What to do in an emergency
If you have a tyre gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
If the pressure is lower than recom-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the cor-
rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust
it until it is correct. Always reinstall
the valve cap after checking or
adjusting tyre pressure. If the cap is
not replaced, air may leak from the
tyre. If you lose a valve cap, buyanother and install it as soon as pos-
sible.
After you have changed wheels,
always secure the flat tyre in its place
and return the jack and tools to their
proper storage locations.To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench, socket and
spare tyre from rattling whilst the
vehicle is in motion, store them prop-
erly.CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the wheel studs and nuts.Make certain during wheel removal that the same nuts thatwere removed are reinstalled -or, if replaced, that nuts with metric threads and the samechamfer configuration are used.Installation of a non-metricthread nut on a metric stud or vice-versa will not secure thewheel to the hub properly andwill damage the stud so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do nothave metric threads. Be sure touse extreme care in checkingfor thread style before installing aftermarket lug nuts or wheels.
If in doubt, consult a profession-al workshop. Kia recommendsto consult an authorised Kiadealer/service partner.
WARNING - Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they
may lose their ability to retain
the wheel. This could lead to theloss of the wheel and a collisionresulting in serious injuries.
WARNING - Inadequate
spare tyre pressure
Check the inflation pressures
as soon as possible after
installing the spare tyre. Adjust
it to the specified pressure, if
necessary. Refer to “Tyres and
wheels” chapter 9.

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TYRE (WITH TYRE MOBILITY KIT, IF EQUIPPED)
Please read the instructions before
using the Tyre Mobility Kit. (1) Compressor(2) Sealant bottle
The tyre Mobility Kit is a temporary
fix to the tyre and have the tyre
inspected by a professional work-
shop as soon as possible. Kia rec-
ommends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner. Introduction
With the Tyre Mobility Kit (TMK) 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 (up to 200 km (120
miles)) at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) in order to reach a vehicle or
tyre dealer to have the tyre replaced.

ORP062005
CAUTION
- One sealant
for one tyre
When two or more tyres are flat,do not use the tyre mobility kitbecause the one supplied canis- ter of sealant in the tyre MobilityKit is to only enough sealant forone 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 lose air
pressure at any time after inflat-
ing with the Tyre Mobility Kit.

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 have the vehicle inspected at a pro-fessional workshop. Kia recom-mends to visit an authorised Kiadealer/service partner.
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).
Contact a professional work-shop if the tyre cannot be made roadworthy with the TyreMobility Kit. Kia recommends tovisit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
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.

TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorised Kia dealer or a commer-
cial tow-truck service. Proper lifting
and towing procedures are neces-
sary to prevent damage to the vehi-
cle. The use of wheel dollies orflatbed is recommended.
For trailer towing guidelines informa- tion, refer to “Trailer towing” in chap-ter 6.
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 sus- pension 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 lifted, not the rear.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the EPB does not release normal-
ly, contact a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle back- wards with the front wheels onthe ground as this may causedamage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Use wheel lift orflatbed equipment.

Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you to have it done by anauthorised Kia dealer or a com-
mercial tow truck service. If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-ing hook under the front (or rear) of
the vehicle. Use extreme caution
when towing the vehicle. A driver
must be in the vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speed.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be ingood condition.
Do not use the towing hooks to pull
a vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently. Before emergency towing, check
that the hook is not broken or dam-aged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force.
To avoid damaging the hook, do not pull from the side or at a verti-
cal angle. Always pull straightahead.CAUTION
Attach a towing strap to the
tow hook.
Using a portion of the vehicle other than the tow hooks fortowing may damage the bodyof your vehicle.
Use only a cable or chain specifically intended for usein towing vehicles. Securely fasten the cable or chain tothe towing hook provided.

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.
