Safety Notes for the Tire Mobility Kit

~1min read
  • Park your vehicle on the side of the road so that you can work with the Tire Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.
  • To make sure your vehicle does not move, even when parked on fairly level ground, always set the parking brake.
  • Use the Tire Mobility Kit only to seal and inflate passenger car tires. Only punctures located in the tread area of the tire can be sealed with the Tire Mobility Kit.
  • Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles, or any other type of tire. • When the tire and wheel are damaged, do not use the Tire Mobility Kit for your safety.
  • The Tire Mobility Kit cannot be effective for tire damage larger than approximately 6 mm (0.24 in). Please contact the nearest Kia dealer if the tire cannot be made serviceable with the Tire Mobility Kit.
  • Do not remove foreign objects such as nails or screws that have punctured the tire.
  • If the vehicle is on the road, keep the engine running. Otherwise, operation of the compressor may eventually discharge the vehicle battery.
  • Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit unattended during use.
  • Do not operate the compressor for more than 10 minutes at a time, or it may overheat.
  • Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).

WARNING

  • If sealant contacts skin, wash the affected areas thoroughly. Seek medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
  • If sealant contacts eyes, flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
  • If sealant is swallowed, call a physician or poison control center immediately.

WARNING

Do not use the kit if the tire is severely damaged.
