What to do in an emergency
With Tire Mobility Kit (TMK)
For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use. (1) Compressor(2) Sealant bottle
The Tire Mobility Kit is placed under
the luggage tray. The Tire Mobility Kit
is a temporary fix to the tire and the
tire should be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
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.

OAEE069001 One sealant bottle for one tire
When two or more tires are flat, do not use the tire mobility kit
because the supported one
sealant of Tire Mobility Kit is
only used for one flat tire.
CAUTION
Tire side wall
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair punctures in the tire
side walls. This can result in an
accident due to tire failure.
WARNING
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.

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".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 4 mm (0.15inch). Please contact the nearest
HYUNDAI dealership 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 vehicle ON( indicator ON).
Otherwise operating the compres-
sor 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) or over 70°C(158°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,seekmedical attention.

What to do in an emergency
In case of swallowing thesealant,rinse the mouth and drink
plenty ofwater.However, never give
anythingto an unconscious personand seekmedical attention immedi-
ately.
Long time exposure to the sealant may cause damage to bodily tissue
such as kidney, etc.

Connectors, cable and connection hose are stored in the compressorhousing.
Strictly follow the specified sequence,
otherwise the sealant may escape
under high pressure.Using the Tire Mobility Kit
1. Detach the speed restriction labelfrom the sealant bottle, and place
it in a highly visible place inside
the vehicle such as on the steer-
ing wheel to remind the driver not
to drive too fast. 2. Shake the sealant bottle (2).
3. Screw the filling hose (3) onto the
connector of the sealant bottle.
4. Ensure that the ON/OFF switch on the compressor is in the OFF posi- tion.
Do not use the tire sealant after
the sealant has expired (i.e.
past 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.

5. Unscrew the valve cap from thevalve of the flat tire and screw the filling hose (3) of the sealant bottle
onto the valve. Information
Securely install the sealant filling hose
to the valve. If not, sealant may flow
backward, possibly clogging the filling
hose. 6. Plug the compressor power cord
(4) into the vehicle power outlet.
7. With the vehicle ON ( indica- tor ON), switch on the compressor
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.

8. Switch off the compressor.
9. 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
10. Immediately drive approximately 7 ~ 10 km (4 ~ 6 miles or about
10 minutes) 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, have it
inspected at an authorized dealer.
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 minutes), stop at a safe location.
2. Connect the filling hose (3) of the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the recommended tire inflation.
With the vehicle ON ( indica- tor ON) proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres- sure:
Switch on the compressor, posi-
tion to "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 com-
pressor.
Information
The pressure gauge may show higher
than actual reading when the com-
pressor is running. To get an accurate
tire pressure, the compressor needs to
be turned off. Information
When reinstalling the repaired or
replaced tire and wheel on the vehicle,
tighten the wheel lug nut to 11~13

Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dolliesor 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 loadedwheels or suspension 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.
