Introduction / Starting Your Electric Vehicle
ś This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your vehicle could affect its
performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and
emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from any modification may
not be covered under warranty.
ś If you use unauthorized electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to operate
abnormally, wire damage, battery discharge and fire. For your safety, do not use
unauthorized electronic devices.
NOTICE
Some vehicle interior sounds (including welcome sound, navigation alerts, or warning

these components with anything other than the genuine Genesis factory parts. Any
unauthorized product may cause a malfunction of the vehicle interior sounds that may
affect the intended operation of the vehicle.
VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
ś How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
ś Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/ fastened;
ś How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
ś How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (for example, name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with
the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Electric vehicles are driven using a
battery and an electric motor. While
general vehicles use an internal
combustion engine and gasoline as fuel,
electric vehicles use electrical energy
that is charged inside the high voltage
battery. As a result, electric vehicles are
eco-friendly in that they do not require
fuel and do not emit exhaust gases.
Characteristics of Your Electric
Vehicles
ś Electric vehicles are driven using the
electrical energy that is charged inside
the high voltage battery. This method
prevents air pollution since fuel, like
gasoline, is not required, negating the
emission of exhaust gases.
ś A high performance electric motor is
used in the vehicle as well. Compared
to standard, internal combustion
engine vehicles, engine noise and
vibrations are much more minimal
when driving.
ś When decelerating or driving
downhill, regenerative braking is
utilized to charge the high voltage
battery. This minimizes energy loss
and increases the distance to empty.
ś When the battery charge is not
sufficient, AC charge, DC charge and
trickle charge are available. (Refer to
the “Charging Your Electric Vehicle”
section in this chapter for details.)
Information
What does regenerative braking do?
It uses an electric motor when
decelerating and braking and transforms
kinetic energy to electrical energy in
order to charge the high voltage battery.
(Torque is applied in the opposite
direction when decelerating to generate
braking force and electric energy.)
Battery information
ś High voltage battery (high-capacity):
Drives the motor and operates the air-
conditioner. It can be charged via an
AC charger, DC charger, or portable
charger.
ś 12 V auxiliary battery: Operates all
lamps, wipers, and audio system.
The 12 V battery charge can also
be maintained by the high voltage
battery at parked condition at certain
conditions.
Main components of your electric
vehicle
ś On-Board Charger (OBC): A device
that charges the high voltage battery
by converting AC power of the power
grid to DC power.
ś Inverter: Transforms direct current
into alternating current to supply
power to the motor, and transforms
alternating current into direct current
to charge the high voltage battery.
ś Low Voltage DC-DC Converter (LDC):
Transforms power from the high
voltage battery to low voltage (12 V) to
supply power to the vehicle (DC-DC).
ś Vehicle Control Unit (VCU): Control
the various controls on the vehicle.
ś Motor: Uses electrical energy stored
inside the high voltage battery to drive
the vehicle (functions like an engine in
a standard vehicle).
ś Gear: Delivers rotational force of
the motor to the tires at appropriate
speeds and torque.
ś High voltage battery (Lithium-ion
battery): Stores and supplies power
necessary for the electric vehicle
to operate (12 V auxiliary battery
provides power to the vehicle features
such as lights and wipers).
UNDERSTANDING YOUR ELECTRIC VEHICLE
1-8
Introduction / Starting Your Electric Vehicle
WARNING
ś Do not intentionally remove or
disassemble high voltage components
and high voltage battery connectors
and wires. Also, be careful not to
damage high voltage components and
the high voltage battery. It may cause
serious injury and significantly impact
the performance and durability of the
vehicle.
ś When inspection and maintenance is
required for high voltage components
and the high voltage battery, contact
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
High voltage battery warmer system
The high voltage battery warmer system
prevents reduction of battery output
when battery temperature is low. If the
charging connector is connected, the
warmer system automatically operates
according to the battery temperature.
Charging time may shorten compare
to vehicles without the high voltage
battery warmer system. However,
electricity charge may increase because
of high voltage battery warmer system
operation.
Information
The high voltage battery warmer system
operates when the charging connector
is connected to the vehicle. However,
the high voltage warmer system may not
operate when battery temperature drops
below -31 °F (-35 °C).
Precautions when Using the
High Voltage Battery
ś Keep the gauge of the high voltage
battery from going below L (Low).
Storing the vehicle while the
battery level is low for a long time
may damage the battery or reduce
the battery’s capacity, resulting in
needing a battery replacement.
ś If a collision occurs, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products to check
the battery connection status.
ś Using the V2L function may reduce
the driving distance due to the use
of high voltage battery energy, and
repeated use of the V2L function may
decrease high voltage battery life.
ś Frequent use of DC charging may
impact battery life.
ś The high voltage battery level may
reduce naturally even if the vehicle is
not driven.
ś Storing the vehicle in temperatures
that are too hot or cold may degrade
the battery performance.
ś The distance to empty or power
output may differ depending on
the driving conditions, such as the
outside temperature. Driving at high
speeds or uphill may increase battery
consumption, resulting in reducing
the distance to empty.

high voltage battery, the distance to
empty may reduce. Maintain proper
temperature when using the air
conditioner or heater.
ś Natural degradation may occur with
the high voltage battery depending
on the number of years the vehicle is
used.
ś If you do not use the vehicle for a long
time, charge the high voltage battery
once every three months to prevent
it from discharging. When the battery
level is low, immediately charge the
vehicle.
ś Using AC charging as much as
possible can help keep the battery in
optimal condition. Fully charging the
battery when it is 20 % or lower helps
keep the battery in optimal condition.
(Charging once a month or more is
recommended.)
ś The charging level value displayed on
the instrument cluster may decrease
according to the charging conditions
(charger status, outside temperature,
battery temperature, etc.). For longer
battery life and safety, after a certain
charging level is reached, the charging
current is gradually lowered to fully
charge the battery.

Checking Electric Vehicle Driving
Information
Distance to empty
OJKEV042007N
OJKEV042073N
The distance to empty is the estimated
distance the vehicle can be driven with
the remaining electric energy.
When destination is not set
ś On a
verage, a vehicle can drive about
236 miles (380 km).
ś Under certain circumstances where
the air conditioner/heater is ON,
the distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance
range from 186 miles (300 km).
When using the heater during cold
weather or driving at high speed, the
high voltage battery consumes a lot
more electricity. This may reduce the
distance to empty significantly.
1-51
01
ś After ‘0 mile’ has been displayed, the
vehicle may stop soon. Immediately
drive to a safe place and stop your
vehicle.
ś Distance to empty that is displayed
on the instrument cluster after
completing a recharge may vary
significantly depending on previous
operating patterns.
When previous driving patterns
include high speed driving, resulting
in the high voltage battery using more
electricity than usual, the estimated
distance to empty is reduced. When
the high voltage battery uses little
electricity in ECO mode, the estimated
distance to empty increases.
ś Distance to empty may depend on
many factors such as the charge
amount of the high voltage battery,
weather, temperature, durability of
the battery, geographical features,
and driving style. When the ambient
temperature is low such as in winter,
the actual driving distance may
reduce due to degradation of the
battery.
ś Natural degradation may occur with
the high voltage battery depending
on the number of years the vehicle is
used. This may reduce the distance to
empty.
When destination is set
When the destination is set, the distance
t
o emp
ty may change. The distance
to empty is recalculated using the
information of the destination. However,
the distance to empty may vary
significantly based on traffic conditions,
driving habits, and condition of the
vehicle.
Tips for improving driving range
ś If you operate the air conditioner /
heater too much, the driving battery
uses too much electricity. This
may reduce the distance to empty.
Therefore, it is recommended that
you set the cabin temperature to
72 °F (22 °C) AUTO. This setting has
been certified by various assessment
tests to maintain optimal energy
consumption rates while keeping the
temperature fresh.
Turn OFF the heater and air
conditioner if you do not need them.
ś When the heater or air conditioning
system is on, the energy consumption
is reduced if recirculation mode is
selected instead of selecting the fresh
mode. The fresh mode requires large
amount of energy consumption as
the outside air has to be re-heated or
cooled.
ś When using the heater or air
conditioning system, use the DRIVER
ONLY or scheduled air conditioner/
heater function.
ś Depress and hold the accelerator
pedal to maintain speed and drive
economically.
ś Gradually depress and release the
accelerator pedal when accelerating
or decelerating.
ś Always maintain specified tire
pressures.
ś Do not use unnecessary electrical
components while driving.
ś Do not load unnecessary items in the
vehicle.
ś Do not mount parts that may increase
air resistance.

Introduction / Starting Your Electric Vehicle
If an Accident Occurs
WARNING
OJKEVQ011046
ś When a vehicle accident occurs,
move the vehicle to a safe place, turn
OFF the vehicle and disconnect the
high voltage cut-off switch from the
auxiliary battery (12 V) to prevent high
voltage electricity from flowing.
ś If electric wires are exposed from
inside or outside the vehicle, do not
touch the wires.
Also, do not touch the high voltage
electric wire (orange), connector, and
all electric components and devices.
This may cause electric shock and
lead to injuries.
WARNING
ś When a vehicle accident occurs and
the high voltage battery is damaged,
harmful gas and electrolytes may leak.
Be careful not to touch the leaked
liquid.
ś When you suspect leakage of
inflammable gas and other harmful
gases, open the windows and
evacuate to a safe location. If any
leaked fluid comes in contact with
your eyes or skin, immediately clean
the affected area thoroughly with
tap water or saline solution and have
doctors inspect it as soon as possible.
WARNING
ś If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire
extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant
for electrical fires. If it is impossible
to extinguish the fire in the early
stage, maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle and immediately call your
local fire emergency responders. Also,
advise them that an electric vehicle is
involved.
ś If the fire spreads to the high voltage
battery, large amount of water is
needed to put out the fire. Using small
amount of water or fire extinguishers
not meant for electrical fires could
cause serious injury or death from
electrical shocks.
WARNING
ś If you cannot put out the fire
immediately, the high voltage battery
may explode. Evacuate to a safe place
and do not let other people approach
the site.
Contact the fire department and
notify them of an electric vehicle fire.
ś If the vehicle is flooded with water,
immediately turn off the vehicle and
evacuate to a safe place. Contact
the fire department or an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
COUNTERMEASURES FOR ACCIDENTS OR FIRE
1-61
01
WARNING
OJKEV081016L
[1]: Dollies
ś If towing is required, it must be towed
with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground. Towing with the wheels on
the ground can damage the vehicle’s
motor components.
ś When a vehicle fire occurs because of
the high voltage battery, there is a risk
of a secondary fire. Contact the fire
department when towing the vehicle.
Other Precautions for Electric
Vehicle
ś When you paint or apply heat
treatment to the vehicle as a result of
an accident, the performance of the
high voltage battery can be reduced.
ś If heat treatment is required, contact
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
ś When you clean the motor
compartment, do not use high
pressure water. This may cause an
electric shock due to a discharge in
high voltage electricity, or damage the
vehicle’s electric system.
ś Use or install genuine Genesis part or
the equivalent (of the genuine part)
specified for your vehicle.
Turning off the High Voltage
Battery
In case disconnecting the high
voltage cut-off switch is required in
an emergency, follow the instructions

Seats and Safety System
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual.
The safety precautions in this section are
among the most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all
types of accidents. Airbags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not replace
them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with airbags, 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 System.
Larger children should use a booster
seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they
can use the seat belt properly without a
booster seat.
Airbag Hazards
While airbags 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 short adults are at
the greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating airbag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be
the primary 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 mobile 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 and an
accident:
ś ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(for example, MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) when your
vehicle is parked or safely stopped.
ś ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed by laws and 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.
ś NEVER let the use of a mobile device
distract you from driving. You have a
responsibility to your passengers 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, regardless 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 problems,
check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regularly
scheduled maintenance.

Safety Precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting
in a safe, comfortable position plays an
important role in driver and passenger
safety, together with seat belts and
airbags, in an accident.
WARNING
Do not use a cushion that reduces
friction between the seat and the
passenger. The passenger’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of the seat
belt during an accident or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could
result because the seat belt cannot
operate properly.
Airbags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating airbag.
Sitting too close to an airbag greatly
increases the risk of injury in the event
the airbag inflates.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends
that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25
cm) between the center of the steering
wheel and their chest.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating airbag, take the
following precautions:
ś Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the
rear as possible maintaining the ability
to control the vehicle.
ś Adjust the front passenger seat as far
to the rear as possible.
ś Hold the steering wheel by the rim
with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3
o’clock positions to minimize the risk
of injuries to your hands and arms.
ś NEVER place anything or anyone
between you and the airbag.
ś Do not allow the front passenger to
place feet or legs on the dashboard to
minimize the risk of leg injuries.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip. At all times, passengers
should sit upright and be properly
restrained. Infants and small children
must be restrained in appropriate Child
Restraint Systems. Children who have
outgrown a booster seat and adults must
be restrained using the seat belts.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat belt:
ś NEVER use one seat belt for more
than one occupant.
ś Always position the seatback upright
with the lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
ś NEVER allow children or small infants
to ride on a passenger’s lap.
ś Do not route the seat belt across your
neck, across sharp edges, or reroute
the shoulder strap away from your
body.
ś Do not allow the seat belt to become
caught or jammed.

Front Seats
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily control
the steering wheel, foot pedals and
controls on the instrument panel.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat:
ś NEVER attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. The
seat could respond with unexpected
movement and may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
ś Do not place anything under the front
seats. Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with the
operation of the foot pedals, causing
an accident.
ś Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position and proper
locking of the seatback.
ś Do not place a cigarette lighter on the
floor or seat. When you operate the
seat, gas may exit out of the lighter
causing a fire.
ś Use extreme caution when picking up
small objects trapped under the seats
or between the seat and the center
console. Your hands might be cut or
injured by the sharp edges of the seat
mechanism.
ś If there are occupants in the rear
seats, be careful while adjusting the
front seat position.
ś Make sure that the seat is locked in
place after the adjustment. If not,
the seat might move unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
CAUTION
To prevent injury:
ś Do not adjust your seat while wearing
your seat belt. Moving the seat
cushion forward may cause strong
pressure on your abdomen.
ś Do not allow your hands or fingers to
get caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
WARNING
NEVER allow children in the vehicle
unattended. The power seats are
operable when the vehicle is turned off.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seats:
ś Always stop adjusting the seats when
the seat has been adjusted as far
forward or rearward as possible.
ś Do not adjust the seats longer than
necessary when the vehicle is turned
off. This may result in unnecessary
battery drain.
ś Do not operate two or more seats at
the same time. This may result in an
electrical malfunction.

Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts and
airbags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seatback.
WARNING
NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback increases
your chance of serious or fatal injuries in
the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Driver and passengers should always
sit well back in their seats with the
seatbacks upright and should be belted
properly.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. When
the seatback is reclined, the shoulder
belt cannot do its job because it will not
be snug against your chest. Instead,
it will be in front of you. During an
accident, you could be thrown into the
seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or the
passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder
belt.

WARNING
Take the following precautions:
ś Adjusting the seats
- NEVER attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. The
seat may suddenly move and may
injure the passenger.
- Make sure that the seat is locked in
place after the adjustment. If not,
the seat might move unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
ś Folding the seats
- Do not fold the seatback when
the seat is occupied (for example,
passenger, pets or luggage). It
may injure the passenger or pet, or
damage the luggage.
- Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the vehicle is moving. This is
not a proper seating position and
no seat belts are available for use.
This could result in serious injury
or death in case of an accident or
sudden stop.
- Objects carried on the folded down
seatback should not extend higher
than the top of the front seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide
forward and cause injury or damage
during sudden stops.
- When returning the rear seatback
from a folded to an upright position,
hold the seatback and return it
slowly. Ensure that the seatback is
completely locked into its upright
position by pushing on the top of
the seatback. In an accident or
sudden stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move forward
with great force and enter the
passenger compartment, which
could result in serious injury or
death.
ś Loading cargo
- Make sure the vehicle is off, the
gear shifted to P (Park), and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move
if the shift button or shift dial is
inadvertently pressed or rotated to
another position.
- When cargo is loaded through the
rear passenger seats, ensure the
cargo is properly secured to prevent
it from moving while driving.
ś Do not place objects in the rear seats,
since they cannot be properly secured
and may hit vehicle occupants in a
collision causing serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
Do not allow your hands or fingers to get
caught in the seat mechanisms while
adjusting the seats.

SEAT BELTS
This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describes
some of the things not to do when using
seat belts.
Seat Belt Safety Precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make
sure all passengers have fastened their
seat belts before starting any trip.
Airbags are designed to supplement the
seat belt as an additional safety device,
but they are not a substitute. Most states
require all occupants of a vehicle to wear
seat belts.
WARNING
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehicle is
moving. Take the following precautions
when adjusting and wearing seat belts:
ś Children under the age of 13 should be
properly restrained in the rear seats.
ś Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat, unless the
airbag is deactivated. If a child
is seated in the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as
possible and the child must always be
restrained in the seat properly.
ś NEVER allow an infant or child to be
carried on an occupant’s lap.
ś NEVER ride with the seatback reclined
when the vehicle is moving.
ś Do not allow children to share a seat
or seat belt.
ś Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back.
ś Never wear a seat belt over fragile
objects. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt can damage it.
ś Do not use the seat belt if it is twisted.
A twisted seat belt will not protect you
properly in an accident.
ś Do not use a seat belt if the webbing
or hardware is damaged.
ś Do not latch the seat belt into the
buckles of other seats.
ś NEVER unfasten the seat belt while
driving. This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
ś Make sure there is nothing in the
buckle interfering with the seat
belt latch mechanism, because any
materials in the buckle can cause the
seat belt not to be fastened securely.
ś No modifications or additions should
be made by the user which will either
prevent the seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove slack, or
prevent the seat belt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack.
WARNING
Damaged seat belts and seat belt
assemblies will not operate properly.
Always replace:
ś Frayed, contaminated, or damaged
webbing.
ś Damaged hardware.

Additional Seat Belt Safety
Precautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used
during pregnancy. The best way to
protect your unborn child is to protect
yourself by always wearing the seat belt.
Pregnant women should always wear
a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the
shoulder belt across your chest, routed
between your breasts and away from
your neck. Place the lap belt below your
belly so that it fits SNUGLY across your
hips and pelvic bone, under the rounded
part of the belly.
WARNING
ś Pregnant woman are more vulnerable
to any impacts on the abdomen
during an abrupt stop or accident. If
you are in an accident while pregnant,
consult your doctor.
ś To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to an unborn child during an
accident, pregnant women should
NEVER place the lap portion of the
seat belt above or over the area of the
abdomen where the unborn child is
located.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
All 50 states have child restraint laws
which requir
e children to travel in
approved child restraint devices,
including booster seats. The age at
which seat belts can be used instead
of child restraints differs among states,
so you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your state, and where
you are travelling. Infant and child
restraints must be properly placed
and installed in a rear seat. For more
information refer to the “Child Restraint
Systems” section in this chapter.
WARNING
ALWAYS properly restrain infants and
small children in a Child Restraint System
appropriate for the child’s height and
weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to a child and other passengers,
NEVER hold a child in your lap or arms
when the vehicle is moving. The violent
forces created during an accident will
tear the child from your arms and throw
the child against the interior of the
vehicle.
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a child restraint system that meets
the requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying
any child restraint system, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
FMVSS 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child’s height and
weight. Check the label on the child
restraint for this information. Refer to the
“Child Restraint Systems” section in this
chapter.
3-36
Seats and Safety System
Larger children
Children under age 13 who are too large
for a boos
ter seat should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. A seat belt should lie
across the upper thighs and be snug
across the shoulder and chest to
restrain the child safely. Check belt fit
periodically. A child’s squirming could
put the belt out of position. In the event
of an accident, children are afforded the
best safety restrained by a proper Child
Restraint System in the rear seats.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child must
be securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need to
be returned to an appropriate booster
seat in the rear seat.
WARNING
ś Always make sure larger children’s
seat belts are worn and properly
adjusted.
ś NEVER allow the shoulder belt to
contact the child’s neck or face.
ś Do not allow more than one child to
use a single seat belt.
Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific
recommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts and/
or airbags) is greatly reduced by reclining
your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
During an accident, you could be thrown
into the seat belt, causing neck or other
injuries.
The more the seat back is reclined, the
greater the chance for the passenger’s
hips to slide under the lap belt or the
passenger’s neck to strike the shoulder
belt.
WARNING
ś NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.
ś Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a collision
or sudden stop.
ś Driver and passengers should always
sit well back in their seats with the
seatbacks upright and should be
belted properly.

Care of Seat Belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addition,
care should be taken to assure that seat
belts and belt hardware are not damaged
by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of any
kind. Any damaged parts should be
replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an accident.
This should be done even if no damage is
visible. Consult an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.

Our Recommendation: Children
Always In the Rear
WARNING
Always properly restrain children in the
rear seats of the vehicle.
Children of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat. A child riding
in the front passenger seat can be
forcefully struck by an inflating airbag
resulting in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Children under age 13 must always
ride in the rear seats and must always
be properly restrained to minimize the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According
to accident statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear
seats than in the front seat. Even with
airbags, children can be seriously
injured or killed. Children too large for
a child restraint must use the seat belts
provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws
which require children to travel in
approved child restraint devices. The
laws governing the age or height/weight
restrictions at which seat belts can be
used instead of child restraints differs
among states, so you should be aware of
the specific requirements in your state,
and where you are travelling.
Child restraint systems must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213).
Child restraint systems are generally
designed to be secured in a vehicle seat
by lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt,
or by a LATCH system in the rear seats of
the vehicle.
Child restraint system (CRS)
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rear-facing
or forward-facing CRS that has first
been properly secured to the rear seat
of the vehicle. Read and comply with
the instructions for installation and use
provided by the manufacturer of the
child restraint.
WARNING
An improperly secured child restraint can
increase the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH in an accident. Always take the
following precautions when using a child
restraint system:
ś NEVER install a child or infant restraint
in the front passenger’s seat.
ś Always properly secure the child
restraint to a rear seat of the vehicle.
ś Always follow the child restraint
system manufacturer’s instructions for
installation and use.
ś Always properly restrain your child in
the child restraint.
ś If the vehicle head restraint prevents
proper installation of a child seat (as
described in the child restraint system
manual), the head restraint of the
respective seating position shall be
readjusted or entirely removed.
ś Do not use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that “hooks” over a
seatback, it may not provide adequate
protection in an accident.
ś After an accident, have retailer of
Genesis Branded products check
the child restraint system, seat belts,
tether anchors and lower anchors.

03
Selecting a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
When selecting a Child Restraint System
for your child, always:
ś Make sure the CRS has a label
certifying that it meets applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS 213).
ś Select a Child Restraint System based
on your child’s height and weight. The
required label or the instructions for
use typically provide this information.
ś Select a Child Restraint System that
fits the vehicle seating position where
it will be used.
ś Read and comply with the warnings
and instructions for installation and
use provided with the Child Restraint
System.
Child Restraint System types
There are three main types of Child
Restraint Systems: rearward-facing,
forward-facing and booster Child
Restraint Systems.
They are classified according to the
child’s age, height and weight.
WARNING
NEVER install a child or infant restraint in
the front passenger’s seat.
Placing a rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat can result in SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH if the child restraint is struck by
an inflating airbag.
OJKEV032042N
Rear-facing child seats
A rear-facing child seat provides restraint
with the seating surf
ace against the back
of the child. The harness system holds
the child in place, and in an accident,
acts to keep the child positioned in the
seat and reduce the stress to the neck
and spinal cord.
All children under age one must always
ride in a rear-facing infant child restraint.
Convertible and 3-in-1 child seats
typically have higher height and weight
limits for the rear-facing position,
allowing you to keep your child rear-
facing for a longer period of time.
Continue to use a rear-facing child seat
for as long as your child will fit within the
height and weight limits allowed by the
child seat manufacturer. It’s the best way
to keep them safe. Once your child has
outgrown the rear-facing child restraint,
your child is ready for a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness.

Seats and Safety System
OJKEV032041N
Forward-facing Child Restraint System
A forward-facing Child Restraint System
pro
vides restraint for the child’s body
with a harness. Keep children in a
forward-facing Child Restraint System
with a harness until they reach the top
height or weight limit allowed by your
Child Restraint System’s manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the forward-
facing Child Restraint System, your child
is ready for a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is a Child Restraint
S
y
stem designed to improve the fit of
the vehicle’s seat belt system. A booster
seat positions the seat belt so that it
fits properly over the stronger parts of
your child’s body. Keep your children in
booster seats until they are big enough
to fit in a seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap belt
must lie comfortable across the upper
thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder
belt should lie comfortable across the
shoulder and chest and not across the
neck or face. Children under age 13
must always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an accident,
sudden stop or sudden maneuver.
Installing a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
WARNING
Before installing your Child Restraint
System always:
ś Read and follow the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the
child restraint.
ś Read and follow the instructions
regarding Child Restraint Systems in
this manual.
Failure to follow all warnings and
instructions could increase the risk of
the SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if an
accident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle head restraint prevents
proper installation of a child seat as
described in the child seat system
manual, the head restraint of the
respective seating position shall be
readjusted or entirely removed.

03
After selecting a proper child seat
for your child, check to make sure it
fits properly in your vehicle. Follow
the instructions provided by the
manufacturer when installing the child
seat. Note these general steps when
installing the seat to your vehicle:
ś Properly secure the child restraint to
the vehicle. All child restraints must
be secured to the vehicle with the lap
part of a lap/shoulder belt or with the
LATCH system.
ś Make sure the child restraint is
firmly secured. After installing a
child restraint to the vehicle, push
and pull the seat forward-and-back
and side-to-side to verify that it
is securely attached to the seat. A
child restraint secured with a seat
belt should be installed as firmly as
possible. However, some side-to-side
movement can be expected.
ś Secure the child in the Child
Restraint System. Make sure the
child is properly strapped in the Child
Restraint System according to the
Child Restraint System manufacturer’s
instructions.
CAUTION
A Child Restraint System in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. To prevent
burns, check the seating surface and
buckles before placing your child in the
Child Restraint System.
Lower Anchors and Tether for
Children (LATCH System)
The LATCH system holds a child restraint
during driving and in an accident. This
system is designed to make installation
of the child restraint easier and reduce
the possibility of improperly installing
your child restraint. The LATCH system
uses anchors in the vehicle and
attachments on the child restraint. The
LATCH system eliminates the need to use
seat belts to secure the child restraint to
the rear seats.
Lower anchors are metal bars built into
the vehicle. There are two lower anchors
for each LATCH seating position that
will accommodate a child restraint with
lower attachments.
To use the LATCH system in your vehicle,
you must have a child restraint with
LATCH attachments.
The child seat manufacturer will provide
you with instructions on how to use the
child seat with its attachments for the
LATCH lower anchors.

WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using the LATCH system:
ś Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your child
restraint system.
ś To prevent the child from reaching
and taking hold of unretracted seat
belts, buckle all unused rear seat belts
and retract the seat belt webbing
behind the child. Children can be
strangled if a shoulder belt becomes
wrapped around their neck and the
seat belt tightens.
ś NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single anchor. This could
cause the anchor or attachment to
come loose or break.
ś Always have the LATCH system
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products after an
accident. An accident can damage the
LATCH system and may not properly
secure the child restraint.
NOTICE
Make sure that the combined weight of
the child and the child restraint system is
less than 65 lbs. (30 kg) for each LATCH
system.
Securing a child restraint seat with
“Tether Anchor” system
OJKEV032043N
First secure the child restraint with
the LATCH lower anchors or the seat
belt. If the child restraint manufacturer
recommends that the top tether strap
be attached, attach and tighten the
top tether strap to the top tether strap
anchor.
Child restraint hook holders are located
on the rear of the seatbacks.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
installing the tether strap:
ś Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your child
restraint system.
ś NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single tether anchor. This
could cause the anchor or attachment
to come loose or break.
ś Do not attach the tether strap to
anything other than the correct tether
anchor. It may not work properly if
attached to something else.
ś Do not use the tether anchors for
adult seat belts or harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to
the vehicle.
3-44
Seats and Safety System
OJKEV032040N
To install the tether anchor:
1. Route the child restraint tether strap
over the child restraint seatback.
Route the tether strap under the
head restraint and between the head
restraint posts, or route the tether
strap over the top of the vehicle
seatback. Make sure the strap is not
twisted.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the
tether anchor, then tighten the tether
strap according to the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions to firmly
secure the child restraint to the seat.
3. Check that the child restraint is
securely attached to the seat by
pushing and pulling the seat forward-
and-back and side-to-side.
Securing a child restraint with lap/
shoulder belt
When not using the LATCH system, all
child restraints must be secured to a
vehicle rear seat with the lap part of a
lap/shoulder belt.
WARNING
ALWAYS place a rear-facing child
restraint in the rear seat of the vehicle.
Placing a rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat can result in serious injury or
death if the child restraint is struck by an
inflating airbag.
Automatic locking mode
Since all passenger seat belts move
fr
eely under normal conditions and
only lock under e
xtreme or emergency
conditions (emergency locking mode),
you must manually pull the seat belt all
the way out to shift the retractor to the
“Automatic Locking” mode to secure a
child restraint.
The “Automatic Locking” mode will
help prevent the normal movement of
the child in the vehicle from causing
the seat belt to loosen and compromise
the child restraint system. To secure a
child restraint system, use the following
procedure.
To install a child restraint system on the
rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the child restraint system on a
rear seat and route the lap/ shoulder
belt around or through the child
restraint, following the restraint
manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure
the seat belt webbing is not twisted.
Information
When using the rear center seat belt, you
should also refer to the “Rear Seat Belts
– 3-point system with convertible locking
retractor” section in this chapter.

ORS031122
2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch
into the buckle. Listen for the distinct
“click” sound.
Information
Position the release button so that it is
easy to access in case of an emergency.
ORS031125
3. Pull the shoulder portion of the
seat belt all the way out. When the
shoulder portion of the seat belt
is fully extended, it will shift the
retractor to the “Automatic Locking”
(child restraint) mode.
4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of
the seat belt to retract and listen for
an audible “clicking” or “ratcheting”
sound. This indicates that the retractor
is in the “Automatic Locking” mode.
If no distinct sound is heard, repeat
steps 3 and 4.
5. Remove as much slack from the belt
as possible by pushing down on the
child restraint system while feeding
the shoulder belt back into the
retractor.
6. Push and pull on the child restraint
system to confirm that the seat belt
is holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the seat belt and repeat steps
2 through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in
the “Automatic Locking” mode by
attempting to pull more of the seat
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot,
the retractor is in the “Automatic
Locking” mode.
If your CRS (child restraint system)
manufacturer instructs or recommends
you to use a tether anchor with the lap/
shoulder belt, refer to the previous pages
for more information.
Information
When the seat belt is allowed to
retract to its fully stowed position, the
retractor will automatically switch from
the “Automatic Locking” mode to the
emergency lock mode for normal adult
usage.
WARNING
If the retractor is not in the “Automatic
Locking” mode, the child restraint can
move when your vehicle turns or stops
suddenly. A child can be seriously injured
or killed if the child restraint is not
properly anchored in the car, including
manually pulling the seat belt all the
way out to shift the retractor to the
“Automatic Locking” mode.
To remove the child restraint, press the
release button on the buckle and then
pull the lap/shoulder belt out of the
restraint and allow the seat belt to retract
fully.

Your vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Airbag System for the driver’s seat and
front passenger’s seats.
The front airbags are designed to supplement the three-point seat belts. For these
airbags to provide protection, the seat belts must be worn at all times when driving.
You can be severely injured or killed in an accident if you are not wearing a seat belt.
Airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, but do not replace them. Also, airbags
are not designed to deploy in every collision. In some accidents, the seat belts are the
only restraint protecting you.
WARNING
AIRBAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts and Child Restraint Systems - every trip, every time, everyone!
Even with airbags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if you are
improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt when the airbag inflates.
NEVER place a child in any Child Restraint System or booster seat in the front
passenger seat, unless the airbag is deactivated.
An inflating airbag could forcefully strike the infant or child causing serious or fatal
injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the safest place for
children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older must be seated in the front seat, he
or she must be properly belted and the seat should be moved as far back as possible.
All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright position, centered on
the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is parked and the vehicle is turned off. If an occupant is out
of position during an accident, the rapidly deploying airbag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbags or
lean against the door or center console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front airbags, while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
recommends that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.

and passenger seating positions.
The SRS consists of airbags which are
located in the center of the steering
wheel, in the driver’s side lower
dashboard below the steering wheel,
and the passenger’s side front panel pad
above the glove box.
The airbags are labeled with the letters
“AIRBAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle’s driver and front passengers with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt system alone in case of a
frontal impact of sufficient severity.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from inflating front airbags, take
the following precautions:
ś Seat belts must be worn at all times
to help keep occupants positioned

OJKEV031056
OJKEV031055
OJKEV031057
[A]: Side airbag,
[B]: Front center side airbag (Driver’s seat)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
airbag in each front seat. Additionally, a
front center side airbag is provided in the
inboard side of the driver seatback. The
purpose of the airbag is to provide the
vehicle’s additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone.
The side airbags and front center side
airbag are designed to deploy during
certain side impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the front center side airbag,
side and/or curtain airbags and pre-
tensioners on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected.
The side airbags and front center side
airbag are not designed to deploy in all
side impact or rollover situations.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating side airbag
and front center side airbag, take the
following precautions:
ś Seat belts must be worn at all times
to help keep occupants positioned
properly.
ś Do not allow passengers to lean their
heads or bodies onto doors, put their
arms on the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place objects
between the doors and seats.
ś Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to
minimize the risk of injuries to your
hands and arms.
ś Do not use any accessory seat covers.
This could reduce or prevent the
effectiveness of the system.
ś Do not hang objects over the airbags.

SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
airbag warning light on the ins
trument
panel displays the airbag symbol
depicted in the illustration. The system
checks the airbag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light indicates that
there is a potential problem with your
airbag system, which could include your
side and/or curtain airbags used for
rollover protection.
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the airbag may
not inflate properly during an accident,
increasing the risk of serious injury or
death.
If any of the following conditions occur,
your SRS is malfunctioning:
ś The light does not turn on for about
three to six seconds when the Start/
Stop button is in the ON position.
ś The light stays on after illuminating for
about three to six seconds.
ś The light comes on while the vehicle is
in motion.
ś The light blinks when the vehicle is on
(
indicator on).
Have an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products inspect the SRS
as soon as possible if any of these
conditions occur.
During a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors will detect the
vehicle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the control
unit will inflate the front airbags, at the
time and with the force needed.
The front airbags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding to
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. The
side airbags help provide protection in
certain side impacts or rollover accidents
by supporting the side upper body area.
ś Airbags are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the Start/Stop
button is in the ON or START position
and it can be activated within about 3
minutes after the vehicle is turned off.
ś Airbags inflate in the event of certain
frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
ś There is no single speed at which the
airbags will inflate. Generally, airbags
are designed to inflate based upon the
severity of a collision and its direction.
These two factors determine whether
the sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.
ś The front airbags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually impossible for you to see the
airbags inflate during an accident. It is
much more likely that you will simply
see the deflated airbags hanging out
of their storage compartments after
the collision.
3-53
03
ś In addition to inflating in serious side
collisions, vehicles equipped with a
rollover sensor, side and/or curtain
airbags and front center side airbag
will inflate if the sensing system
detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, curtain
airbags will remain inflated longer to
help provide protection from ejection,
especially when used in conjunction
with the seat belts.
ś To help provide protection, the
airbags must inflate rapidly. The speed
of airbag inflation is a consequence
of extremely short time in which
to inflate the airbag between the
occupant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries and is thus a
necessary part of airbag design.
However, the rapid airbag inflation
can also cause injuries which can
include facial abrasions, bruises and
broken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the airbags to
expand with a great deal of force.
ś There are even circumstances under
which contact with the airbag can
cause fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the airbag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating airbag. The
greatest risk is sitting too close to the
airbag. An airbag needs space to inflate.
It is recommended that drivers sit as far
as possible between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
Driver’s front airbag (1)
OHI038171L
When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle,
it will automatically deploy the front
airbags.
Driver’s front airbag (2)
OHI038172L
Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
airbags. Further opening of the covers
allows full inflation of the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the
driver’s or the front passenger’s forward
motion, reducing the risk of head and
chest injury.

Passenger’s front airbag
ODN8039080L
After complete inflation, the airbag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibility
and the ability to steer or operate other
controls.
WARNING
To prevent objects from becoming
dangerous projectiles when the
passenger’s airbag inflates:
ś Do not install or place any objects
(drink holder, CD holder, stickers, etc.)
on the front passenger’s panel above
the glove box where the passenger’s
airbag is located.
ś Do not install a container of liquid air
freshener near the instrument cluster
or on the instrument panel surface.
What to Expect After an Airbag
Inflates
After a frontal or side airbag inflates, it
will deflate very quickly. Airbag inflation
will not prevent the driver from seeing
out of the windshield or being able
to steer. Curtain airbags may remain
partially inflated for some time after they
deploy.
WARNING
After an airbag inflates, take the
following precautions:
ś Open your windows and doors as
soon as possible after impact to
reduce prolonged exposure to the
smoke and powder released by the
inflating airbag.
ś Do not touch the airbag storage area’s
internal components immediately
after an airbag has inflated. The
parts that come into contact with an
inflating airbag may be very hot.
ś Always wash exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold water and mild
soap.
ś Have an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products replace the airbag
immediately after deployment.
Airbags are designed to be used only
once.
3-55
03
Noise and smoke from inflating
airbag
When the airbags inflate, they make a
loud noise and may produce smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the airbag inflator. After the
airbag inflates, you may feel substantial
discomfort in breathing because of the
contact of your chest with both the
seat belt and the airbag, as well as from
breathing the smoke and powder. The
powder may aggravate asthma for some
people. If you experience breathing
problems after an airbag deployment,
seek medical attention immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to
the skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is
the case, wash and rinse with cold water
immediately and seek medical attention
if the symptoms persist.
Occupant Classification System
(OCS)
OJKEV032051N
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Occupant Classification System (OCS) in
the front passenger’s seat.
Main components of the Occupant
Classification System
ś A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.
ś Electronic system to determine
whether the passenger airbag systems
should be activated or deactivated.
ś An indicator light located on the
overhead console which illuminates
the words “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF”
indicating the front passenger airbag
system is deactivated.
ś The instrument cluster airbag
indicator light is interconnected with
the OCS.
The OCS is designed to help detect
the presence of a properly-seated
front passenger and determine if the
passenger’s front airbag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
The purpose is to help reduce the risk of
injury or death from an inflating airbag to
certain front passenger seat occupants,
such as children, by requiring the airbag
to be automatically turned off.
3-56
Seats and Safety System
For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, the occupant classification sensor
can detect it and cause the airbag to turn
off.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing
the seat belt properly, should not cause
the passenger airbag to be automatically
turned off. For smaller adults it may turn
off. However, if the occupant does not
sit in the seat properly (for example, by
not sitting upright, by sitting on the edge
of the seat, or by otherwise being out of
position), this could cause the sensor to
turn the airbag off.
You will find the “PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF” indicator overhead console panel.
This system detects the conditions 1-4
in the following table and activates or
deactivates the front passenger airbag
based on these conditions.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated properly and
wearing the seat belt properly for the
most effective protection by the airbag
and the seat belt.
The OCS may not function properly if the
passenger takes actions which can affect
the classification system. These include:
ś Failing to sit in an upright position.
ś Leaning against the door or center
console.
ś Sitting towards the sides of the front
of the seat.
ś Putting their legs on the dashboard or
resting them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.
ś Wearing the seat belt improperly.
ś Reclining the seatback.
ś Wearing thick clothing like ski wear or
hip protection wear.
ś Putting an additional thick cushion on
the seat.
ś Putting electrical devices (for
example, notebook, satellite radio) on
the seat with inverter charging.

ś Always properly restrain children in an
appropriate child restraint in the rear
seat of the vehicle.
Why Didn’t My Airbag Go Off In a
Collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the airbag would not be expected
to provide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third
collisions in multiple impact accidents,
as well as low speed impacts. Damage
to the vehicle indicates collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an airbag should have
inflated.
Airbag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an airbag deploying
unexpectedly and causing serious injury
or death:
ś Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where airbags or
sensors are installed.
ś Do not perform maintenance on or
around the airbag sensors. If the
location or angle of the sensors is
altered, the airbags may deploy when
they should not or may not deploy
when they should.
ś Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine Genesis part. This may
adversely affect the collision and
airbag deployment performance.
ś Press the Start/Stop button to the
OFF or ACC position and wait for 3
minutes, when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent airbag
deployment.
ś Have all airbag repairs performed
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.

