Driving Your Vehicle
Tire chains (Auto sock)
ORG3EV061033
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of snow chains on
them. Therefore, the use of snow tires is
recommended instead of snow chains.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicle
equipped with aluminum wheels;
snow chains may cause damage to the
wheels. If snow chains must be used, use
AutoSock (fabric snow chain). Damage
to your vehicle caused by improper snow
chain use is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.
WARNING
The use of AutoSock (fabric snow chain)
may adversely affect vehicle handling:

[Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h)
or the chain manufacturer’s
recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.

[Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other road
hazards, which may cause the
vehicle to bounce.

[Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel
braking.
Information

[Install AutoSock (fabric snow chain)
only in pairs and on the rear tires.
It should be noted that installing
AutoSock (fabric snow chain) on the
tires will provide a greater driving
force, but will not prevent side skids.

[Do not install studded tires without
first checking local and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.

Chain Installation
When installing tire chains, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and mount
them as tightly possible. Drive slowly
(less than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with
chains installed. If you hear the chains
contacting the body or chassis, stop and
tighten them. If they still make contact,
slow down until the noise stops. Remove
the tire chains as soon as you begin
driving on cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains, park the
vehicle on level ground away from traffic.
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning
Flasher and place a triangular emergency
warning device behind the vehicle (if
available). Always place the vehicle in P
(Park), apply the parking brake and turn
off the vehicle before installing snow
chains.
NOTICE
When using AutoSock (fabric snow
chain):

[Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage your
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension,
body and wheels.

[If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to prevent contact with the
vehicle body.

[To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.3~0.6 miles
(0.5~1.0 km).
Winter Precautions
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in chapter 9. The
battery charging level can be checked by
an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products or in a service station.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen,
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes,
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorized window
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified
on the window washer container.
Window washer anti-freeze solution is
available from an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products, and most
vehicle accessory outlets. Do not use
coolant or other types of anti-freeze
solution, to prevent any damage to the
vehicle paint.

Emergency Situations
Notes on the Safe Use of the Tire
Mobility Kit

[Park your car at the side of the road
so that you can work with the Tire
Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.

[To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you’re on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake.

[Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for
sealing/inflation passenger car tires.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tire can be
sealed using the tire mobility kit.

[Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles
or any other type of tires.

[When the tire and wheel are
damaged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit
for your safety.

[Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not be
effective for tire damage larger than
approximately 16 inch (4 mm).
Contact the nearest authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products
if the tire cannot be made roadworthy
with the tire mobility kit.

[Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire
is severely damaged by driving run flat
or with insufficient air pressure.

[Do not remove any foreign objects
such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.

[Provided the car is outdoors, leave the
vehicle running. Otherwise operating
the compressor may eventually drain
the car battery.

[Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit
unattended while it is being used.

[Do not leave the compressor running
for more than 10 minutes at a time or
it may overheat.
[Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the
ambient temperature is below -22°F
(-30°C).

[In case of skin contact with the
sealant, wash the area thoroughly
with plenty of water. If the irritation
persists, seek medical attention.

[In case of eye contact with the
sealant, flush your eyes for at least 15
minutes. If the irritation persists, seek
medical attention.

[In case of swallowing the sealant,
rinse the mouth and drink plenty of
water. However, never give anything
to an unconscious person and seek
medical attention immediately.

[Long time exposure to the sealant
may cause damage to bodily tissue
such as kidney, etc.

Maintenance
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.
ORG3EV011027L
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.
