the wheel bolts in the order shown.
Double-check each wheel bolts until
they are tight. After changing tires,
have an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products tighten the wheel
bolts to their proper torque as soon
as possible. The wheel bolt should
be tightened to 101~116 lbf·ft (14~16
kgf·m).
If you have a tire gauge, check the
tire pressure (see “Tires and Wheels”
section in chapter 2 for tire pressure
instructions.). If the pressure is lower or
higher than recommended, drive slowly
to the nearest service station and adjust
it to the recommended pressure. Always
reinstall the valve cap after checking
or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap
is not replaced, air may leak from the
tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another
and install it as soon as possible. After
changing tires, secure the flat tire and
return the jack and tools to their proper
storage locations.

Emergency Situations
When driving with the compact spare tire
mounted to your vehicle:
• Check the tire pressure after installing
the compact spare tire. The compact
spare tire should be inflated to 60 psi
(420 kPa).
• Do not take this vehicle through
an automatic car wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use the compact spare tire on
any other vehicle because this tire
has been designed especially for your
vehicle.
• The compact spare tire’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tire. Inspect
your compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on
the same wheel.
• Do not use more than one compact
spare tire at a time.
• Do not tow a trailer while the compact
spare tire is installed.
Information
When the original tire and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
wheel bolt torque must be set correctly.
The correct wheel bolt tightening torque is
101~116 lbf·ft (14~16 kgf·m).
NOTICE
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tire and your vehicle:
• Drive slowly enough for the road
conditions to avoid all hazards, such
as a potholes or debris.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately
1 in. (25 mm).
• Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly.
• Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.
• Do not suddenly accelerate or
decelerate 0 ~ 25 mph (0 ~ 40 km/h)
in any driving mode. It may cause
leakage of transfer oil.

The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary fix to
the tire and the tire should be inspected
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products or the equivalent
approved for your vehicle as soon as
possible.
CAUTION
When two or more tires are flat, do not
use the tire mobility kit because the
sealant provided with the Tire Mobility
Kit must be used for only one flat tire.
WARNING
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair
punctures in the tire walls. This can
result in an accident due to tire failure.
WARNING
Have your tire repaired as soon as
possible. The tire may lose air pressure
at any time after inflating with the Tire
Mobility Kit.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay mobile
even after experiencing a tire puncture.
The compressor and sealing compound
system effectively and comfortably seals
most punctures in a passenger vehicle
tire caused by nails or similar objects and
reinflates the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is properly
sealed you can drive cautiously on the
tire (distance up to 120 miles (200 km))
at a max. speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) in
order to reach a service station or tire
dealer for the tire replacement.
It is possible that some tires, especially
with larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may adversely
affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid abrupt
steering or other driving maneuvers,
especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded
or if a trailer is in use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tire repair
method and is to be used for one tire
only.
This instruction shows you step by step
how to temporarily seal the puncture
simply and reliably.
Read the section “Notes on the safe use
of the Tire Mobility Kit”.
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tire is severely
damaged by driving run flat or with
insufficient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the
tread region of the tire can be sealed
using the TMK.

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.
