10 minutes), stop at a safe location.
2. Connect hose (9) of the compres- sor directly to the tire valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet. 4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the recommended tire inflation.
With the ignition switched on, pro- ceed as follows.

Switch on the compressor. To
check the current inflation pres-
sure setting, briefly switch off the
compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pres- sure:
Press the button (8) on the com-
pressor.
Information

than actual reading when the com-
pressor is running. To get an accurate
tire pressure, the compressor needs to
be turned off.Information

replaced tire and wheel on the vehicle,
tighten the wheel lug nut to 79~94

When you use the Tire Mobility
Kit including sealant not
approved by Genesis Branded
Vehicle, the tire pressure sen-
sors may be damaged by
sealant. The sealant on the tire
pressure sensor and wheel

replace the tire with a new one
and inspect the tire pressure
sensors at an authorized retail-
er of Genesis Branded prod-
ucts.

Towing Service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products or a commercial
tow-truck service. Proper lifting and
towing procedures are necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle. The
use of wheel dollies or flatbed is rec-
ommended.When towing the vehicle by flatbed
equipment, secure wheels by using
chocks and tie-down straps (or soft
belts).
Do not place straps over body panels
or through the wheels.
Do not lift the vehicle by the tow
fitting or body and chassis parts.
Otherwise the vehicle may be
damaged.On AWD vehicles, your vehicle must
be towed with a wheel lift and dollies
or flatbed equipment with all the
wheels off the ground.
The AWD vehicle should never be
towed with the wheels on the
ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transmission or the
AWD system.
On 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to
tow the vehicle with the front wheels
on the ground (without dollies) and
the rear wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or sus-
pension components are damaged
or the vehicle is being towed with the
rear wheels on the ground, use a
towing dolly under the rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the rear of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the front.

What to do in an emergency
Do not tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground as
this may cause damage to the
vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Use a wheel lift or
flatbed equipment. When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
2. Release the parking brake.
Failure to place the shift lever in N
(Neutral) when being towed with
the front wheels on the ground
can cause internal damage to the
transmission.
Removable Towing Hook
1. Open the trunk, and remove the
towing hook from the tool case.
NOTICE
NOTICE
If your vehicle is equipped with
a rollover sensor, press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
OFF or ACC position when the
vehicle is being towed. The side
impact and curtain air bag may
deploy if the sensor detects the
situation as a rollover.

If a towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
Use a vehicle heavier than your own to tow your vehicle.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently.
Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force. Use a towing cable or chain less
than 16 feet (5 m) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 12 inch
(30 cm) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during tow-
ing.
Before towing, check the automat- ic transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the automatic trans-
mission fluid is leaking, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly must
be used.

What to do in an emergency
To avoid damage to your vehicle
and vehicle components when
towing:
Always pull straight ahead whenusing the towing hooks. Do not
pull from the side or at a vertical
angle.
Do not use the towing hooks to pull a vehicle out of mud, sand
or other conditions from which
the vehicle cannot be driven out
under its own power.
Limit the vehicle speed to 10 mph (15 km/h) and drive less
than 1 mile (1.5 km) when towing
to avoid serious damage to the
automatic transmission.
Tie-down HookNOTICE
6
Do not use the tie-down hook(s)
for towing purposes. If the tie-
down hook(s) are used for tow-
ing, the tie-down hook(s) or
bumper will be damaged and
this could lead to serious injury.
