Using the Tire Mobility Kit When a Tire is Flat

2C_HowToUseTMK

Detach the speed restriction label (1) from the sealant bottle (2), and place it in a highly visible place inside the vehicle such as on the steering wheel to remind the driver not to drive too fast.

If only the tire pressure needs to be adjusted, refer to the "How to Adjust Tire Pressure" in this chapter.

Before using the Tire Mobility Kit, be fully aware of the explanation on the sealant.

  1. Shake the sealant bottle (2).

  2. Remove the sealant bottle (2) cap and sealant bottle holder (5) cap and screw the bottle onto the sealant bottle holder.

  3. Make sure the compressor valve on the filling hose is locked.

  4. Unscrew the valve cap and screw the filling hose (3) onto the tire valve.

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

  5. Make sure the compressor is turned off and plug the compressor power cord (4) into the vehicle power outlet.

  6. With the vehicle on (¢ indicator on), switch on the compressor and let it run for about 5-7 minutes to on sealant up on proper pressure (For more information, refer to the "Tires and Wheels" section in chapter 2).

    Be careful not to overinflate the tire and stay away from the tire when filling it.

    Tire pressure

    Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if the tire pressure is below 29 psi (200 kPa). This could result in an accident due to sudden tire failure.

  7. Switch off the compressor.

  8. Detach the hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire valve.

    Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its storage location in the vehicle.

  9. Immediately drive about 4-6 mi. (7-10 km or, about 10 minutes) to evenly distribute the sealant in the tire.

    Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). If possible, do not fall below a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).

    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 of the side of the road.

    Call for road side service or towing.

  10. After driving about 4-6 mi. (7-10 km or about 10 minutes), stop at a safety location.

  11. Connect the filling hose (3) of the compressor directly to the tire valve.

  12. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.

  13. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the recommended tire inflation.

    With the vehicle on (¢ indicator on) proceed as follows.

    • To increase the inflation pressure: Switch on the compressor. To check the current tire inflation pressure setting, briefly switch off the compressor.

    • To reduce the inflation pressure rotate the deflation valve (9) on the filling hose (3).

The pressure gauge may show higher than actual reading when the compressor is running. To get an accurate tire reading, the compressor needs to be turned off.

If the tire inflation pressure is not maintained, drive the vehicle a second time, refer to step 9.

Then repeat steps 10 to 13.

Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for tire damage larger than about 0.16 in. (4 mm).

Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer if the tire cannot be made roadworthy with the Tire Mobility Kit.

The tire inflation pressure must be at least 32 psi (220 kPa). If it is not, do not continue driving.

Call for road side service or towing.

Tire pressure sensor (if equipped with TPMS)

The sealant on the tire pressure sensor and wheel should be removed when you replace the tire with a new one and inspect the tire pressure sensors. Have this done at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

When reinstalling the repaired or replaced tire and wheel on the vehicle, tighten the wheel lug nut to 79-94 lbf·ft (11-13 kgf·m).
