Kia Sorento: Notes on the safe use of the Tire Mobility Kit

• Park your car on the side of the road so that you can use the TMK away from moving traffic.

• Be sure your vehicle cannot move. Even when on fairly level ground, always set the parking brake.

• Only use inflating TMK for sealing/inflating vehicle tires. Only punctured areas located within the tread region of the tire can be sealed using the TMK.

• Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles or any other type of tires.

• When the tire and wheel are damaged, do not use TMK for your safety.

• TMK may not be effective for tire damage larger than approximately 0.16 in (4 mm).

  Please contact the nearest Kia dealership if the tire cannot be made roadworthy with the Tire Mobility Kit.

• Do not use the TMK if a tire is severely damaged by driving with flat tires or with insufficient air pressure.

• Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have penetrated the tire.

• If the vehicle is outdoors, leave the vehicle ON (READY indicator ON). Otherwise operating the compressor may eventually drain the car battery.

• Never leave the TMK unattended while it is being used.

• Do not leave the compressor running for more than 10 minutes at a time or it may overheat.

• Do not use the TMK if the ambient temperature is below -22 °F (-30 °C).

CAUTION

Post-repair wheel torque

When done using a flat tire with the TMK, quickly remove the sealant from the tire pressure sensor and wheel. When installing the repaired tire and wheel, tighten the wheel nut to a torque value of 79–94 lbf·ft (11–13 kgf·m).

WARNING

Sealant safety guidelines

• Keep out of the reach of children.

• Avoid contact with eyes.

• Do not swallow.

WARNING

Expired sealant precautions

Do not use the tire sealant if it is past the expiration date on the sealant container. This can increase the risk of tire failure.

WARNING

Chemical exposure first aid

• If sealant gets on your skin, wash it with a lot of water. If skin irritation continues, visit a doctor.

• If sealant gets in your eyes, lift up your eyelid and wash for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation continues, visit a doctor.

• If sealant is swallowed, wash the mouth and drink a lot of water. However, do not give anything to an unconscious person and see a doctor immediately.

  Exposure to the sealant for a long time may cause damage to bodily tissues.
