Driving your vehicle

Trailer towing

vated; the electronic control unit will
then detect the trailer because of the
power consumption by the trailer light

ing and inform the vehicle systems.
When the trailer is disconnected, the
brake pedal shall be pushed again or
turn signal lamps activated for the con

trol unit to be able to detect that there is
no power consumption anymore by trailer
lighting; the assistance systems that
were turned off will automatically turn on
again.

It is the driver's responsibility to ensure
that all electrical connections are work

ing and all trailer lights are operating
before and during towing. You must per

form manual checks.

CAUTION

Use only genuine electrical connections.
Do not attempt to arbitrarily splice or
directly connect the trailer wiring using
any other methods. Doing so may dam

age the vehicle's electrical system,
resulting in malfunctions.

Driving on grades

Reduce the speed and shift to a lower
gear before you start down a long or
steep downgrade. If you don't shift down,
you might have to use your brakes so
much that they would get hot and no
longer operate efficiently.

On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around 70 km/h
(45 mph) to reduce the possibility of
engine and transmission overheating.

CAUTION

• When towing a trailer on steep grades

(in excess of 6 %) pay close attention
to the engine coolant temperature
gauge to ensure the engine does not

overheat. If the needle of the coolant
temperature gauge moves across the
dial towards "H (HOT) (or 260

°F/130

°C)", pull over and stop as soon as it is
safe to do so, and allow the engine to
idle until it cools down. You may pro

ceed once the engine has cooled suf

ficiently.

• You must decide the driving speed

depending on trailer weight and uphill
grade to reduce the possibility of
engine and transmission overheating.

Parking on hills

Generally, if you have a trailer attached
to your vehicle, you should not park your
vehicle on a hill. People can be seriously
or fatally injured, and both your vehicle
and the trailer can be damaged if unex

pectedly roll down hill.

W ARNING

Parking on a hill
Parking your vehicle on a hill with a
trailer attached could cause serious
injury or death, should the trailer break
loose.

However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here's how to do it:

1. Pull the vehicle into the parking space.

Turn the steering wheel in the direc

tion of the curb (right if headed down
hill, left if headed up hill).

2. Set the parking brake and shut off the

vehicle.

3. Place chocks under the trailer wheels

on the down hill side of the wheels.

4. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes, shift

to neutral, release the parking brake
and slowly release the brakes until the
trailer chocks absorb the load.

5. Reapply the brakes, reapply the park

ing brake.

6. Shut off the vehicle and release the

vehicle brakes but leave the parking
brake set.

W ARNING

Parking brake
It can be dangerous to get out of your
vehicle if the parking brake is not firmly
set.

If you have left the engine running, the
vehicle can move suddenly. You or oth

ers could be seriously or fatally injured.

When you are ready to leave
after parking on a hill

1. Apply your brakes and hold the brake

pedal down while you:
• Start your engine;

僅

Shift into gear; and

• Release the parking brake.

2. Slowly remove your foot from the

brake pedal.

3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of

the chocks.

4. Stop and have someone pick up and

store the chocks.

Maintenance when trailer towing

Your vehicle will need service more often
when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular atten

tion to include engine oil, axle lubricant
and cooling system fluid. Brake condi

tion is another important item to fre

quently check. Each item is covered in
this manual, and the Index will help you
find them quickly. If you're trailering, it's a
good idea to review these sections
before you start your trip.

Don't forget to also maintain your trailer
and hitch. Follow the maintenance
schedule that accompanied your trailer
and check it periodically. Preferably,
conduct the check at the start of each
day's driving. Most importantly, all hitch
nuts and bolts should be tight.

CAUTION

• Due to higher load during trailer

usage, overheating might occur in hot
days or during uphill driving. If the
coolant gauge indicates overheating,
switch off the A/C and stop the vehi

cle in a safe area to cool down the
engine.

• When towing, check the transmission

fluid more frequently.

• If your vehicle is not equipped with an

air conditioner, you should install a
condenser fan to improve engine per

formance when towing a trailer.

If you do decide to pull a trailer

Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
• Consider using a sway control. You

can ask a hitch dealer about sway
control.

• Do not do any towing with your vehi

cle during its first 2,000 km (1,200
miles) in order to allow the engine to
properly break in. Failure to heed this
caution may result in serious engine or
transmission damage.

• When towing a trailer, consult an

authorized Kia dealer on additional
requirements such as a towing kit, etc.

• Always drive your vehicle at a moder

ate speed (less than 100 km/h (60
mph)).

