Safety System

ORG3030047
Just before impact, drivers often brake 
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the 
front portion of the vehicle causing it 
to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher 
ground clearance. Air bags may not 
inflate in this “underride” situation 
because deceleration forces that are 
detected by sensors may be significantly 
reduced by such “underride” collisions.
ORG3030048
Front air bags may not inflate in 
rollover accidents because front air bag 
deployment would not provide additional 
occupant protection.
 Information
With rollover sensor
The side and curtain air bags and front 
center air bag may inflate in a rollover 
situation, when it is detected by the 
rollover sensor.
ORG3030049
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle 
collides with objects such as utility poles 
or trees, where the point of impact is 
concentrated and the collision energy is 
absorbed by the vehicle structure.

Idle Stop and Go helps reduce fuel 
consumption by automatically shutting 
down the engine, when the vehicle is 
at a standstill (i.e. red stop light, stop 
sign, and traffic jam) subject to certain 
prerequisite conditions being satisfied as 
listed below.
The engine is automatically started upon 
satisfying the starting conditions.
ISG system is always active, when the 
engine is running.
 Information
When the engine is automatically started 
by ISG system, warning lights (i.e. ABS, 
ESC, ESC OFF, EPS, and parking brake 
warning light) may illuminate for a few 
seconds due to low battery voltage.
However, it does not indicate a 
malfunction with ISG system.
ISG System Operation
Prerequisite for activation
ISG system operates in the following 
situations.
• The driver's seatbelt is fastened
• The driver's door and hood are closed
• The battery sensor is activated and 
the battery is sufficiently charged
• Outside temperature is not too low or 
too high
• The vehicle is driven over a constant 
speed and stops
• The climate control system satisfies 
the conditions
• The vehicle is sufficiently warmed up
• ISG related parts are working properly
• The incline is gradual
• The steering wheel is turned less than 
180 degrees and then the vehicle 
stops
 Information
ISG system is not activated, when the 
prerequisites to activate the ISG system 
are unsatisfied. If this occurs, the ISG 
OFF button indicator illuminates, and the 
Auto Stop (
) indicator illuminates in 
yellow on the instrument cluster.
When the Auto Stop  (
) indicator stays 
on the instrument cluster, have the system 
inspected by an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products.
Auto stop
When ISG is on the engine will be 
stopped automatically when both of the 
following occurs:
1. Vehicle speed decreases to 0mph (0 
km/h) full stop condition.
2. Brake pedal is depressed and gear is 
in D (Drive) or N (Neutral).
The Auto Stop (
) indicator illuminates 
in green on the instrument cluster, when 
the engine stops.
 Information
Idle stop cannot reoccur again until the 
vehicle speed goes above 3 mph (5 km/h) 
and then returns again to the automatic 
stop conditions as previously mentioned.

When certain conditions are met, the 
engine is automatically decoupled from 
the transmission while gear remains in D 
(Drive). When Coasting is operating, the 
engine stays at idling speed to reduce 
fuel consumption and increase coasting 
distance.
Coasting Setting
OJX1069045L
• The Coasting function must be turned 
ON from the Settings menu in the 
infotainment system screen. Select:
 -Setup → Vehicle Settings → Drive 
Mode → Coasting
For detailed information, refer to the 
separately supplied manual.
• When Coasting is turned ON and 
the conditions are met, the function 
operates with a ‘Coasting’ message 
illuminated on the instrument cluster.
Coasting Operating Conditions
The Coasting function will operate when 
the accelerator pedal is depressed and 
released under the following conditions.
• ECO is selected for driving mode
• ECO or Smart is selected for 
Powertrain in the CUSTOM menu from 
the infotainment system screen. If 
Smart is selected, driver acceleration 
should be mild
• The gear is in D (Drive)
• The Smart Cruise Control button is 
OFF
• The accelerator or brake pedal is not 
depressed
• The vehicle’s speed is within 30~100 
mph (50~160 km/h) range
• The road gradient is within -5~+5% 
range
 Information
• If the front radar for smart cruise 
control system cannot operate 
normally, the inter-vehicle distance 
and relative speed condition are 
automatically ignored.
• The Coasting function works after the 
engine is turned on, the transmission is 
warmed up, and the engine sensor self-
diagnosis is completed.
• Depending on the driving situation, 
Coasting operation may be temporarily 
delayed even if the above conditions are 
met.
