Kia Sorento (MQ4, 2021-2026) Owner's Manual / What to do in an emergency / If you have a flat tire (with Tire Mobility Kit)

The Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) supplied with your Kia Sorento provides a convenient and rapid temporary fix in the event of a flat tire, allowing you to get back on the road quickly before having the assembly thoroughly inspected by an authorized Kia dealer at your earliest convenience.

Compact electric air compressor and sealant bottle layout for the Kia Sorento Tire Mobility Kit
  1. Portable electric air compressor unit

  2. Specialized tire sealant bottle canister

The TMK is compactly housed either underneath the cargo area floor or within a dedicated storage bag located along the side trim of the liftgate in your Kia Sorento.

For safe operation, carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual before use.

CAUTION

Multiple punctures

When two or more tires are flat, do not use the TMK because the supplied canister of sealant in the TMK is only enough sealant for one flat tire.

WARNING

Tire Sidewall

Do not use the TMK to repair large punctures 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.

WARNING

Post-inflation inspection

Have your tire repaired as soon as possible. The tire may lose air pressure at any time after inflating with the TMK.

WARNING

Speed with Temporary Fix

Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) 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.
