The power trunk can be operat- ed when the engine is not run-
ning. However, the power trunk
operation consumes a large
amount of electic power.
To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not oper-
ate it excessively (e.g. more than
5 times repeatedly).
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave
the power trunk in the open
position for a long time.
Do not modify or repair any part of the power trunk by yourself.
This must be done by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
When jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehi-
cle, do not operate the power
trunk. This could cause the
power trunk to operate improp-
erly.
In cold and wet climates, the power trunk may not work prop-
erly due to freezing conditions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power trunk is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
trunk will detect the resistance.
If resistance is detected while open-
ing or closing the power trunk, the
trunk will stop and move in the oppo-
site direction.
However, in some instances the
automatic reversal system may not
detect the object if it is too soft or is
very thin, or if the trunk is almost fully
closed near the latched position.
Caution should be taken to prevent
any objects from obstructing the
trunk opeining. If the automatic reversal feature
operates more than 2 times while
attempting to open or close the
trunk, the power trunk may stop at
that position. If this occurs, carefully
close the trunk manually, and then
try to operate the power trunk auto-
matically again.
NOTICE
OIK048433
Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in
the path of the power trunk to
make sure the automatic rever-
sal operates.
WARNING
Do not put heavy objects on the
power trunk before you operate
the power trunk feature.
Additional weight may damage
the operation of the system.

Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn itclockwise until it "clicks" one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is latched securely.Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by touch-
ing, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric capable of
producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity discharge
by touching a metal part of the
vehicle, away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle or other gasoline
source, with your bare hand.
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be
sure to place the container on
the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
Before refueling, note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.
WARNING
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
When refueling, always shift
the vehicle to P (Park, for
automatic transmission) or
neutral (for manual transmis-
sion), apply the parking brake,
and press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF
position. Sparks produced by
electrical components related
to the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
Do not use matches or a
lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
