Windshield washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and
wiper operation will continue until you
release the lever. If the washer does
not work, you may need to add wash-
er fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.If equipped with the Headlamp
Washer, washer fluid will be sprayed
on the headlamp at the same time
you operate the windshield washer
when:
1. The Engine Start/Stop button is in
the ON position.
2. The light switch is in the headlamp position.
When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warm
the windshield using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
shield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an acci-
dent and serious injury or death.
WARNING
To prevent possible damage
to the washer pump, do not
operate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.
To prevent possible damage
to the wipers or windshield,
do not operate the wipers
when the windshield is dry.
To prevent damage to the
wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.
To prevent possible damage
to the wipers and washer sys-
tem, use anti-freezing washer
fluids in the winter season or
cold weather.

properly when:
• The lane is not visible due to snow,rain, stain, a puddle or other fac-
tors.
• The brightness outside changes suddenly such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel.
• The headlamps are not on at night or in a tunnel, or light level is low.
• It is difficult to distinguish the color of the lane marking from the
road or the lane line is damaged or
indistinct.
• Driving on a steep grade or a curve.
• Light such as street light, sunlight or oncoming vehicle light reflects
from the water on the road.

Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more dis-tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
If you are still stuck after rock-
ing the vehicle a few times, have
the vehicle pulled out by a tow
vehicle to avoid engine over-
heating, possible damage to the
transmission, and tire damage.
See “Towing” in chapter 6.
To prevent damage to the trans-
mission, turn OFF the ESC prior
to rocking the vehicle.CAUTION

Driving your vehicle
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if equipped)
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windshield.
Be sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
Refer to "Tire Tread" in chapter 7.
Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly. If you believe your brakes may be
wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet. The
risk of hydroplaning increases as the
depth of tire tread decreases. (Refer
to "Tire Tread" in chapter 7.)
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.

Maintenance
In an emergency, if you do not have
a spare fuse, use a fuse of the same
rating from a circuit you may not
need for operating the vehicle, such
as the cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlamps or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the engine compartment. If a fuse
is blown, it must be replaced with the
same rating.Fuse switch
Always, place the fuse switch to the
ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF
position, some items such as audio
and digital clock must be reset and
the smart key may not work properly.
ODH073032
Always place the fuse switch
in the ON position while driv-
ing the vehicle.
Do not move the transporta-
tion fuse switch repeatedly.
The fuse switch may be dam-
aged.

Consult an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products to
replace most vehicle light bulbs. It is
difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs
because other parts of the vehicle
must be removed before you can get
to the bulb. This is especially true for
removing the headlamp assembly to
get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlamp
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
After heavy driving, rain or wash-
ing, headlamp and trunk lenses
could appear frosty. This condition
is caused by the temperature differ-
ence between the lamp inside and
the outside temperature. This is sim-
ilar to the condensation on your win-
dows inside your vehicle during the
rain and doesn’t indicate a problem
with your vehicle. If the water leaks
into the lamp bulb circuitry, have
your vehicle checked by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.

Headlight (HID type) If the light bulb does not operate,
have the vehicle checked by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance vs. halogen bulbs.
HID lamps are estimated by the
manufacturer to last twice as long or
longer than halogen bulbs depend-
ing on their frequency of use. They
will probably require replacement
at some point in the life of the vehi-
cle. Cycling the headlamps on and
off more than typical use will short-
en HID lamps life. HID lamps do not
fail in the same manner as halogen
incandescent lamps. If a headlamp
goes out after a period of operation
but will immediately relight when
the headlamp switch is cycled it is
likely the HID lamp needs to be
replaced. HID lighting components
are more complex than conventional
halogen bulbs thus have higher
replacement cost.
ODH073039

Type B
HID Headlamp low beam
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON
bulb) due to electric shock dan-
ger. If the low beam (XENON
bulb) is not working, have your
vehicle checked by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with
High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlights, these headlights
contain mercury. So if you need
to have your vehicle disposed,
you should remove the HID
Headlights before disposal. The
removed HID headlights should
be recycled, re-used or dis-
posed as hazardous waste.
