If You Have a Flat Tire While
Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

[Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. When the
vehicle has slowed to such a speed
that it is safe to do so, brake carefully
and pull off the road. Drive off the
road as far as possible and park on
firm, level ground. If you are on a
divided highway, do not park in the
median area between the two traffic
lanes.

[When the vehicle is stopped, press the
hazard warning flasher button, shift
the gear to P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and press the Start/Stop button
to the OFF position.

[Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the
side of the vehicle that is away from
traffic.

[When changing a flat tire, follow the
instructions provided later in this
chapter.
IF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT
START
Confirm the EV Battery is not
Low on the Charge Gauge

[Be sure the gear is in P (Park). The
vehicle starts only when the gear is in
P (Park).

[Check the 12-volt battery connections
to be sure they are clean and tight.

[Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the 12V battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it.
This could cause damage to your vehicle.

Using the Tire Mobility Kit When
a Tire is Flat
CAUTION
ONE1081008
Detach the speed restriction label (1)
from the sealant bottle (2), and place
it in a highly visible place inside the
vehicle such as on the steering wheel to
remind the driver not to drive too fast.
CAUTION
If only the tire pressure needs to be
adjusted, refer to “How to Adjust Tire
Pressure” in this chapter.
Before using the Tire Mobility Kit, be
fully aware of the explanation on the
sealant.1. Shake the sealant bottle (2).
ONE1081031
2. Connect the filling hose (3) to the
sealant bottle (2) in the direction of (A)
and connect the sealant bottle to the
compressor (6) in the direction of (B).
3. Ensure that the compressor is
switched OFF.
4. Unscrew the valve cap from the valve
of the defective wheel and screw the
filling hose (3) of the sealant bottle
onto the valve.
ONE1081009
CAUTION
Securely install the sealant filling hose
to the valve. If not, sealant may flow
backward, possibly clogging the filling
hose.

Emergency Situations

5. Plug the compressor power cord (4)
into the vehicle power outlet.
NOTICE
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet when connecting the
power cord.
6. With the vehicle ON
(
indicator ON), switch on
the compressor and let it run for
approximately 5~7 minutes to fill the
sealant up to proper pressure. (refer
to the Tire and Wheels, chapter 2).
The inflation pressure of the tire after
filling is unimportant and will be
checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the tire
and stay away from the tire when
filling it.
CAUTION
Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if
the tire pressure is below 200 kPa (29
psi). This could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.7. Switch off the compressor.
8. Detach the hoses from the sealant
bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its storage
location in the vehicle.
OLMF064106
9. Immediately drive approximately 4~6
miles (7~10 km or, about 10min) to
evenly distribute the sealant in the
tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80
km/h). If possible, do not fall below a
speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off of the
side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.

Maintenance
9-22
WARNING
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 pressure. Tires with too
much or too little pressure wear
unevenly causing poor handling.

[Check the pressure of the
spare every time you check the
pressure of the other tires on
your vehicle.

[Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of
braking effectiveness, steering
control, or traction.

[ALWAYS replace tires with the
same size, type, construction and
tread pattern as each tire that
was originally supplied with this
vehicle. Using tires and wheels
other than the recommended
sizes could cause unusual
handling characteristics, poor
vehicle control, or negatively
affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) resulting in a
serious accident.
Tire Care
For proper maintenance, safety,
and maximum electric energy
economy, you must always maintain
recommended tire inflation
pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
OJK010021
All specifications (sizes and
pressures) can be found on a label
attached to the driver’s side center
pillar.
Recommended Cold Tire
Inflation Pressures
All tire pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tires are cold. “Cold tires” means the
vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than
one mile (1.6 km).
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire pressures
by 4 to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not
release air from warm tires to adjust
the pressure or the tires will be
under-inflated. For recommended
inflation pressure, refer to “Tire and
Wheels” section in chapter 2.
TIRES AND WHEELS

9-33
All Season Tires
HYUNDAI specifies all season
tires on some models to provide
good performance for use all year
round, including snowy and icy
road conditions. All season tires
are identified by ALL SEASON and/
or M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire
sidewall. Snow tires have better
snow traction than all season tires
and may be more appropriate in
some areas.
Summer Tires
HYUNDAI specifies summer tires on
some models to provide superior
performance on dry roads. Summer
tire performance is substantially
reduced in snow and ice. Summer
tires do not have the tire traction
rating M+S (Mud and Snow) on
the tire side wall. If you plan to
operate your vehicle in snowy or icy
conditions, Genesis Branded Vehicle
recommends the use of snow tires or
all season tires on all four wheels.
Snow Tires
If you equip your car with snow
tires, they should be the same size
and have the same load capacity as
the original tires. Snow tires should
be installed on all four wheels;
otherwise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard
tires on the tire label on the driver’s
side of the center pillar, or up to the
maximum pressure shown on the tire
sidewall, whichever is less. Do not
drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your vehicle is equipped with
snow tires.
Radial-Ply Tires
Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance
and smoother high speed ride. The
radial-ply tires used on this vehicle
are of belted construction, and are
selected to complement the ride
and handling characteristics of
your vehicle. Radial-ply tires have
the same load carrying capacity,
as bias-ply or bias belted tires of
the same size, and use the same
recommended inflation pressure.
Mixing of radial-ply tires with
bias-ply or bias belted tires is not
recommended. Any combinations of
radial-ply and bias-ply or bias belted
tires when used on the same vehicle
will seriously deteriorate vehicle
handling. The best rule to follow
is: Identical pairs of radial-ply tires
should always be used as a set for
the front tires and a set for the rear
tires.
Longer wearing tires can be more
susceptible to irregular tread wear.
It is very important to follow the tire
rotation interval in this chapter to
achieve the tread life potential of
these tires. Cuts and punctures in
radial-ply tires are repairable only in
the tread area, because of sidewall
flexing. Consult your tire dealer for
radial-ply tire repairs.
WARNING
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
