  7. Turn the vehicle power on by placing the ENGINE START/STOP button or ignition switch in the ON position.

  8. Switch on the compressor and let it run for approximately 5–7 minutes to fill the sealant up to proper pressure (refer to Tires and wheels). The inflation pressure of the tire after filling is unimportant and will be checked/corrected later. Be careful not to overinflate the tire and stay away from the tire when filling it. When the tire and wheel are damaged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for your safety.

  9. Switch off the compressor.

  10. Detach the sealant filling hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire valve. After using, leave the sealant bottle and the compressor attached together. Return the TMK to its storage location in the vehicle.

    CAUTION

    • Securely install the sealant filling hose on the valve. If not, sealant may flow backward, possibly clogging the filling hose.

    WARNING

    If the tire pressure is below 29 psi (200 kPa), do not drive the vehicle. It may cause accident.

Return the TMK to its storage location in your Kia Sorento.

WARNING

Carbon monoxide

Do not leave your vehicle running in a poorly ventilated area for extended periods of time. Carbon monoxide poisoning and suffocation can occur.
