tire type GENESIS G70 2019 Owner's Manual

2-2
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout
this section, and throughout this man-
ual. The safety precautions in this sec-
tion are among the most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of accidents. Air bags are
designed to supplement seat belts,
not replace them. So even though
your vehicle is equipped with air bags,
ALWAYS make sure you and your
passengers wear your seat belts, and
wear them properly.
Restrain All Children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants
and small children should be
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint. Larger children should use
a booster seat with the lap/shoulder
belt until they can use the seat belt
properly without a booster seat.
Air Bag Hazards
While air bags can save lives, they can
also cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained. Infants,
young children, and shorter adults are
at the greatest risk of being injured by
an inflating air bag. Follow all instruc-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers. Safety
should be the first concern when
behind the wheel and drivers need to
be aware of the wide array of potential
distractions, such as drowsiness,
reaching for objects, eating, personal
grooming, other passengers, and
using cellular phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel to
focus on activities other than driving. To
reduce your risk of distraction or get-
ting into an accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices(i.e., MP3 players, phones, naviga-
tion units, etc.) when your vehicle is
parked or safely stopped. ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed by laws and when conditions
permit safe use. NEVER text or
email while driving. Most states have
laws prohibiting drivers from texting.
Some states and cities also prohibit
drivers from using handheld phones.
NEVER let the use of a mobile device distract you from driving. You
have a responsibility to your passen-
gers and others on the road to
always drive safely, with your hands
on the wheel as well as your eyes
and attention on the road.
Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally,
the higher the speed, the greater the
risk, but serious injuries can also occur
at lower speeds. Never drive faster than
is safe for current conditions, regard-
less of the maximum speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle in Safe
Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical
failure can be extremely hazardous. To
reduce the possibility of such prob-
lems, check your tire pressures and
condition frequently, and perform all
regularly scheduled maintenance.

Driving your vehicle
Information
• When using Snow Tires, mountthem on all four wheels.
• When using tire chains, install them on all four tires. However, if you are
in a situation to use only two tire
chains, install them on the rear tires.
In this case, drive a short distance to
prevent damage to the AWD system.
• If tire chains must be used, use AutoSock (fabric snow chain) and
install the tire chain after reviewing
the instructions provided with the
tire chains.
For more information on Snow Tires
and Tire Chains, refer to "Winter
Driving" in this chapter.
Driving up or down hills
Driving uphill - Before starting off, check if it ispossible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
Driving downhill - Do not change gear while drivingdownhill. Select gear before driv-
ing downhill.
- Drive slowly and select Manual Shift Mode to provide engine
braking while driving downhill.
- Drive straight as possible.
Emergency precautions
Tires
When replacing the tires, be sure to
equip all four tires with the same
size, type, tread, brand and load-car-
rying capacity.
In an emergency situation, a com-
pact spare tire may be used. But, do
not use the compact spare tire con-
tinuously. Repair or replace the origi-
nal tire as soon as possible to avoid
failure of the differential or AWD sys-
tem.
i
Exercise extreme caution driv-
ing up or down steep hills. The
vehicle may flip depending on
the grade, terrain and water/
mud conditions.
WARNING
Do not use tire and wheel with
different size and type from the
one originally installed on your
vehicle. It can affect the safety
and performance of your vehi-
cle, which could lead to steering
failure or rollover causing seri-
ous injury.
WARNING

Tire size mismatch. Check all tire
sizes.
If your vehicle is equipped with differ-
ent tires (size, type, etc.) on the front
and rear, the message will appear. To
use the AWD system, equip the vehi-
cle with the same tires on the front
and rear.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with all
wheels off the ground, either on a
flatbed tow truck or using doilies.
For more details, refer to "Towing"
in chapter 6.
Vehicle inspection
If the vehicle needs to be operatedon a vehicle lift do not attempt to
stop any of the four wheels for turn-
ing. This could damage the sys-
tem.
Never engage the parking brake while running the engine on a car
lift. This may damage the AWD
system.
Dynamometer testing
An AWD vehicle must be tested on a
special four wheel chassis dynamome-
ter.
Never start or run the engine
while an AWD vehicle is raised
on a jack. The vehicle can slip or
roll off of a jack causing serious
injury or death to you or those
nearby.

