Recommended SAE Viscosity Number
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler cap, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can
provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any
viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated
in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.
Temperature Range for SAE Viscosity Numbers

Engine Oil
*10W-300W-30
*1 : For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade
SAE 0W-30. However, if the engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper
engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.
An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute(API) Certification Mark conforms to the International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended to
only use engine oils that uphold this API Certification Mark.

• When sudden braking or sharp turning
occurs, Pre-active Safety Seat will
tighten the seat belt to prevent the
passenger from leaning forward or
sideway and provide driving stability.
In the following circumstances, the
system will consider it as a hazardous
situation and the system will operate
when:
-The passenger leans forward due to
sudden braking
-The passenger leans sideway due to
sharp turning
-Driving on slippery roads
-Driving in off-road conditions
-High risk of rollover is detected
• If the seat is manually adjusted while
Pre-active Safety Seat is operating,
the system will immediately stop
operating. However, after 5 seconds,
if a possible collision or hazardous
situation is detected, the system will
operate again.
System malfunction
When the Pre-active Adjustment Seat
system does not operate properly, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Rear Seats
WARNING
NEVER adjust the rear power seats
when a Child Restraint System is
installed in that seat.
WARNING
To prevent injury:
• Do not adjust your seat while
wearing your seat belt. Moving the
seat cushion forward may cause
strong pressure on your abdomen.
• Do not allow your hands or fingers to
get caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seats:
• Always stop adjusting the seats when
the seat has been adjusted as far
forward or rearward as possible.
• Do not adjust the seats longer than
necessary when the engine is turned
off. This may result in unnecessary
drain of the battery.
• Do not operate two or more seats at

folded down, put back the panel first
before folding back the arm rest. If
not, the panel knobs and the armrest
knobs may interfere with each other
and get damaged.
CAUTION
• Make sure the engine is off, the
vehicle is shifted to P (Park) and the
parking brake is applied whenever
loading or unloading cargo. The
vehicle may move if the shift lever
is inadvertently moved to another
position.
• When cargo is loaded through the
rear passenger seats, ensure the
cargo is properly secured to prevent
it from moving while driving.
WARNING
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and may hit
the front seat occupants in a collision.

The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following
components. Their locations are shown
in the illustration above:
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Retractor pre-tensioner
(3) SRS control module
NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS
control module is connected with the
pre–tensioner seat belts. The SRS air
bag warning light on the instrument
cluster will illuminate for approximately
three to six seconds after the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON position,
and then it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will
illuminate even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate, stays illuminated
or illuminates when the vehicle is being
driven, have the pre-tensioner seat
belts and/or SRS control module be
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products as soon as
possible.
Information
• Pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions or rollover situations (if
equipped with rollover sensor).
• When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passenger
compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not
hazardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be inhaled for prolonged periods.
Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly
after an accident in which the pre-
tensioner seat belts were activated.
