What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tire (with Tire Mobility Kit)
If you have a flat tire (with Tire
Mobility Kit)
The Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) is a tempo
-
rary fix to the tire and the tire should be
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer as
soon as possible.

Sealant bottle

Compressor
The TMK is located in the cargo area or
in a dedicated bag in the liftgate on the
side trim.
For safe operation, carefully read and
follow the instructions in this manual
before use.
When two or more tires are flat, do not
use the TMK because the supplied canis
-
ter of sealant in the TMK is only enough
sealant for one flat tire.
Tire Sidewall
Do not use the TMK to repair large punc
-
tures or damage to the tire sidewalls. In
these situations, the tire will not be fully
sealed and air will leak from the tire. This
can result in tire failure.
Have your tire repaired as soon as possi
-
ble. The tire may lose air pressure at any
time after inflating with the TMK.
Speed with Temporary Fix
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50
mph) when driving with a tire sealed
with the TMK.
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 to
the side of the road.
Introduction
With the TMK properly used, the vehicle
can be operated even after experiencing
a tire puncture.
The system of compressor and sealing
compound effectively seals most punc
-
tures (from nails or similar objects) and
reinflates the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is properly
sealed, drive cautiously at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) to reach a
service station or tire dealer to replace
the tires.
Air pressure loss 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 a trailer is in use.
The TMK is not intended as a permanent
tire repair method and is to be used for
one tire only.
