11. After driving approximately 4~6 miles (7~10 km or about 10 min), stop at a
safety location.
12. Connect the filling hose (3) of the compressor directly to the tire valve.
13. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.
14. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the recommended tire inflation.
With the ignition switched on,
proceed as follows.

- To increase the inflation pressure
: Switch on the compressor. To
check the current inflation pressure
setting, briefly switch off the
compressor.

- To reduce the inflation pressure:
Press the button (9) on the
compressor.
NOTICE
Do not let the compressor run for more
than 10 minutes, otherwise the device
will overheat and may be damaged.
Information
The pressure gauge may show higher than
actual reading when the compressor is
running. To get an accurate tire reading,
the compressor needs to be turned off.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to step 10.
Then repeat steps 11 to 14.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for
tire damage larger than approximately
0.16 in (4 mm).
Have you 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 at
least 32 psi (220 kPa). If it is not, do not
continue driving.
Call for road side service or towing.
CAUTION
Tire pressure sensor
(if equipped with TPMS)
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 dealer.
Information
hen reinstalling the repaired or replaced
tire and wheel on the vehicle, tighten the
wheel lug nut to ~ lbf ft (11~13 kgf m).

TOWING
Towing Service
OIK082022N[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.
CAUTION

[ Do not tow the vehicle with the rear
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
OIK082013N

[Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

WARNING
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.
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
2. Release the parking brake.
NOTICE
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.

If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products or a
commercial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing 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 working
condition.
CAUTION
The driver must be in the vehicle for
steering and braking operations when
the vehicle is being towed. Passengers
other than the driver must not be in the
vehicle.
Always follow these emergency towing
precautions:

[ Press the Engine Start/Stop button
to the ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.

[ Shift the gear to N (Neutral).

[ Release the parking brake.

[ Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal as you will have
reduced braking performance.

[ More steering effort will be required
because the power steering 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
frequently.

[ Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.

[ 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 ft. (5 m) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 12 in. (30 cm) width) 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.

[ Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, graveled or salt-spread roads

[ Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold weather

[ Driving in heavy dust conditions

[ Driving in heavy traffic areas

[ Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain road repeatedly

[ Using for towing or camping, and driving with loads on the roof

[ Frequently driving under high speed or rapid acceleration/deceleration.

[ Frequently driving in stop-and-go condition

[ Engine oil usage which is not recommended (Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Lower
grade spec, etc.)
If your vehicle is operated under the above conditions, you should inspect, replace
or refill more frequently than the following Normal Maintenance Schedule. After
