What to do in an emergency
Using the TMK
1. Detach the speed restriction label(1) from the sealant bottle (2), and
place it in a highly visible place
inside the vehicle such as on the
steering wheel to remind the driv-
er not to drive too fast.
Carefully follow below steps.
2. Shake the sealant case.

CAUTION
Before using the tire repair kit,please read carefully theinstruction attached on thesealant case. Detach the speedlimit label on the sealant caseand put it on a highly visibleplace. Always drive within thespeed limit.

3. Screw connection hose (10) onto
the connector of the sealant bottle.
4. Ensure that button (9) on the com- pressor is not pressed. 5. Unscrew the valve cap from the
valve of the flat tire and screw fill-
ing hose (3) of the sealant bottle
onto the valve. 6. Insert the sealant bottle into the
housing (5) of the compressor so
that the bottle is upright.
7. Ensure that the compressor is switched off, position 0.

What to do in an emergency
8.Connect between compressor andthe vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors (4).
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 Tire
and Wheels, chapter 9). 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 tire when
filling it. When the tire and wheel are dam-
aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for
your safety.
10. Switch off the compressor.
11. Detach the hoses from the
sealant bottle connector and
from the tire valve.
Return the TMK to its storage loca-
tion in the vehicle.
OJFA066038
CAUTION - Tire pres-
sure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure isbelow 200 kPa (29 psi). Thiscould result in an accident dueto sudden tire failure.
WARNING
Do not leave your engine run-
ning in a poorly ventilated or
unventilated location. This can
result in carbon monoxide poi-
soning or suffocation.

Distributing the sealant
12. Immediately drive approximately
7~10 km (4~6 miles or, about
10min) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.
Checking the tire inflation
pressure
1.After driving approximately 7~10km (4~6 miles or about 10 min-
utes), stop at a suitable location.
2.Connect connection hose (10) of the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
3.Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors. 4.Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
200 kPa (29 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.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). If possible, donot fall below a speed of 20km/h (12 mph).
While 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 forroad side service or towing.
When you use the Tire MobilityKit, the tire pressure sensorsand wheel may be covered bysealant. Therefore, remove thetire pressure sensors and wheelcovered with sealant and werecommend that they becleaned and inspected at anauthorized Kia dealer.

WARNING
Do not let the compressor run
for more than 10 minutes, other-
wise the device will overheat
and may be damaged.

What to do in an emergency
- To reduce the inflation pres-sure: Press the button (9) on the
compressor.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
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 tires. Do not
use on motorcycles, bicycles or
any other type of tires.
Do not remove any foreign objects- such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tire.
Before using the TMK, 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 TMK 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 TMK if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-
22°F).
When the tire and wheel are dam- aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit
for your safety.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is notmaintained, drive the vehicle asecond time, refer toDistributing the sealant. Thenrepeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffec-tual for tire damage larger thanapproximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
We recommend that you contactan authorized Kia dealer if thetire cannot be made roadworthywith the Tire Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must
be at least 200 kPa (29 psi). If it
is not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or
towing.

Maintenance
OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or an author-
ized Kia dealer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehi-
cle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by war-
ranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check the coolant level in coolantreservoir.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Look for low or under-inflated tires.
While operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound of the 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 traveling on smooth, level
road.
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 the automatic transaxle P (Park) function.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
WARNING - Hot coolant
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow
out under pressure.
