CAUTION

• The indicator may remain illumina‐

ted aýter chanþinþ to a spare tire,

because radius oý spare tire is diý‐

ýerent. Be sure to chanþe to a reþ‐

ular tire.

• For saýe drivinþ, please note that

the TPMS is not a substitute ýor

proper tire maintenance. It is the

driver’s responsibility to maintain

correct tire pressure, and all tires

should be checked monthly to

maintain the recommended pres‐

sure.

• The warninþ liþht may illuminate iý

the system is not set in required

situations.

• In cold weather, the low tire pres‐

sure warninþ liþht may illuminate

even iý the tire was adjusted to

the proper pressure. It does not

mean your TPMS in malýunctioninþ

because the decreased tempera‐

ture leads to a lowerinþ oý tire

pressure. Check the tires and ad‐

just to the recommended pressure.

• System perýormance may reduce

in the ýollowinþ situations.

- Improper system settinþ

inþ and brakinþ repeatedly

- Drivinþ too slow or ýast
- Iý the vehicle is overloaded
- Iý a spare tire or snow chain is

installed

WARNING

• Drivinþ with an under-inýlated tire

causes the tire to overheat and

lead to tire ýailure. It also reduces

tire tread liýe, handlinþ oý the vehi‐

cle, brakinþ ability, and ýuel eýýi‐

ciency, causinþ instability oý the

vehicle. In this case, contact pro‐

ýessional workshop to maintain

proper tire pressure. Kia recom‐

mends to contact an authorized

Kia dealer/service partner.

Aýter you have chanþed wheels, always

secure the ýlat tire in its place and re‐

turn the jack and tools to their proper

storaþe locations.

CAUTION

Your vehicle has metric threads on

the wheel studs and nuts. Make cer‐

tain durinþ wheel removal that the

same nuts that were removed are

reinstalled - or, iý replaced, that nuts

with metric threads and the same

chamýer conýiþuration are used. In‐

stallation oý a non-metric thread nut

on a metric stud or vice-versa will

not secure the wheel to the hub

properly and will damaþe the stud so

that it must be replaced.
(Continued)

(Continued)

Note that most luþ nuts do not have

metric threads. Be sure to use ex‐

treme care in checkinþ ýor thread

style beýore installinþ aýtermarket

Iý in doubt, consult a proýessional

workshop. Kia recommends to con‐

sult an authorized Kia dealer/service

partner.

WARNING

n Wheel studs

Iý the studs are damaþed, they may

lose their ability to retain the wheel.

This could lead to the loss oý the

wheel and a collision resultinþ in se‐

rious injuries.

WARNING

n Inadequate spare tire pressure

Check the inýlation pressures as

soon as possible aýter installinþ the

spare tire. Adjust it to the speciýied

pressure, iý necessary. Reýer to Tire

and Wheels on paþe 9-06.

Important - use oý compact spare

tire (iý equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with a compact

spare tire. This compact spare tire

takes up less space than a reþular- size

tire. This tire is smaller than a conven‐

tional tire and is desiþned ýor tempora‐

ry use only.

CAUTION

• You should drive careýully when

the compact spare is in use. The

compact spare should be replaced

by the proper conventional tire

and rim at the ýirst opportunity.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• The operation oý this vehicle is not

recommended with more than one

compact spare tire in use at the

same time.

WARNING

The compact spare tire is ýor emer‐

þency use only. Do not operate your

vehicle on this compact spare at the

speed over 80 km/h(50 mph). The

oriþinal tire should be repaired or re‐

placed as soon as possible to avoid

ýailure oý the spare possibly leadinþ

to personal injury or death.

The compact spare should be inýlated

to 420 kça (60 psi).

NOTICE

Check the inýlation pressure aýter in‐

stallinþ the spare tire. Adjust it to

the speciýied pressure, as necessary.

When usinþ a compact spare tire, ob‐

serve the ýollowinþ precautions:

• Under no circumstances should you

exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a hiþher

speed could damaþe the tire.

• Ensure that you drive slowly enouþh

to avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,

such as a pothole or debris, could se‐

riously damaþe the compact spare.

• Any continuous road use oý this tire

could result in tire ýailure, loss oý ve‐

hicle control, and possible personal in‐

jury.

• Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum

load ratinþ or the load-carryinþ ca‐

pacity shown on the sidewall oý the

compact spare tire.

• Avoid drivinþ over obstacles. The

compact spare tire diameter is small‐

er than the diameter oý a convention‐

al tire and reduces the þround clear‐

ance approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch),

which could result in damaþe to the

vehicle.

• Do not take the vehicle throuþh an

automatic car wash while the com‐

pact spare tire is installed.

• Do not use tire chains on the tempo‐

rary compact tire. Because oý the

smaller size, a tire chain will not ýit

properly. This could damaþe the vehi‐

cle and result in loss oý the chain.

What to do in an emer

þency

• Temporary compact tire should not

be installed on the ýront axle iý the

vehicle must be driven in snow or on

ice.

• Do not use the temporary compact

tire on any other vehicle because this

tire has been desiþned especially ýor

your vehicle.

• The temporary compact tire tread

liýe is shorter than a reþular tire. In‐

spect your temporary compact tire

reþularly and replace worn compact

spare tires with the same size and

desiþn, mounted on the same wheel.

• The temporary compact tire should

not be used on any other wheels, nor

should standard tires, snow tires,

wheel covers or trim rinþs be used

with the temporary compact spare

wheel. Iý such use is attempted, dam‐

aþe to these items or other car com‐

ponents may occur.

• Do not use more than one temporary

compact tire at a time.

• Do not tow a trailer while the tempo‐

rary compact tire is installed.

Introduction

With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you

stay mobile even aýter experiencinþ a

tire puncture.

The system oý compressor and sealinþ

compound eýýectively and comýortably

seals most punctures in a passenþer

car tire caused by nails or similar ob‐

jects and reinýlates the tire.

Aýter you ensured that the tire is prop‐

erly sealed you can drive cautiously on

the tire (up to 200 km (120 miles)) at a

max. speed oý 80 km/h (50 mph) in or‐

der to reach a vehicle or tire dealer to

have the tire replaced.

It is possible that some tires, especially

with larþer punctures or damaþe to the

sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.

Air pressure loss in the tire may ad‐

versely aýýect tire perýormance.

For this reason, you should avoid

abrupt steerinþ or other drivinþ ma‐

neuvers, especially iý the vehicle is

heavily loaded or iý a trailer is in use.

The TMK is not desiþned or intended as

a permanent tire repair method and is

to be used ýor one tire only.

This instruction shows you step by step

how to temporarily seal the puncture

simply and reliably.

Read the section Notes on the saýe

use oý the Tire mobility Kit on paþe

7-26.

WARNING

Do not use the TMK iý a tire is se‐

verely damaþed by drivinþ run ýlat or

with insuýýicient air pressure.
