Checking the tire inflation pressure

  1. After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles or about 10 minutes), stop at a suitable location.

  2. Connect the filling hose (3) of the compressor (clip mounted side) directly and then connect the filling hose (3) (opposite side) to the tire valve.

  3. Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using the cable and connectors.

  4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the cold tire recommended pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s placard or tire inflation pressure label located on the driver’s side center pillar outer panel. (In this owner’s manual, refer to More Details)

    • To increase the inflation pressure: Switch on the compressor, position I. To check the current inflation pressure setting, briefly switch off the compressor.

      WARNING

      Do not let the compressor run for more than 10 minutes, otherwise the device will overheat and may be damaged.

    • To reduce the inflation pressure: Press the button (9) on the compressor.

      CAUTION

      If the inflation pressure is not maintained, drive the vehicle a second time, refer to More Details.

      Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for tire damage larger than approximately 4 mm (0.16 in).

      Contact a professional workshop if the tire cannot be made roadworthy with the Tire Mobility Kit. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

      WARNING

      The tire inflation pressure must be at least 250 kPa (36 psi/2.5 bar). If it is not, do not continue driving. Call for road side service or towing.
