tire valve the pressure gauge
could increase from approxi-
mately 4-6 bar (60-90 psi), but itwill drop again after about 30
seconds. 11. Inflate the tire to at least 1.8 bar
(26 psi) and at most 3.5 bar (51
psi) within 7 minutes. Switch off
the compressor briefly by press-
ing "O" so as to be able to readthe actual tire inflation pressure
on the gauge.
CAUTION
During the tire inflation opera-
tion do not stand next to thedamaged tire. Check the side-wall of the tire for unusual bulges or deformations.Discontinue the inflation opera-tion and deflate the tire by using the pressure release (
➉), if any
unusual appearance is noticed.
CAUTION
If a tire inflation pressure of 1.8 bar (26 psi) is not achievablewithin 7 minutes, the tire is tooseverely damaged and you must not drive on the tire. Call forroad side service or towing.

12. If a tire inflation pressure of 1.8bar (26 psi) is reached, turn the
on / off switch to the "0" position,
quickly unscrew the hose from
the tire. Unplug the cable from
the cigarette lighter. Do not
unscrew the bottle. Stow theTireMobilityKit, the bottle cap and
the bottle holder cap safely in the
vehicle in an easily accessible
place, as it will be needed again
to check tire pressure.
13. Drive immediately and cautiously for about 3 km / 2 miles so thatthe sealing compound can seal
the puncture. Do not exceed 80
km/h / 50 mph. If while driving,
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. 2nd Stage: Check tire pressure
14. Stop after driving for about 3 km
/ 2 miles and check the pressure
of the punctured tire as follows:
a) Ensure that the On/Off-switch (➇ ) of the compressor is in the
"O"-position.
b) Screw the hose onto the valve of the punctured tire.
c) Plug the power cable into the cigarette lighter (12 volt socket).
d) Read the inflation pressure on the gauge of the TireMobilityKit.CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is below
1.3 bar (19 psi), do not continueto drive. Call for road side serv- ice or towing.

15. If the inflation pressure is 1.3 bar
(19 psi) or more, turn the on/off
switch to the "I"-position andadjust the inflation pressure tothe recommended inflation pres-
sure (see service manual of the
vehicle). Reduce any excessive
pressure by using the pressure
release valve ( ➉).
16. Turn kit off by pressing "O". Unscrew the hose from the tire
valve and unplug the electric plug
from the socket. 17. Do not unscrew the bottle. Stow
the TireMobilityKit safely in the
vehicle. 18. Drive to the next vehicle or tire
dealer to replace the tire.
✽✽NOTICE
After a long period without driving,
the inflation pressure must be
checked before driving.
19. After using the TireMobilityKit to seal your tire, replace the hose, the sealing compound and con-
nected parts. See last page of
this manual. When replacing the
damaged tire inform the tiremechanic that a sealing com-
pound was used before the tire isdemounted!
CAUTION
After the sealing compound has
been used, the max. permissiblespeed is 80 km/h / 50 mph andthe damaged tire is to be replaced promptly, at least with-in a distance of 200 km / 120miles. If while driving, you expe- rience any unusual vibration,ride disturbance or noise,reduce your speed and drive with caution until you can sefelypull off of the side of the road.Call for road side service or tow- ing.
