Automatic reverse
ODH043039ODH043039
If the sunroof senses any obstacle while 
it is closing automatically, it will reverse 
direction then stop to allow the object to 
be cleared.
The auto reverse function does not work 
if a small obstacle is between the sliding 
glass and the sunroof sash.
You should always check that all 
passengers and objects are away from 
the sunroof before closing it.
 WARNING
Small objects that can get caught 
between the sunroof glass and the front 
glass channel may not be detected by 
the automatic reverse system. In this 
case, the sunroof glass will not detect 
the object and reverse direction.
NOTICE
• Periodically remove any dirt that may 
accumulate on the sunroof guide 
rail or between the sunroof and roof 
panel which can make a noise.
• Do not try to open the sunroof when 
the temperature is below freezing 
or when the sunroof is covered with 
snow or ice, otherwise the motor 
could be damaged. In cold and wet 
climates, the sunroof may not work 
properly.
Resetting the Sunroof
In some circumstances resetting the 
sunroof operation may need to be 
performed. Some instances where 
resetting the sunroof may be required 
include:

around the engine compartment to 
ensure the following:
 -Any tools or other loose objects 
are removed from the engine room 
area or hood opening area
 -All glove, rags, or other 
combustible material is removed 
from the engine compartment
 -All filler caps are tightly and 
correctly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted 
approximately 12 in. (30 cm) from the 
closed position) and push down to 
securely lock in place. Then double 
check to be sure the hood is secure. 
If the hood can be raised slightly, it is 
not securely locked. Open it again and 
close it with more force.
 WARNING

all obstructions are removed from 
around the hood opening.
• Always double check to be sure that 
the hood is firmly latched before 
driving away. Check there is no 
hood open warning light or message 
displayed on the instrument cluster. 
Driving with the hood opened may 
cause a total loss of visibility, which 
might result in an accident.

 Information
If the fuel filler door does not open 
because ice has formed around it, tap 
lightly or push on the door to break the 
ice and release the door. Do not pry on the 
door. If necessary, spray around the door 
with an approved deicer fluid (do not use 
radiator antifreeze) or move the vehicle to 
a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it 
clockwise until it “clicks” one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is 
latched securely.
 Information
The fuel filler door will not close if the 
driver’s door is locked. If you lock the 
driver’s door while fueling, unlock it 
before closing the fuel filler door.
 WARNING
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 nozzle, you 
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching 
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe 
distance away from the fuel filler 
neck, nozzle, or other gas source, 
with your bare hand.
• Do not use mobile phones while 
refueling. Electric current and/or 
electronic interference from cellular 
phones can potentially ignite fuel 
vapors and cause a fire.
• Do not go back into the vehicle 
once you have begun refueling. 
You can generate a buildup of 
static electricity by touching, 
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 dangerous 
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.

the headlamps ON, the headlamps (and/
or position lamps) remain on for about 
5 minutes. However, if the driver’s door 
is opened and closed, the headlamps 
are turned off after 15 seconds. Also,

delay function does not turn OFF 
automatically.
This may cause the battery to 
discharge. To avoid battery discharge, 
turn OFF the headlamps manually from 
the headlamp switch before exiting the 
vehicle.
Headlamp moisture removal 
function
Moisture may temporarily build up inside 
of the headlamp when the headlamps 
are on; the fan inside the headlamp will

the moisture. If moisture is not removed, 
have the vehicle inspected by an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products.