Airbag inflation conditions
OJKEV031069
Front airbags
Front airbags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on the
se
verity of impact of the front collision.
OJKEV031068
OJKEV032066N
Side and curtain airbags and front center
side airbag
Side and curtain airbags and the front
cent
er side airbag ar
e designed to
inflate when an impact is detected by
side collision sensors depending on the
severity of impact resulting from a side
collision.
Although the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags are designed to
inflate in frontal collisions, they also may
inflate in other types of collisions if the
front impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact. Side and curtain airbags and the
front center side airbag are designed
to inflate in side impact collisions, but
they may inflate in other collisions if the
side impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.
Also, the side and curtain airbags and the
front center side airbag are designed to
inflate when a rollover is detected by a
rollover sensor (if equipped with rollover
sensor).
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,
the airbags may deploy. Drive carefully
on unimproved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended airbag deployment.
3-64
Seats and Safety System
Airbag non-inflation conditions
OJKEV031070
In certain low-speed collisions the
airbags may not deploy. The airbags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts.
OJKEV031071
Front airbags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occupants
are moved backward by the force of the
impact. In this case, inflated airbags
would not provide any additional benefit.
OJKEV031067
Front airbags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front airbag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain airbags and
the front center side airbag may inflate
depending on the severity of impact.
OJKEV031072
In an angled collision, the force of impact
may direct the occupants in a direction
where the airbags would not be able to
provide any additional benefit, and thus
the sensors may not deploy any airbags.
3-65
03
OJKEV031073
Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it
to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Airbags may not
inflate in this “underride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.
OJKEV031075
Front airbags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front airbag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
The side and curtain airbags and the
front center side airbag may inflate in a
rollover situation, when it is detected by
the rollover sensor.
OJKEV031074
Airbags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility poles
or trees, where the point of impact is
concentrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle structure.
3-66
Seats and Safety System
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS airbag
warning light does not illuminate when
the Start/Stop button is in the ON
position, or continuously remains on,
have the system immediately inspected
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel, the front
passenger’s panel, front seats and roof
rails be performed by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injuries.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death, take the following precautions:
ś Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of any
kind of badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure.
ś Do not place objects over or near
the airbag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, and the front
passenger’s panel above the glove
box.
ś Clean the airbag pad covers with a
soft cloth moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the airbag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
ś Always have inflated airbags replaced
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
ś If components of the airbag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed.
Consult an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products for the
necessary information. Failure to
follow these precautions could
increase the risk of personal injury.
3-67
03
Additional Safety Precautions
Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wearing
a seat belt during a crash or emergency
stop can be thrown against the inside of
the vehicle, against other occupants, or
be ejected from the vehicle.
Do not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provided
by the seat belt and increase the chance
of serious injury in a crash.
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sensing
components or side airbags.
Do not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front seats
could interfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sensing
components and wiring harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors.
Impact to the doors when the Start/Stop
button is in the ON or START position
may cause the airbags to inflate.
Modifications to accommodate
disabilities. If you require modification
to your vehicle to accommodate a
disability, contact Genesis Customer
Care at 844 340-9741.
Adding equipment to or modifying
your airbag equipped vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle’s frame, bumper system,
front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle’s airbag system.
Airbag Warning Labels
OJKEV032076N
Airbag warning labels, required by the
U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), are attached
to alert the driver and passengers of
potential risks of the airbag system. Be
sure to read all of the information about
the airbags that are installed on your
vehicle in this Owners Manual.

3) Two-Way Communication
Programming (For select garage door
openers)
If your garage door opener has the
‘myQ’ logo on its side, your opener
likely has Two-Way Communication
capability. HomeLink has the capability
to establish Two-Way Communication
with your garage door opener. HomeLink
can receive and display “closing”
or “opening” status messages from
compatible garage door openers. At
any time, Home-Link can also recall
and display the last recorded status
communicated by the garage door
opener to indicate your garage door
being “closed” or “opened”.
To check if your garage door opener is
compatible with this feature, refer to
www.homelink.com/compatible/Two-
way-Communication. If your garage
door opener has this functionality, AND
the Two-Way Communication indicators
(4), (6) in the mirror appear while the
garage door is opening/closing, then
no further steps are needed. Two-Way
Communication Programming is already
complete. However, if your garage door
opener has this functionality, AND the
Two-Way Communication indicators (4),
(6) in the mirror DO NOT appear while
the garage door is opening/closing, use
the following instructions to enable this
functionality.
1. In your vehicle, press and hold the
programmed HomeLink button for 2
seconds, then release. Confirm that
the garage door is moving. AFTER it
stops, you will have one minute to

2. On your garage door opener in your
garage, locate the “Learn” button
(usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the garage
door opener). If there is difficulty
locating this button, reference the
device’s owner’s manual.
3. Press and release the “Learn” button.
4. A light on your garage door opener
may flash, and your Two-Way
Communication indicators (4), (6) in
your vehicle may flash, confirming

moving. Do not make any additional
button presses until AFTER the garage
door has come to a complete stop.
6. Your Two-Way Communication
programming is now complete.
Information
If your garage door opener has Two-
Way Communication functionality,
it is possible for HomeLink to stop
functioning the garage door shortly
after initial programming, IF the Two-
Way Communication Programming
wasn’t properly completed. This
usually happens after the first 10 times
a programmed HomeLink button
is pressed. If you experience this,
completing the “Programming a New
HomeLink Button” and “Two-Way
Communication Programming” will
restore door operation.

WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driving is
dangerous and may result in an accident
and SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Just one
drink can reduce your ability to respond
to changing conditions and emergencies.
Your reaction time gets worse with each
additional drink.
Driving while under the influence
of drugs is as dangerous as or more
dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive. If you are drinking or
taking drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been drinking or
taking drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a taxi.

Good Driving Practices
ś Never shift the gear from P (Park) or
N (Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
ś Never shift the gear into P (Park) when
the vehicle is moving. Completely
stop before shifting into R (Reverse) or
D (Drive).
ś Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral)
when driving. If the gear is shifted to
N (Neutral) while driving. Doing so
may increase the risk of an accident.
Also, shifting the gear back to D
(Drive) while the vehicle is moving
may severely damage the gear.
ś Never attempt to select a gear that is
opposite the direction of the vehicle
motion. Check the gear position
before driving. Stop the vehicle
before shifting to the desired gear.
The vehicle may turn off, causing a
collision.
ś Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can result
in the brakes overheating, brake wear
and possibly even brake failure.
ś Always apply the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend
on placing the shift gear in P (Park) to
keep the vehicle from moving.
6-17
06
ś Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating, or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
ś Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator pedal.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
ś ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a
collision, an unbelted occupant is
significantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properly belted
occupant.
ś Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
ś Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
ś The risk of rollover is greatly increased
if you lose control of your vehicle at
highway speeds.
ś Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter

Regenerative braking system operates
the paddle shifter to control the
regenerative braking intensity of the
vehicle. It improves the fuel efficiency of
the vehicle and helps the driver to have a
better driving experience.
Information
The regenerative braking system uses
the electric motor to engage the brake.
The electric motor converts the kinetic
energy generated from decelerating the
vehicle to electricity and charges the
high voltage battery.

accelerator pedal depressed. Coasting
uses the inertia of driving energy instead
of the vehicle power.
Using one pedal driving
Pull and hold the left paddle shifter ( )
for over 0.5 seconds while coasting to
enable the one pedal driving mode.
ś Release the paddle shifter when the
vehicle speed is above 1.8 mph (3
km/h) to return to the previously set
regenerative braking level.
ś If the vehicle speed is below 1.8
mph (3 km/h), the vehicle will keep
engaging the brake although the
driver releases the paddle shifter.
ś Releasing the paddle shifter after the
vehicle comes to a stop will maintain
the vehicle stationary.

Precautions
ś Always monitor the distance to
vehicles ahead on the road. The
smart regeneration system is not a
substitute for safe driving practices,
but a supplemental function only.
ś Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicles ahead and adjust your
vehicle speed to the road conditions.
The smart regeneration system
may not recognize unexpected and
sudden situations or complex driving
situations.
6-26
Driving Your Vehicle
General precautions
ś Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicles ahead and adjust your
vehicle speed depending on the road
conditions.
ś Always prepare for unexpected
situations and depress the brake pedal
to decelerate when necessary. The
smart regeneration system cannot
react to pedestrians, vehicles making
a sudden stop and vehicles coming
from the opposite lane.
ś If the vehicle ahead frequently
changes the lane, keep your eyes
forward to be prepared for hazardous
situations. In this case, the smart
regeneration system may respond
late and may inappropriately respond
to vehicle movements from the side
lanes.
ś The driver must depress the brake
pedal when stopping the vehicle.
ś Depress the brake pedal to decelerate
in the following conditions when:
- The front part of the vehicle is lifted
up because of the cargo loaded on
the rear part of the vehicle.
- You are operating the steering
wheel.
- You are not driving in the center of
the lane.
- You are driving on a narrow or
curved road.
ś The smart regeneration system may
temporarily turn off when exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves.
ś If the vehicle starts coasting near the
speed camera and engages the brake
with the smart regeneration system,
the vehicle may not be able to keep
the speed limit. Always comply with
the road and traffic law.
Sensor precautions
ś Never disassemble the radar or radar
assembly, and never apply any impact
on it.
ś If there is impact on or near the radar,
the sensors may be damaged or not
be properly aligned near the radar,
even though a warning message does
not appear on the instrument cluster,
the Smart Regeneration System may
not operate properly. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
ś If the radar has been replaced or
repaired, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
ś Use only genuine parts to repair the
bumper where the radar is located.
ś Do not install a license plate frame or
other objects such as bumper sticker,
film, bumper guard, or bumper wrap
near the radar.
ś The Smart Regeneration System may
not work properly if the bumper has
been replaced, or the surroundings
of the radar has been damaged or
painted.
ś Do not spray the sensors or the
surrounding area directly with high
pressure water.
6-27
06
Detecting vehicle
ś The front sensor may not detect the
v
ehicle ahead or may suddenly detect
the vehicle ahead, such as when the
smart regeneration system responds
slowly, when driving on a hill ends,
or when driving through a curve. The
regenerative braking intensity may
increase and decelerate your vehicle.
ś
OJKEV062053
Some vehicles in your lane may not be
detected by the sensor:
- Narrow vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden
decelerating vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such
as trailers with no loads
ś When a vehicle in front of you merges
out of the lane, the front sensor may
not detect the new stopped vehicle
that is now in front of your vehicle.
Driving on curves
ś
OJKEV061038
The front sensor may not detect the
vehicle ahead if you are coasting on
a curve. The regenerative braking
intensity may automatically decrease
and accelerate the vehicle.
ś
OJKEV061039
On curves, if a vehicle is detected in
an adjacent lane, the regenerative
braking intensity may increase and
decelerate your vehicle.
ś If the front sensor suddenly detects
the vehicle ahead, the regenerative
braking intensity may increase and
decelerate your vehicle.
6-28
Driving Your Vehicle
Driving on hills
OJKEV061018
When coasting uphill or downhill, the
front sensor may not detect the vehicle
ahead or suddenly detect the vehicle
ahead at the end of the incline or at the
point where the incline changes. The
regenerative braking intensity is adjusted
automatically changing your vehicle
speed. Brake as needed to reduce your
driving speed.
Changing lanes
OJKEV061040
ś When a vehicle moves into your lane
from an adjacent lane, it cannot be
detected by the sensor until it is in the
sensor's detection range.
ś The smart regeneration system may
not immediately detect the vehicle
when your vehicle changes lanes
abruptly.
6-29

Power-assist Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
In the event of a vehicle power failure,
the power assist for the brakes will not
work. You can still stop your vehicle, but
it will require greater force and increased
pedal travel than normal. The stopping
distance, however, will be longer than
with power brakes.
Information
ś When the brake pedal is depressed
under certain driving conditions
or weather conditions, you may
temporarily hear a noise. This is
normal and does not indicate a
problem with your brakes.
ś While driving on a road with deicing
chemicals, brake noise or abnormal
tire wear may occur due to deicing
chemicals. In a safe traffic condition,
additionally apply the brakes to
remove deicing chemicals on the
brake discs and pads.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
ś Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
So increase the regeneration braking
level with the left paddle shifter to
decrease the speed.
ś When descending down a long or
steep hill, use the paddle shifter to
increase the regeneration braking
level in order to decrease your
speed without using the brake
pedal excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will cause
the brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of braking
performance.
ś Wet brakes may impair the vehicle’s
ability to safely slow down; the vehicle
may also pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying the
brakes lightly will indicate whether
they have been affected in this way.
Always test your brakes in this fashion
after driving through deep water. To
dry the brakes, lightly tap the brake
pedal to heat up the brakes while
maintaining a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to normal.
Avoid driving at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
NOTICE
ś Do not continue depressing the
brake pedal if the vehicle is off
(
indicator off). The battery may
be discharged.
ś Noise and vibration generated during
braking is normal.
ś Under normal operation, electric
brake pump noise and motor vibration
may occur temporarily in below cases.
- When the pedal is depressed
suddenly.
- When the pedal is repeatedly
depressed in short intervals.
- When the ABS function is activated
while braking.
BRAKING SYSTEM

Driving Your Vehicle
Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high
pitched warning sound from your front
or rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete
front or rear axle sets.
High Performance Brake
For vehicles equipped with the High
Performance Brake (large diameter
monoblock brakes with enhanced
braking performance), noise such as a
squeal, squeak or groan is generated
while braking. This is normal and the
friction may create circle patterns on
the disc surface. This is also a normal
condition which does not affect braking
performance.
WARNING
Frequent braking may deform
components and wear the disc brake
causing vibration when braking. Observe
the speed limit to prevent brake damage
from excessive braking.
Brake wear, noise, vibration from
excessive braking or deformation of the
brakes caused by repeatedly braking in
high speed, racing on tracks, etc., can be
excluded from warranty coverage.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
WARNING
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) or
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle control
is improved during emergency braking,
always maintain a safe distance between
you and objects ahead of you. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The braking
distance for vehicles equipped with ABS
or ESC may be longer than for those
without these systems in the following
road conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced speeds
during the following conditions:
ś Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
ś On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.
ś Tire chains are installed on your
vehicle.
The safety features of ABS or ESC
equipped vehicle should not be tested
by high speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of yourself or
others.
ABS is an electronic braking system that
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows
the driver to steer and brake at the same
time.
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your brake
pressure and do not try to pump your
brakes.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear sounds from the brakes,
or feel a corresponding sensation in the
brake pedal. This is normal and it means
your ABS is active.
ABS does not reduce the time or distance
it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that results
from sudden changes in direction, such
as trying to take a corner too fast or
making a sudden lane change. Always
drive at a safe speed for the road and
weather conditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when braking
hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel
movement can still cause your vehicle to
veer into oncoming traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake system
may result in a longer stopping distance
than for vehicles equipped with a
conventional brake system.
The ABS (
) warning light will stay on
for several seconds after the Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.
6-39
06
During that time, ABS will go through
self-diagnosis and the light will go off if
everything is normal. If the light stays on,
you may have a problem with your ABS.
Contact an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products as soon as possible.
WARNING
If the ABS ( ) warning light is on and
stays on, you may have a problem with
the ABS. Your power brakes will work
normally. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, contact an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products as
soon as possible.
NOTICE
When you drive on a road having poor
traction, such as an icy road, and apply
your brakes continuously, ABS will be
active continuously and the ABS (
)
warning light may illuminate. Pull your
vehicle over to a safe place and turn the
vehicle off.
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS warning
light is off, then your ABS system is
normal.
Otherwise, you may have a problem with
your ABS system. Contact an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products as
soon as possible.
Information
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the ABS
(
) warning light may turn on at the
same time. This happens because of the
low battery voltage. It does not mean
your ABS is malfunctioning. Have the
battery recharged before driving the
vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
OJKEV061028
Electronic Stability Control helps to
stabilize the vehicle during cornering
maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering and
where the vehicle is actually going. ESC
applies braking pressure to any one of
the vehicle's brakes and intervenes in the
electric vehicle control system to assist
the driver with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Always adjust your
speed and driving to the road conditions.
6-40
Driving Your Vehicle
WARNING

Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
Trailer stability assist is operated as a
vehicle stability control system. The
Trailer stability assist system stabilizes
the vehicle and trailer when the trailer
sways or oscillates. In most cases, trailer
sway happens at high speeds.
Factors that can cause trailer sway
include:
- High speed
- Strong crosswinds
- Improper overloading
- Sudden steering inputs
- Uneven road
When the Trailer stability assist system
detects sway, the front brakes are
applied automatically. If it is not enough
braking, the brakes are applied on all
wheels automatically and vehicle power
is reduced.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards
when starting a vehicle from a stop on
a hill. The system operates the brakes
automatically for about 2 seconds
(maximum of 5 seconds when the
accelerator pedal is slightly depressed
during HAC operation) and releases
the brake after 2 seconds or when the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
WARNING
Always be ready to depress the

Good Braking Practices
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking,
always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Shift the gear to the P (Park) position,
then apply the parking brake, and
press the Start/Stop button to the OFF
position.
Vehicles parked with the parking brake
not applied or not fully engaged may roll
inadvertently and may cause injury to
the driver and others. ALWAYS apply the
parking brake before exiting the vehicle.
Be aware of wet brakes. The brakes may
get wet if the vehicle is driven through
standing water or if it is washed. Your
vehicle will not stop as quickly if the
brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause
the vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal. If the braking action does not
return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe
to do so and call an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but constant
pedal pressure can result in the brakes
overheating, brake wear, and possibly
even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
vehicle pointed straight ahead while you
slow down. When you are moving slowly
enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off
the road and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal
when the vehicle is stopped to prevent
the vehicle from rolling forward.

When All Wheel Drive (AWD) is
activated, driving forces are distributed
appropriately to front and rear wheels.
It could improve driving performance by
maximizing the driving force of vehicles
on severe road conditions such as steep
hills, unpaved, slippery, etc.
Advantage of electronic AWD
1. Improvement of straight stability
2. Improvement of driving performance
on curve
3. Secure stability on severe condition
such as wet and sandy roads.
4. Improvement of energy efficiency
from driving mode automatic control.
Information
AWD vehicles could change the
engagement status of the motor
according to the situation required. Auto
changing the driving mode(2WD/AWD)
helps improve energy efficiency and
driving stability.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
ś Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
ś Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
ś The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
ś Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter
the roadway.
ś In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,
slow down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
NOTICE
ś Do not drive in water if the water
level is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.
ś Check your brake condition once you
are out of mud or water. Depress the
brake pedal several times as you move
slowly until you feel normal braking
condition is returned.
ś Shorten your scheduled maintenance
interval if you drive in off-road
conditions such as sand, mud or water
(Refer to the "Maintenance Under
Severe Usage Conditions" section in
chapter 9).
ś Always wash your vehicle thoroughly
after off road use, especially the
bottom of the vehicle.
ś Be sure to equip the vehicle with four
tires of the same size and type.
ś Make sure that a full time AWD vehicle
is towed by a flat bed tow truck.

WARNING
Always turn off the ESC system before
rocking the vehicle. If the vehicle
is stuck and excessive wheel spin
occurs, the temperature in the tires
may increase very quickly. If the tires
become damaged, a tire blow out or tire
explosion may occur - you and others
may be injured. Do not attempt this
procedure if people or objects are near
the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle may overheat quickly, possibly
causing a motor compartment fire or
other damage. Try to avoid spinning the
wheels as much as possible to prevent
overheating of the tires or the motor. DO
NOT allow the vehicle to spin the wheels
above 35 mph (56 km/h).
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
motor overheating, possible damage to
the gear, and tire damage. Refer to the
“Towing” section in chapter 8.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, cornering should be taken under
gentle acceleration.
Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the following
precautions:
ś Drive cautiously and maintain a longer
braking distance.
ś Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
ś When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, or sand, use second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary wheel spin.
ś Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other
non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow,
or mud.
WARNING
Changing the tire speed suddenly could
cause the tires to skid while driving on
slippery surface. Be careful when driving
on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the vehicle.
To prevent gear wear, wait until the
wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the vehicle is
in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.

Driving Your Vehicle
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards than
driving in the daylight. Here are some
important tips to remember:
ś Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.
ś Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare
from other drivers’ headlights.
ś Keep your headlights clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
ś Avoid staring directly at the headlights
of oncoming vehicles. You could be
temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to
readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. When driving in the rain or on
slick pavement:
ś Slow down and allow extra following
distance. A heavy rainfall makes
it harder to see and increases the
distance needed to stop your vehicle.
ś Turn OFF your Smart Cruise Control.
(if equipped)
ś Replace your windshield wiper blades
when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
ś Make sure your tires have enough
tread. If your tires do not have enough
tread, making a quick stop on wet
pavement may cause a skid and
possibly lead to a collision. Refer to
the “Tire Tread” section in chapter 9.
ś Turn on your headlights to make it
easier for others to see you. Using
your headlights when using your
windshield wipers is required in some
jurisdictions.
ś Driving too fast through large puddles
may affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
ś If you believe your brakes are wet,
apply them several times while the
vehicle is moving slowly.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the water.
The best advice is SLOW DOWN when
the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as the
depth of tire tread decreases, refer to the
“Tire Tread” section in chapter 9.
Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is not
deeper than the bottom of the wheel
hub. If you are not sure, turn around and
find a different route.
Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because the
brake performance can be reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressure, as
specified. Under-inflation may overheat
or damage the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or fail.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified
on your tires.
6-59
06
Coolant and high voltage battery
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more electric energy and is
less efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
electric energy when driving on the
highway.
Be sure to check both the coolant level
and the electric energy level before
driving.
Reducing the Risk of a Rollover
Your multi-purpose passenger vehicle is
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
SUV’s have higher ground clearance
and a narrower track to make them
capable of performing in a wide variety
of off-road applications. The specific
design characteristics give them a higher
center of gravity than ordinary vehicles
making them more likely to roll over if
you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles
have a significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles. Due to this
risk, driver and passengers are strongly
recommended to buckle their seat belts.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
There are steps that a driver can make
to reduce the risk of a rollover. If at all
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers, do not load your vehicle
with heavy cargo on the roof, and never
modify your vehicle in any way.
WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
To prevent rollovers or loss of control:
ś Take corners at slower speeds than
you would with a passenger vehicle.
ś Avoid sharp turns and abrupt
maneuvers.
ś Do not modify your vehicle in any way
that you would raise the center of
gravity.
ś Keep tires properly inflated.
ś Do not carry heavy cargo on the roof.
WARNING
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt. Make sure all
passengers are wearing their seat belts.
6-60
Driving Your Vehicle
The severe weather conditions of winter quickly wear out tires and cause other
problems. To minimize winter driving problems, you should take the following
suggestions:
Snow or Icy Conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of
you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns are potentially very hazardous practices. Sudden brake applications on
snowy or icy roads may cause the vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to install tire chains on your
tires.
Always carry emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include
tire chains, tow straps or chains, a flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper
cables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
Snow tires
WARNING
Snow tires should be equivalent in size and type to the vehicle’s standard tires.
Otherwise, the safety and handling of your vehicle may be adversely affected.
Use snow tires when road temperature is below 45°F (7°C). Refer to the below chart,
and mount the recommended snow tire for your vehicle.
Standard tire Recommended snow tire
Tire size Wheel size Tire size Wheel size
265/45 R20 8.5J x 20 265/45 R20 8.5J x 20
If you mount snow tires on your vehicle, make sure to use the same Inflation pressure
as the original tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels to balance your vehicle’s
handling in all weather conditions. The traction provided by snow tires on dry roads
may not be as high as your vehicle’s original equipment tires. Check with the tire dealer
for maximum speed recommendations.
WINTER DRIVING
6-61
06
Summer tires
ś Summer tires are used to maximize
the driving performance on dry roads.
ś If the temperature is below 45°F (7°C)
or you are driving on snowy or icy
roads, the summer tires lose their
brake performance and traction as the
tire grip weakens significantly.
ś If the temperature is below 45°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.
ś When using the M+S tires, use tires
with the same tread produced by the
same manufacturer for safe driving.
ś 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 (Auto sock)
OJKEV061034
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of snow chains on
them. Therefore, the use of snow tires is
recommended instead of snow chains.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicle
equipped with aluminum wheels; snow
chains may cause damage to the wheels.
If possible, use AutoSock (fabric snow
chain). Damage to your vehicle caused
by improper snow chain use is not
covered by your vehicle manufacturer’s
warranty.
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.
WARNING
The use of AutoSock (fabric snow chain)
may adversely affect vehicle handling:
ś Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h)
or the chain manufacturer’s
recommended speed limit, whichever
is lower.
ś Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other road
hazards, which may cause the vehicle
to bounce.
ś Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel
braking.
6-62
Driving Your Vehicle
Information
ś Install AutoSock (fabric snow chain)
only in pairs and on the rear tires.
It should be noted that installing
AutoSock (fabric snow chain) on the
tires will provide a greater driving
force, but will not prevent side skids.
ś Do not install studded tires without
first checking local and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
Chain Installation
When installing tire chains, follow the
manuf
actur
er’s instructions and mount
them as tightly possible. Drive slowly
(less than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with
chains installed. If you hear the chains
contacting the body or chassis, stop and
tighten them. If they still make contact,
slow down until the noise stops. Remove
the tire chains as soon as you begin
driving on cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains, park the
vehicle on level ground away from traffic.
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning
Flasher and place a triangular emergency
warning device behind the vehicle (if
available). Always place the vehicle in P
(Park), apply the parking brake and turn
off the vehicle before installing snow
chains.
NOTICE
When using AutoSock (fabric snow
chain):
ś Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage your
vehicle's brake lines, suspension, body
and wheels.
ś If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to prevent contact with the
vehicle body.
ś To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.3-0.6 miles
(0.5-1.0 km).
Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling
system. It is the only type of coolant
that should be used because it helps
prevent corrosion in the cooling system,
lubricates the water pump, and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish
your coolant in accordance with the
maintenance schedule in chapter
9. Before winter, have your coolant
tested to make sure that its freezing
point is sufficient for the temperatures
anticipated during the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in chapter 9. Have
the battery charging level inspected by
an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products or in a service station.
To prevent locks from freezing
Spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes,
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution
Add window washer anti-freeze solution,
as specified on the window washer
container. Window washer anti-freeze
solution is available from an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products,
and most vehicle accessory outlets. Do
not use coolant or other types of anti-
freeze solution, to prevent any damage
to the vehicle paint.
6-63

Do not let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions, your parking
brake may freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of snow
or ice around or near the rear brakes or
the brakes are wet. When there is the
risk that your parking brake may freeze:
temporarily apply the parking brake with
the gear in P (Park), then block the rear
wheels, and then release the parking
brake.
Do not let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice may build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in such conditions during the
severe winter, check underneath the
vehicle on a regular basis, to make sure
that the front wheels and the steering
components are not blocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions,
carry appropriate emergency equipment,
while driving. Some of the items you may
want to carry include tire chains, tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, shovel, jumper cables,
window scraper, gloves, ground cloth,
coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the
motor compartment
Putting objects or materials in the motor
compartment may cause a motor failure.
Such damage is not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.

If you are considering to tow with your
vehicle, you should first your state’s
legal requirements. As laws vary the
requirements for towing trailers, cars,
or other types of vehicles or apparatus
may differ. Ask an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products for further
details before towing.
Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by
itself. Trailering means changes in
handling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering requires
correct equipment, and it has to be used
properly. Damage to your vehicle caused
by improper trailer towing is not covered
by your vehicle manufacturer’s warranty.
This section contains many time-tested,
important trailering tips and safety
rules. Many of these are important for
your safety and that of your passengers.
Please read this section carefully before
you pull a trailer.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
ś If you don’t use the correct equipment
and/or drive improperly, you can
lose control of the vehicle when you
are pulling a trailer. For example, if
the trailer is too heavy, the braking
performance may be reduced.
You and your passengers could be
seriously or fatally injured. Pull a trailer
only if you have followed all the steps
in this section.
ś Before towing, make sure the
total trailer weight, GCW (Gross
Combination Weight), GVW (Gross
Vehicle Weight), GAW (Gross Axle
Weight) and trailer tongue load are all
within the limits.

If You Decide to Pull a Trailer?
Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
ś Consider using a sway control. You
can ask a trailer hitch dealer about
sway control.
ś Do not do any towing with your
vehicle during its first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) in order to allow the motor
to properly break in. Failure to heed
this caution may result in serious
motor or gear damage.
ś When towing a trailer, be sure
to consult an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products for
further information on additional
requirements such as a towing kit, etc.
ś Always drive your vehicle at a
moderate speed (less than 60 mph
(100 km/h)) or posted towing speed
limit.
ś On a long uphill grade, do not exceed
45 mph (70 km/h) or the posted
towing speed limit, whichever is
lower.
ś Carefully observe the weight and load
limits provided in the following pages.
6-65
06
Trailer weight
Tongue Load Total Trailer Weight
OOSH069129L
What is the maximum safe weight of a
trailer? It should never weigh more than
the maximum trailer weight with trailer
brakes. But even that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use your
trailer. For example, speed, altitude,
road grades, outside temperature and
how often your vehicle is used to pull a
trailer are all important. The ideal trailer
weight can also depend on any special
equipment that you have on your vehicle.
Tongue load
Gross Axle Weight Gross Vehicle Weight
OOSH069130L
The tongue load is an important weight
to measure because it affects the
total Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of
your vehicle. The trailer tongue should
weigh a maximum of 10 % of the total
loaded trailer weight, within the limits
of the maximum trailer tongue load
permissible.
After you’ve loaded your trailer,
weigh the trailer and then the tongue,
separately, to see if the weights are
proper. If they aren’t, you may be able
to correct them simply by moving some
items around in the trailer.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
ś Never load a trailer with more weight
in the rear than in the front. The front
should be loaded with about 60 % of
the total trailer load; the rear should
be loaded with about 40 % of the total
trailer load.
ś Never exceed the maximum weight
limits of the trailer or trailer towing
equipment. Improper loading can
result in damage to your vehicle and/
or personal injury. Check weights
and loading at a commercial scale or
highway patrol office equipped with
scales.

