Convenient features of your vehicle
To charge a cellular phone
The wireless cellular phone charging
system charges only the Qi-enabled
cellular phones ( ). Read the label
on the cellular phone accessory
cover or visit your cellular phone
manufacturer’s website to check
whether your cellular phone supports
the Qi technology.
The wireless charging process starts
when you put a Qi-enabled cellular
phone on the wireless charging unit.
1. Remove other items, including thesmart key, from the wireless charg-
ing unit. If not, the wireless charg-
ing process may be interrupted.
2. The indicator illuminates in orange during the charging process. The
indicator color changes to green,
when the charging process is
completed.
3. You can turn ON or OFF the wire- less charging function in the user
settings mode on the instrument
cluster. (For further information,
refer to the "LCD Modes" in this
chapter.)
Slightly change the cellular phone
position, when the cellular phone is
not being charged. Make sure that
the indicator illuminates in orange.
The indicator color may not change
to green in accordance with the cel-
lular phone type, even though the
charging process is completed. The
indicator blinks in orange for 10 sec-
onds when there is a malfunction
with the wireless charging system. In
this case, temporarily stop the charg-
ing process, and re-attempt to wire-
lessly charge your cellular phone
again. The system warns you with a mes-
sage on the LCD display when you
do not take out the cellular phone
from the wireless charging unit with
the front door open and the Engine
Start/Stop button in the OFF posi-
tion.
The wireless cellular phone
charging system may not sup-
port certain cellular phones,
which are not verified for the Qi
specification ( ).
Locate your cell phone well in the middle of the wireless cellular
phone charging system. Even
when your cell phone locates
slightly to one side, the charging
speed may decrease.
The wireless charging process may temporarily stop, when a
smart key function operates (i.e.
starting the engine, opening the
doors, closing the doors).
For certain cell phones, the indi- cator color may not change to
green, even when the wireless
charging process is properly
completed.
The wireless charging process may temporarily stop, when tempera-
ture abnormally increases inside
the wireless cellular phone charg-
ing system. The wireless charging
process restarts, when tempera-
ture falls to a proper level.
The wireless charging processmay temporarily stop when there
is any metallic item, such as a
coin, between the wireless cellu-
lar phone charging system and a
cellular phone.

Driving your vehicle
Check spark plugs and ignitionsystem
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in chapter 7 and replace
them if necessary. Also check all
ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or
damaged in any way.
Use approved window washeranti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add an
approved window washer anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instruc-
tions on the container. Window wash-
er anti-freeze is available from an
authorized Dealer of Genesis Brand
Products and most auto parts out-
lets. Do not use engine coolant or
other types of anti-freeze as these
may damage the paint finish.
Do not let your parking brakefreeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the gear selector lever in P
and block the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
Do not let ice and snow accu-mulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in severe winter conditions
where this may happen, you should
periodically check underneath the
car to be sure the movement of the
front wheels and the steering compo-
nents is not obstructed.
Don't place foreign objects ormaterials in the engine com-partment
Placement of foreign object or mate-
rials which prevent cooling of the
engine, in the engine compartment,
may cause a failure or combustion.
The manufacturer is not responsible
for the damage caused by such
placement.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing,
squirt an approved de-icer fluid or
glycerine into the key opening. If a
lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove
the ice. If the lock is frozen internally,
you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heat-
ed key with care to avoid injury.

Maintenance
Instrument Panel Fuse
Replacement
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Turn all other switches OFF.
3. Open the fuse panel cover.
4. Refer to the label on the inside ofthe fuse panel cover to locate the
suspected fuse location.
5. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided
in the engine compartment fuse
panel.
6. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. Spare fuses are
provided in the instrument panel
fuse panels (or in the engine com-
partment fuse panel). 7. Push in a new fuse of the same
rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips. If it fits loosely, consult
an authorized Dealer of Genesis

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.
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 the
audio system and clock must be
reset and the smart key may not
work properly.
