Rear Wheel Steering (RWS) (if
equipped)
The Rear Wheel Steering system helps
increase vehicle maneuverability and
improve vehicle stability by using an
electric motor to control the steering
angle of the rear wheels according to
the driving speed of the vehicle and the
steering angle of the front wheels.
When driving at low speed, turning
radius is reduced by steering the rear
wheels in the opposite direction of the
front wheels to increase maneuverability.
At high speeds, the rear wheels are
steered in the same direction as the front
wheels to improve stability when turning
and changing direction.
NOTICE
When using snow chains, be sure to
turn off the Rear Wheel Steering by
selecting 'Snow Chains Installed' from
the Settings menu in the infotainment
system to protect the vehicle.
After removing the snow chain,
deselect 'Snow Chains Installed' from
the Settings menu in the infotainment
system. If it is not deselected, Rear
Wheel Steering will not operate. For
more details on setting the menu, refer
to “Winter Tire” section in Chapter 6.
CAUTION
If there is a problem with the Rear
Wheel Steering system, a warning light
and warning message appears on the
instrument cluster and Rear Wheel
Steering system stops working. If the
warning light and warning message are
still displayed even when the vehicle
is stopped and the engine is restarted,
have the vehicle checked by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
If the Rear Wheel Steering system
operation is stopped while the rear
wheels are not straight, the vehicle may
lean to one side while driving.

cluster, the following conditions are

Rear Wheel Steering system performs
diagnostics and operates normally after