Trailer Towing Equipment
Hitches
OJKEV062058L
Information
The mounting hole for hitches are
located on both sides of the underbody
behind the rear tires.
It’s important to have the correct hitch
equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks
going by, and rough roads are a few
reasons why you’ll need the right hitch.
Here are some rules to follow:
ś Do you have to make any holes in
the body of your vehicle when you
install a trailer hitch? If you do, then
be sure to seal the holes later when
you remove the hitch. If you don’t seal
them, dirt and water can get into your
vehicle.
ś The bumpers on your vehicle are not
intended for hitches. Do not attach
rental hitches or other bumper-type
hitches to them. Use only a frame-
mounted hitch that does not attach to
the bumper.
ś Any part of the rear number plate or
lighting devices of the vehicle must
not be obscured by the mechanical
coupling device.
If the rear number plate and/or
lighting devices can be obscured
partially by any part of the mechanical
coupling device, mechanical coupling
devices that can not be easily
removed or repositioned without use
of any tools, except an easily operated
(for example, an effort not exceeding
20Nm) release key which is supplied
by the manufacturer of the coupling
device, are not permitted for use.
Please note that the mechanical
coupling device that is fitted and
not in use must always be removed
or repositioned if the rear number
plate and/or rear lighting devices
are obscured by any part of the
mechanical coupling device.
ś A Genesis Branded Vehicle trailer
hitch accessory is available at an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
6-68
Driving Your Vehicle
Safety chains
Always attach chains between your
vehicle and your trailer.
Instructions about safety chains may
be provided by the hitch manufacturer
or trailer manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation for
attaching safety chains. Always leave just
enough slack so you can turn with your
trailer. And, never allow safety chains to
drag on the ground.
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a braking
system, make sure it conforms to your
state’s regulations and that it is properly
installed and operating correctly.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trailer
brakes loaded, then it needs its own
brakes and they must be adequate. Be
sure to read and follow the instructions
for the trailer brakes so you’ll be able
to install, adjust and maintain them
properly. Be sure not to modify your
vehicle’s brake system.
WARNING
Do not use a trailer with its own brakes
unless you are absolutely certain that you
have properly set up the brake system.
This is not a task for amateurs. Use an
experienced, competent trailer shop for
this work.
Driving with a Trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you must get to
know your trailer. Acquaint yourself with
the feel of handling and braking with the
added weight of the trailer. And always
keep in mind that the vehicle you are
driving is now longer and not nearly as
responsive as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch
and platform, safety chains, electrical
connector(s), lights, tires and brakes.
During your trip, occasionally check
to be sure that the load is secure, and
that the lights and trailer brakes are still
working.
Information
When the ambient temperature is lower
than 32 °F (0 °C) and the remaining high
voltage battery is low, the power of the
vehicle with a trailer can be dropped,
causing a trouble in acceleration or drop
of the speed when driving hills.
When driving with a trailer, be sure to
charge the high voltage battery more
than 50 % if the ambient temperature is
lower than 32 °F (0 °C).
Information
When towing a trailer, select COMFORT
mode as drive mode.
6-69
06
Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when driving
your vehicle without a trailer. This can
help you avoid situations that require
heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You will need more passing distance up
ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And,
because of the increased vehicle length,
you’ll need to go much farther beyond
the passed vehicle before you can return
to your lane.
Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. Then, to move the trailer
to the left, move your hand to the left. To
move the trailer to the right, move your
hand to the right. Always back up slowly
and, if possible, have someone guide
you.
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make
wider turns than normal. Do this so your
trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs,
road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid
jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in
advance.
Turn signals
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has
to have a different turn signal flasher and
extra wiring. The green arrows on your
instrument panel will flash whenever you
signal a turn or lane change. Properly
connected, the trailer lights will also flash
to alert other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows
on your instrument panel will flash for
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer
are burned out. Thus, you may think
drivers behind you are seeing your
signals when, in fact, they are not. It’s
important to check occasionally to be
sure the trailer bulbs are still working.
You must also check the lights every time
you disconnect and then reconnect the
wires.
WARNING
Do not connect a trailer lighting system

Driving on hills
Reduce speed before you start down a
long or steep downgrade.
On a long uphill grade, reduce your
speed to around 45 mph (70 km/h)
to reduce the possibility of motor
overheating.
6-70
Driving Your Vehicle
NOTICE
To prevent motor overheating:
ś If you tow a trailer with the maximum
gross vehicle weight and maximum
trailer weight, it can cause the
motor to overheat. When driving in
such conditions, allow the motor
to idle until it cools down. You may
proceed once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
ś When towing a trailer, your vehicle
speed may be much slower than the
general flow of traffic, especially when
climbing an uphill grade. Use the right
hand lane when towing a trailer on
an uphill grade. Choose your vehicle
speed according to the maximum
posted speed limit for vehicles with
trailers, the steepness of the grade,
and your trailer weight.
Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer attached
to your vehicle, you should not park your
vehicle on a hill.
However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here’s how to do it:
1. Pull the vehicle into the parking space.
Turn the steering wheel in the
direction of the curb (right if headed
down hill, left if headed up hill).
2. Shift the gear to P (Park).
3. Set the parking brake and shut off the
vehicle.
4. Place wheel chocks under the trailer
wheels on the down hill side of the
wheels.
5. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes, shift
to neutral, release the parking brake
and slowly release the brakes until the
trailer chocks absorb the load.
6. Reapply the brakes and parking
brakes.
7. Shift the gear to P (Park).
8. Shut off the vehicle and release the
vehicle brakes but leave the parking
brake set.
WARNING
To prevent serious or fatal injury:
ś Do not get out of the vehicle
without the parking brake firmly
set. If you have left the vehicle on
(
indicator on), the vehicle can
move suddenly. You and others could
be seriously or fatally injured.
ś Do not apply the accelerator pedal to
hold the vehicle on an uphill.
6-71
06
Driving the vehicle after it has been
parked on a hill
1. With the gear in P (Park), apply your
brakes and hold the brake pedal down
while you:
śStart your vehicle;
śShift into gear; and
śRelease the parking brake.
2. Slowly remove your foot from the
brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of
the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and
store the chocks.
Maintenance When Towing a
Trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular
attention to include gear fluid, axle
lubricant and cooling system fluid. Brake
condition is another important item to
frequently check. If you’re trailering,
it’s a good idea to review these items
before you start your trip. Don’t forget
to also maintain your trailer and hitch.
Follow the maintenance schedule that
accompanied your trailer and check it
periodically. Preferably, conduct the
check at the start of each day’s driving.
Most importantly, all hitch nuts and bolts
should be tight.
NOTICE
To prevent vehicle damage:
ś Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur on
hot days or during uphill driving.
ś When towing check gear fluid more
frequently.

Driving Your Vehicle
Two labels on your driver’s door sill
show how much weight your vehicle
was designed to carry: the Tire and
Loading Information Label and the
Certification Label.
Before loading your vehicle,
familiarize yourself with the
following terms for determining
your vehicle’s weight ratings, from
the vehicle’s specifications and the
Certification Label:
Base curb weigh
t
This is the weight of the vehicle
including a full tank of fuel and
all s
tandard equipment. It does
not include passengers, cargo, or
optional equipment.
Vehicle curb weight
This is the weight of your new
vehicle when y
ou picked it up from
your dealer plus any aftermarket
equipment.
Cargo weight
This figure includes all weight added
to the Base Curb W
eight, including
cargo and optional equipment.
GAW (Gross Axle Weight)
This is the total weight placed on
each axle (fr
ont and rear) - including
vehicle curb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum allowable
weight tha
t can be carried by a single
axle (front or rear). These numbers
are shown on the Certification Label.
The total load on each axle must
never exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)
This is the Base Curb Weight
plus actual Car
go W
eight plus
passengers.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum allowable
weight o
f the fully loaded vehicle
(including all options, equipment,
passengers and cargo). The GVWR
is shown on the Certification Label
located on the driver’s door sill.
7KH/RDGLQJ,QIRUPDWLRQ/DEHO
OJKEV062069N
The label located on the driver’s door
sill gives the original tire size, cold
tire pressures recommended for your
vehicle, the number of people that
can be in your vehicle and vehicle
capacity weight.
9(+,&/(/2$'/,0,7
6-73
06
Vehicle capacity weight
5 persons: 882 lbs. (400 kg)
Vehicle capacity w
eight is the
maximum combined weight of
occupants and cargo. If your
vehicle is equipped with a trailer,
the combined weight includes the
tongue load.
Seating capacity
Total: 5 persons (Front seat: 2
persons, Rear seat: 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum
number of occupants including
a driver, your vehicle may carry.
However, the seating capacity may
be reduced based upon the weight
of all of the occupants, and the
weight of the cargo being carried or
towed. Do not overload the vehicle
as there is a limit to the total weight,
or load limit including occupants and
cargo, the vehicle can carry.
Towing capacity
With trailer brakes: 3500 lbs. (1588
kg
) Without trailer brakes: 1653 lbs.
(750 kg)
Towing capacity is the maximum
trailer weight including its cargo
weight, your vehicle can tow.
Cargo capacity
The cargo capacity of your vehicle
will increase or decr
ease depending
on the weight and the number of
occupants and the tongue load,
if your vehicle is equipped with a
trailer.
Steps for determining correct load
limit
1. Locate the statement "The
combined weight o
f occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX lbs. or XXX kg" on your
vehicle's placard.
2. Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
XXX lbs. or XXX kg.
4. The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity. For
example, if the "XXX" amount
equals 1400 lbs. and there will
be five 150 lb passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity
is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) =
650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle.
6-74
Driving Your Vehicle
WARNING
Do not overload the vehicle as there is a limit to the total weight, or load limit,
including occupants and cargo, the vehicle can carry. Overloading can shorten
the life of the vehicle. If the GVWR or the GAWR is exceeded, parts on the
vehicle can be broken, and it can change the handling of your vehicle. These
could cause you to lose control and result in an accident.

Certification label
OBH059070
The certification label is located on
the driver's door sill at the center
pillar and shows the maximum
allowable weight of the fully loaded
vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, fuel and
cargo.
This label also tells you the maximum
weight that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
The total weight of the vehicle,
including all occupants, accessories,
cargo, and trailer tongue load must
not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on your front and
rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Be
sure to spread out your load equally
on both sides of the centerline.
WARNING
Overloading
ś Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle
capacity weight. Exceeding these
ratings can affect your vehicle's
handling and braking ability, and
cause an accident.
ś Do not overload your vehicle.
Overloading your vehicle can
cause heat buildup in your
vehicle's tires and possible
tire failure, increased stopping
distances and poor vehicle
handling-all of which may result in
a collision.
NOTICE
Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Do not
overload your vehicle.
WARNING
If you carry items inside your vehicle
(for example, suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else), they
are moving as fast as the vehicle. If
you have to stop or turn quickly, or if
there is a crash, the items will keep
going and can cause an injury if they
strike the driver or a passenger.
ś Put items in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
ś Do not stack items like suitcase
inside the vehicle above the tops
of the seats.
ś Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
ś When you carry something inside
the vehicle, secure it.

Emergency Situations
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tire failure
that may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on
a significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating
properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for about one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
NOTICE
If any of the below happens, have the
system checked by an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.
1. The Low Tire Pressure Telltale/ TPMS
Malfunction Indicator does not
illuminate for 3 seconds when the

Low Tire Pressure
Warning Light
Low Tire Pressure Position and
Tire Pressure Telltale
OJKEV082025L
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are
illuminated and a warning message
displayed on the cluster display, one
or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. The Low Tire Pressure
Position Telltale will indicate which
tire is significantly underinflated by
illuminating the corresponding position
light.
If either telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping
distances. You should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible. Inflate the
tires to the proper pressure as indicated
on the vehicle’s placard or tire inflation
pressure label located on the driver’s
side center pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station or
if the tire cannot hold the newly added
air, replace the low pressure tire with the
spare tire (if equipped).
The Low Tire Pressure Telltale will remain
on and the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
may blink for one minute and then
remain illuminated (when the vehicle is
driven about 10 minutes at speed above
15.5 mph (25 km/h)) until you have the
low pressure tire repaired and replaced
on the vehicle.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale may be illuminated if
the tire pressure was adjusted to the
recommended tire inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not mean
your TPMS is malfunctioning because
the decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a cold
area to a warm area, or the outside
temperature is greatly higher or lower,
you should check the tire inflation
pressure and adjust the tires to the
recommended tire inflation pressure.
WARNING
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contribute
to loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires
can cause the tires to overheat and fail.
8-10
Emergency Situations
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
Malfunction Indicator
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for about one
minute when there is a problem with the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Have the system inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products as soon as possible.
NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the TPMS,
the Low Tire Pressure Position Telltale
will not be displayed even though the
vehicle has an under-inflated tire.
NOTICE
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator may
illuminate after blinking for one minute if
the vehicle is near electric power supply
cables or radio transmitters such as
police stations, government and public
offices, broadcasting stations, military
installations, airports, transmitting
towers, etc.
Additionally, the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may illuminate if snow chains
are used or electronic devices such as
computers, chargers, remote starters,
navigation, etc. This may interfere with
normal operation of the TPMS.
Changing a Tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. Have the flat tire be repaired
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products as soon as possible or
replace the flat tire with the spare tire (if
equipped).
NOTICE
It is recommended that you do not use a
puncture-repairing agent not approved
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle to repair and/
or inflate a low pressure tire. Tire sealant
not approved by an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products or the
equivalent specified for your vehicle may
damage the tire pressure sensor.
The spare tire (if equipped) does not
come with a tire pressure monitoring
sensor. When the low pressure tire or the
flat tire is replaced with the spare tire,
the Low Tire Pressure Telltale will remain
on. Also, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will illuminate after blinking for one
minute if the vehicle is driven at speed
above 15.5 mph (25 km/h) for about 10
minutes.
Once the original wheel equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring sensor is
reinflated to the recommended pressure
and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
Low Tire Pressure Telltale and TPMS
Malfunction Indicator will go off within a
few minutes of driving.
8-11
08
If the indicators do not extinguish after
a few minutes, consult an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the tire
behind the valve stem (except for the
spare tire). You must use TPMS specific
wheels. Have your tires serviced by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
You may not be able to identify a tire
with low pressure by simply looking at it.
Always use a good quality tire pressure
gauge to measure. Please note that a tire
that is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a tire
that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
WARNING
ś The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused by
external factors such as nails or road
debris.
ś If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off the
accelerator pedal, apply the brakes
gradually with light force, and slowly
move to a safe position off the road.
WARNING
Tampering with, modifying, or disabling
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may interfere with
the system’s ability to warn the driver of
low tire pressure conditions and/or TPMS
malfunctions and may void the warranty.
WARNING
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following three conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired

