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 Engine 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 ENGINE WILL NOT
START
• Be sure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)
or P (Park). The engine starts only
when the gear is in N (Neutral) or P
(Park).
• Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
See instructions for “Jump Starting”
provided in this chapter.
• Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the vehicle still does not start, call an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products for assistance.
NOTICE
Push or pull starting the vehicle may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload which can lead to damage to
the emission control system.

Emergency Situations
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Follow the jump starting
procedure in this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehicle. If in
doubt about how to properly jump start
your vehicle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service technician or
towing service do it for you.
WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
to you or bystanders, always follow
these precautions when working near
or handling the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection designed
to protect the eyes from acid
splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Hydrogen is always present
in battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of
children.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is highly corrosive. Do
not allow acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.If acid gets into your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate medical
attention. If acid gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the area. If you feel
pain or a burning sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
• When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak. Lift with a
battery carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
• Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle if your battery is frozen.
• NEVER attempt to recharge the
battery when the vehicle’s battery
cables are connected to the battery.
• The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage.
NEVER touch these components
with the engine running or when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position.

Jump Starting Procedure
Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the luggage
compartment, but when you jump start
your vehicle, use the jumper terminal in
the engine compartment.
1. Position the vehicles close enough
that the jumper cables will reach, but
do not allow the vehicles to touch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the
engine compartment at all times, even
when the vehicles are turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such as
radios, lights, air conditioning, etc.
Put the vehicles in P (Park) and set the
parking brake. Turn both vehicles OFF.
4. Open the engine hood.

6. Connect the jumper cables in
the exact sequence shown in the
illustration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+) jumper
terminal of your vehicle M.
7. Connect the other end of the jumper
cable to the red, positive (+) battery/
jumper terminal of the assisting
vehicle N.
8. Connect the second jumper cable to
the black, negative (-) battery/jumper
terminal of the assisting vehicle O.
9. Connect the other end of the second
jumper cable to the black, negative (-)
chassis ground of your vehicle P.
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery or jumper terminals or the
correct ground. Do not lean over the
battery when making connections.
WARNING
Do not connect the jumper cable to
the negative (-) jumper terminal of the
discharged battery. A spark could cause
the battery to explode and lead to a
personal injury or vehicle damage.

Emergency Situations
10. Start the engine of the assisting
vehicle and let it run at approximately
2,000 RPM for a few minutes. Then
start your vehicle.
11. Keep your vehicle operating for at
least 30 minutes at idle or driving to
assure your battery receives enough
charge to be able to start on its
own after the vehicle is shut off. A
completely discharged battery may
require as long as 60 minutes runtime
to fully recharge it. If the vehicle is run
for less, the vehicle may not restart.
If your vehicle will not start after a few
attempts, it probably requires service.
In this event please seek qualified
assistance. If the cause of your battery
discharging is not apparent, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.
Disconnect the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order you connected them:
1. Disconnect the jumper cable from the
black, negative (-) chassis ground of
your vehicle P.
2. Disconnect the other end of the
jumper cable from the black, negative
(-) battery/chassis ground of the
assisting vehicle O.
3. Disconnect the second jumper cable
from the red, positive (+) battery/
jumper terminal of the assisting
vehicle N.
4. Disconnect the other end of the
jumper cable from the red, positive (+)
jumper terminal of your vehicle M.
Information
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health. Dispose of the battery
according to your local law(s) or
regulations.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle:
• Only use a 12-volt power supply
(battery or jumper system) to jump
start your vehicle.
• Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle by push-starting.
WARNING
While jump starting your vehicle, avoid
the positive (+) and negative (-) cables
to come in contact. A spark could cause
personal injury.
WARNING
48 V lithium battery (if equipped)
Do not jump start another vehicle.
The 48 V lithium polymer type battery
installed in your vehicle will be
damaged.

Notes On the Safe Use of the Tire
Mobility Kit
• Park your vehicle 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 vehicle
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 0.16 in. (4 mm).
Please contact the nearest 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 vehicle is outdoors,
leave the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the vehicle 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.
