How to repair a flat tyre with the Tyre Mobility Kit

If a tyre punctures while driving, the TPMS warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate. In the event of a flat tyre, it is crucial to move the car to a safe location before attempting any repairs. The Tyre Mobility Kit, located under the trunk floor, can be used as a temporary fix for the flat tyre.

Cautions

  • After using the Tyre Mobility Kit to seal a tyre, replace the tyre at the nearest Kia Service Centre within 200 km. During this time, it is advisable to maintain a speed of less than 80 km/h.
  • The Tyre Mobility Kit is only designed to seal the tread part where the tyre makes contact with the road surface.
  • Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit to repair large punctures or damage to the tyre sidewalls.
The availability and operation of features may vary depending on the model, trim, and region. For detailed information, please refer to the owner’s manual for your vehicle.