For safe operation, carefully read and
follow the instructions in this manual
before use.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
The tire mobility kit is a temporary fix to
the tire, have the tire inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products or the equivalent approved for
your vehicle as soon as possible.
CAUTION
When two or more tires are flat, do not
use the tire mobility kit because the
sealant provided with the Tire Mobility
Kit must be used for only one flat tire.
WARNING
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to repair
punctures in the tire walls. This can result
in an accident due to tire failure.
WARNING
Have your tire repaired as soon as
possible. The tire may lose air pressure
at any time after inflating with the Tire
Mobility Kit.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you can stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture.
The compressor and sealing compound
system effectively and comfortably seals
most punctures in a passenger car tire
caused by nails or similar objects and
reinflates the tire.
After you ensure that the tire is properly
sealed you can drive cautiously on the
tire (distance up to 120 miles (200 km))
at a max. speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) in
order to reach a service station or tire
dealer for the tire replacement.
It is possible that some tires, especially
with larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may adversely
affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid abrupt
steering or other driving maneuvers,
especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded
or if a trailer is in use.
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.

COOLANT
OJKEV091002
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen or
deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between the MAX or F and the MIN
or L marks on the side of the coolant
reservoir when the parts in the motor
compartment is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water mixed with
antifreeze to bring the level to the MAX
mark. If frequent additions are required,
contact an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
WARNING
Keep hands, clothing, and tools
away from the rotating fan
blades of the cooling fan.
The cooling fan may continue
to operate even though the
vehicle is turned off and can
cause serious injury.
The electric motor for the cooling
fan is controlled by vehicle coolant
temperature, refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed. As the vehicle coolant
temperature decreases, the electric
motor will automatically shut off.
WARNING
ś
Check the coolant level when
the motor compartment
is cooled. Coolant level is
influenced by temperature,
and if the coolant reservoir
cap is removed when coolant
temperature is high, hot
coolant and steam may blow
out under pressure causing
serious injury.
ś Make sure the coolant cap is properly
closed after refilling coolant.
Otherwise the motor could be
overheated while driving.

Recommended coolant
ś When adding coolant, use only
deionized water, distilled water, or soft
water for your vehicle and never mix
hard water in the coolant filled at the
factory.
ś An incorrect coolant mixture may
result in severe malfunction or motor
damage.
ś Do not use alcohol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the specified
coolant.
ś Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60 % antifreeze or less than
35 % antifreeze, which could reduce
the effectiveness of the solution.
For mixing percentage, refer to the
following table:
Ambient

Maintenance
WARNING
Tire failure may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
To reduce risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH, take the following
precautions:
ś Inspect your tires monthly for
proper inflation as well as wear
and damage.
ś The recommended cold tire
pressure for your vehicle can be
found in this manual and on the
tire label located on the driver’s
side center pillar. Always use a tire
pressure gauge to measure tire
pressure. Tires with too much or
too little pressure wear unevenly
causing poor handling.
ś Check the pressure of the spare(if
equipped) every time you check
the pressure of the other tires on
your vehicle.
ś Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of
braking effectiveness, steering
control, or traction.
ś ALWAYS replace tires with the
same size, type, construction and
tread pattern as each tire that
was originally supplied with this
vehicle. Using tires and wheels
other than the recommended
sizes could cause unusual
handling characteristics, poor
vehicle control, or negatively
affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) resulting in a
serious accident.
Tire Care
For proper maintenance, safety,
and maximum electric energy
economy, you must always maintain
recommended tire inflation
pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
OJKEV011025L
All specifications (sizes and
pressures) can be found on a label
attached to the driver’s side center
pillar.
Recommended Cold Tire
Inflation Pressures
All tire pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tires are cold. “Cold tires” means the
vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than
one mile (1.6 km).
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire pressures
by 4 to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not
release air from warm tires to adjust
the pressure or the tires will be
under-inflated. For recommended
inflation pressure, refer to the “Tire
and Wheels” section in chapter 2.
TIRES AND WHEELS
9-25
09
WARNING
ś Recommended pressures must
be maintained for the best ride,
vehicle handling, and minimum
tire wear.
ś Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and lead
to sudden tire failure that may
result in loss of vehicle control
resulting in a collision.
ś Severe under-inflation may lead
to severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation, and
other tire failures that result in loss
of vehicle control resulting in a
collision. This risk is much higher
on hot days and when driving for a
long time at high speeds.
ś Under-inflation may cause
excessive wear, poor handling,
and reduced fuel economy. Wheel
deformation is also possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
ś Over-inflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the center
of the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Check Tire Inflation Pressure
Check your tires, including the spare
tire (if equipped), once a month or
more.
How to check
Use a good quality tire pressure
gauge to check tir
e pressure. You
can not tell if your tires are properly
inflated simply by looking at them.
Radial tires may look properly
inflated when they are under-
inflated.
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve stem. Press the tire gauge
firmly onto the valve to get a
pressure measurement. If the cold
tire inflation pressure matches the
recommended pressure on the tire
and loading information label, no
further adjustment is necessary. If
the pressure is low, add air until you
reach the recommended pressure.
Make sure to put the valve caps
back on the valve stems. Without
the valve cap, dirt or moisture could
get into the valve core and cause
air leakage. If a valve cap is missing,
install a new one as soon as possible.
If you overfill the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the
center of the tire valve. Recheck the
tire pressure with the tire gauge. Be
sure to put the valve caps back on
the valve stems. Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could get into
the valve core and cause air leakage.
If a valve cap is missing, install a new
one as soon as possible.
9-26
Maintenance
Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, Genesis
Branded Vehicle recommends that
the tires be rotated according to the
maintenance schedule or sooner if
irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tires for
correct balance.
When rotating tires, check for
uneven wear and damage. Abnormal
wear is usually caused by incorrect
tire pressure, improper wheel
alignment, out-of-balance wheels,
severe braking or severe cornering.
Look for bumps or bulges in the
tread or side of the tire. Replace
the tire if you find any of these
conditions. Replace the tire if fabric
or cord is visible. After rotation, be
sure to bring the front and rear tire
pressures to specification and check
wheel bolt tightness (proper torque
is 101-116 lbf.ft [14-16 kgf.m]).
OJKEV092011R
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are rotated.
Information
When installing an unsymmetrical
tire, install the side marked “outside”
facing out.
WARNING
ś Do not use the compact spare tire
for tire rotation.
ś Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in
an collision.
Wheel Alignment and Tire
Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
NOTICE
Only use approved wheel weights or
your vehicle’s aluminum wheels may
be damaged.

Tire Replacement
ORS091057
[A]: Tread wear indicator
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there
is less than 1/16 inches (1.6 mm) of
tread left on the tire. Replace the tire
when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before
replacing the tire.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY:
ś Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of
braking effectiveness, steering
control, and traction.
ś Always replace tires with the same
size as each tire that was originally
supplied with this vehicle. Using
tires and wheels other than the
recommended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteristics,
poor vehicle control, or negatively
affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) resulting in a
serious accident.
ś When replacing tires (or wheels),
it is recommended to replace
the two front or two rear tires (or
wheels) as a pair. Replacing just
one tire can seriously affect your
vehicle’s handling.
ś Tires degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, Genesis Branded Vehicle
recommends that tires be
replaced after six (6) years of
normal service.
ś Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading conditions
can accelerate the aging process.
Failure to follow this warning may
cause sudden tire failure, which
could lead to a loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
Compact spare tire (if equipped)
r
eplacemen
t
A compact spare tire has a shorter
tread lif
e than a regular size tire.
Replace it when you can see the
tread wear indicator bars on the tire.
The replacement compact spare tire
should be the same size and design
tire as the one provided with your
new vehicle and should be mounted
on the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is
not designed to be mounted on a
regular size wheel, and the compact
spare tire wheel is not designed for
mounting a regular size tire.

The original tire should be repaired
or replaced as soon as possible
to avoid failure of the spare (if
equipped) and loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident. The
compact spare tire (if equipped)
is for emergency use only. Do not
operate your vehicle over 50 mph
(80 km/h) when using the compact
spare tire.
Wheel Replacement
When replacing the metal wheels
for any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width,
and offset.
Tire Traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tires should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. To reduce the possibility of
losing control, slow down whenever
there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
Tire Maintenance
In addition to proper inflation,
correct wheel alignment helps to
decrease tire wear. If you find a tire
is worn unevenly, have your dealer
check the wheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort
and tire life. Additionally, a tire
should always be rebalanced if it is
removed from the wheel.
Tire Sidewall Labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental
characteristics of the tire and also
provides the tire identification
number (TIN) for safety standard
certification. The TIN can be used to
identify the tire in case of a recall.
ORS091058

3. Checking tire life (TIN: Tire
Identification Number)
Any tires that are over six years old,
based on the manufacturing da
te,
(including the spare tire) should be
replaced by new ones. You can find
the manufacturing date on the tire
sidewall (possibly on the inside of
the wheel), displaying the DOT Code.
The DOT Code is a series of numbers
on a tire consisting of numbers and
English letters. The manufacturing
date is designated by the last four
digits (characters) of the DOT code.
DOT: XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT shows a
plant code number, tire size and
tread pattern and the last four
numbers indicate week and year
manufactured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 5222 represents that
the tire was produced in the 52nd
week of 2022.
4. Genesis exclusive tire
Genesis Branded Vehicle
r
ecommends tha
t tires designed
specifically for Genesis vehicles
be used. You may find the marking
“GOE” (Genesis Original Equipment)
embossed on the tire sidewall.
5. Tire ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of
rubber-coa
ted fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tire, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
The letter “R” means radial ply
construction; the letter “D“ means
diagonal or bias ply construction;
and the letter “B” means belted-bias
ply construction.
6. Maximum permissible inflation
pressur
e
This number is the greatest amount
of air pr
essure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tire and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation
pressure.
7. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds tha
t
can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
8. DOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S
Vehicles
)
The tires on your vehicle meet all
U.S. F
ederal Safety Requirements.
All tires are also graded for
treadwear, traction, and temperature
performance according to
Department of Transportation (DOT)
standards.
Uniform tire quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire side
wall
between tread shoulder and
maximum section width.
For example:
TREADWEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
9-31
09
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a
compara
tive rating based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one-and-a-half times (1½) as
well on the government course as a
tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest
t
o lo
west, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces
of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction
performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on straight ahead
braking traction tests, and does not
include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highes
t
), B and C representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation
of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excessive temperature can
lead to sudden tire failure. Grades
B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required
by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this
tire is established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, under-inflation,
over-inflation, or excessive loading,
either separately or in combination,
can cause heat build-up and possible
sudden tire failure. This may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

All Season Tires
Genesis Branded Vehicle specifies
all season tires on some models to
provide good performance for use
all year round, including snowy and
icy road conditions. All season tires
are identified by ALL SEASON and/
or M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire
sidewall. Snow tires have better
snow traction than all season tires
and may be more appropriate in
some areas.
Summer Tires
Genesis Branded Vehicle specifies
summer tires on some models to
provide superior performance on dry
roads. Summer tire performance is
substantially reduced in snow and
ice. Summer tires do not have the
tire traction rating M+S (Mud and
Snow) on the tire side wall. If you
plan to operate your vehicle in snowy
or icy conditions, Genesis Branded
Vehicle recommends the use of
snow tires or all season tires on all
four wheels.
Snow Tires
If you equip your car with snow
tires, they should be the same size
and have the same load capacity as
the original tires. Snow tires should
be installed on all four wheels;
otherwise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard
tires on the tire label on the driver’s
side of the center pillar, or up to the
maximum pressure shown on the tire
sidewall, whichever is less. Do not
drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your vehicle is equipped with
snow tires.
9-36
Maintenance
Radial-Ply Tires
Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance
and smoother high speed ride. The
radial-ply tires used on this vehicle
are of belted construction, and are
selected to complement the ride
and handling characteristics of
your vehicle. Radial-ply tires have
the same load carrying capacity,
as bias-ply or bias belted tires of
the same size, and use the same
recommended inflation pressure.
Mixing of radial-ply tires with
bias-ply or bias belted tires is not
recommended. Any combinations of
radial-ply and bias-ply or bias belted
tires when used on the same vehicle
will seriously deteriorate vehicle
handling. The best rule to follow
is: Identical pairs of radial-ply tires
should always be used as a set for
the front tires and a set for the rear
tires.
Longer wearing tires can be more
susceptible to irregular tread wear.
It is very important to follow the tire
rotation interval in this chapter to
achieve the tread life potential of
these tires. Cuts and punctures in
radial-ply tires are repairable only in
the tread area, because of sidewall
flexing. Consult your tire dealer for
radial-ply tire repairs.
WARNING
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Low Aspect Ratio Tires
(if equipped)
The aspect ratio is lower than 50 on
low aspect ratio tires.
Because low aspect ratio tires are
optimized for handling and braking,
their sidewall is a little stiffer than
a standard tire. Also low aspect
ratio tires tend to be wider and
consequently have increased contact
with the road surface. In some
instances, low aspect ratio tires may
generate more road noise compared
with standard tires.
NOTICE
Low-aspect wheels and tires are
easily damaged. To reduce the risk of
damage:
ś When driving on rough roads,
passing over a pothole, speed
bump, manhole, or curb stone,
drive the vehicle slowly not to
damage the tires and wheels.
Damage is not covered by your
vehicle warranty.
ś Inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 8,000 miles
(13,000 km).
ś It is difficult to visually inspect
for tire damage with your eyes.
If any damage is found, contact
your authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products to replace the
tire.

