Hyundai Santa Fe: If you have a flat tire (with Tire Mobility Kit) / Using the Tire Mobility Kit

WARNING

Detach the speed restriction label (1) from the sealant bottle (2), and place it in a highly visible place inside the vehicle such as on the steering wheel to remind the driver not to drive too fast.

1. Shake the sealant bottle (2).

2. Remove the cover (A) of the sealant bottle (2) and compressor (6).

3. Connect the sealant bottle (2) and compressor (6).

4. Make sure that the valve (9) for reducing tire inflation pressure is closed.

5. Unscrew the valve cap from the valve of the defective and screw the connection hose (3) of the compressor and tire.

NOTICE

Securely install the sealant filling hose to the valve. If not, sealant may flow backward, possibly clogging the filling hose.

6. Make sure the compressor turns off.

7. Connect the cable and connector (4) to the power outlet in the vehicle.

8. Start the vehicle.

9. With the engine running, switch on the compressor by pressing [I] and let it run for approximately 5~7 minutes to fill the sealant up to proper pressure. (Refer to “Tire and Wheels” section in chapter 2). The inflation pressure of the tire after filling is unimportant and will be checked/ corrected later.

Be careful not to overinflate the tire and stay away from the tire when filling it.

CAUTION

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.

10. Switch off the compressor.

11. Detach the hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire valve.

Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its storage location in the vehicle.

WARNING

Do not leave your vehicle running in a poorly ventilated area for extended periods of time. Carbon monoxide poisoning and suffocation can occur.

Distributing the sealant

12. Immediately drive approximately 4~6 miles (7~10 km or about 10 minutes) 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).

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.

Call for road side service or towing.

13. After driving approximately 4~6 miles (7~10 km or about 10 minutes), stop at a safe location.

14. Connect the connection hose (3) of the compressor and tire into the tire valve.

15. Connect cables (4) to the battery.

16. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the recommended tire inflation.

With the engine running, proceed as follows.

-- To increase the inflation pressure:

Switch on the compressor. To check the current inflation pressure setting, briefly switch off the compressor.

-- To reduce the inflation pressure:

Adjust the valve (9) for reducing tire inflation pressure.

NOTICE

Do not let the compressor run for more than 10 minutes, otherwise the device will overheat and may be damaged.
