Information
The pressure gauge may show higher than
actual reading when the compressor is
running. To get an accurate tire pressure,
the compressor needs to be turned off.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to Distributing the sealant.
Then repeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for
tire damage larger than approximately
0.16 in. (4 mm).
Contact an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products if the tire
cannot be made roadworthy with the
Tire Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must be
inflated to the proper pressure (Refer to
“Tire and Wheels” section in chapter 2).
If it is not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or towing.
CAUTION
Tire pressure sensor
The sealant on the tire pressure sensor
and wheel should be removed when
you replace the tire with a new one and
inspect the tire pressure sensors at an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
Information
When reinstalling the repaired or replaced
tire and wheel on the vehicle, tighten the
wheel bolt to 101~116 lbf·ft (14~16 kgf·m).

TOWING
Towing Service
OJX1089016OJX1089016[A] : Dollies
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 recommended.
For 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 suspension
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.
For AWD vehicles, it must be towed
with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground.
NOTICE
• Do not lift the vehicle by the tow
fitting or body and chassis parts.
Otherwise the vehicle may be
damaged.
• An AWD vehicle should never be
towed with the wheels on the
ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transmission or the
AWD system.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the rear
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
OJX1089019OJX1089019
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

Emergency Towing

Emergency Situations

16 feet
OJX1089020OJX1089020
• Use a towing cable or chain less than
16 ft. (5 m) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 12 in. (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 towing.
• Before towing, check the automatic
transmission for fluid leaks under your
vehicle. If the automatic transmission
fluid is leaking, flatbed equipment or a
towing dolly must be used.
NOTICE
Accelerate or decelerate the vehicle
in a slow and gradual manner while
maintaining tension on the tow rope
or chain to start or drive the vehicle,
otherwise tow hooks and the vehicle
may be damaged.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to your vehicle and
vehicle components when towing:
• Always pull straight ahead when
using 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.
