NOTICE
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible after installing a spare tyre.
Adjust it to the recommended pressure.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on the
studs and wheel bolts. Make certain
during tyre changing that the same
bolts that were removed are reinstalled.
If you have to replace your wheel bolts
make sure they have metric threads to
avoid damaging the studs and ensure
the wheel is properly secured to the
hub. We recommend that you consult
an authorised Retailer of Genesis
Branded Products for assistance.
If any of the equipment such as the jack,
wheel bolts, studs, or other equipment
is damaged or in poor condition, do not
attempt to change the tyre and call for
assistance.
