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.

interference, and
2. This device must accept any inter-
ference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired

Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, you may still
steer the vehicle, but it will require
increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normal-
ly, the warning light ( ) will illu-
minate on the instrument cluster.
You may steer the vehicle, but it
will require increased steering
efforts. Take your vehicle to an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products and have the
system checked as soon as possi-
ble.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after pressing the
Engine Start/Stop button to the ON
position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed,
the steering wheel effort will return
to its normal condition.
• When the battery voltage is low, you
may have to put more steering
effort. However, it is a temporary
condition so that it will return to
normal condition after charging the
battery.
• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the Engine Start/
Stop button is in the ON or OFF
position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at stop or at a low driving
speed.• When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperature, abnormal
noise may occur. If temperature
rises, the noise will disappear. This
is a normal condition.
• When an error is detected from the
EPS, the steering effort assist func-
tion will not be activated in order to
prevent fatal accidents. Instrument
cluster warning lights may be on or
the steering effort may be high. If
these symptoms occur, drive the
vehicle to a safe area as soon as it is
safe to do so. Have the system
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products as soon
as possible.
