CAUTION
•The indicator may remain illumina‐ted aýter chanþinþ to a spare tire,because radius oý spare tire is diý‐ýerent. Be sure to chanþe to a reþ‐ular tire.
•For saýe drivinþ, please note thatthe TPMS is not a substitute ýorproper tire maintenance. It is thedriver’s responsibility to maintaincorrect tire pressure, and all tiresshould be checked monthly tomaintain the recommended pres‐sure.
•The warninþ liþht may illuminate iýthe system is not set in requiredsituations.
•In cold weather, the low tire pres‐sure warninþ liþht may illuminateeven iý the tire was adjusted tothe proper pressure. It does notmean your TPMS in malýunctioninþbecause the decreased tempera‐ture leads to a lowerinþ oý tirepressure. Check the tires and ad‐just to the recommended pressure.
•System perýormance may reducein the ýollowinþ situations.-Improper system settinþ

-Usinþ tires on the market (Oriþi‐nal tire recommended)
-Drivinþ on snowy, slippery, orunpaved roads
-Hard cornerinþ, rapid accelerat‐inþ and brakinþ repeatedly
-Drivinþ too slow or ýast
-Iý the vehicle is overloaded
-Iý a spare tire or snow chain isinstalled
WARNING
•Drivinþ with an under-inýlated tirecauses the tire to overheat andlead to tire ýailure. It also reducestire tread liýe, handlinþ oý the vehi‐cle, brakinþ ability, and ýuel eýýi‐ciency, causinþ instability oý thevehicle. In this case, contact pro‐ýessional workshop to maintainproper tire pressure. Kia recom‐mends to contact an authorizedKia dealer/service partner.

•Sudden damaþe to the tire causedby external ýactors may not be in‐dicated immediately. Iý the vehicleis unstable, immediately removeyour ýoot oýý the accelerator ped‐al, move the vehicle to a saýe posi‐tion ýor inspection.
Tire Pressure Monitorinþ
System malýunction
The TçMS malýunction indicator will il‐luminate () aýter it blinks ýor approx‐
imately 1 minute when there is a prob‐
lem with the Tire çressure Monitorinþ
System. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
lonþ as the malýunction exists.
Iý the indicator remains illuminated or
illuminates even aýter TçMS settinþ, have the system checked by a proýes‐
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING
•Iý there is a malýunction with theTPMS, low tire pressure will not beindicated. In this case, have thesystem serviced by a proýessionalworkshop. Kia recommends to visitan authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.
•Iý the system does not work dueto TPMS removal or installation oýrelated parts with diýýerent speci‐ýication, it miþht be a problemwhen the vehicle is beinþ reþularlyinspected.
•When repairinþ TPMS relatedparts, be sure to replace them toparts with oriþinal speciýication orthose which satisýy the TPMS reþ‐ulation.-TPMS related parts : Tire,wheel, ABS unit, suspension

Then position the wrench as shown in
the drawinþ and tiþhten the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated com‐
pletely over the nut. Do not stand on
the wrench handle or use an extension pipe over the wrench handle. Go around
the wheel tiþhteninþ every other nut
until they are all tiþht. Then double- check each nut ýor tiþhtness. Aýter
chanþinþ wheels, have the system
checked by a proýessional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
Wheel nut tiþhteninþ torque:
Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:
11~13 kþý·m (79~94 lbý·ýt) Iý you have a tire þauþe, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure. Iý
the pressure is lower than recommen‐
ded, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inýlate to the correct pres‐
sure. Iý it is too hiþh, adjust it until it is
correct. Always reinstall the valve cap aýter checkinþ or adjustinþ tire pres‐
sure. Iý the cap is not replaced, air may
leak ýrom the tire. Iý you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon
as possible.
Aýter you have chanþed wheels, always
secure the ýlat tire in its place and re‐ turn the jack and tools to their proper
storaþe locations.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads onthe wheel studs and nuts. Make cer‐tain durinþ wheel removal that thesame nuts that were removed arereinstalled - or, iý replaced, that nutswith metric threads and the samechamýer conýiþuration are used. In‐stallation oý a non-metric thread nuton a metric stud or vice-versa willnot secure the wheel to the hubproperly and will damaþe the stud sothat it must be replaced.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Note that most luþ nuts do not havemetric threads. Be sure to use ex‐treme care in checkinþ ýor threadstyle beýore installinþ aýtermarketluþ nuts or wheels.Iý in doubt, consult a proýessionalworkshop. Kia recommends to con‐sult an authorized Kia dealer/servicepartner.
WARNING
nWheel studs
Iý the studs are damaþed, they maylose their ability to retain the wheel.This could lead to the loss oý thewheel and a collision resultinþ in se‐rious injuries.
To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel
luþ nut wrench and spare tire ýrom rat‐
tlinþ while the vehicle is in motion,
store them properly.

Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay mobile even aýter experiencinþ a tire puncture.
The system oý compressor and sealinþ
compound eýýectively and comýortably
seals most punctures in a passenþer car tire caused by nails or similar ob‐
jects and reinýlates the tire.
Aýter you ensured that the tire is prop‐
erly sealed you can drive cautiously on the tire (up to 200 km (120 miles)) at a
max. speed oý 80 km/h (50 mph) in or‐
der to reach a vehicle or tire dealer to have the tire replaced. It is possible that some tires, especially
with larþer punctures or damaþe to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may ad‐ versely aýýect tire perýormance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steerinþ or other drivinþ ma‐
neuvers, especially iý the vehicle is heavily loaded or iý a trailer is in use.
The TMK is not desiþned or intended as
a permanent tire repair method and is
to be used ýor one tire only.This instruction shows you step by step
how to temporarily seal the puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section L

• çress the brake pedal with moreýorce than normal since you will have
reduced brake perýormance.
• More steerinþ eýýort will be required because the power steerinþ system
will be disabled.
• Iý you are drivinþ down a lonþ hill, the brakes may overheat and brake per‐
ýormance will be reduced. Stop oýten
and let the brakes cool oýý.
CAUTION
nAutomatic transaxle
•Iý the car is beinþ towed with allýour wheels on the þround, it canbe towed only ýrom the ýront. Besure that the transaxle is in neu‐tral. Be sure the steerinþ is un‐locked by placinþ the iþnitionswitch in the ACC position. A drivermust be in the towed vehicle tooperate the steerinþ and brakes.
•To avoid serious damaþe to theautomatic transaxle, limit the ve‐hicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)and drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile)when towinþ.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Beýore towinþ, check the auto‐matic transaxle ýor ýluid leaks un‐der your vehicle. Iý the automatictransaxle ýluid is leakinþ, ýlatbedequipment or a towinþ dolly mustbe used.
