Kia Forte: If you have a flat tire (With Tire Mobility Kit) / Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you stay mobile even after experiencing a tire puncture.
The system compressor and sealing compound effectively seal most punctures in a passenger car tire caused by nails or similar objects and reinflates the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is properly sealed, you can drive cautiously on the tire at a max. speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) in order to reach a vehicle or tire dealer to have the tire replaced as soon as possible.
It is possible that some tires, especially with larger punctures or damage 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. 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.
