If you Have a Flat Tire While
Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing:
• Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately 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 Doesn't Turn
Over or Turns Over Slowly
• 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.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could cause damage to
your vehicle. See instructions for
"Jump Starting" provided in this
chapter.
Push or pull starting the vehicle
may cause the catalytic converter
to overload which can lead to
damage to the emission control
system.
If the Engine Turns Over
Normally but Doesn't Start
Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the engine still does not start, have
your vehicle checked by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