CarManuals2.com

Driving your vehicle

Trailer towing

• On a long uphill grade, do not exceed

70 km/h (45 mph) or the posted tow

ing speed limit, whichever is lower.

• The chart contains important consid

erations that have to do with weight:

Weight of the trailer

A: Tongue Load

B: Total Trailer Weight
What is the maximum safe weight of a
trailer? It should never weigh more than
the maximum trailer weight with trailer
brakes. But even that can be too heavy.

It depends on how you plan to use your
trailer. For example, speed, altitude, road
grades, outside temperature and how
often your vehicle is used to pull a trailer
are all important. The ideal trailer weight
can also depend on any special equip

ment that you have on your vehicle.

Weight of the trailer tongue

A: Gross Axle Weight

B: Gross Vehicle Weight
The tongue load of any trailer is an
important weight to measure because it
affects the total gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of your vehicle. This weight
includes the curb weight of the vehicle,
any cargo you may carry in it, and the
people who will be riding in the vehicle.
And if you tow a trailer, you must add the
tongue load to the GVW because your
vehicle will also be carrying that weight.

The trailer tongue should weigh a maxi

mum of 10 % of the total loaded trailer
weight, within the limits of the maximum
trailer tongue load permissible.

After you've loaded your trailer, weigh
the trailer and then the tongue, sepa

they aren't, you may be able to correct
them simply by moving some items
around in the trailer.

W ARNING

Trailer
• Never load a trailer with more weight

in the rear than in the front. The front
should be loaded with approximately
60% of the total trailer load; the rear
should be loaded with approximately
40% of the total trailer load.

• Never exceed the maximum weight

limits of the trailer or trailer towing
equipment. Improper loading can result
in damage to your vehicle and/ or
personal injury. Check weights and
loading at a commercial scale or high

way patrol office equipped with
scales.

• An improperly loaded trailer can

cause loss of vehicle control.

Vehicle load limit

The vehicle load limit is displayed on the
tire and loading information label on the
driver's door.

Tire and loading information
label

The label located on the driver's door sill
gives the original tire size, cold tire pres

sures recommended for your vehicle,
the number of people that can be in
your vehicle and vehicle capacity weight.

Example for spare tire

Vehicle capacity weight:

• 6 seats: 468 kg (1,032 lbs.)
• 7 seats: 546 kg (1,204 lbs.)
Vehicle capacity weight is the maximum
combined weight of occupants and
cargo. If your vehicle is equipped with a
trailer, the combined weight includes the
tongue load.

Seating capacity:

Total: 6/7 persons (Front seat: 2 persons,
Rear seat: 4/5 persons)

Seating capacity is the maximum num

ber of occupants including a driver, your
vehicle may carry.

OMQ4A060052

CarManuals2.com

Driving your vehicle

Vehicle load limit

However, the seating capacity may be
reduced based upon the weight of all of
the occupants, and the weight of the
cargo being carried or towed.

Do not overload the vehicle as there is a
limit to the total weight, or load limit
including occupants and cargo, the vehi

cle can carry.

Towing capacity:

• Smartstream G2.5 GDi

- Without trailer brakes: 750 kg

(1,653 lbs.)

- With trailer brakes: 907 kg (2,000

lbs.)

• Smartstream G2.5 T-GDi

- Without trailer brakes: 750 kg

(1,653 lbs.)

- With trailer brakes: 907 kg (2,000

lbs.)

- With trailer package: 1,588 kg

(3,500 lbs.)

Towing capacity is the maximum trailer
weight including its cargo weight your
vehicle can tow.

Cargo capacity:

The cargo capacity of your vehicle will
increase or decrease depending on the
weight and the number of occupants.

Steps For Determining Correct
Load Limit -

1. Locate the statement "The combined

weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX lbs. or XXX kg''
on your vehicle's placard.

2. Determine the combined weight of the

driver and passengers that will be
riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the

driver and passengers from XXX lbs.
or XXX kg.

4. The resulting figure equals the avail

able amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity. For example, if the
"XXX" amount equals 635 kg (1400
lbs.) and there will be five 68 kg (150
lbs.) passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and lug

gage load capacity is 295 kg (650
lbs.). (635-340 (5x68) = 295 kg or
1400-750 (5x150) = 650 lbs.)

5. Determine the combined weight of

luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,

load from your trailer will be trans

ferred to your vehicle. Consult this
manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and lug

gage load capacity of your vehicle.

