How to repair a flat tire with the Tire Mobility Kit

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

Cautions

  • After using the mobility kit to seal a tire, replace the tire at the nearest Kia Service Center within 200 km. During this time, it is advisable to maintain a speed of less than 80 km/h.
  • The tire mobility kit is only designed to seal the tread part where the tire contacts the road surface.
  • Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair large punctures or damage to the tire 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.
