Kia Sportage - Video tutorial

Model: Kia Sportage MK 3, SL - Years 2010-2016
Part: Wheel
Operation: How to use the inflation kit in case of a puncture

Many manufacturers now equip their cars with the inflation kit rather than with the spare wheel and the relative tool kit, possibly proposing it as an accessory; obviously the inflation kit is effective only in the event of a puncture and not in the event of a tire failure (for example due to a hole); the kit includes a compressor and a bottle of a special liquid in case of repairing the puncture internally; you will then proceed by screwing the can into the compressor seat and then connect the power cable of the compressor itself to the cigar lighter socket and then apply the hose to the wheel valve; then activate the compressor: during the inflation phase it is suggested to keep the car engine running to avoid draining the battery; at the end of the inflation check the pressure with the appropriate pressure gauge and disconnect the compressor.