Driving your vehicle
The Driver Attention Warning sys-
tem utilizes the camera sensor on
the front windshield for its opera-
tion. To keep the camera sensor in
the best condition, you should
observe the followings:
Do not disassemble the camera temporarily to tint the window or
to attach any types of coatings
and accessories. If you disas-
semble a camera and assemble
it again, take your vehicle to an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products and have the
system checked for calibration.
NEVER install any accessories or stickers on the front wind-
shield, nor tint the front wind-
shield.
NEVER locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may cause a malfunc-
tion of the Driver Attention Alert
(DAW) system.
Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out of water. NEVER arbitrarily disassemble
the camera assembly, nor apply
any impact on the camera
assembly.
NOTICE
The Driver Attention Warning
(DAW) system may not properly
operate with limited alerting in
the following situations:
The lane detection perform-
ance is limited. (For more
details, refer to "Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA) system" in this
chapter.)
The vehicle is violently driven
or is abruptly turned for obsta-
cle avoidance (e.g. construc-
tion area, other vehicles, fallen
objects, bumpy road).
Forward drivability of the vehi-
cle is severely undermined
(possibly due to wide variation
in tire pressures, uneven tire
wear-out, toe-in/toe-out align-
ment).
The vehicle drives on a curvy
road.
The vehicle drives on a bumpy
road.
The vehicle drives through a
windy area.
The vehicle is controlled by the
following driving assist sys-
tems:
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)system
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system
- Smart Cruise Control (SCC) systemCAUTION
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
the Driver Attention Warning
(DAW) system warning sounds.

Summer tires
Summer tires are used to maxi-mize the driving performance on
dry roads.
If the temperature is below 44°F (7°C) or you are driving on snowy
or icy roads, the summer tires lose
their brake performance and trac-
tion as the tire grip weakens signif-
icantly.
If the temperature is below 44°F (7°C) or you are driving on snowy
or icy roads, mount snow tires or
all-season tires of the same size
with your vehicle's standard tire for
safe driving. Both snow and all-
season tires have M+S markings.
When using the M+S tires, use tires with the same tread produced
by the same manufacturer for safe
driving.
When driving with the M+S tires with the lower maximum allowable
speed than that of the vehicle's
standard summer tire, be careful
not to exceed the speed allowed
for the M+S tires.
Tire chains
Since the sidewalls on some radial
tires are thinner than other types of
tires, they may be damaged by
mounting certain types of tire chains
on them. Do not mount tire chains on
vehicles equipped with aluminum
wheels; if unavoidable use
AutoSock
®(fabric snow chain or sim-
ilar). Install the tire chain after review-
ing the instructions provided with the
tire chains. Damage to your vehicle
caused by improper tire chain use is
not covered by your vehicle manu-
facturer’s warranty. AutoSock
®is a Registered trade-
mark of AutoSock. The use of AutoSock
®(fabric
snow chain) may adversely
affect vehicle handling:
Drive less than 20 mph (30
km/h) or the chain manufac-
turer'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.

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".
Notes on the safe use of theTire 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 park-
ing 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 mobil-
ity kit.
Do not use on motorcycles, bicy- cles or any other type of tires. When the tire and wheel are dam-
aged, 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 0.24 inch (6
mm).
Please contact the nearest author-
ized 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 flat tire or an under-inflated tire is
further severely damaged by being
continuously driven.
Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.
Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine 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 run- ning 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 any-
thing to an unconscious person
and seek medical attention imme-
diately.
Long time exposure to the sealant may cause damage to bodily tissue
such as kidney, etc.
