Kia Sportage: Using the Tire Mobility Kit

CAUTION

Detach the speed restriction label from the sealant bottle, and place it in a highly visible place inside the vehicle such as on the steering wheel to remind the driver not to drive too fast.

1. Shake the sealant bottle.

2. Remove the cap of the sealant bottle and screw connection hose onto the connector of the sealant bottle.

3. Ensure that valve on the compressor is locked.

4. Unscrew the valve cap from the valve of the defective tire and screw the filling hose of the sealant bottle onto the tire valve.

CAUTION

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

5. Ensure that the compressor is switched off, position 0.
6. Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using the cable and connectors.

8. Make the ENGINE START/STOP button position on or ignition switch position on.
9. Switch on the compressor and let it run for approximately 5 ~ 7 minutes to fill the sealant up to proper pressure. (refer to "Tires and wheels"). The inflation pressure of the tire after filling is unimportant and will be checked/corrected later. Be careful not to overinflate the tire and stay away from the tire when filling it.

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

WARNING

If the tire pressure is below 26psi(180kPa), do not drive the vehicle.

The tire may cause accident.

9. Switch off the compressor.
10. Detach the sealant filling hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire valve. After using, leave the sealant bottle and the compressor attached together.

Return the TMK to its storage location in the vehicle.

WARNING

Carbon monoxide

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