What to do in an emergency
6
You may not be able identify a tire
with low pressure by simply looking
at it. Always use a good quality tire
pressure gage to measure the tire's
inflation pressure. Please note that a
tire that is hot (from being driven) will
have a higher pressure measure-
ment than a tire that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.Information

•The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tire dam-
age caused by external fac-
tors such as nails or road
debris.
•If you feel any vehicle instabil-
ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually with light
force, and slowly move to a
safe position off the road.
WARNING
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may interfere with
the system's ability to warn the
driver of low tire pressure con-
ditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modify-
ing, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may void
the warranty for that portion of
the vehicle.

Maintenance
Owner Maintenance Schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the coolant level in the
engine coolant reservoir.
• Check the windshield washer fluid
level.
• Check the tire for low or under-
inflated tires.
While operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of
the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
• Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead posi-
tion.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly
turns slightly or "pulls" to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
road.
• When stopping, listen and check
for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or "hard-to-push" brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
• Check the automatic transmission
P (Park) function.• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
• Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the brake lights,
turn signals and hazard warning
flashers.
• Check the inflation pressures of all
tires including the spare for tires
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
• Check for loose wheel lug nuts. Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in
coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.

Maintenance
Low Aspect Ratio Tires
The aspect ratio is lower than 50 on
low aspect ratio tires.
Because low aspect ratio tires are
optimized for handling and braking,
their sidewall is a little stiffer than a
standard tire. Also low aspect ratio
tires tend to be wider and conse-
quently have a greater contact patch
with the road surface. In some
instances they may generate more
road noise compared with standard
tires.Because the sidewall of a low
aspect ratio tire is shorter than
a standard tire, the rim of the
wheel and the tire itself is more
easily susceptible to damage.
Use caution when driving and
follow the guidelines below to
help minimize damage to the
wheel and tire:
- When driving on a rough road
or off road, drive cautiously
because tires and wheels may
be damaged. And after driving,
inspect tires and wheels.
- When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tires and wheels are not dam-
aged.
- If the tire is subjected to a
severe impact, have the tire
and wheel inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
- Inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 1,800 miles
(3,000 km).
CAUTION
•It is not easy to recognize tire
damage with your own eyes.
But if there is the slightest
hint of tire damage, have the
tire checked or replaced
because the tire damage may
cause air leakage from the
tire.
•If the tire is damaged by driv-
ing on a rough road, off road,
pothole, manhole, or curb
stone, it will not be covered by
the warranty.
CAUTION
Do not mix bias ply and radial
ply tires under any circum-
stances. This may cause unusu-
al handling characteristics that
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.

FUSES
A vehicle's electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver's side panel
bolster, the other in the engine com-
partment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle's lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse
has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted or broken.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver's side
fuse panel. Before replacing a blown
fuse, turn the engine and all switches
off, and then disconnect the negative
battery cable. Always replace a
blown fuse with one of the same rat-
ing.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the sys-
tem.
NOTICE
NEVER replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of the
same rating.
•A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly
cause a fire.
•Do not install a wire or alu-
minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
possibly a fire.

LIGHT BULBS
Consult an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products to
replace most vehicle light bulbs. It is
difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs
because other parts of the vehicle
must be removed before you can get
to the bulb. This is especially true for
removing the headlamp assembly to
get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlamp
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.
Information
The headlamp and tail lamp lenses
could appear frosty if the vehicle is
washed after driving or the vehicle is
driven at night in wet weather. This
condition is caused by temperature
difference between the lamp inside
and outside and does not indicate a
problem with your vehicle. When
moisture condenses in the lamp, it will
be removed after driving with the
headlamp on. The removable level
may differ depending on lamp size,
lamp position and environmental con-
dition. However, if moisture is not
removed, we recommend that your
vehicle is inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.Light replacement
Be sure to replace the burned out
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electric
wiring system.Headlamp lens
To prevent damage, do not clean
the headlamp lens with chemical
solvents or strong detergents.
Information
• A normally functioning lamp may
flicker momentarily to stabilize the
vehicle's electrical control system.
However, if the lamp goes out after
flickering momentarily, or continues
to flicker, have the system checked
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
• The position lamp may not turn on
when the position lamp switch is
turned on, but the position lamp and
headlamp switch may turn on when
the headlamp switch is turned on.
This may be caused by network fail-
ure or vehicle electrical control sys-
tem malfunction. If this occurs, have
the system checked by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded prod-
ucts.

•Prior to replacing a lamp,
depress the brake pedal, shift
the gear into P (Park), apply
the parking brake, press the
Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF position, and take the
key with you when leaving the
vehicle to avoid sudden
movement of the vehicle and
to prevent possible electric
shock.
•Be aware the bulbs may be
hot and may burn your fin-
gers.

(5) Side marker• Always handle them carefully, and
avoid scratches and abrasions. If
the bulbs are lit, avoid contact with
liquids.
• Never touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause the
bulb to overheat and burst when lit.
• A bulb should be operated only
when installed in a headlamp.
• If a bulb becomes damaged or
cracked, replace it immediately
and carefully dispose of it.
•Handle halogen bulbs with
care. Halogen bulbs contain
pressurized gas that will pro-
duce flying pieces of glass that
could cause injuries if broken.
•Wear eye protection when
changing a bulb. Allow the
bulb to cool down before han-
dling it.
