Using the Tire Mobility Kit
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.
2. Filling the sealant: Strictly follow the specified sequence, otherwise
the sealant may escape under
high pressure.
3. Shake the sealant bottle.

CAUTION
Before using the tire repair kit,please read the instructionsattached on the sealant casecarefully. Detach the speed limitlabel on the sealant case andput it in a highly visible place.Always drive within the speedlimit.

What to do in an emergency
4. Screw the filling hose (a) onto theconnector of the sealant bottle (1).
5. Insert the sealant bottle into the housing(b) of the compressor so
that the bottle is upright.
6. Ensure that the button (9) on the compressor is not pressed. 7. Unscrew the valve cap from the
valve of the defective wheel and
screw filling hose (3) of the sealant
bottle onto the valve.✽ ✽NOTICE
If the sealant is injected when the
tire air pressure injection valve and
sealant injection hose are not fully
interlocked, the sealant may over-
flow and clog the valve.

8. Connect the compressor to the
vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors (4).
✽ ✽NOTICE
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet.
9. With the engine start/stop button
position on: 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 “Tires
and wheels” section in Chapter 8).
Be careful not to overinflate the tire
and stay away from the tire when
filling it. When the tire and wheel
are damaged, do not use Tire
Mobility Kit for your safety. 10. Switch off the compressor.
11. Detach the hose from the sealant
bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.

WARNING
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 200 kPa (29 psi). This
could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation is possible if the
engine is left running in a poorly
ventilated or unventilated loca-
tion (such as inside a building).

What to do in an emergency
Distributing the sealant
12. Immediately drive approximately7~10 km (4~6 miles) or about 10
minutes to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit,
the tire pressure sensors and wheel
may be stained by sealant. Therefore,
remove the tire pressure sensors and
wheel stained by sealant and have
your vehicle inspected by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
Checking the tire inflation
pressure
1.After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles) or about 10 min-
utes, stop at a suitable location.
2.Connect the filling hose (3) of the compressor (clip mounted side)
directly and then connect the filling
hose (3) (opposite side) to the tire
valve.
3.Connect the compressor to 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. - To reduce the inflation pres-
sure: Press the button (9) on the
compressor.
CAUTION - Tire pressure
sensor
Do not use sealant notapproved by Kia as it may dam-age the tire pressure sensors.The sealant on the tire pressuresensor and wheel should beremoved when you replace thetire with a new one and inspectthe tire pressure sensors at anauthorized dealer.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run
for more than 10 minutes, other-
wise the device will overheat
and may be damaged.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must
be at least 200 kPa, 2 bar (29
psi). If it is not, do not continue
driving. Call for road side serv-
ice or towing.

What to do in an emergency
TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized 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 or
flatbed is recommended.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, take your vehicle to an author-
ized Kia dealer by loading the vehi-
cle on a flatbed tow truck and have
the system checked.

WARNING - Side and
curtain Air bag
If your vehicle is equipped with
side and curtain air bags, set
the ignition switch to the LOCK
or ACC position when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
The side and curtain air bag
may deploy when the ignition is
in the ON position, and the
rollover sensor detects a
rollover situation.
