Using the Tire Mobility Kit

CAUTION

Detach the speed restriction label from the sealant bottle, 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.

  1. Shake the sealant bottle.

  2. Connect the compressor hose to the compressor hose connector, located on the sealant bottle (1). Make sure the sealant bottle is sitting upright.

  3. Unscrew the valve cap of the damaged tire and screw the sealant bottle filling hose onto the tire valve.

  4. Make sure the compressor is turned off.

  5. Connect the battery connector and cable to the 12V battery in the following order.

    • Red cable: Connect to battery (+) terminal.

    • Black cable: Connect to battery (-) terminal

  6. Start the vehicle, turn on the compressor, and run it for approximately 5-7 minutes before injecting the sealant.

  7. Inject the sealant to ensure recommended tire air pressure. Check and adjust the tire pressures later. For the recommended air pressure, Refer to the "Tires and Wheels" section on page 8-3.

  8. Turn off the compressor and disconnect the sealant bottle's injection hose from the tire.

  9. After using it, keep the TMK assembled with the injection hose in the sealant bottle side and the injection hose in the compressor side assembly.

    CAUTION

    Securely install the sealant filling hose on the valve. If not, sealant may flow backward, possibly clogging the filling hose.

    WARNING

    If the tire pressure is below 29psi(200kPa), do not drive the vehicle. It may cause accident.

Return the TMK to its storage location in the vehicle.

WARNING

Carbon monoxide

Do not leave your vehicle running in a poorly ventilated area for extended periods of time. Carbon monoxide poisoning and suffocation can occur.
