2021 KIA STINGER warning

What to do in an emergency
24 6
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay mobile even after experiencing a
tire puncture.
The system compressor and sealing
compound effectively seal most punc-
tures in a passenger car tire caused
by nails or similar objects and re-
inflate the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is prop-
erly sealed, you can drive cautiously
on the tire (up to 120 miles (200 km))
at a max. speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
in order to reach a vehicle or tire deal-
er to have the tire replaced.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.
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.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the Tire Mobility Kit".
CAUTION
When replacing or repairing
the tire after using tire sealant,
make certain to remove the
sealant attached to the inner
part of the tire and wheel. If the
sealant is not removed, noise
and vibration may occur.
If the TPMS warning light illu-
minates after using the Tire
Mobility Kit, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
When repairing a flat tire with
the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK),
quickly remove the sealant on
the tire pressure sensor and
wheel. When installing the
repaired tire and wheel, tight-
en the wheel nut to a torque
value of 11 ~ 13 kgf·m.

What to do in an emergency
Notes on the safe use of the
Tire 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. Place your warning triangle
in a prominent place to make pass-
ing vehicles aware of your location.
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. Do not use on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tires.
Do not remove any foreign objects-
such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tire.
Before using the Tire Mobility Kit,
read the precautionary advice
printed on the sealant bottle! Provided the car is outdoors, leave
the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor 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 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if
the ambient temperature is below
-22°F (-30°C).
When the tire and wheel are dam-
aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit
for your safety.
WARNING
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit
if a tire is severely damaged.
Only punctured areas located
within the tread region of the
tire can be sealed using the Tire
Mobility Kit.

1. Speed restriction label
2. Sealant bottle and label with
speed restriction
3. Filling hose from sealant bottle to
wheel4. Connectors and cable for the
power outlet direct connection
5. Holder for the sealant bottle
6. Compressor
7. On/off switch
WARNING
If sealant comes into contact
with skin, wash the affected
areas thoroughly. Seek med-
ical attention if irritation
develops and persists.
If sealant comes into contact
with the eyes, flush eyes with
water for at least 15 minutes.
Seek medical attention if irri-
tation persists.
If sealant is swallowed, call a
physician or poison control
center immediately.
Exposure to the sealant for a
long time may cause damage
to the bodily tissues.

8. Pressure gauge for displaying the
tire inflation pressure
9. Button for reducing tire inflation
pressure
Connectors and cable are stored in

✽ ✽
NOTICE
The sealant container and insert
hose (3) cannot be reused. Purchase
an extra after use.
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.
OCK068022N
CAUTION
Before using the Tire Mobility
Kit, please read carefully the
instruction attached on the
sealant case. Detach the speed
limit label on the sealant case
and put it on a highly visible
place. Always drive within the
speed limit.
WARNING- Expired
sealant
Do not use the tire sealant after
the sealant has expired (after
the expiration date on the
sealant container). This can
increase the risk of tire failure.
WARNING- Sealant
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Do not swallow.

What to do in an emergency
7. Insert the sealant bottle into the
housing (5) of the compressor so
that the bottle is upright.
8. Ensure that the compressor is
switched off.9. Connect between compressor and
the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors (4).10. With the engine start/stop button
position on: switch on the com-
pressor and let it run for approxi-
mately 5~7 minutes to fill the
sealant up to proper pressure
(refer to the "Tires and wheels" in
chapter 8). Be careful not to over-
inflate 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.

WARNING- Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 29 psi (200 kPa, 2 bar).
This could result in an accident
due to sudden tire failure.

11. Switch off the compressor.
12. 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.Distributing the sealant
13. Immediately drive approximately
4 ~ 6 miles (7 ~ 10 km or, about
10 min) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 50
mph (80 km/h). If possible, do
not fall below a speed of 12 mph
(20 km/h).
While driving, if you experience
any unusual vibration, ride dis-
turbance or noise, reduce your
speed and drive with caution
until you can safely pull off of
the side of the road. Call for
road side service or towing.
When you use the Tire Mobility
Kit, the wheel may be stained by
sealant. Therefore, remove the
tire pressure sensors and have
your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
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
Checking the tire inflation
pressure
1. After driving approximately 4 ~ 6
miles (7 ~ 10 km 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 between compressor and
the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
29 psi (200 kPa). With the Engine
