If you have a flat tyre (with Tyre Mobility Kit)
When you use the Tyre Mobility Kit,
the wheel may be stained by seal

ant. Therefore, remove the wheel
stained by sealant and have the
vehicle inspected at a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Checking the tyre inflation pressure
1. After driving approximately 7~10
km (4~6 miles or about 10 min
-
utes), stop at a suitable location.
2. Connect the filling hose (3) of the
compressor (clip mounted side)
directly and then connect the fill
-
ing hose (3) (opposite side) to the
tyre valve.
3. Connect between compressor and
the vehicle battery using the cable
and connectors.
4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure
to 200 kPa (29 psi). With the igni
-
tion switched on, proceed as fol
-
lows.
䳜
To increase the inflation pres

position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting,

the compressor.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not main
