If you have a flat tire (With Tire Mobility Kit)
Please read the instructions before using the Tire Mobility Kit.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary fix to the tire and the tire should be inspected by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION - One sealant for one tire
When two or more tires are flat, do not use the Tire Mobility Kit because the canister of sealant only contains enough sealant for one flat tire.
WARNING - Tire wall
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair large punctures or damage to the tire sidewalls. In these situations, the tire cannot be sealed completely and air will leak from the tire. This can result in tire failure.
WARNING - Speed with temporary fix
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) when driving with a tire sealed with the Tire Mobility Kit. 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 the side of the road.
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 Mobility Kit.
CAUTION
When reinstalling the repaired or replaced tire and wheel on the vehicle, tighten the wheel lug nut to 11~13kgf·m (79~94 lbf·ft).
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 punctures in a passenger car tire caused by nails or similar objects and reinflates the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is properly sealed, you can drive cautiously on the tire at a max. speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) in order to reach a vehicle or tire dealer to have the tire replaced as soon as possible.
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.
Read the section "Notes on the safe use of the Tire Mobility Kit".
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 6 mm (0.24 in). Please contact the nearest Kia dealership if the tire cannot be made roadworthy with the Tire Mobility Kit.
- Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have penetrated the tire.
- 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 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 -30°C (-22°F ).
WARNING
- If sealant comes into contact with skin, wash the affected areas thoroughly. Seek medical 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 irritation persists.
- If sealant is swallowed, call a physician or poison control center immediately.
WARNING
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire is severely damaged.
Components of the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK)
1. Speed restriction label
2. Sealant bottle and label with speed restriction
3. Filling sealant and air hose from sealant bottle to wheel
4. Connectors and cable for the power outlet direct connection
5. Holder for the sealant bottle
6. Compressor
7. On/off switch
8. Pressure gauge for displaying the tire inflation pressure
9. Tire Pressure Control Release Button
Connectors and cable are stored in the compressor housing.
WARNING - Expired sealant
Do not use the Tire sealant after the sealant has expired (i.e. 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.
✽ NOTICE
The sealant container and insert hose (3) cannot be reused.

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 driver not to drive too fast.
2. Filling the sealant: Strictly follow the specified sequence, otherwise the sealant may escape under high pressure.
CAUTION
Before using the tire repair kit, please read the instructions attached on the sealant case carefully. Detach the speed limit label on the sealant case and put it in a highly visible place. Always drive within the speed limit.
3. Shake the sealant bottle.
4. Screw the filling hose (a) onto the connector 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 overflow 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 compressor 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.
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.
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 storage location in the vehicle.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide poisoning and suffocation is possible if the engine is left running in a poorly ventilated or unventilated location (such as inside a building).
Distributing the sealant
12. Immediately drive approximately 7~10 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 authorized Kia dealer.
Checking the tire inflation pressure
1.After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles) or about 10 minutes, 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 pressure: Switch on the compressor, position I. To check the current inflation pressure setting, briefly switch off the compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run for more than 10 minutes, otherwise the device will overheat and may be damaged.
- To reduce the inflation pressure: Press the button (9) on the compressor.
CAUTION - Tire pressure sensor
Do not use sealant not approved by Kia as it may damage the tire pressure sensors. 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 at an authorized dealer.
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 service or towing.
