Notes on the safe use of the Tire Mobility Kit

  • Park your car at the side of the road so that you can work with the Tire Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.

  • To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you’re on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake.

  • Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car tires. Only punctured areas located within the tread region of the tire can be sealed using the tire mobility kit.

  • Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles or any other type of tires.

  • When the tire and wheel are damaged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for your safety.

  • Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not be effective for tire damage larger than approximately 6 mm (0.24 inches).

    If the tire cannot be made roadworthy with the Tire Mobility Kit, contact a professional workshop. Kia recommends to contact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

  • Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire is severely damaged by driving run flat or with insufficient air pressure.

  • Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have penetrated the tire.

  • Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise operating the compressor may eventually drain the car battery.

  • Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit unattended while it is being used.

  • Do not leave the compressor running for more than 10 min. at a time or it may overheat.

  • Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).

  • In case of skin contact with the sealant, wash the area thoroughly with plenty of water. If the irritation persists, seek medical attention.

  • In case of eye contact with the sealant, flush your eyes for at least 15 minutes. If the irritation persists, seek medical attention.

  • In case of swallowing the sealant, rinse the mouth and drink plenty of water. However, never give anything to an unconscious person and seek medical attention immediately.

  • Long time exposure to the sealant may cause damage to bodily tissue such as kidney, etc.
