What to do in an emergency
4. Unscrew the valve cap from thevalve of the detective wheel and
screw the filling hose (3) of the
sealant bottle onto the valve. Securely install the sealant filling
hose to the valve. If not, sealant
may flow backward, possibly clog-
ging the filling hose.
5. Plug the compressor power cord
(4) into the vehicle power outlet.
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet when connecting the
power cord.
6. With the ignition switch in the ON position, switch on the compres-
sor 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). Theinflation 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.

7. Switch off the compressor.
8. Detach the hoses from the sealantbottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
9. Immediately drive approximately 7~10 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.
Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 200 kPa (29 psi). Thiscould result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.

What to do in an emergency
Checking the tire inflation pres-sure
1. After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles or about 10 min),
stop at a safety location.
2. Connect the filling hose (3) direct- ly into the compressor. 3. Connect the other end of the filling
hose (3) directly into the valve.
4. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.
5. 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 compres-
sor. To check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch
off the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pres-sure: Press the button (9) on the
compressor. Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may
be damaged.
Information
The pressure gauge may show higher
than actual reading when the com-
pressor is running. To get an accurate
tire reading, the compressor needs to
be turned off.
i
NOTICE
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a
second time, refer to
Distributing the sealant. Thenrepeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffec-
tual for tire damage larger than
approximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
We recommend that you con-
tact an authorized HYUNDAIdealer if the tire cannot be made
roadworthy with the TireMobility Kit.

Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture. The compressor and sealing com-
pound system effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tire caused by nailsor similar objects and reinflates the
tire.
After you ensure that the tire is prop-
erly sealed you can drive cautiouslyon the tire (distance up to 200 km
(120 miles)) at a max. speed of (80km/h (50 mph)) in order to reach a
service station or tire dealer for thetire replacement.
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".
What to do in an emergency
Temporary fix
Have your tire repaired as soon
as possible. The tire may lose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tire MobilityKit.
WARNING

What to do in an emergency
Notes on the safe use of theTire 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 (0.24inch). Please contact the nearest author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer if the tire
cannot be made roadworthy with
the Tire Mobility Kit.
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit, if a flat tire or an under-inflated tire is
further severely damaged by being
continuously driven.
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 minutes at a
time or it may overheat. Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if
the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
In case of skin contact with the sealant, wash the area thoroughly
with plenty of water. If the irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
In case of eye contact with the sealant, flush your eyes for at least
15 minutes. If the irritation persists,seek medical attention.
In case of swallowing the sealant, rinse the mouth and drink plenty of
water. However, never give any-thing to an unconscious personand seek medical attention imme-
diately.
Long time exposure to the sealant may cause damage to bodily tissue
such as kidney, etc.

Components of the Tire Mobility Kit
Do not use the tire sealant after
the sealant has expired (i.e.
pasted the expiration date on
the sealant container). This can
increase the risk of tire failure.
WARNING
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Do not swallow.
WARNING

What to do in an emergency
Using the Tire Mobility Kit
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 driv-
er not to drive too fast.
2. Screw the connection hose (9) onto the connector of the sealant
bottle. 3. Unscrew the valve cap from the
valve of the flat tire and screw thefilling hose (2) of the sealant bottle
onto the valve. 4. Insert the sealant bottle into the
housing (4) of the compressor so
that the bottle is upright.
5. Ensure that the compressor is switched off.
