What to do in an emergency
Introduction
With the Tyre Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay mobile even after experiencing a
tyre puncture.
The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tyre caused by nails or
similar objects and reinflates the tyre.
After you ensured that the tyre is
properly sealed you can drive cau-
tiously on the tyre (up to 200 km (120
miles)) at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) in order to reach a vehicle or
tyre dealer to have the tyre replaced.
It is possible that some tyres, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre 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 Tyre Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tyre
repair method and is to be used for
one tyre 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 Tyre Mobility Kit".
CAUTION
• When replacing or repairing the
tyre after using tyre sealant,
make certain to remove the
sealant attached to the inner
part of the tyre and wheel. If the
sealant is not removed, noise
and vibration may occur.
• We recommend use original
Kia manufactured sealant.
Using aftermarket sealant may
damage the tyre pressure
detection sensor.
• If the TPMS warning light illu-
minates after using the Tyre
Mobility Kit, have your vehicle
inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to
contect an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
• When repairing a flat tyre with
the Tyre Mobility Kit (TMK),
quickly remove the sealant on
the tyre pressure sensor and
wheel. When installing the
repaired tyre and wheel, tight-
en the wheel nut to a torque
value of 11~13kgf·m.
