What to do in an emergency
307
If you have a flat tyre (with Tyre Mobility Kit)
When you use the Tyre Mobility Kit,
the wheel may be stained by seal
-
ant. Therefore, remove the wheel
stained by sealant and have the
vehicle inspected at a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Checking the tyre inflation pressure
1. After driving approximately 7~10
km (4~6 miles 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 fill
-
ing hose (3) (opposite side) to the
tyre valve.
3. Connect between compressor and
the vehicle battery using the cable
and connectors.
4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure
to 200 kPa (29 psi). With the igni
-
tion switched on, proceed as fol
-
lows.
䳜 To increase the inflation pres
-
sure: Switch on the compressor,
position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting,
briefly switch off the compres
-
sor.
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may be
damaged.
䳜 To reduce the inflation pres
-
sure: Press the button (9) on
the compressor.
If the inflation pressure is not main
-
tained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to Distributing the seal
-
ant. Then repeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual
for tyre damage larger than
approximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
Contact a professional workshop if
the tyre cannot be made roadwor
-
thy with the Tyre Mobility Kit. Kia
recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
The tyre inflation pressure must be
at least 200 kPa (29 psi). If it is not,
do not continue driving. Call for road
side service or towing.
Notes on the safe use of the tyre
Mobility Kit
䳜 Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with
the TMK away from moving traf
-
fic. Place your warning triangle in
a prominent place to make pass
