If you have a flat tire (with Tire Mobility Kit (TMK)) (if equipped)

Please read the instructions before using the TMK.

  1. Compressor

  2. Sealant bottle

The TMK is a temporary fix to the tire and the tire should be inspected by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible.

CAUTION

One sealant for one tire

When two or more tires are flat, do not use the TMK because the canister of sealant in the TMK only contains enough sealant for one flat tire.

WARNING

Speed with temporary fix

Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when driving with a tire sealed with the TMK. While driving, if you experience any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or noise, reduce your speed and drive with caution until you can safely pull off the side of the road.

WARNING

Tire wall

Do not use the TMK to repair large punctures or damage to the tire sidewalls. In these situations, the tire cannot be sealed completely, and air will leak from the tire. This can result in tire failure.

WARNING

Temporary fix

Have your tire repaired as soon as possible.The tire may lose air pressure at any time after inflating with the TMK.

CAUTION
  • When replacing or repairing the tire after using tire sealant, make sure to remove the sealant attached to the inner part of the tire and wheel. If the sealant is not removed, noise and vibration may occur.

  • If the TPMS warning light illuminates after using the TMK, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

  • When repairing a flat tire with the TMK, quickly remove the sealant on the tire pressure sensor and wheel. When installing the repaired tire and wheel, tighten the wheel nut to a torque value of 79~94 lbf·ft (11~13 kgf·m).
