Kia Picanto JA 2017-2025 Owner's Manual / What to do in an emergency / If you have a flat tire (with tire mobility kit) (Type A) / 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 TMK away from moving traffic. Place your warning triangle in a prominent place to make passing vehicles aware of your location.
To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you're on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake.
Only use the TMK for sealing/inflation passenger car tires. Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles or any other type of tires.
Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws-that have penetrated the tire.
Before using the TMK, read the precautionary advice printed on the sealant bottle!
Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise operating the compressor may eventually drain the car battery.
Never leave the TMK unattended while it is being used.
Do not leave the compressor running for more than 10 min. at a time or it may overheat.
Do not use the TMK if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
When the tire and wheel are damaged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for your safety.