W ARNING

Loose cargo
Do not travel with unsecured blunt
objects in the passenger compartment of
your vehicle (e.g., suit cases or unse

cured child seats). These items may
strike an occupant during a sudden stop
or crash.

Driving your vehicle

Vehicle load limit

This label shows the maximum allowable
weight of the fully loaded vehicle. This is
called the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating). The GVWR includes the weight
of the vehicle, all occupants and cargo.

This label also tells you the maximum
weight that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).

To find out the actual loads on your front
and rear axles, you need to go to a
weigh station and weigh your vehicle.
Your dealer can help you with this. Be
sure to spread out your load equally on
both sides of the centerline.

W ARNING

Over loading
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehi

cle, the GAWR for either the front or rear
axle and vehicle capacity weight.
Exceeding these ratings can affect your
vehicle's handling and braking ability.

The label will help you decide how much
cargo and installed equipment your
vehicle can carry.

If you carry items inside your vehicle -
like suitcases, tools, packages, or any

thing else - they are moving as fast as
the vehicle. If you have to stop or turn
quickly, or if there is a crash, the items
will keep going and can cause an injury
if they strike the driver or a passenger.

W ARNING

Over loading
Do not overload your vehicle. Overload

ing your vehicle can cause heat buildup
in your vehicle's tires and possible tire
failure, increased stopping distances and
poor vehicle handling--all of which may
result in a crash.

NOTICE

CarManuals2.com

Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Do not overload your

What to do in an emergency

Road warning

When in an emergency situation occurs
while driving or when you park by the
edge of the roadway, you must alert
approaching or passing vehicles to be
careful as they pass. For this, you should
use the hazard warning flasher.

Hazard warning flasher

The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.

It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the
vehicle is stopped near the edge of a
roadway.

Depress the flasher switch with the
ENGINE START/STOP button in any
position. The flasher switch is located in
the center fascia panel. All turn signal
lights will flash simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher operates

whether your vehicle is running or not.

• The turn signals do not work when the

hazard flasher is on.

• Care must be taken when using the

hazard warning flasher while the vehi

cle is being towed.

In case of an emergency while
driving

If an emergency situation occurs while
driving, stay calm and take the following
steps.

If the vehicle stalls while driving

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep

ing a straight line.

2. Move cautiously off the road to a safe

place.

3. Turn on your hazard warning flasher.
4. Try to start the vehicle again. If your

vehicle will not start, contact an
authorized Kia dealer or seek other
qualified assistance.

If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing

• If the engine stalls at a crossroad or

crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.

If you have a flat tire while driv

ing

1. Take your foot off the accelerator

pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead.

Do not apply the brakes immediately
or attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause a loss of control.

2. When the vehicle has slowed to such

a speed that it is safe to do so, brake
carefully and pull off the road.

3. Drive off the road as far as possible

and park on firm level ground.

If you are on a divided highway, do
not park in the median area between
the two traffic lanes.

4. When the vehicle is stopped, turn on

your emergency hazard flashers, set

Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it.
This could cause damage to your vehi

cle. Refer to "Jump-starting" on page 6-
5.

If engine turns over normally but
does not start

1. Check the fuel level and add fuel if

necessary.

2. With the ENGINE START/STOP

button in the OFF position, check all
connec

tors at the ignition coils and

spark plugs. Reconnect any that may
be dis

connected or loose.

3. Check the fuel line in the engine com

partment.

4. If the engine still does not start, call an

authorized Kia dealer or seek other
qualified assistance.

What to do in an emergency

Emergency starting

When the vehicle will not start because
of low battery power, you may need to
jump start the vehicle.

Jump-starting

Connect cables in numerical order and
disconnect in reverse order.

Jump-starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to
yourself or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow these jump-starting pro

cedures. If in doubt, we strongly recom

mend that you have a competent
technician or towing service jump-start
your vehicle.

CAUTION

Use only a 12-volt jumper system. You
can damage a 12-volt starting motor,
ignition system, and other electrical parts
beyond repair by use of a 24- volt power
supply (either two 12-volt batter

ies in

series or a 24-volt motor generator set).

W ARNING

Frozen batteries

Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle if
the discharged battery is frozen, as the
battery may rupture or explode.

W ARNING

Battery
• Never attempt to check the electrolyte

level of the battery, as this may cause
the battery to rupture or explode.

• Keep all flames or sparks away from

the battery. The battery produces
hydrogen gas which may explode if
exposed to flame or sparks.

