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.

of Genesis Branded products for
assistance.
If any of the equipment such as the jack,
wheel bolts, studs, or other equipment

attempt to change the tire and call for
assistance.
