Distributing the sealant

After putting sealant in the tire, it is necessary to drive the vehicle so that the sealant becomes evenly distributed inside the tire.

  • Immediately drive approximately 4~6 miles (7~10 km or, about 10 minutes) to evenly distribute the sealant in the tire.

Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). If possible, do not drop below 20 km/h (12 mph).

While driving, if you experience any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or noise, reduce your speed further and drive with caution until you can safely pull off of the side of the road.

CAUTION

When you use the TMK, the tire pressure sensors and wheel may be stained by sealant. Remove the tire pressure sensors and wheel stained by the sealant and have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
