What to do in an emergency
IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TYRE (WITH TYRE MOBILITY KIT, IF EQUIPPED)
Please read the instructions before
using the Tyre Mobility Kit. (1) Compressor(2) Sealant bottle Introduction
With the Tyre Mobility Kit 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 Tyre Mobility Kit 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 Tyre Mobility Kit".

WARNING
Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit
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
Tyre Mobility Kit.
Damage to the sidewall must
not be repaired due to safety rea-
sons.

What to do in an emergency
Using the Tyre Mobility Kit
1. Filling the sealant
Strictly follow the specified sequence,
otherwise the sealant may escape
under high pressure.
1) Shake the sealant bottle.
2) Screw connection hose 9 onto theconnector of the sealant bottle.
3) Ensure that button 8 on the com- pressor is not pressed.
4) Unscrew the valve cap from the valve of the defective wheel and
screw filling hose 2 of the sealant
bottle onto the valve.
5) Insert the sealant bottle into the housing of the compressor so that
the bottle is upright. 6) Ensure that the compressor is
switched off, position 0.
7) Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using
the cable and connectors.
8) With the ignition switched on: Switch on the compressor and let it
run for approximately 3 minutes to fill
the sealant. The inflation pressure of
the tyre after filling is unimportant. 9) Switch off the compressor. 10)
Detach the hoses from the sealant bottle connector and
from the tyre valve.
Return the Tyre Mobility Kit to its
storage location in the vehicle.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation is possible if the
engine is left running in a poorly
ventilated or unventilated loca-
tion (such as inside a building).

Distributing the sealant
Immediately drive approximately 3 km
(2 miles) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tyre. Producing the tyre inflation pres- sure
1) After driving approximately 3 km (2
miles), 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 power outlet using
the cable and connectors.
4) Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to 220 kPa (32 psi). With the igni-
tion switched on, proceed as fol-
lows.
- To increase the inflation pres- sure: Switch on the compressor,
position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting, briefly
switch off the compressor. - To reduce the inflation pres-
sure: Press the button 8 on the
compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may
be damaged.
WARNING
The tyre inflation pressure must
be at least 220 kPa (32 psi). If it is
not, do not continue driving. Call
for road side service or towing.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). If possible, donot fall below a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).
Whilst driving, if you experienceany unusual vibration, ride dis-turbance or noise, reduce yourspeed and drive with caution until you can safely pull off ofthe side of the road.
Call for road side service or tow-ing.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is notmaintained, drive the vehicle asecond time, refer to Distributing the sealant. Then repeat steps 1to 4.
Use of the Tyre Mobility Kit maybe ineffectual for tyre damagelarger than approximately 6 mm (0.24 in).
We recommend that you contactthe nearest Kia A/S centre, or aworkshop that works according toKia repair procedures with corre- spondingly trained personnel ifthe tyre cannot be made roadwor-thy with the Tyre Mobility Kit.

Notes on the safe use of the Tyre Mobility Kit
 Park your car at the side of theroad so that you can work with the
Tyre Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic. Place your warning triangle
in a prominent place to make pass-
ing vehicles aware of your location.
 To be sure your vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
 Only use the Tyre Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation 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 Tyre Mobility Kit, 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.  Never leave the Tyre Mobility Kit
unattended whilst it is being used.
 Do not leave the compressor run- ning for more than 10 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
 Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
 Do not use the sealing compound after its expiration date which can
be found on the label of the bottle.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)
(1) Low tyre pressure telltale / TPMS malfunction indicator
(2) Low tyre pressure position tell- tale
Each tyre, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthlywhen cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.) As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyrepressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-nificantly under-inflated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to
tyre failure. Under-inflation alsoreduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-bility to maintain correct tyre pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tyre pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-function indicator is combined with
the low tyre pressure telltale. Whenthe system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehi-
cle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunctionindicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tyres or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunctiontelltale after replacing one or more
tyres or wheels on your vehicle toensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function proper-
ly.

What to do in an emergency
✽✽NOTICE
If the TPMS, Low Tyre Pressure and Position indicators do not illuminate
for 3 seconds when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position or engine
is running, or if they remain illumi-
nated after coming on for approxi-
mately 3 seconds, we recommend that
you contact an authorised Kia dealer.Low tyre pressure tell- tale
Low tyre pressure posi- tion telltale
When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated, one or more of your tyres is
significantly under-inflated. The lowtyre pressure position telltale lightwill indicate which tyre is significant-
ly under-inflated by illuminating thecorresponding position light.
If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tyres as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with
the spare tyre. Then the TPMS malfunction indicator
may turn on and the Low Tyre
Pressure and Position telltales will
remain on after restarting and about
20 minutes of continuous driving
before you have the low pressuretyre repaired and replaced on the
vehicle.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the
low tyre pressure telltale may beilluminated if the tyre pressurewas adjusted to the recom- mended tyre inflation pressurein warm weather. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunction- ing because the decreased tem-perature leads to a proportionallowering of tyre pressure.
When you drive your vehiclefrom a warm area to a cold area or from a cold area to a warmarea, or the outside temperatureis greatly higher or lower, you should check the tyre inflationpressure and adjust the tyres tothe recommended tyre inflation pressure.

TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)malfunction indicator
The low tyre pressure telltale will illu-
minate after it blinks for approximate-
ly one minute when there is a prob-
lem with the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an underinfla-
tion warning at the same time as sys-
tem failure then it will illuminate both
the TPMS malfunction and low tyre
pressure position telltales e.g. if Front
Left sensor fails, the TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator illuminates, but if the
Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right
tyre is under-inflated, the low tyre
pressure position telltales may illumi-
nate together with the TPMS mal-
function indicator.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised Kia dealer.
WARNING - Low pressure
damage
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased brakingdistances.
Continued driving on low pres- sure tyres can cause the tyres
to overheat and fail.CAUTION
 The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if thevehicle is moving around elec- tric power supply cables orradios transmitter such as atpolice stations, government and public offices, broadcast-ing stations, military installa-tions, airports, or transmitting towers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of theTyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
 The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if snowchains are used or some sep-arate electronic devices such as notebook computer, mobilecharger, remote starter or nav-igation etc., are used in the vehicle. This can interfere withnormal operation of the TyrePressure Monitoring System(TPMS).
