2018 KIA STONIC tires

(Continued)
•For safe driving, please note thatthe TPMS is not a substitute forproper tire maintenance. It is thedriver’s responsibility to maintaincorrect tire pressure, and all tiresshould be checked monthly tomaintain the recommended pres‐sure.
•The warning light may illuminate ifthe system is not set in requiredsituations.
•In cold weather, the low tire pres‐sure warning light may illuminateeven if the tire was adjusted tothe proper pressure. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunctioningbecause the decreased tempera‐ture leads to a lowering of tirepressure. Check the tires and ad‐just to the recommended pressure.
•System performance may reducein the following situations.-Improper system setting
-Using tires on the market (Origi‐nal tire recommended)
-Driving on snowy, slippery, orunpaved roads
(Continued)
(Continued)
-Hard cornering, rapid accelerat‐ing and braking repeatedly
-Driving too slow or fast
-If the vehicle is overloaded
-If a spare tire or snow chain isinstalled
•When filling tires with more air,conditions to turn off the low tirepressure telltale may not be met.This is because a tire inflator has amargin of error in performance.The low tire pressure telltale willbe turned off if the tire pressure isabove the recommended tire infla‐tion pressure.
WARNING
•Driving with an under-inflated tirecauses the tire to overheat andlead to tire failure. It also reducestire tread life, handling of the vehi‐cle, braking ability, and fuel effi‐ciency, causing instability of thevehicle. In this case, contact pro‐fessional workshop to maintainproper tire pressure. Kia recom‐mends to contact an authorizedKia dealer/service partner.
•Sudden damage to the tire causedby external factors may not be in‐dicated immediately. If the vehicleis unstable, immediately removeyour foot off the accelerator ped‐al, move the vehicle to a safe posi‐tion for inspection.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System malfunction
The TPMS malfunction indicator will il‐
luminate () after it blinks for approx‐
imately 1 minute when there is a prob‐ lem with the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.

•The operation of this vehicle is notrecommended with more than onecompact spare tire in use at thesame time.
WARNING
The compact spare tire is for emer‐gency use only. Do not operate yourvehicle on this compact spare at thespeed over 80 km/h (50 mph). Theoriginal tire should be repaired or re‐placed as soon as possible to avoidfailure of the spare possibly leadingto personal injury or death.
The compact spare should be inflated
to 420 kPa (60 psi).
NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after in‐
stalling the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tire, ob‐
serve the following precautions: • Under no circumstances should you
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higherspeed could damage the tire.
• Ensure that you drive slowly enough to avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,
such as a pothole or debris, could se‐
riously damage the compact spare.
• Any continuous road use of this tire could result in tire failure, loss of ve‐
hicle control, and possible personal in‐ jury.
• Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum load rating or the load-carrying ca‐
pacity shown on the sidewall of the
compact spare tire.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The compact spare tire diameter is small‐
er than the diameter of a convention‐
al tire and reduces the ground clear‐
ance approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch),
which could result in damage to the
vehicle.
• Do not take the vehicle through an automatic car wash while the com‐
pact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use tire chains on the tempo‐ rary compact tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit properly. This could damage the vehi‐
cle and result in loss of the chain. • Temporary compact tire should not
be installed on the front axle if the
vehicle must be driven in snow or on
ice.
• Do not use the temporary compact tire on any other vehicle because this
tire has been designed especially for
your vehicle.
• The temporary compact tire tread life is shorter than a regular tire. In‐
spect your temporary compact tire regularly and replace worn compact
spare tires with the same size and
design, mounted on the same wheel.
• The temporary compact tire should not be used on any other wheels, norshould standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the temporary compact spare
wheel. If such use is attempted, dam‐
age to these items or other car com‐ ponents may occur.
• Do not use more than one temporary compact tire at a time.
• Do not tow a trailer while the tempo‐ rary compact tire is installed.

What to do in an emergency

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (WITH TIRE MOBILITY KIT, IF EQUIPPED)
0:#%
Please read the instructions before us‐
ing the Tire Mobility Kit. 1. Compressor
2. Sealant bottle
The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary fix to the tire and have the tire inspected
by a professional workshop as soon as
possible. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
nOne sealant for one tire
(Continued)
(Continued)
When two or more tires are flat, donot use the tire mobility kit becausethe supported one sealant of TireMobility Kit is only used for one flattire.
WARNING
nTire wall
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit torepair punctures in the tire walls.This can result in an accident due totire failure.
WARNING
nTemporary fix
Have your tire repaired as soon aspossible. The tire may lose air pres‐sure at any time after inflating withthe Tire Mobility Kit.
CAUTION
•When replacing or repairing thetire after using tire sealant, makecertain to remove the sealant at‐tached to the inner part of the tireand wheel. If the sealant is not re‐moved, noise and vibration mayoccur.
•We recommend to use original Kiamanufactured sealant.
•If the TPMS warning light illumi‐nates after using the TMK, haveyour vehicle inspected by a profes‐sional workshop. Kia recommendsto contact an authorized Kia deal‐er/service partner.

Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay mobile even after experiencing a tire puncture.
The system of compressor and sealing
compound effectively and comfortably
seals most punctures in a passenger car tire caused by nails or similar ob‐
jects and reinflates the tire.
After 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 of 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 larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may ad‐ versely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving ma‐
neuvers, especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in use.
The TMK 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 L

EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)
There are some emergency commodi‐ ties in the vehicle to help you respond
to the emergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is a small fire and you know
how to use the fire extinguisher, take the following steps carefully. 1. Pull the pin at the top of the extin‐ guisher that keeps the handle from
being accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle toward the base of the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away from the fire and squeeze
the handle to discharge the extin‐
guisher. If you release the handle,
the discharge will stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch it careful‐
ly since it may re-ignite.
First aid kit
There are some items such as scissors,
bandage and adhesive tape etc. in the kit to give first aid to an injured person.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the roadto warn oncoming vehicles during
emergencies, such as when the vehicle
is parked by the roadside due to any problems.
Tire pressure gauge (if
equipped)
Tires normally lose some air in day-to-
day use, and you may have to add a
few pounds of air periodically and it is
not usually a sign of a leaking tire, but
of normal wear. Always check tire pres‐
sure when the tires are cold because
tire pressure increases with tempera‐
ture.
To check the tire pressure, take the fol‐ lowing steps; 1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that is located on the rim of the
tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the tire valve. Some air will escape
as you begin and more will escape
if you don't press the gauge in
firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will acti‐ vate the gauge. 4. Read the tire pressure on the
gauge to know whether the tire
pressure is low or high.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the specified pressure. Refer to L