Consult an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products to replace
most vehicle light bulbs. It is difficult
to replace vehicle light bulbs because
other parts of the vehicle must be
removed before you can get to the bulb.
This is especially true for removing the
headlight assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to the
vehicle.
WARNING
ś Prior to replacing a light bulb, depress
the brake pedal, shift to P (Park),
apply the parking brake, press the
Start/Stop button to the OFF position,
and take the key with you when
leaving the vehicle to avoid sudden
movement of the vehicle and to
prevent possible electric shock.
ś Be aware the bulbs may be hot and
may burn your fingers.
NOTICE
Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb
with one of the same wattage to prevent
damage to the fuse or electrical wiring
system.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, do not clean the
headlight lens with chemical solvents or
strong detergents.
Information - Headlight
desiccant
This vehicle is equipped with desiccant
to reduce fogging inside the headlight
due to moisture. The desiccant is
consumable and its performance may
change based on the used period or
environment. If fogging inside the
headlight due to moisture continues for a
long time, contact an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.
Information
The headlight and tail light lenses could
appear to have condensation inside if
the vehicle is washed after driving or
if the vehicle is driven in wet weather.
This condition is caused by a higher
temperature inside the light and a cooler
outside temperature. Moisture that
condenses in the light is removed after
driving with the light on. If the moisture
is not removed, contact an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Information
ś A normally functioning light may
flicker momentarily to stabilize the
vehicle’s electrical control system.
However, if the light goes out after
flickering momentarily, or continues
to flicker, have the system inspected
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
ś The parking light may not turn on
when the parking light switch is
turned on, but the parking light and
headlight switch may turn on when
the headlight switch is turned on. This
may be caused by network failure
or vehicle electrical control system
malfunction. If this occurs, contact an

vehicle’s exterior plastic parts such as a
bumper, spoiler, garnish, light or Outer
side view mirror might be damaged
due to sunlight reflected from the sign
or building. To prevent damage of the
exterior plastic parts, you should avoid
parking in areas where light may be
reflected or use a car cover. (The exterior
plastic parts applied to your vehicle may
vary.)
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from
rust and de
terioration, wash it thoroughly
and frequently at least once a month
with lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to the
removal of any accumulation of salt, dirt,
mud, and other foreign materials. Make
sure the drain holes in the lower edges
of the doors and rocker panels are kept
clear and clean.

Maintenance
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, should be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle
thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.
High-pressure washing
ś When using high-pr
essur
e washers,
make sure to maintain sufficient
distance from the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive
pressure can lead to component
damage or water penetration.
ś Do not spray the camera, sensors or
its surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock applied
from high pressure water may cause
the device to not operate normally.
ś Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be damaged
if they come into contact with high
pressure water.
WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test the brakes
while driving slowly to see if they have
been affected by water before getting
on the road. If braking performance is
impaired, dry the brakes by applying
them lightly while maintaining a slow
forward speed.
NOTICE
ś Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents or hot water, and do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or
when the body of the vehicle is warm.
ś Be careful when washing the side
windows of your vehicle.
ś Especially, with high-pressure water,
water may leak through the windows
and wet the interior.
ś To prevent damage to the plastic
parts, do not clean with chemical
solvents or strong detergents.
NOTICE
OJKEV091028
ś Water washing in the motor
compartment including high pressure
water washing may cause the failure
of electrical circuits located in the

NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
Automatic car wash which uses rotating
brushes should not be used as this can
damage the surface of your vehicle. A
steam cleaner which washes the vehicle
surface at high temperature may result
the oil to adhere and leave stains that is
difficult to remove.
Use a soft cloth (for example, microfiber
towel or sponge) when washing your
vehicle and dry with a microfiber towel.
When you hand wash your vehicle, you
should not use a cleaner that finishes
with wax. If the vehicle surface is too
dirty (sand, dirt, dust, contaminant, etc.),
clean the surface with water before
washing the car.
Waxing
A good coat of wax is a barrier between
y
our paint and con
taminate. Keeping
a good coat of wax on your vehicle will
help protect it.
Wax the vehicle when water will no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect
it and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials
with a spot remover will usually strip the
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle
does not yet need waxing.
NOTICE
ś Wiping dust or dirt off the body with a
dry cloth will scratch the finish.
ś Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chrome-plated or anodized
aluminum parts. This may result in
damage to the protective coating
and cause discoloration or paint
deterioration.
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
Do not use any polish protector such as
a detergent, an abrasive and a polish.
In case wax is applied, remove the wax
immediately using a silicon remover
and if any tar or tar contaminant is on
the surface use a tar remover to clean.
However, be careful not to apply too
much pressure on the painted area.
Finish damage repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly
rust and may develop into a major repair
expense.
NOTICE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
any metal repair or replacement, be sure
the body shop applies anti-corrosion
materials to the parts repaired or
replaced.
9-58
Maintenance
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
In case of matte paint finish vehicles, it is
impossible to modify only the damaged
area and repair of the whole part is
necessary. If the vehicle is damaged
and painting is required, have your
vehicle maintained and repaired by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products. Take extreme care, as it is
difficult to restore the quality after the
repair.
Bright-metal maintenance
ś To remove road tar and insects, use
a tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
ś To protect the surfaces of brightmetal
parts from corrosion, apply a coating
of wax or chrome preservative and rub
to a high luster.
ś During winter weather or in coastal
areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, accelerated
rusting can occur on underbody parts
such as the frame and floor pan, even
though they have been treated with rust
protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody
and wheel openings with lukewarm or
cold water once a month, after off-road
driving and at the end of each winter. Pay
special attention to these areas because
it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt.
It will do more harm than good to wet
down the road grime without removing
it. The lower edges of doors, rocker
panels, and frame members have drain
holes that should not be allowed to clog
with dirt; trapped water in these areas
can cause rusting.
WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired, dry the
brakes by applying them lightly while
maintaining a slow forward speed.

Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated with a
clear protective finish.
ś Do not use abrasive cleaner, polishing
compound, solvent, or wire brushes
on aluminum wheels.
ś Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
ś Use only a mild soap or neutral
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
water. Also, clean the wheels after
driving on salted roads.
ś Do not wash the wheels with high-
speed car wash brushes.
ś Do not use any cleaners containing
acid or alkaline detergents.
Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion
By using the most advanced design
and construction pr
actices to combat
corrosion, GENESIS produces vehicles of
the highest quality. However, this is only
part of the job. To achieve the long-term
corrosion resistance your vehicle can
deliver, the owner’s cooperation and
assistance is also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion
on y
our v
ehicle are:
ś Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath
the vehicle.
ś Removal of paint or protective
coatings by stones, gravel, abrasion
or minor scrapes and dents which
leave unprotected metal exposed to
corrosion.
High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your vehicle is
r
egularly e
xposed to corrosive materials,
corrosion protection is particularly
important. Some of the common causes
of accelerated corrosion are road salts,
dust control chemicals, ocean air and
industrial pollution.
Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in
which corr
osion is mos
t likely to occur.
For example, corrosion is accelerated
by high humidity, particularly when
temperatures are just above freezing. In
such conditions, the corrosive material is
kept in contact with the vehicle surfaces
by moisture that is slow to evaporate.
Mud is particularly corrosive because
it is slow to dry and holds moisture in
contact with the vehicle. Although the
mud appears to be dry, it can still retain
moisture and promote corrosion.
High temperatures can also accelerate
corrosion of parts that are not properly
ventilated so the moisture can be
dispersed. For all these reasons, it is
particularly important to keep your
vehicle clean and free of mud or
accumulations of other materials. This
applies not only to the visible surfaces
but particularly to the underside of the
vehicle.
9-60
Maintenance
To help prevent corrosion
Keep your vehicle clean
The best w
ay to prevent corrosion is
to keep your vehicle clean and free of
corrosive materials. Attention to the
underside of the vehicle is particularly
important.
ś If you live in a high-corrosion area —
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas with industrial pollution,
acid rain, etc., —, you should take
extra care to prevent corrosion. In
winter, hose off the underside of
your vehicle at least once a month
and be sure to clean the underside
thoroughly when winter is over.
ś When cleaning underneath the
vehicle, pay particular attention to the
components under the fenders and
other areas that are hidden from view.
Do a thorough job; just dampening
the accumulated mud rather than
washing it away will accelerate
corrosion rather than prevent it. Water
under high pressure and steam are
particularly effective in removing
accumulated mud and corrosive
materials.
ś When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members, be
sure that drain holes are kept open so
that moisture can escape and not be
trapped inside to accelerate corrosion.
Keep your garage dry
Don’t park your vehicle in a damp,
poorly ventilated garage. This creates
a favorable environment for corrosion.
This is particularly true if you wash your
vehicle in the garage or drive it into the
garage when it is still wet or covered with
snow, ice or mud. Even a heated garage
can contribute to corrosion unless it is
well ventilated so moisture is dispersed.
Keep paint and trim in good condition
Scratches or chips in the finish should
be covered with “touch-up” paint as
soon as possible to reduce the possibility
of corrosion. If bare metal is showing
through, the attention of a qualified body
and paint shop is recommended.
Bird droppings are highly corrosive and
may damage painted surfaces in just a
few hours. Always remove bird droppings
as soon as possible.
Interior Care
Interior general precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as
perfume and cosmetic oil, from
contacting the interior parts because
they may cause damage or discoloration.
If they do contact the interior parts,
wipe them off immediately. See the
instructions for the proper way to clean
vehicle interior surfaces.
9-61
09
NOTICE
ś Never allow water or other liquids
to come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the
vehicle as this may damage them.
ś When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use
neutral detergents or low alcohol
content solutions. If you use high
alcohol content solutions or acid/
alkaline detergents, the color of the
leather may fade or the surface may
get stripped off.
Cleaning the upholstery and interior
trim
Vehicle interior surfaces (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from interior
surfaces with a whisk br
oom or a vacuum
cleaner.
If necessary, clean interior surfaces with
a mixture of warm water and mild non-
detergent cleaner (test all cleaners on a
concealed area before use).
Fabric (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from
f
abric with a whisk br
oom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solution
recommended for upholstery or carpets.
Remove fresh spots immediately with
a fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do
not receive immediate attention, the
fabric can be stained and its color can be
affected. Also, its fire-resistant properties
can be reduced if the material is not
properly maintained.
NOTICE
Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect the
fabric’s appearance and fire-resistant
properties.
Leather (if equipped)
ś Features of seat leather
- Leather is made from the outer skin
of an animal, which goes through a
special process to be available for
use. Since it is a natural product,
each part differs in thickness or
density.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural
result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature and
humidity.
- The seat is made of stretchable
fabric to improve comfort.
- The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting
area is high which provides driving
comfort and stability.
- Wrinkles may appear naturally
from usage. It is not a fault of the
products.
NOTICE
ś Wrinkles or abrasions which appear
naturally from usage are not covered
by warranty.
ś Belts with metallic accessories,
zippers or keys inside the back pocket
may damage the seat fabric.
ś Make sure not to wet the seat. It may
change the nature of natural leather.
ś Jeans or clothes which could bleach
may contaminate the surface of the
seat covering fabric.
9-62
Maintenance
ś Caring for the leather seats
- Vacuum the seat periodically to
remove dust and sand on the seat. It
will prevent abrasion or damage of
the leather and maintain its quality.
- Wipe the natural leather seat cover
often with dry or soft cloth.
- Use of proper leather protector may
prevent abrasion of the cover and
helps maintain the color. Be sure to
read the instructions and consult
a specialist when using leather
coating or protective agent.
- Light colored (beige, cream beige)
leather is easily contaminated and
the stain is noticeable. Clean the
seats frequently.
- Avoid wiping with wet cloth. It may
cause the surface to crack.
ś Cleaning the leather seats
- Remove all contaminations
instantly. Refer to instructions below
for removal of each contaminant.
- Cosmetic products (sunscreen,
foundation, etc.)
Apply cleansing cream on a cloth
and wipe the contaminated spot.
Wipe off the cream with a wet cloth
and remove water with a dry cloth.
- Beverages (coffee, soft drink, etc.)
Apply a small amount of neutral
detergent and wipe until
contaminations do not smear.
- Oil
Remove oil instantly with
absorbable cloth and wipe with
stain remover used only for natural
leather.
- Chewing gum
Harden the gum with ice and
remove gradually.
Interior wooden trim
ś Use a wooden furniture protector (for
example, wax, coating compound) to
clean the interior wooden trim.
ś Often wipe the interior wooden
trim with a lint-free, clean cloth to
maintain the unique wooden textures
for a longer period of time.
ś If you spill beverage (for example,
water, coffee) over the interior
wooden trim, immediately wipe it with
clean, dry cloth.
ś Sharp objects (for example, driver,
knife), adhesive materials, or tapes
may damage the interior wooden trim.
ś Any strong impacts may damage the
interior wooden trim.
ś If the coating finish over the interior
wooden trim is removed, moisture
may damage or change wood traits.
ś If the interior wooden trim is
damaged, you may get a splinter from
the wood surface. Therefore, you
should immediately have replaced
the damaged interior wooden trim.
Contact an authorized Retailer of
Genesis Branded Products.
ś Forged wood is an eco-friendly
wooden trim made from recycled
wood chips. Due to these material
characteristics, the grain direction is
not constant and small dots or natural
cracks may occur. These are natural
appearance characteristics of real
wood from the manufacturing method
and are not appearance defects.