If these instructions are not followed
exactly, serious personal injury and
damage to the vehicle may occur! If
you are not sure how to follow this
procedure, seek qualified assistance.
Automobile batteries contain sulfuric
acid. This is poisonous and highly cor

rosive. When jump starting, wear pro

tective glasses and be careful not to
get acid on yourself, your clothing or
on the vehicle.

• Do not attempt to jump start the vehi

cle if the discharged battery is frozen
or if the electrolyte level is low; the
battery may rupture or explode.

• Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper

cables to touch. It may cause sparks.

• The battery may rupture or explode

when you jump start with a low or fro

zen battery.

W ARNING

Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable from the
negative terminal of the booster bat

tery

to the negative terminal of the dis

charged battery, directly. This can cause
the discharged battery to overheat and
crack or degrade. Make sure to connect

Sulfuric acid risk
Automobile batteries contain sulfuric
acid. When jump starting your vehicle,
be careful not to get sulfuric acid on
yourself, your clothing, or on the vehicle.
This acid is poisonous and highly corro

sive.

Jump-starting

1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-

volt and that its negative terminal is
grounded.

If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to
come in contact.

2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical

loads.

3. Connect the jumper cables in the

exact sequence shown in the illustra

tion.

1) Connect on end of a jumper cable

to the positive terminal of the dis

charged battery (1).

2) Connect the other end to the posi

tive terminal of the booster battery
(2).

3) Proceed to connect one end of the

other jumper cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery (3),
then the other end to a solid, sta

tionary, metallic point away from
the battery (4).

Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct

ground. Do not lean over the bat

tery when making connections.

4. If connected with the other vehicle,

start the vehicle with the booster bat

tery first and let it run at 2,000 rpm for
several minutes.

5. Start the vehicle with the discharged

battery.

6. If the engine starts, disconnect one

end of the negative terminal of the
booster battery (3), then other end of
the positive terminal of the booster
battery (2) and the discharged battery
(1).

If the cause of your battery discharging
is not apparent, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

NOTICE

Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable from the
negative terminal of the booster bat

tery

to the negative terminal of the dis

charged battery. This can cause the
discharged battery to overheat and
crack, releasing battery acid.

Make sure to connect one end of the
jumper cable to the negative terminal of
the booster battery, and the other end to a
metallic point, far away from the bat

tery.

Push-starting

Vehicles equipped with automatic trans

mission or DCT cannot be push-started,
and only jump starting can be applied.

Tow starting vehicle

Never tow a vehicle to start it.

What to do in an emergency

If the engine overheats

When the engine starts, the vehicle can
suddenly surge forward and could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.

If the engine overheats

If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss of
power, or hear a loud pinging or knock

ing, the engine will probably be too hot.

If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it

is safe to do so.

2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and set the

parking brake.

3. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
4. If engine coolant is running out under

the vehicle or steam is coming out
from underneath the hood, stop the
engine. Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or the
steaming has stopped.

5. If there is no visible loss of engine

coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be sure
the engine cooling fan is operating.

1) If the fan is not running, turn the

engine off.

6. Check to see if the water pump drive

belt is missing.

1) If it is not missing, check to see that

it is tight.

2) If the drive belt seems to be satis

factory, check for coolant leaking
from the radiator, hoses or under
the vehicle. (If the air conditioning
had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it
when you stop).

• The tire pressure shown on the dash

board may differ from the tire pres

sure measured by tire pressure
gauge.

• Low tire pressure warning may sound

when a tire's pressure unit is equal or

W ARNING

Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tire failure
that may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident

Each tire, including the spare (if pro

vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label.

(If your vehicle has tires of a different

cle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper
tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi

nates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi

cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire
to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi

ciency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stopping abil

ity.

Please note that the TPMS is not a sub

stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-infla

tion has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pres

sure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operat

ing properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subse

quent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunc

tion indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low
tire pressure as intended. TPMS mal

functions may occur for a variety of rea

sons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels

If any of the below happens, have the
system checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.

1. The low tire pressure telltale/TPMS

malfunction indicator does not illumi

What to do in an emergency

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping dis

tances. You should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible.

Inflate the tires to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle's placard or tire
inflation pressure label located on the
driver's side center pillar outer panel. If
you cannot reach a service station or if
the tire cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tire with the
spare tire.

Then the TPMS malfunction indicator
and the Low Tire Pressure telltale may
turn on and illuminate after restarting
and about 20 minutes of continuous
driving before you have the low pres

sure tire repaired and replaced on the
vehicle.

