What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tire (with Tire Mobility Kit)
6. Connect between compressor and the
vehicle power outlet using the cable
and connectors.
7. With the EV button ON, switch on the
compressor and let it run for approxi
-
mately 5~7 minutes to fill the sealant
up to cold tire recommended pres
-
sure. (refer to "Tires and wheels" on
page 10-4). Be careful not to overin
-
flate the tire and stay away from the
tire when filling it.
Tire Pressure
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if
the tire pressure is below 26 psi (180
kPa). This could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.
8. Switch off the compressor.
9. Detach the hoses from the sealant
bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
10.Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor
-
age location in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
After putting sealant into the tire, it is
necessary to drive the vehicle so that the
sealant becomes evenly distributed
inside the tire.
僅 Immediately drive approximately 4~6
miles (7~10 km or, about 10 minutes)
to evenly distribute the sealant in the
tire.
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.
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit, the
tire pressure sensors and wheel may be
stained by sealant. Therefore, remove
the tire pressure sensors and wheel
stained by the sealant and have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Checking the tire inflation pres
-
sure
After driving briefly so as to distribute
the sealant throughout the inside of the
tire, you should check the tire inflation
pressure.
1. After driving approximately 4~6 miles
(7~10 km or about 10 minutes), stop
at a safe location.
2. Connect the filling hose of the com
-
pressor (clip mounted side) directly
and then connect the filling hose
(opposite side) to the tire valve.
