What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tire (with Tire Mobility Kit)
CAUTION
僅 Securely install the sealant filling hose
to the valve. If not, sealant may flow
backward, possibly clogging the filling
hose.
僅 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). 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 of
the side of the road. Call for road side
service or towing. When you use the
Tire 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 visiting
