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.
- Shake the sealant bottle.
- Remove the cap of the sealant bottle
and screw connection hose onto the
connector of the sealant bottle.
- Ensure that valve on the compressor
is locked.
- 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.
- Ensure that the compressor is
switched off, position 0.
- Connect between compressor and the
vehicle power outlet using the cable
and connectors.
- Make the ENGINE START/STOP button
position on or ignition switch position
on.
- 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.
- Switch off the compressor.
- 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.
READ NEXT:
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,
If you have a flat tire, you can change
the flat tire to a spare tire using tools.
WARNING
Driving on a flat tire will cause permanent
damage to the tire. Re-inflating a
tire after it has been dr
