Kia Mobility KIT-TIRE (Model 52933-2Y000) Instruction Manual

Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Kia Mobility KIT-TIRE (Model 52933-2Y000) tire compressor. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the product and retain it for future reference. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific tire pressure recommendations and emergency procedures.

Important Safety Information

• Do not use for sidewall punctures: This device is designed for temporary repair of tread punctures only. It is not suitable for punctures on the tire sidewall or for significant tire damage.
• Avoid overheating: Continuous operation can cause the compressor to overheat. Allow the unit to cool down if it becomes excessively hot during use.
• Proper voltage: Ensure the compressor is connected to a 12-volt DC power source, typically your vehicle's accessory outlet.
• Children and pets: Keep the compressor and its components away from children and pets.
• Eye protection: Wear appropriate eye protection when operating the compressor.
• Vehicle stability: Ensure your vehicle is parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged before attempting any tire inflation.
• Tire pressure: Always inflate tires to the pressure specified in your vehicle's owner's manual or on the tire placard. Over-inflation can be dangerous.

Setup

1. Prepare the vehicle: Park your vehicle on a flat, stable surface. Engage the parking brake and turn off the engine.
2. Locate the compressor: Remove the Kia Mobility KIT-TIRE compressor from its storage location.
3. Connect to tire valve: Unscrew the valve cap from the tire. Firmly screw the compressor's air hose connector onto the tire valve stem until secure.
4. Connect to power: Insert the compressor's power plug into your vehicle's 12V accessory outlet (cigarette lighter socket). Ensure the vehicle's ignition is in the "ACC" or "ON" position, or the engine is running, as required by your vehicle.

Operating Instructions

1. Initial Pressure Check: Before turning on the compressor, observe the current tire pressure reading on the integrated gauge.
2. Start Inflation: Flip the power switch on the compressor to the "ON" position. The compressor will begin to inflate the tire.
3. Monitor Pressure: Continuously monitor the pressure gauge. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure (e.g., 2.0-2.8 bar / 30-40 psi, or as specified in your vehicle's manual).
4. Stop Inflation: Once the desired pressure is reached, immediately switch the compressor to the "OFF" position.
5. Disconnect: Unscrew the air hose connector from the tire valve and replace the valve cap. Disconnect the power plug from the vehicle's 12V outlet.
6. Post-Inflation Driving (for temporary sealant use): If using the compressor with tire sealant for a temporary repair, drive the vehicle immediately for a short distance (e.g., 10 km / 6 miles) at a moderate speed (e.g., 20-80 km/h or 15-50 mph) to allow the sealant to distribute evenly.
7. Re-check Pressure: After driving, re-check the tire pressure. If the pressure has dropped significantly, the repair may not be effective, and professional assistance is required.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the compressor with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the unit in water.
• Storage: Store the compressor in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the hose and power cord are neatly coiled to prevent damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the air hose, power cord, and connectors for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Do not use the unit if any components are damaged.

Troubleshooting

• Compressor does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power plug is fully inserted into the 12V outlet.
  • Check the vehicle's 12V outlet fuse.
  • Verify the vehicle's ignition is in the correct position (ACC or ON).
• Slow inflation or no inflation:
  • Ensure the air hose connector is securely attached to the tire valve.
  • Check for leaks in the air hose or connections.
  • Verify the tire valve stem is not damaged.
  • If the tire has a large puncture or sidewall damage, the compressor may not be able to inflate it.
• Compressor overheats:
  • Allow the unit to cool down for at least 10-15 minutes before resuming operation.
  • Avoid continuous operation for extended periods.
• Inaccurate pressure reading:
  • Ensure the compressor is on a stable surface.
  • Compare the reading with a known accurate tire pressure gauge if available.
