What to do in an emergency
16 6
Introduction
With the Tyre Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay mobile even after experiencing a
tyre puncture.
The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tyre caused by nails
or similar objects and reinflates the
tyre.
After you ensured that the tyre is
properly sealed you can drive cau-
tiously on the tyre (up to 200 km (120
miles)) at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) in order to reach a vehicle or
tyre dealer to have the tyre replaced.
It is possible that some tyres, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
The TMK is not designed or intended
as a permanent tyre repair method
and is to be used for one tyre only.
CAUTION
• When replacing or repairing
the tyre after using tyre
sealant,
make certain to
remove the sealant attached
to the inner part of the tyre,
including the tyre air pressure
detection sensor and wheel. If
the sealant is not removed,
noise and vibration may
occur, and the tyre air pres-
sure detection sensor may be
damaged.
• We recommend use original
Kia manufactured sealant.
Using aftermarket sealant may
damage the tyre air pressure
detection sensor.
• If the TPMS warning light illumi-
nates after using the TMK, have
your vehicle inspected by a pro-
fessional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to contact an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
