What to do in an emergency
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the studs and lug nuts. Make
certain during tire changing that
the same nuts that were removed
are reinstalled. If you have to
replace your lug nuts make sure
they have metric threads to avoid
damaging the studs and ensure
the wheel is properly secured to
the hub. Consult an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded prod-
ucts for assistance.
If any of the equipment such as the
jack, lug nuts, studs, or other equip-
ment is damaged or in poor condi-
tion, do not attempt to change the
tire and call for assistance.
Use of compact spare tires
