WARNING
Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. If you lack
sufficient knowledge and experience or
the proper tools and equipment to do
the work, have it done by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
ALWAYS follow these precautions for
performing maintenance work:

[Park your vehicle on level ground,
shift the gear to the P(Park), apply
the parking brake, press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF
position.

[ Block the tires (front and back) to
prevent the vehicle from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jewelry
that can become entangled in
moving parts.

[ If you must operate the engine
during maintenance, do so in an
outdoor area or in an area with
plenty of ventilation.

[ Keep flames, sparks, or smoking
materials away from the battery and
fuel-related parts.
WARNING
Touching metal parts
Do not touch metal parts
(including strut bars) while
the engine is operating or
hot. Doing so could result in
serious personal injury. Turn
the engine off and wait until
the metal parts cool down to
perform maintenance work on
the vehicle.
The following lists are vehicle checks and
inspections that should be performed
by the owner or an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products at the
frequencies indicated to help ensure
safe, dependable operation of your
vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer as
soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.

Owner Maintenance Schedule
When you stop for fuel:

[ Check the coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir or the liquid-cooled
intercooler coolant reservoir.

[ Check the windshield washer fluid
level.

[ Check for low or under-inflated tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your coolant
level if the engine is hot. This may
result in coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious burns and
other injuries.
While operating your vehicle:

[Note any changes in the sound of the
exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.

[ Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any increased
steering effort or looseness in the
steering wheel, or change in its
straight-ahead position.

[ Notice if your vehicle constantly turns
slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling on smooth, level road.

[ When stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.

[ If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission occurs,
check the transmission fluid level.

[ Check the automatic transmission P
(Park) function.

[ Check the parking brake.

[ Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:

[Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.

[ Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.

[ Check the inflation pressures of all
tires including the spare for tires that
are worn, show uneven wear, or are
damaged.

[ Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year: (for example,
every Spring and Autumn)

[Check radiator, heater and air
conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.

[ Check windshield washer spray and
wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with a clean cloth dampened with
washer fluid.

[ Check headlight alignment.

[ Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields
and clamps.

[ Check the seat belts for wear and
function.
At least once a year:

[Clean body and door drain holes.

[ Lubricate door hinges and hood
hinges.

[ Lubricate door and hood locks and
latches.

[ Lubricate door rubber weather strips.

[ Check the air conditioning system.

Information

[ As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should
be checked on regular basis.

[ The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of
the recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification
is not used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under
severe operating conditions.

[ For 2.0 T-GDI engine : The vehicle may be e uipped with the Oil ife Management
System that predicts engine oil life based on the driver s driving history and alerts the
driver to change engine oil.
- If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver s driving
severity, the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster before the
normal engine oil replacement interval. ave the engine oil and filter changed by an
authori ed distributor of Genesis Branded product.
- Oil ife Management System works when the recommended engine oil is used.
So, if recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according to the
maintenance schedule under severe usage condition.
Also, check the amount of engine oil regularly as this system assumes that the engine
oil is being filled normally.
- Always reset the remaining engine oil life whenever the engine oil is changed.
Otherwise, The indication of remaining Oil life in the Oil ife Management System
may not be accurate.
To reset the Oil Change Reminder, select RESET from the infotainment system
screen. Then, select Yes when the message Changed engine oil Press Yes to reset
