tion pressure
9.Hose to connect compressor and sealant bottle or compressor and wheel
Connectors, cable and connectionhose are stored in the compressorhousing.
Strictly follow the specified
sequence, otherwise the sealant
may escape under high pressure. Using the Tyre Mobility Kit (TMK)
1.Detach the speed restriction label
(0) from the sealant bottle (1), and
place it in a highly visible place
inside the vehicle such as on the
steering wheel to remind the driver
not to drive too fast. 2. Shake the sealant bottle.
3.Screw connection hose (9) onto
the connector of the sealant bottle.
4.Ensure that screw cap (8) is closed.
5.Unscrew the valve cap from the valve of the flat tyre and screw fill- ing hose (2) of the sealant bottle
onto the valve.
6.Insert the sealant bottle into the housing (4) of the compressor so
that the bottle is upright.
7.Ensure that the compressor is switched off, position "O".
WARNING - Expired
sealant
Do not use the tyre sealant after
the sealant has expired (i.e.
pasted the expiration date on
the sealant container). This can
increase the risk of tyre failure.
WARNING - Sealant
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Do not swallow.

What to do in an emergency
8.Plug the compressor power cordinto the front passenger side power
outlet of the vehicle. 9.With the engine start/stop button
position 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 9). 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 tyrewhen filling it.
When the tyre and wheel are dam-
aged, do not use Tyre Mobility Kit for
your safety. 10. Switch off the compressor.
11. Detach the hoses from the
sealant bottle connector and
from the tyre valve.
Return the TMK to its storage loca-
tion in the vehicle.
WARNING - Carbon
monoxide
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation is possible ifthe engine is left running in a
poorly ventilated or unventilat-
ed location (such as inside a
building).
WARNING
Only use the front passenger
side power outlet when con-
necting the power cord.
CAUTION - Tyre pressure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tyre pressure is below 200kPa (29 psi). Thiscould result in an accident dueto sudden tyre failure.

Distributing the sealant
12. Immediately drive approximately
7~10km (4~6miles or, about
10min) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tyre. Checking the tyre inflation pressure
1.After driving approximately 7~10
km (4~6 miles or about 10 min-
utes), 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 ignition
switched on, proceed 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. - To reduce the inflation pres-
sure: Loosen the screw cap (8)
on the compressor hose.
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).
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 forroad side service or towing.
When you use the Tyre MobilityKit, the tyre pressure sensors and wheel may be stained bysealant. Therefore, remove thetyre pressure sensors and wheel stained by sealant and werecommend that inspect at anauthorised Kia dealer.
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. Then repeat 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 contactan authorised Kia dealer if the tyre cannot be made roadworthywith the Tyre Mobility Kit.
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.

What to do in an emergency
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
TMK away from moving traffic.
Place your warning triangle in a
prominent place to make passing
vehicles aware of your location.
To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
Only use the TMK for sealing/infla- tion 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 TMK, read the precautionary advice printed onthe sealant bottle!
Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery. Never leave the TMK 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 TMK if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
When the tyre and wheel are dam- aged, do not use Tyre Mobility Kit
for your safety. Technical Data

What to do in an emergency
Use a towing strap less than 5 m(16 feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during tow-ing.
Emergency towing precautions
Turn the ignition switch to ACC sothe steering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.
OXM069009
WARNING
Use extreme caution when tow-
ing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving manoeuvres which
would place excessive stress
on the emergency towing hook
and towing cable or chain. The
hook and towing cable or
chain may break and cause
serious injury or damage.
If the disabled vehicle is unable to be moved, do not
forcibly continue the towing.
We recommend that you con-tact an authorised Kia dealer
or a commercial tow truck
service for assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle during towing.

Maintenance
Engine compartment precau- tions (Diesel engine)
• The injector operates at high volt-age (maximum 200v). Therefore,
the following accidents may occur.
- Direct contact with the injector orinjector wiring may cause electric
shock or damage your muscle or
nerve system.
- The electromagnetic wave from the operating injector may cause
the artificial heart pacemaker tomalfunction.
Follow the safety tips provided below, when you are checking theengine room whilst the engine is
running.
- Do not touch the injector, injectorwirings, and the engine computer
whilst the engine is running.
- Do not remove the injector con- nector whilst the engine is run-ning.
- People using pacemakers must not go near the engine whilst the
engine is starting or running.WARNING - Maintenance
work
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be danger-
ous. You can be seriously
injured whilst performing
some maintenance proce-
dures. If you lack sufficient
knowledge and experience or
the proper tools and equip-
ment to do the work, we rec-ommend that the system be
serviced by an authorised Kia
dealer.
Working under the bonnet with the engine running is
dangerous. It becomes even
more dangerous when you
wear jewelry or loose cloth-
ing. These can become entan-
gled in moving parts and
result in injury.
(Continued)(Continued)
Therefore, if you must run the
engine whilst working under
the bonnet, make certain that
you remove all jewelry (espe-
cially rings, bracelets, watch-
es, and necklaces) and all

WARNING - Diesel Engine
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30seconds after shutting off
engine. High-pressure pump,
rail, injectors and high-pressurepipes are subject to high pres-
sure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced by
fuel leaks may cause serious
injury, if it touches the body.
People using pacemakers
should not move than 30cm clos-er to the ECU or wiring harness
within the engine room whilst
engine is running, since the high
currents in the electronic engine
control system produce consid-
erable magnetic fields.CAUTION
Do not put heavy objects or apply excessive force on top ofthe engine cover (if equipped)or fuel related parts.
When you inspect the fuel system (fuel lines and fuelinjection devices), we recom- mend that you contact anauthorised Kia dealer.
Do not drive long time with the engine cover (if equipped)removed.
When checking the engine room, do not go near fire.
Fuel, washer fluid, etc. areflammable oils that may cause fire.
Before touching the battery, ignition cables and electricalwiring, you should disconnectthe battery "-" terminal. You may get an electric shockfrom the electric current.

Maintenance
OWNER MAINTENANCE
We recommend that the following
lists are vehicle checks and inspec-
tions that should be performed by the
owner or an authorised Kia dealer atthe frequencies indicated to help
ensure safe, dependable operation
of your vehicle.
If you have any question, we recom-
mend that you consult an authorised
Kia dealer.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by war-
ranties and you may be charged for
labour, parts and lubricants used. Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check coolant level in coolant
reservoir.
Check the windscreen washer fluid level.
Look for low or under-inflated tyres.
Check the radiator and condenser. Check if the front of the radiator and condenser are clean and not
blocked with leaves, dirt or insectsetc.
If any of the above parts are
extremely dirty or you are not sure
of their condition, we recommend
that you contact an authorised Kia
dealer.
Whilst operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound ofthe exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steer-
ing effort or looseness in the steer-
ing wheel, or change in its straight-ahead position.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when travelling on smooth, levelroad.
When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.
Check manual transaxle operation, including clutch operation.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow out
under pressure. This could cause
burns or other serious injury.
