If You Have A Flat Tire

(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
For safe operation, carefully read and
follow the instructions in this manual
before use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary fix to
the tire and the tire should be inspected
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products or the equivalent
approved for your vehicle as soon as
possible.
When two or more tires are flat, do not
use the tire mobility kit because the
sealant provided with the Tire Mobility Kit
must be used for only one flat tire.
• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair
punctures in the tire walls. This can
result in an accident due to tire failure.
• Have your tire repaired as soon as
possible. The tire may lose air pressure
at any time after inflating with the Tire
Mobility Kit.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay mobile
even after experiencing a tire puncture.
The compressor and sealing compound
system effectively and comfortably seals
most punctures in a passenger car tire
caused by nails or similar objects and
reinflates the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is properly
sealed, you can drive cautiously (distance
up to 120 mi. (200 km)) at a max. speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) in order to reach a
service station or tire dealer for the tire
replacement.
It is possible that some tires, especially
with larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may adversely
affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid abrupt
steering or other driving maneuvers,
especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded
or if a trailer is in use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed or
intended as a permanent tire repair
method and is to be used for one tire only.
This instruction shows you how to
temporarily seal the puncture simply and
reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe use of
the Tire Mobility Kit".
Do not use the TMK if a tire is severely
damaged by driving run flat or with
insufficient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the
tread region of the tire can be sealed
using the TMK.