In winter or cold weather, the low tire
pressure telltale may be illuminated if the
tire pressure was adjusted to the rec

ommended tire inflation pressure in warm
weather. It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a pro

portional

lowering of tire pressure.

You should check the tire inflation pres

sure and adjust the tires to the recom

mended tire inflation pressure when
driving your vehicle in the following con

ditions.
• from a warm area to a cold area

W ARNING

Low pressure damage
Do not drive on low pressure tires. Sig

minute when there is a problem with the
TPMS.

If the system is able to correctly detect an
underinflation warning at the same time
as system failure, it will illuminate both
the TPMS malfunction and the low tire

Tire replacement with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire Pres

sure telltale will come on. Have the flat
tire repaired by an authorized Kia dealer
as soon as possible or replace the flat tire
with the spare tire.

CAUTION

CarManuals2.com

Repair Agents
Never use a puncture-repairing agent not
approved by Kia to repair and/or inflate a
low pressure tire. Sealant that is
not approved by Kia may damage the
tire pressure sensor.

Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres

sure sensor mounted inside the tire
behind the valve stem. You must use
TPMS specific wheels. Always have
your tires serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer.

Even if you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the Low Tire Pressure
telltale will remain on until the low pres

sure tire is repaired and placed on the
vehicle.

After you replace the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the TPMS malfunc

tion indicator may illuminate after a few
minutes. This is because the TPMS sen

sor mounted on the spare wheel is not
yet activated.

Once the low pressure tire is inflated
again to the recommended pressure and
installed on the vehicle or the TPMS sen

sor mounted on the replaced spare wheel
is initiated by a professional work

shop,

the TPMS malfunction indicator and the
low tire pressure telltale will turn off within
a few minutes of driving.

If the indicator has not disappeared after a
few minutes of driving, please visit an
authorized Kia dealer.

If an original mounted tire is replaced with
the spare tire, the TPMS sensor on the
replaced spare wheel should be initi

ated

and the TPMS sensor on the origi

nal

mounted wheel should be deactivated. If
the TPMS sensor on the original mounted
wheel located in the spare tire carrier still
activates, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System may not operate properly. Have
the tire with TPMS serviced or replaced
by an autho

rized Kia dealer.

You may not be able to identify a low tire
by simply looking at it. Always use a
good quality tire pressure gauge to mea

sure the tire's inflation pressure. Please
note that a tire that is hot (from being
driven) will have a higher pressure mea

surement than a tire that is cold (from
sitting stationary for at least 3 hours and
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) during
that 3 hour period).

Allow the tire to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold before inflating to the rec

ommended pressure.

A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less than
1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.

Never use tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS. The liquid seal

ant can damage the tire pressure sen

sors.

vice station and inflate to the correct
pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is
correct. Always reinstall the valve cap
after checking or adjusting tire pressure. If
the cap is not replaced, air may leak from
the tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy
another and install it as soon as possible.

After you have changed wheels, always
secure the flat tire in its place and return
the jack and tools to their proper storage
locations.

CAUTION

Reusing lug nuts
Make certain during wheel removal that
the same nuts that were removed are
reinstalled - or, if replaced, that nuts with
metric threads and the same chamfer
configuration are used. Your vehicle has
metric threads on the wheel studs and
nuts. Installation of a non-metric thread
nut on a metric stud will not secure the
wheel to the hub properly and will dam

age the stud so that it must be replaced.

Note that most lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use extreme
care in checking for thread style before
installing aftermarket lug nuts or wheels.
If in doubt, consult an authorized Kia
dealer.

The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary fix to
the tire and We recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

CAUTION

One sealant for one tire
When two or more tires are flat, do not
use the tire mobility kit because the sup

ported one sealant of Tire Mobility Kit is
only used for one flat tire.

W ARNING

Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair
punctures in the tire walls. This can result
in an accident due to tire failure.

W ARNING

Have your tire repaired as soon as possi

ble. The tire may loose 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 system of compressor and sealing
compound effectively and comfortably
seals most punctures in a passenger car
tire caused by nails or similar objects
and reinflates the tire.

After you ensured that the tire is prop

erly sealed you can drive cautiously on
the tire (distance up to 200 km (120
miles)) at a max. speed of 80 km/h (50
mph) in order to reach a service station
or tire dealer to have the tire replaced.

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 step by
step how to temporarily seal the punc

ture simply and reliably.
