Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield wiper func-
tionality. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and
hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades
are not wiping properly, clean both
the window and the blades with a
clean cloth dampened with washer
fluid.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
Use gasoline, kerosene, paintthinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
Attempt to move the wipers manually.
Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.
Blade Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manu-
ally.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.
For your convenience, move the
windshield wiper blades to the serv-
ice position as follows;
After turning off the engine, move the
wiper switch to the single wiping
(MIST) position within 20 seconds
and hold the switch more than 2 sec-
onds until the wiper blade is in the
fully up position.
Do not allow the wiper arm to fall
against the windshield, since it
may chip or crack the windshield.

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH to you or bystanders,
always follow these precautions
when working near or handling
the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully
when handling a battery.Wear eye protection
designed to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks,
or smoking materials
away from the battery.
Hydrogen is always present in battery cells,
is highly combustible,
and may explode if ignit-
ed.
Keep batteries out of
reach of children.
Batteries contain sulfu-
ric acid which is highly
corrosive. Do not allow
acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get imme-
diate medical attention. If acid
gets on your skin, thoroughly
wash the area. If you feel pain or
a burning sensation, get med-
ical attention immediately. (Continued)
WARNING(Continued)
When lifting a plastic-casedbattery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Do not attempt to jump start your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.
NEVER attempt to recharge the battery when the vehicle’s
battery cables are connected
to the battery.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.
NEVER touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or when the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.

Battery Recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.
AGM battery
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) batteries are maintenance-free
and we recommend that the
AGM battery be serviced by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products. For charging
your AGM battery, use only fully
automatic battery chargers that
are specially developed for AGM
batteries.
When replacing the AGM bat- tery, we recommend that you
use parts for replacement from
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
Do not open or remove the cap on top of the battery. This may
cause leaks of internal elec-
trolyte that could result in
severe injury.
NOTICE
Always follow these instruc-
tions when recharging your
vehicle's battery to avoid the
risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH from explosions or acid
burns:
Before performing mainte-nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and press the Engine Start/
Stop button to the OFF posi-
tion.
Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking materials away from
the battery.
Always work outdoors or in an area with plenty of ventilation.
Wear eye protection when checking the battery during
charging.
The battery must be removed from the vehicle and placed in
a well ventilated area.
Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin boiling violently.

WARNING

A vehicle's electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 4 fuse panels, one
located in the driver's side panel bol-
ster, another in the engine compart-
ment, and two others in the trunk
compartment.
If any of your vehicle's lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse
has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted or broken.If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver's side
fuse panel. Before replacing a blown
fuse, turn the engine and all switches
off, and then disconnect the negative
battery cable. Always replace a
blown fuse with one of the same rat-
ing.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.
Information
Four kinds of fuses are used : blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type/Multi fuse/Fusible link for
higher amperage ratings.
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the sys-
tem.

NEVER replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of the
same rating.
A higher capacity fuse couldcause damage and possibly
cause a fire.
Do not install a wire or alu- minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tempo-
rary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
possibly a fire.

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-

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.

Blade type fuse
Before inspecting a fuse, you should
turn OFF the engine as well as the
other electric system switches.
If a fuse is blown out, remove the
blown-out fuse and install a new fuse
of the same capacity by using the
fuse puller, which is prepared inside
the fuse box in the engine compart-
ment. A new fuse may be prepared
along with the fuse puller. However, if
not, you may temporarily select/use
a fuse of the other systems, which do
not affect the vehicle operation, such
as the audio system.
Cartridge type fuse
Before inspecting a fuse, you should
turn OFF the engine as well as the
other electric system switches.
If a fuse is blown out, remove the
blown-out fuse and install a new fuse
of the same capacity. Pay extreme
caution not to damage the blown-out
fuse while removing it.
