Kia Sportage: Distributing the sealant
![Distributing the sealant](images/books/1538/17/index.8.jpg)
- Immediately drive approximately 4 ~
6 miles (7 ~ 10 km or, about 10min) to
evenly distribute the sealant in the
tire.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80
km/h). If possible, do not fall below a
speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
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 an
authorized Kia dealer.
Checking the tire inflation pressure
- After driving approximately 4 ~ 6
miles (7 ~ 10 km or about 10 min),
stop at a safety location.
- Connect the filling hose of the compressor
directly to the tire valve.
![Checking the tire inflation pressure](images/books/1538/17/index.9.jpg)
- Connect between compressor and the
vehicle power outlet using the cable
and connectors.
- Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the
recommended tire inflation.
With the ignition switched on, proceed
as follows.
- To increase the inflation pressure:
Switch on the compressor. To
check the current inflation pressure
setting, briefly switch off the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pressure:
Turn the valve on the compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run for more
than 10 minutes, otherwise the device
will overheat and may be damaged.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not maintained,
drive the vehicle a second time,
refer to "Distributing the sealant". Then repeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for
tire damage larger than approximately
0.16 of an inch (4 mm).
We recommend that you please contact
the nearest Kia dealership if the tire cannot
be made roadworthy with the Tire
Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must be at
least 180 kPa (26 psi). If it is not, do not
continue driving. Call for road side service
or towing.
NOTICE
When reinstalling the repaired or
replaced tire and wheel on the vehicle,
tighten the wheel lug nut to 79 ~ 94 lbf*ft
(11 ~ 13 kgf*m).
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 TMK
away from moving traffic. Place your
warning triangle in a prominent place
to make passing vehicles aware of
your location.
- To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you're on fairly level
ground, always set your parking
brake.
- Only use the TMK for sealing/inflation
passenger car tires. Do not use on
motorcycles, bicycles or any other
type of tires.
- Do not remove any foreign objectssuch
as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tire.
- Before using the TMK, read the precautionary
advice printed on the sealant
bottle!
- Provided the car is outdoors, leave the
engine running. Otherwise operating
the compressor may eventually drain
the car battery.
- Never leave the TMK 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 TMK if the ambient
temperature is below -22ºF (-30ºC).
- When the tire and wheel are damaged,
do not use Tire Mobility Kit for
your safety.
