NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
ABS warning light ( ) may turn
on at the same time. This happens
because of the low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS is malfunc-
tioning. Have the battery recharged
before driving the vehicle.
If the ABS warning light ( ) is
on and stays on, you may have
a problem with the ABS. Your
power brakes will work normal-
ly. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, contact your
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products as soon as
possible.
WARNING
When you drive on a road hav-
ing poor traction, such as an icy
road, and apply your brakes
continuously, the ABS will be
active continuously and the
ABS warning light ( ) may
illuminate. Pull your car over to
a safe place and turn the engine
off.
Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your
ABS system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a
problem with your ABS system.
Contact an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products
as soon as possible.

replacing tires, make sure they
are the same size as your origi-
nal tires for this vehicle.

Maintenance
Keep the battery securely mount-
ed.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connec-
tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
Rinse any spilled acid from the bat-
tery immediately with a solution of
water and baking soda.
Battery recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.AGM battery
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM)
batteries are maintenance-
free and we recommend that
the AGM battery be serviced
by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
For charging your AGM bat-
tery, use only fully automatic
battery chargers that are spe-
cially developed for AGM bat-
teries.
When replacing the AGM bat-
tery, we recommend that you
use parts for replacement
from an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
Do not open or remove the
cap on top of the battery. This
may cause leaks of internal
electrolyte that could result in
severe injury.

Tire care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle. (Continued)Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn tires can
cause loss of braking effec-
tiveness, steering) control, or
traction.
ALWAYS replace tires with the
same size as each tire that
was originally supplied with
this vehicle. Using tires and
wheels other than the recom-
mended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics, poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehi-
cle's Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.
Tire failure may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident. To reduce risk of
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH,
take the following precautions:
Inspect your tires monthly for
proper inflation as well as
wear and damage.
The recommended cold tire
pressure for your vehicle can
be found in this manual and
on the tire label located on the
driver's side center pillar.
Always use a tire pressure
gauge to measure tire pres-
sure. Tires with too much or
too little pressure wear
unevenly causing poor han-
dling.
Check the pressure of the
spare every time you check
the pressure of the other tires
on your vehicle.

Maintenance
Wheel alignment and tire bal-
ance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Tire replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tire.
OLMB073027
Tread wear indicator
Improper wheel weights can
damage your vehicle's alu-
minum wheels. Use only
approved wheel weights.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY:
Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are dam-
aged. Worn tires can cause loss
of braking effectiveness, steer-
ing control, and traction.
Always replace tires with the
same size as each tire that was
originally supplied with this
vehicle. Using tires and wheels
other than the recommended
sizes could cause unusual han-
dling characteristics, poor vehi-
cle control, or negatively affect
your vehicle's Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) resulting in a
serious accident.
When replacing tires (or
wheels), it is recommended to
replace the two front or two rear
tires (or wheels) as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seri-
ously affect your vehicle's han-
dling.
