When using a compact spare tyre,
observe the following precautions:
Under no circumstances should
you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher speed could damage the
tyre.
Ensure that you drive slowly enough for the road conditions to
avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,
such as a pothole or debris, could
seriously damage the compact
spare.
Any continuous road use of this tyre could result in tyre failure, loss
of vehicle control, and possible
personal injury.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi- mum load rating or the load-carry-
ing capacity shown on the sidewall
of the compact spare tyre.
Avoid driving over obstacles. The compact spare tyre diameter issmaller than the diameter of a con-
ventional tyre and reduces the
ground clearance approximately25 mm (1 inch), which could result
in damage to the vehicle. 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 tempo- rary spare tyre at a time.
Do not tow a trailer whilst the tem- porary spare tyre is installed.

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".
OYN069010OYN069018
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.

Using the TyreMobilityKit
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 the
connector 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 TyreMobilityKit to its stor-
age 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).

What to do in an emergency
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 60 km/h (35 mph). If possible, donot fall below a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).
While 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 TyreMobilityKit maybe ineffectual for tyre damagelarger than approximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
Please contact the nearest KiaA/S centre, or a workshop thatworks according to Kia repairprocedures with corresponding- ly trained personnel if the tyrecannot be made roadworthywith the TyreMobilityKit.

Notes on the safe use of the
TyreMobilityKit
Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
TyreMobilityKit 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 TyreMobilityKit 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 TyreMobilityKit, 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 TyreMobilityKit
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 TyreMobilityKit 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.

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. 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 lifted,
not the rear.
