 Do not take this vehicle through an
automatic car wash whilst the com- pact spare tyre is installed.
 Do not use tyre chains on the com- pact spare tyre. Because of the
smaller size, a tyre chain will not fit
properly. This could damage the
vehicle and result in loss of thechain.
 The compact spare tyre should not be installed on the front axle if the
vehicle must be driven in snow or
on ice.
 Do not use the compact spare tyre on any other vehicle because thistyre has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
 The compact spare tyre’s tread life is shorter than a regular tyre.
Inspect your compact spare tyre
regularly and replace worn com-
pact spare tyres with the same sizeand design, mounted on the samewheel.  The compact spare tyre should not
be used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tyres, snow tyres,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the compact spare wheel. Ifsuch use is attempted, damage tothese items or other car compo-
nents may occur.
 Do not use more than one compact spare tyre at a time.
 Do not tow a trailer whilst the com- pact spare tyre is installed.

What to do in an emergency
IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TYRE (WITH TYREMOBILITYKIT, IF EQUIPPED)
Please read the instructions before
using the TyreMobilityKit. (1) Compressor(2) Sealant bottle Introduction
With the TyreMobilityKit you stay mobile
even after experiencing a tyre puncture. The system of compressor and sealing
compound effectively and comfortablyseals most punctures in a passenger
car tyre caused by nails or similar
objects and reinflates the tyre.
After you ensured that the tyre is prop-
erly sealed you can drive cautiously onthe tyre (up to 200 km (120 miles)) at a
max. speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) in
order to reach a vehicle or tyre dealer to
have the tyre replaced.
It is possible that some tyres, especiallywith larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre performance.
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 TyreMobilityKit is not designed or
intended as a permanent tyre repair
method and is to be used for one tyre
only.
This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the
puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the TyreMobilityKit".

WARNING
Do not use the TyreMobilityKit if
a tyre is severely damaged bydriving run flat or with insuffi-
cient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the tread region of thetyre can be sealed using the
TyreMobilityKit.
Damage to the sidewall must
not be repaired due to safety rea-
sons.

What to do in an emergency
TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an autho-
rised KIA dealer or a commercial tow-
truck service. Proper lifting and towing
procedures are necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle. The use of wheeldollies or flatbed is recommended.
For trailer towing guidelines information, refer to “Trailer towing” in section 5.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground (without dol-
lies) and the front wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspen- sion components are damaged or the
vehicle is being towed with the front
wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly
under the front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used, the
front of the vehicle should always be lift-
ed, not the rear.
CAUTION
 Do not tow the vehicle backwards with the front wheels on the
ground as this may cause dam-age to the vehicle.
 Do not tow with sling-type equip- ment. Use wheel lift or flatbedequipment.
