Distributing the sealant

Operation

  • Immediately drive approximately 7–10 km (4–6 miles, or approximately 10 minutes) to distribute the tyre sealant evenly.

WARNING

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

  • If the tyre pressure is below 26 psi (180 kPa), do not drive the vehicle. The tyre may cause an accident.

CAUTION

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

  • Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). If possible, do not fall below a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph). Whilst driving, if you experience any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or noise, reduce your speed and drive with caution until you can safely pull off of the side of the road. Call for road side service or towing. When you use the Tyre Mobility Kit, the wheel may be stained by sealant. Therefore, remove the wheel stained by sealant and have the vehicle inspected at a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

  • Do not connect another vehicle's Tyre Mobility Kit (TMK) to the power outlet. The unmatched power requirement between the vehicle power outlet and the tyre mobility kit can cause fire or circuit damage within the vehicle and the Tyre Mobility Kit.
