NOTICE indicates a situation
which, if not avoided, could result
in vehicle damage. Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you use unleaded
gasoline which has an octane number
((R+M)/2) of 91 (Research Octane
Number 95) or higher.
Using unleaded gasoline that is
lower than octane number
((R+M)/2) of 91 (Research Octane
Number 95) could result in loss of
engine power and increase fuel
consumption.
To prevent damage to the engine
and engine components, never
add any fuel system cleaning
agents to the fuel tank other than
what has been specified.
Consult an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products for
additional information.
Gasoline containing alcohol or
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco-
hol) are being marketed along with or
instead of leaded or unleaded gaso-
line. For example, "E15" is a gasohol
comprised of 15% ethanol and 85%
gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more
than 15% ethanol, and do not use
gasoline or gasohol containing any
methanol. Either of these fuels may
cause drivability problems and dam-
age to the fuel system, engine control
system and emission control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any
kind if drivability problems occur.
NOTICE

NOTICE
CAUTION indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moder-
ate injury.
CAUTION
•Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refueling.
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.

Introduction
"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel com-
prised of 85 percent ethanol and 15
percent gasoline, and is manufac-
tured exclusively for use in Flexible
Fuel Vehicles. "E85" is not compati-
ble with your vehicle. Use of "E85"
may result in poor engine perform-
ance and damage to your vehicle's
engine and fuel system. Genesis
Branded Vehicle recommends that
customers do not use fuel with an
ethanol content exceeding 15 per-
cent.
To prevent damage to your vehicle’s
engine and fuel system:
Never use gasohol which con- tains methanol.
Never use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol.
Never use leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
Never use "E85" fuel.
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty does not cover damage
to the fuel system or any perform-
ance problems caused by the use
of "E85" fuel.
Using Fuel Additives (except Detergent Fuel Additives)
Using fuel additives such as:
- Silicone fuel additive
- Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel additive
- Other metallic-based fuel additives
may result in cylinder misfire, poor
acceleration, engine stalling, dam-
age to the catalyst, or abnormal cor-
rosion, and may cause damage to
the engine resulting in a reduction in
the overall life of the powertrain.
- The Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.
Damage to the fuel system or per-
formance problem caused by the
use of these fuels or fuel additives
may not be covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful
manganese-based fuel additives
such as
MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl
Manganese Tricarbonyl
).
Genesis Branded Vehicle does not
recommend the use of gasoline con-
taining MMT.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle
performance and affect your emis-
sion control system.
The malfunction indicator lamp on
the cluster may come on.
Detergent Fuel Additives
Genesis Branded Vehicle recom-
mends that you use good quality
gasolines treated with detergent addi-
tives such as TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline, which help prevent deposit
formation in the engine. These gaso-
lines will help the engine run cleaner
and enhance performance of the
Emission Control System. For more
information on TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline, please go to the website
(www
.toptiergas.com).
NOTICE
NOTICE

Introduction
For customers who do not use TOP
Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly,
and have problems starting or the
engine does not run smoothly, deter-
gent-based fuel additives that you
can purchase separately may be
added to the gasoline. If TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline is not available,
one bottle of additive added to the
fuel tank according to the mainte-
nance schedule is recommended
(refer to the Maintenance Schedule
in chapter 7).
Additives are available from your
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products along with infor-
mation on how to use them. Do not
mix other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle
in another country, be sure to:
Observe all regulations regarding registration and insurance.
Determine that acceptable fuel is available. This vehicle should not be modi-
fied. Modification of your vehicle
could affect its performance, safety
or durability and may even violate
governmental safety and emis-
sions regulations.
In addition, damage or perform-
ance problems resulting from any
modification may not be covered
under warranty.
If you use unauthorized electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge and fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorized
electronic devices. By following a few simple precautions
for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you
may add to the performance, econo-
my and life of your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
Do not use Launch Control (if equipped) during the break-in
process.

Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system protects
your vehicle from theft. If an improp-
erly coded key (or other device) is
used, the engine's fuel system is dis-
abled.
When the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON position, the immobilizer
system indicator should come on
briefly, then go off. If the indicator
starts to blink, the system does not
recognize the coding of the Smart
Key.
Press the Engine Start/Stop button
to the OFF position, then press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the ON
position again.
In some circumstances, the vehicle
may not recognize your smart key if
another smart key device is nearby
or a metal object such as a key chain
is causing interference with the
smart key.
If this occurs, your vehicle may not
start. Remove any metal objects or
additional keys near the smart key
before attempting to start the vehicle
again.If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of the key, con-
tact an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your vehicle inoperable.
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobilizer
system. It is designed to give
years of trouble-free service, how-
ever you should avoid exposure to
moisture, static electricity and
rough handling. Immobilizer sys-
tem malfunction could occur.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
three conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any inter- ference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired
operation.
3. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate
the device.
i
NOTICE
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential.
