Tampering with, modifying, or disabling
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may interfere
with the system’s ability to warn the
driver of low tire pressure conditions
and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering
with, modifying, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the warranty for
that portion of the vehicle.

For safe operation, carefully read and
follow the instructions in this manual
before use.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary fix
to the tire and we recommend that the
system be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair
punctures in the tire walls. This can
result in an accident due to tire failure.
WARNING
Have your tire repaired as soon as
possible. The tire may loose air pressure
at any time after inflating with the Tire
Mobility Kit.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit 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 objects
and reinflates the tire.
After you ensured that the tire is
properly sealed you can drive cautiously
on the tire (distance up to 200 km (120
miles)) at a max. speed of 80 km/h (50
mph) in order to reach a service station
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 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 simply and reliably.
Read the section “Notes on the safe use
of the Tire Mobility Kit”.
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tire is severely
damaged by driving run flat or with
insufficient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the
tread region of the tire can be sealed using the TMK.

5. Plug the compressor power cord (4) into the vehicle power outlet.
NOTICE
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet when connecting the
power cord. 6. With the vehicle ON (
indicator 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). The inflation 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 tire when filling it.
CAUTION
Tire pressure
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.
7. Switch off the compressor.
8. Detach the hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its storage
location in the vehicle.
