What to do in an emergency

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (WITH TIRE MOBILITY KIT, IF EQUIPPED)

Introduction

CAUTION

With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay

mobile even after experiencing a tire

puncture.

The system of compressor and seal-

ing compound effectively and com-

fortably seals most punctures in a

passenger car tire caused by nails

or similar objects and reinflates the

tire.

When two or more tires are flat,

do not use the tire mobility kit

because the supported one

sealant of Tire Mobility Kit is

only used for one flat tire.

WARNING

After you ensured that the tire is

properly sealed you can drive cau-

tiously on the tire (distance up to 120

miles (200 km)) at a max. speed of

50 mph (80 km/h) in order to reach a

service station or tire dealer to have

the tire replaced.

It is possible that some tires, espe-

cially with larger punctures or dam-

age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed

completely.

Air pressure loss in the tire may

adversely affect tire performance.

For this reason, you should avoid

abrupt steering or other driving

maneuvers, especially if the vehicle

is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in

use.

OOS067009

Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit

to repair punctures in the tire

walls.This can result in an acci-

dent due to tire failure.

For safe operation, carefully read

and follow the instructions in this

manual before use.

(1) Compressor

(2) Sealant bottle

WARNING

The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary

fix to the tire and we recommend that

the system be inspected by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Have your tire repaired as soon

as possible. The tire may loose

air pressure at any time after

inflating with theTire Mobility Kit.

6-20

The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed

or intended as a permanent tire

repair method and is to be used for

one tire only. This instruction shows

you step by step how to temporarily

seal the puncture simply and reliably.

Read the section "Notes on the safe

use of the Tire Mobility Kit".

• Do not remove any foreign objects

such as nails or screws that have

penetrated the tire.

• Provided the car is outdoors, leave

the engine running. Otherwise oper-

ating the compressor may eventual-

ly drain the car battery.

• Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit

unattended while it is being used.

• Do not leave the compressor run-

ning for more than 10 min. at a time

or it may overheat.

• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the

ambient temperature is below

-22°F (-30°C).

• In case of skin contact with the

sealant, wash the area thoroughly

with plenty of water. If the irritation

persists, seek medical attention.

• In case of eye contact with the

sealant, flush your eyes for at least

15 minutes. If the irritation persists,

seek medical attention.

Notes on the safe use of the

Tire Mobility Kit

• Park your car at the side of the road

so that you can work with the Tire

Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.

• To be sure your vehicle will not

move, even when you're on fairly

level ground, always set your park-

ing brake.

• Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for

sealing/inflation passenger car tires.

Only punctured areas located within

the tread region of the tire can be

sealed using the tire mobility kit.

• Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles

or any other type of tires.

• When the tire and wheel are dam-

aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for

your safety.

• Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not

be effective for tire damage larger

than approximately 0.24 in (6 mm).

WARNING

Do not use the TMK if a tire is

severely damaged by driving run

flat or with insufficient air pres-

sure.

Only punctured areas located

within the tread region of the tire

can be sealed using the TMK.

If the tire cannot be made roadwor-

thy with the Tire Mobility Kit, we rec-

ommend that you contact an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a

tire is severely damaged by driving

run flat or with insufficient air pres-

sure.

• In case of swallowing the sealant,

rinse the mouth and drink plenty of

water. However, never give anything

to an unconscious person and seek

medical attention immediately.

• Long time exposure to the sealant

may cause damage to bodily tissue

such as kidney, etc.

What to do in an emergency

Components of the Tire Mobility Kit

Connectors, cable and connection

hose are stored in the compressor

housing.

Strictly follow the specified sequence,

otherwise the sealant may escape

under high pressure.

WARNING

Expired sealant

Do not use the Tire sealant after

the sealant has expired (i.e.

past the expiration date on the

sealant container). This can

increase the risk of tire failure.

screw the filling hose (3) of the

sealant bottle onto the valve.

OOS067010

Detach the speed restriction

label (1) from the sealant bottle

(2), and place it in a highly visi-

ble place inside the vehicle

such as on the steering wheel

to remind the driver not to drive

too fast.

3. Ensure that the compressor is

switched OFF.

CAUTION

Securely install the sealant fill-

ing hose to the valve. If not,

sealant may flow backward,

possibly clogging the filling

hose.

1. Shake the sealant bottle (2).

6-23

What to do in an emergency

Be careful not to overinflate the

tire and stay away from the tire

when filling it.

Distributing the sealant

CAUTION

Tire pressure

Do not attempt to drive your

vehicle if the tire pressure is

below 200 kPa (29 psi). This

could result in an accident due

to sudden tire failure.

OOS067014

5. Plug the compressor power cord

(4) into the vehicle power outlet.

OLMF064106

7. Switch off the compressor.

9. Immediately drive approximately

4~6 miles (7~10 km or, about

10min) 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).

8. Detach the hoses from the sealant

bottle connector and from the tire

valve.

Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-

age location in the vehicle.

NOTICE

Only use the front passenger side

power outlet when connecting the

power cord.

6. With the ignition switch in the ON

position, switch on the compres-

sor and let it run for approximately

5~7 minutes to fill the sealant up

to proper pressure. (refer to the

Tire and Wheels, chapter 8). The

inflation pressure of the tire after

filling is unimportant and will be

checked/corrected later.

WARNING

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.

Carbon monoxide

Do not leave your vehicle run-

ning in a poorly ventilated area

for extended periods of time.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

and suffocation can occur.

Call for road side service or towing.

2. Connect the filling hose (3) of the

compressor directly to the tire

valve.

3. Plug the compressor power cord

into the vehicle power outlet.

Checking the tire inflation

pressure

Information

The pressure gauge may show higher

than actual reading when the com-

pressor is running. To get an accurate

tire reading, the compressor needs to

be turned off.

4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to

the recomended tire inflation.

With the ignition swithched on,

proceed as follows.

CAUTION

- To increase the inflation pres-

sure : Switch on the compressor.

To check the current inflation

pressure setting, briefly switch off

the compressor.

If the inflation pressure is not

maintained, drive the vehicle a

second

time,

refer

Distributing the sealant. Then

repeat steps 1 to 4.

OIGH067043

- To reduce the inflation pres-

sure: Press the button (9) on the

compressor.

Use of the TMK may be ineffec-

tual for tire damage larger than

approximately 0.16 in (4 mm).

We recommend that you con-

tact an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer if the tire cannot be made

roadworthy with the Tire

Mobility Kit.

NOTICE

Do not let the compressor run for

more than 10 minutes, otherwise

the device will overheat and may

be damaged.

OOS067011

1. After driving approximately 4~6

miles (7~10 km or about 10 min),

stop at a safety location.

6-25

What to do in an emergency

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

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 at an

authorized dealer.

Information

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).
