CAUTION
Securely install the sealant filling hose
to the valve. If not, sealant may flow
backward, possibly clogging the filling
hose.
ORG3EV081009
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 2).
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.
ORG3EV081024
9. Immediately drive approximately 4~6
miles (7~10 km or, about 10min) to
evenly distribute the sealant in the
tire.
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 disturbance 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.

Emergency Situations
ORG3EV081008
10. After driving approximately 4~6 miles
(7~10 km or about 10 min), stop at a
safety location.
11. Connect the filling hose (3) of the
compressor directly to the tire valve.
12. Plug the compressor power cord into
the vehicle power outlet.
13. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the
recomended tire inflation.
With the Vehicle is ON
(
indicator ON) proceed as
follows.
-To increase the inflation pressure
: Switch on the compressor. To
check the current inflation pressure
setting, briefly switch off the
compressor.
-To reduce the inflation pressure:
Press the button (9) on the
compressor.
NOTICE
Do not let the compressor run for more
than 10 minutes, otherwise the device
will overheat and may be damaged.
Information
The pressure gauge may show higher than
actual reading when the compressor is
running. To get an accurate tire reading,
the compressor needs to be turned off.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to step 9.
Then repeat steps 10 to 13.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for
tire damage larger than approximately
0.16 in (4 mm).
Contact an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products if the tire
cannot be made roadworthy with the
Tire Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must be at
least 32 psi (220 kPa). If it is not, do not
continue driving.
Call for road side service or towing.
CAUTION
Tire pressure sensor (if equipped with
TPMS)
The sealant on the tire pressure sensor
and wheel should be removed when
you replace the tire with a new one and
inspect the tire pressure sensors. You
should get this done at an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Information
When reinstalling the repaired or replaced
tire and wheel on the vehicle, tighten the
wheel bolt to 101 ~ 116 lbf·ft (14 ~ 16
kgf·m).

[The pressure gauge may show
higher than actual reading when the
compressor is running. To get an
accurate tire reading, the compressor
needs to be turned off.

[When reinstalling the repaired or
replaced tire and wheel on the vehicle,
tighten the wheel bolt to 101 ~ 116 lbf·ft
(14 ~ 16 kgf·m).
CAUTION
Do not use the sealant when the tire
pressure only needs to be adjusted.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must be at
least 32 psi (220 kPa). If it is not, do not
continue driving.
Call for road side service or towing.

Emergency Situations
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.

[To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you’re on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake.

[Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for
sealing/inflation passenger car tires.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tire can be
sealed using the tire mobility kit.

[Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles
or any other type of tires.

[When the tire and wheel are
damaged, 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 0.24 in (6 mm).

[If the tire cannot be made roadworthy
with the Tire Mobility Kit, contact an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.

[Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire
is severely damaged by driving run flat
or with insufficient air pressure.

[Do not remove any foreign objects
such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.

[Provided the car is outdoors, leave the
Vehicle is ON (
indicator ON).
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 running
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).

[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, seek
medical attention.

[In case of swallowing the sealant,
rinse the mouth and drink plenty of
water. However, never give anything
to an unconscious person and seek
medical attention immediately.

equipment with all the wheels off the
ground.
Precautions when moving a short
distance before towing a vehicle
Move short distances within 394 in. (10
m) at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less
only when loading on a tow truck of if the
vehicle needs to be repositioned.
At this time, the gear must be in the ‘N’
(Neutral) position and the parking brake
must be released. If it is impossible to
operate the transmission and parking
brake, move the vehicle with the all
wheels lifted.
NOTICE
Do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting
or body and chassis parts. Otherwise
the vehicle may be damaged.
CAUTION

[Do not tow the vehicle with the any
wheels on the ground as this may
