System Malfunction
OOSEV040521L
Check Smart Regeneration System
The message will appear when the
system is not functioning normally. The
system will be cancelled and the word
'AUTO' on the cluster will disappear and
instead display regenerative braking
level. Check for foreign substances on
the front radar. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere with
the radar sensors. If the system still does
not operate normally, take your vehicle
to an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products and have the system
checked.
Limitations of the System
The Smart Recuperation System may
not operate properly in certain situations
when the driving condition is beyond the
performance of the front radar sensor.
Driver's attention is required in such
cases when the system does not react
properly or operate unintentionally.
Driving on a curved road
OJWEV061022
When coasting on the curve, the system
may not detect the vehicle in your lane
and the regenerative braking level will
reduce automatically, making you feel
that the vehicle is accelerating.
Also, if the system suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front, the regenerative
braking level will increase automatically,
making you feel that the vehicle is
decelerating.
The driver must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving speed
in order to maintain a safe distance.

Driving Your Vehicle
OJWEV061023
Your vehicle speed can be reduced due
to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Apply the accelerator pedal and select
the appropriate speed. Check to be sure
that the road conditions permit safe
operation of the Smart Recuperation
System.
Driving on an inclined road
OJWEV061021
When coasting on an uphill or downhill,
the system may not detect the vehicle in
your lane and the regenerative braking
level will reduce automatically, making
you feel that the vehicle is accelerating.
Also, if the system suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front, the regenerative
braking level will increase automatically,
making you feel that the vehicle is
decelerating.
The driver must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving speed
in order to maintain a safe distance.
Lane changing
OJWEV061024
[ A vehicle which moves into your lane
from an adjacent lane cannot be
recognized by the sensor until it is in
the sensor's detection range.
[ The radar may not detect immediately
when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.
Always pay attention to the traffic,
road and driving conditions.

Vehicle recognition
OJWEV061025
Some vehicles in your lane cannot be
recognized by the sensor:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles
or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-
decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles (When the vehicle
ahead drives away, the system may
not detect a stopped vehicle.)
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as
trailers with no loads
A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized
correctly by the sensor if any of following
occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing upwards
due to overloading in the luggage
compartment.
- While the steering wheel is operating.
- When driving to one side of the lane.
- When driving on narrow lanes or on
curves.
- Apply the brake or accelerator pedal if
necessary.
WARNING
When using the Smart Recuperation
System take the following precautions:
[ If an emergency stop is necessary,
you must apply the brakes.
[ Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed. If
the vehicle to vehicle distance is too
close during a high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
[ Always maintain sufficient braking
distance and decelerate your vehicle
by applying the brakes if necessary.
[ The Smart Recuperation System
cannot recognize a stopped vehicle,
pedestrians or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
[ Vehicles moving in front of you with
a frequent lane changes may cause
a delay in the system's reaction or
may cause the system to react to a
vehicle actually in an adjacent lane.
Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring.
[ The Smart Recuperation System
may not recognize complex driving
situations so always pay attention to
driving conditions and control your
vehicle speed.
NOTICE
The Smart Recuperation System may
not operate temporarily due to:
[ Electrical interference
[ Modifying the suspension
[ Differences of tire abrasion or tire
pressure
[ Installing different type of tires

Driving Your Vehicle
Power-assist Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
If the vehicle is not running or is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes may not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will be
longer than with power brakes.
Information
[ 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.
[ 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:
[ 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 shift lever
to decrease the speed.
[ 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.
[ Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's
ability to safely decelerate. Because
wet brakes increase braking distance
and cause noise troubles, select 0
step of the regenerative braking
system and depress the brake pedal
around 10 times, with keeping the
safe distance from other vehicles,
lightly in order to dry the braking
system. Such procedure may
decrease the driving distance by
restraining the regenerative braking
system, which is not a system
malfunction. Inspect the braking
system after car wash or driving over
wet road conditions.
NOTICE
[ Do not continue depressing the
brake pedal if the () indicator is
OFF. The battery may be discharged.
[ Noise and vibration generated
during braking is normal.
[ 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.

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.
WARNING
Frequent braking may deform
components and worn 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.
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 worn 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.

Applying the parking brake
OJWEV061030L
To apply EPB (Electronic Parking Brake):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Pull up the EPB switch.
Make sure the Parking Brake warning
light comes on.
EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) may be
automatically applied when:
[ Requested by other systems
[ The driver turns the vehicle off while
Auto Hold is operating.
Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake
pedal while driving, emergency braking
is possible by pulling up and holding
the EPB switch. Braking is possible only
while you are holding the EPB switch.
However, braking distance will be longer
than normal.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH, do not operate the EPB
while the vehicle is moving except
in an emergency situation. It could
damage the brake system and lead to
an accident.
Information
During emergency braking, the Parking
Brake warning light will illuminate to
indicate that the system is operating.
NOTICE
If you continuously notice a noise or
burning smell when the EPB is used for
emergency braking, have the system
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
