If you have a tire gauge, check the tire
pressure (refer to the "Tires And Wheels"
section in chapter 2 for tire pressure
instructions.). If the pressure is lower or
higher than recommended, drive slowly
to the nearest service station and adjust it
to the recommended pressure. Always
reinstall the valve cap after checking or
adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not
replaced, air may leak from the tire. If you
loose a valve cap, buy another and install
it as soon as possible. After changing
tires, secure the flat tire and return the
jack and tools to their proper storage
locations.
Check the tire pressure as soon as
possible after installing a spare tire.
Adjust it to the recommended pressure.
Your vehicle has metric threads on the
studs and wheel lug nuts. Make certain
during tire changing that the same nuts
that were removed are reinstalled. If you
have to replace your lug nuts make sure
they have metric threads to avoid
damaging the studs and ensure the wheel
is properly secured to the hub. Consult an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products for assistance.
If any of the equipment such as the jack,
lug nuts, studs, or other equipment is
damaged or in poor condition, do not
attempt to change the tire and call for
assistance.
Use of compact spare tires
Compact spare tires are designed for
emergency use only. Drive carefully on
the compact spare tire and always follow
the safety precautions.
To prevent compact spare tire failure and
loss of control possibly resulting in an
accident:
• Use the compact spare tire only in an
emergency.
• NEVER operate your vehicle over 50
mph (80 km/h).
• Do not exceed the vehicle's maximum
load rating or the load carrying capacity
shown on the sidewall of the compact
spare tire.
• Do not use the compact spare tire
continuously. Repair or replace the
original tire as soon as possible to avoid
failure of the compact spare tire.
