What to do in an emergency
IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TYRE (WITH TYREMOBILITYKIT, IF EQUIPPED)For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
The Tyre Mobility Kit is a temporary
fix to the tyre and we recommend
that the system be inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.Introduction
With the TyreMobilityKit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tyre
puncture.
The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tyre caused by nails
or similar objects and reinflates the
tyre.
After you ensured that the tyre is
properly sealed you can drive cau-
tiously on the tyre (distance up to 120
miles (200 km)) at a max. speed of 50
mph (80 km/h) in order to reach a
service station or tyre dealer to have
the tyre replaced.

CAUTION
- One sealant for
one tyre
When two or more tyres are flat,do not use the tyre mobility kitbecause the supported onesealant of Tyre Mobility Kit isonly used for one flat tyre.
WARNING
- Tyre wall
Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit
to repair punctures in the tyre
walls. This can result in an acci-
dent due to tyre failure.
WARNING
- Temporary fix
Have your tyre repaired as soon
as possible. The tyre may loose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tyre Mobility
Kit.

6It is possible that some tyres, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age 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". 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.
 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. Only punctured areas locat-
ed within the tread region of the
tyre can be sealed using the tyre
mobility kit.
 Do not use on motorcycles, bicy- cles or any other type of tyres.
 When the tyre and wheel are dam- aged, do not use Tyre Mobility Kit
for your safety.
 Use of the Tyre Mobility Kit may not be effective for tyre damage larger
than approximately 0.24 in (6 mm).
If the tyre cannot be made road-
worthy with the Tyre Mobility Kit,
we recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.  Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit if a
tyre is severely damaged by driving
run flat or with insufficient air pres-
sure.
 Do not remove any foreign objects- such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tyre.
 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).
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tyre is
severely damaged by driving
run flat or with insufficient air
pressure.
Only punctured areas located
within the tread region of the
tyre can be sealed using the
TMK.

8. With the engine start/stop buttonposition on or ignition switch posi-
tion on, switch on the compressor
and let it run for approximately 5~7
minutes to fill the sealant up to
proper pressure. (refer to the Tyre
and Wheels, chapter 8). The infla-
tion pressure of the tyre after filling
is unimportant and will be
checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the
tyre and stay away from the tyre
when filling it. 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. Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately
4~6 miles (7~10 km or, about
10min) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tyre.
WARNING
- Carbonmonoxide
Do not leave your vehicle run-
ning in a poorly ventilated area
for extended periods of time.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation can occur.
CAUTION
- Tyre pressure
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if the tyre pressure isbelow 200kpa(29 PSI). Thiscould result in an accident dueto sudden tyre failure.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 80km/h (50 mph). If possible, donot fall below a speed of 20km/h (12 mph).
Whilst driving, if you experienceany unusual vibration, ride dis-turbance or noise, reduce yourspeed and drive with cautionuntil you can safely pull off ofthe side of the road.
Call for road side service or tow-ing. When you use the TyreMobility Kit, the tyre pressuresensors and wheel may be dam-aged by sealant, remove thesealant stained with tyre pres-sure sensors and wheel andinspect in authorized dealer.

Checking the tyre inflation pres-
sure
1. After driving approximately 4~6 miles (7~10 km or about 10 min),
stop at a safety location.
2. Connect connection hose (9) of the compressor directly to the tyre
valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.
4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the recomended tyre inflation.
With the ignition switched on, pro-
ceed 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.
✽ ✽ NOTICEThe pressure gauge may show high-
er than actual reading when the
compressor is running. To get an
accurate tyre reading, the compres-
sor needs to be turned off.- 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, other-
wise the device will overheat
and may be damaged.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not maintained, drive the vehicle asecond time, refer toDistributing the sealant. Thenrepeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffec-tual for tyre damage larger thanapproximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
We recommend that you contacta HYUNDAI authorised repairerif the tyre cannot be made road-worthy with the Tyre MobilityKit.
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.

6TOWINGTowing serviceIf emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer or a com-
mercial tow-truck service. Proper lifting
and towing procedures are necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle. The use
of wheel dollies or flatbed is recommend-
ed. On 4WD vehicles, your vehicle must be
towed with a wheel lift and dollies or
flatbed equipment with all the wheels off
the ground.
On 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow
the vehicle with the rear wheels on the
ground (without dollies) 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
The 4WD vehicle should never be
towed with the wheels on theground. This can cause seriousdamage to the transaxle or the 4WDsystem.
CAUTION
 Do not tow the vehicle backwards with the front wheels on theground as this may cause dam- age to the vehicle.
 Do not tow with sling-type equip- ment. Use wheel lift or flatbedequipment.
