IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (WITH TIRE MOBILITY KIT, IF EQUIPPED)
For 15, 16 inch tire
For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use. (1) Compressor(2) Sealant bottle
The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary
fix to the tire and we recommend that
the system be inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture. The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tire caused by nailsor similar objects and reinflates the
tire.
After you ensured that the tire is
properly sealed you can drive cau-tiously on the tire (distance up to 200
km (120 miles)) at a max. speed of80 km/h (50 mph) in order to reach a
service station or tire dealer to havethe tire replaced.
WARNING
Have your tire repaired as soon
as possible. The tire may loose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tire MobilityKit.
OJD064011OJD065017
CAUTION
When two or more tires are flat, do not use the tire mobility kitbecause the supported one sealant of Tire Mobility Kit is onlyused for one flat tire.
WARNING
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair punctures in the tire
walls. This can result in an acci-
dent due to tire failure.

It is possible that some tires, espe- cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may
adversely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tire
repair method and is to be used for
one tire 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 Tire Mobility Kit”.Notes on the safe use of the Tire
Mobility Kit
Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
Tire Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic.
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 Tire Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tires. Only punctured areas locatedwithin the tread region of the tirecan be sealed using the tire mobil-ity kit.
Do not use on motorcycles, bicy- cles or any other type of tires.
When the tire and wheel are dam- aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit
for your safety.
Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not be effective for tire damage larger
than approximately 6 mm (0.24 in).
If the tire cannot be made roadwor-
thy with the Tire Mobility Kit, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tire is
severely damaged by drivingrun flat or with insufficient air
pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the tread region of thetire can be sealed using theTMK.

What to do in an emergency
• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if atire 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 tire.
Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.
Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit unattended while 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 Tire Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).

Connectors, cable and connection hose are stored in the compressorhousing.
Strictly follow the specified
sequence, otherwise the sealant
may escape under high pressure.Using the Tire Mobility Kit
1. Shake the sealant bottle.
WARNING - Expired sealant
Do not use the Tire sealant after
the sealant has expired (i.e. past-
ed the expiration date on the
sealant container). This can
increase the risk of tire failure.
WARNING - Sealant
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Do not swallow.
CAUTION
Detach the speed restriction label (0) from the sealant bottle(1), and place it in a highly visi- ble place inside the vehiclesuch as on the steering wheel toremind the driver not to drivetoo fast.

What to do in an emergency
2. Screw the filling hose (2) onto theconnector of the sealant bottle (1).
3. Insert the sealant bottle into the housing of the compressor (4) so
that the bottle is upright.
4. Ensure that the button (9) on the compressor is not pressed. 5. Unscrew the valve cap from the
valve of the defective wheel and
screw the filling hose (2) of the
sealant bottle onto the valve.
6. Ensure that the compressor is switched off, position 0.

CAUTION
Securely install the sealant fill-
ing hose to the valve. If not,sealant may flow backward,possibly clogging the filling hose.

7. Plug the compressor power cord
into the vehicle power outlet.
✽✽NOTICE
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet when connecting the
power cord.
8. With the ignition switch in the ON position, switch on the compressor
and let it run for approximately 5~7
minutes to fill the sealant up to
proper pressure. (refer to the Tire
and Wheels, chapter 8). The infla-tion pressure of the tire after filling
is unimportant and will be
checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the
tire and stay away from the tirewhen filling it. 9. Switch off the compressor.
10. Detach the hoses from the
sealant bottle connector and
from the tire valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.
WARNING - Carbon
monoxide
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 - Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure isbelow 200 kPa (29 psi). This could result in an accident dueto sudden tire failure.

625
What to do in an emergency
Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately7~10 km (4~6 miles or, about
10min) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire. Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). If possible, do not fall
below a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safely pulloff of the side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit,the tire pressure sensors and wheel
may be damaged by sealant, removethe sealant stained with tire pressuresensors and wheel and inspect in
authorized dealer.Checking the tire inflation pressure
1. After driving approximately 7~10
km (4~6 miles or about 10 min),
stop at a safety location.
2. Connect the filling hose (2) of the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the recomended tire inflation.
With the ignition swithched 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 : Press the button (8) on the
compressor.
✽✽ NOTICE
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise the
device will overheat and may be
damaged.
✽
✽ NOTICE
The pressure gauge may show high-
er than actual reading when the
compressor is running. To get an
accurate tire reading, the compres-
sor needs to be turned off.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not maintained, drive the vehicle asecond time, refer to Distributing the sealant. Then repeat steps 1to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectu-al for tire damage larger thanapproximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
We recommend that you contactan authorized Kia dealer if the tire cannot be made roadworthywith the Tire Mobility Kit.
CAUTION - Tire pressure
sensor
The sealant on the tire pressure
sensor and wheel should beremoved when you replace thetire with a new one and inspect the tire pressure sensors at anauthorized dealer.
WARNING
The tire 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.
