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 approximately 2
seconds (maximum of 5 secondswhen
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
accelerator pedal when starting off
an incline. Hill-Start Assist Control
activates only for approximately 2
seconds (maximum of 5 seconds
when the accelerator pedal is slightly
depressed during HAC operation).
Information

[Hill-Start Assist Control does not
operate when the gear is shifted to P
(Park) or N (Neutral).

[Hill-Start Assist Control activates even
when the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is off. However, it does not
activate, when ESC does not operate
normally.
Brake Assistant System (BAS)
The Brake Assistant System provides
additional pressure when the brake pedal
is momentarily and strongly depressed
in a situation sudden braking is required
while driving.
The Brake Assistant System reduces the
time for ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
control to enter and consequently
reduces the braking distance, by
providing additional pressure up to the
point of ABS intervention.
BAS operation

[When the vehicle speed is more than
19 mph (30 km/h) and the ABS control
is not entered.

[When the brake pedal is depressed
strongly over a certain level.

[When the friction of the road surface
is above a certain level.
BAS operation off

[The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10
km/h).

[The brake pedal is depressed lightly or
firmly over a certain condition.

[The friction of the road surface is
below a certain level.
WARNING
The system may not operate depending
on driver's driving habit, the degree to
which the brake pedal is depressed and
the road surface condition.

Driving Your Vehicle
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 Engine 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.
Wet brakes can be dangerous! 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 we recommend that you 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.

Driving up or down hills

[Driving uphill
-Before starting off, check if it is
possible to drive uphill.
-Drive as straight as possible.

[Driving downhill
-Do not change gear while driving
downhill. Select gear before driving
downhill.
-Drive slowly using engine braking
while driving downhill.
-Drive straight as possible.
WARNING
Exercise extreme caution driving up or
down steep hills. The vehicle may flip
over depending on the grade, terrain,
water and mud conditions.
WARNING
Do not drive across the contour of steep
hills. A slight change in the wheel angle
can destabilize the vehicle, or a stable
vehicle may lose stability if the vehicle
stops its forward motion. Your vehicle
may roll over and lead to a serious injury
or death.
Emergency Precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip
all four tires with the same size, type,
tread pattern, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
WARNING
Do not use tire and wheel with different
size and type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can affect
the safety and performance of your
vehicle, which could lead to steering
failure or rollover causing serious injury.
In an emergency situation, a compact
spare tire may be used. But, do not use
the compact spare tire continuously.
Repair or replace the original tire as
soon as possible to avoid failure of the
differential or AWD system.

Driving Your Vehicle
WARNING
ORS061054L
Never start or run the engine while
an AWD vehicle is raised on a jack.
The vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack
causing serious injury or death to you or
those nearby.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with
a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off
the ground. For more details, refer to
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection

[If the vehicle needs to be operated on
a vehicle lift do not attempt to stop
any of the four wheels from turning.
This could damage the AWD system.

[Never engage the parking brake while
running the engine on a car lift. This
may damage the AWD system.
Dynamometer testing
An AWD vehicle must be tested on a
special four wheel chassis dynamometer.
ORS061055LA : Roll tester (Speedometer),
B : Temporary free roller
An AWD vehicle should not be tested
on a 2WD roll tester. If a 2WD roll tester
must be used, perform the following
procedure:
1. Check the tire pressures
recommended for your vehicle.
2. Place the rear wheels on the roll tester
for a speedometer test as shown in
the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the front wheels on the
temporary free roller as shown in the
illustration.
WARNING
Keep away from the front of the vehicle
while the vehicle is in gear on the
dynamometer. The vehicle can jump
forward and cause serious injury or
death.

Multi-Chamber Air Suspension
Malfunction
OJWEV061048L
This message is displayed when there is
a malfunction with the Multi-chamber
air suspension system. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
CAUTION

[When adjusting vehicle height, check
if there are any obstacles below or
above the vehicle.

[If air inside the suspension is
discharged, a warning message
will be displayed. If so, stop driving
and use a towing vehicle. Since
the vehicle height will be very low,
projections on the road may damage
the vehicle. See ‘Towing when the
air suspension malfunctions’ before
towing the vehicle.
Information

[Operating the air suspension may
cause a little noise when charging and
discharging the air.

[Adjusted vehicle height may vary
depending on the temperature and
surrounding environment.

[When the suspension warning message
is displayed, the system enables safe
mode to prevent secondary failure
and the vehicle performance may be
displayed differently.

[When the vehicle is parked on a slope,
or when the vehicle is in unstable
condition due to sudden acceleration,
deceleration or steering, vehicle height
adjustment becomes temporarily
disabled. If the vehicle escapes from
such dangerous situation, vehicle height
adjustment is enabled again.

[When the vehicle is lifted up with a
lift or jack, height adjustment may be
disabled to protect the system. If the
vehicle engine is started or you start
driving, the function is enabled again.

[Leaving the vehicle parked for long
time may lower the vehicle height. The
vehicle height returns to its original
position when the engine is started.

[If the battery is either overcharged or
discharged, vehicle height adjustment
is disabled to protect the system and a
temporary warning message may be
displayed.

[If the vehicle height adjustment is
operated repeatedly, the function may
be temporarily disabled due to the
overheated compressor. It is to prevent
the breakdown of related parts.
