Safety system of your vehicle
Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally,
the higher the speed, the greater the
risk, but serious injuries can also
occur at lower speeds. Never drive
faster than is safe for current condi-
tions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle in Safe
Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechani-
cal failure can be extremely haz-
ardous. To reduce the possibility of
such problems, check your tire pres-
sures and condition frequently, and
perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.

Safety system of your vehicle
Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags and the driver's knee
air bag are designed to inflate in a
frontal collision depending on the the
severity of impact of the front colli-
sion.
OHI036059
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and
causing serious injury or death:
Do not hit or allow any objectsto impact the locations where
air bags or sensors are
installed.
Do not perform maintenance on or around the air bag sen-
sors. If the location or angle of
the sensors is altered, the air
bags may deploy when they
should not or may not deploy
when they should.
Do not install bumper guards or replace the bumper with a
non-genuine Genesis Brand
parts. This may adversely
affect the collision and air bag
deployment performance.
Place the engine Start/Stop button in the OFF or ACC
position when the vehicle is
being towed to prevent inad-
vertent air bag deployment.
Have all air bag repairs con- ducted by an authorized
Dealer of Genesis Brand
Products.

Safety system of your vehicle
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate
when the Engine Start/Stop button is
in the ON position, or continuously
remains on, have your vehicle imme-
diately inspected by an authorized
Dealer of Genesis Brand Products.
Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, the
front passenger's panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized Dealer of Genesis
Brand Products. Improper handling of
the SRS system may result in serious
personal injury.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, take the follow-
ing precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
Do not place objects over or near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, or the front passen-
ger’s panel above the glove
box.
Clean the air bag pad covers with a soft cloth moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and
proper deployment of the sys-
tem.

Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance that the vehicle has been driv-
en and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should
be performed.
Range
The range is the estimated distance
the vehicle can be driven with the
remaining fuel in the fuel tank.
If the estimated distance is below 1
mile (1 km), the cluster will display
"----" as the range.
Information
• If the vehicle is not on level groundor the battery power has been inter-
rupted, the range function may not
operate correctly.
• The range may differ from the actu- al driving distance as it is an esti-
mate of the available driving dis-
tance.
• The range may not register addi- tional fuel if less than 6 liters of fuel
are added to the vehicle.
• The range may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.

Convenient features of your vehicle
The Head-Up Display is a transpar-
ent display which projects a shadow
of information of the instrument clus-
ter and navigation on the windshield
glass.
Precautions while using the Head-Up Display
It may be difficult to read information
on the Head-Up Display in the follow-
ing situations.
- The driver is improperly positioned
in the driver's seat.
- The diver wears polarizing-filter sunglasses.
- An object is located above the head-up display cover.
- The vehicle is driven on a wet road.
- Any improper lighting accessory is installed inside the vehicle, or there
is incoming light from outside of the
vehicle.
- The driver wears glasses.
- The driver wears contact lenses.
When it is difficult to read the head-
up display information, adjust the
head-up display angle or the head-
up display brightness level in the
User Settings mode. For more infor-
mation, refer to "LCD Display" in
this chapter. Have your head-up display main-
tained by an authorized Dealer of
Genesis Brand Products. The head-
up display maintenance requires a
special windshield exclusive for the
head-up display.
• Do not tint the front windshield
glass or add other types of
metallic coating. Otherwise, the
head-up display image may be
invisible.
Do not place any accessories on the crash pad or attach any
objects on the windshield glass.
Information
When replacing the front windshield
glass of the vehicles equipped with the
head up display, replace it with a
windshield glass designed for the
head-up display operation.
Otherwise, duplicated images may be
displayed on the windshield glass.

The Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
system is a supplemental device
for your safe driving. Do not
solely depend on the blind spot
detection warnings to change
lanes. Always take a look around
before changing lanes.
WARNING

Air conditioning system operation
tips
If the vehicle has been parked indirect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
After sufficient cooling has been achieved, switch back from the
recirculated air to the fresh outside
air position.
To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system with the win-
dows and sunroof closed.
Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
If you operate air conditioner excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air
and that of the windshield could
cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button to
the position and fan speed
control to the lower speed.
System Maintenance
Climate control air filter
This filter is installed behind the glove
box. It filters the dust or other pollu-
tants that enter the vehicle through the
heating and air conditioning system.
Have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorized Dealer of
Genesis Brand Products according
to the maintenance schedule. If the
car is being driven in severe condi-
tions such as dusty or rough roads,
more frequent air conditioner filter
inspections and changes are
required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, the system should be checked at
an authorized Dealer of Genesis
Brand Products.

Using All Wheel Drive (AWD)
The All Wheel Drive (AWD) System
delivers engine power to the front
and rear wheels for maximum trac-
tion. AWD is useful when extra trac-
tion is required, such as when driving
on slippery, muddy, wet, or snow-
covered roads.
If the system determines there is a
need for addition traction, engine
power will automatically be distrib-
uted to all four wheels.
Information
• Do not drive in water if the level ishigher than the bottom of the vehi-
cle.
• Check your brake condition once you are out of mud or water.
Depress the brake pedal several
times as you move slowly until you
feel normal braking return.
• Shorten your scheduled mainte- nance interval if you drive in off-
road conditions such as sand, mud
or water (see "Maintenance Under
Severe Usage Conditions" in chap-
ter 7).
• Make sure that an AWD vehicle is towed by flatbed tow truck.

If the AWD warning light ( )
stays on the instrument cluster,
your vehicle may have a mal-
function with the AWD system.
When the AWD warning light
( ) illuminates have your
vehicle checked by an author-
ized Dealer of Genesis Brand
Products as soon as possible.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging
off-road conditions.
Avoid high speeds when cor- nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The risk of a rollover is great-ly increased if you lose con-
trol of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
Always drive safely and use caution when driving an AWD
vehicle.
