Gasoline containing alcohol or methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alcohol) are
being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline. For
example, "E15" is a gasohol comprised of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol, and do not use gaso\
-
line or gasohol containing any methanol. Either of these fuels may cause dri-
vability problems and damage to the fuel system, engine control system and
emission control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur.
"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel comprised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 per-
cent gasoline, and is manufactured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel
Vehicles. "E85" is not compatible with your vehicle. Use of "E85" may result in
poor engine performance and damage to your vehicle's engine and fuel sys-
tem. Genesis Branded Vehicle recommends that customers do not use fuel
with an ethanol content exceeding 15 percent.
To prevent damage to your vehicle’s engine and fuel system:
Never use gasohol which contains methanol.
Never use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol.
Never use leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
Never use "E85" fuel.
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the fuel
system or any performance problems caused by the use of "E85" fuel.
Using Fuel Additives (except Detergent Fuel Additives)
Using fuel additives such as:
- Silicone fuel additive
- Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel additive
- Other metallic-based fuel additives
may result in cylinder misfire, poor acceleration, engine stalling, damage to
the catalyst, or abnormal corrosion, and may cause damage to the engine
resulting in a reduction in the overall life of the powertrain.
- The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate.
Damage to the fuel system or performance problem caused by the use
of these fuels or fuel additives may not be covered by your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Safety system of your vehicle
Noise and smoke from inflatingair bag
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and may produce
smoke and powder in the air inside of
the vehicle. This is normal and is a
result of the ignition of the air bag
inflator. After the air bag inflates, you
may feel substantial discomfort in
breathing because of the contact of
your chest with both the seat belt and
the air bag, as well as from breathing
the smoke and powder. The powder
may aggravate asthma for some
people. If you experience breathing
problems after an air bag deploy-
ment, seek medical attention imme-
diately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to
the skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
cold water immediately and seek
medical attention if the symptoms
persist.
Occupant Classification
System (OCS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Occupant Classification System
(OCS) in the front passenger's seat.
The Occupant Classification System
sensor, which is equipped inside the
front passenger’s seat, distinguishes
whether the seat is occupied by an
adult or a child restraint system, and
sends this information to the ACU.
Then, the ACU integrates this infor-
mation with any impact information
while determining whether to deploy
the air bags for the front passenger’s
seat.
- The Occupant Classification
System properly detects a front
passenger, when a passenger sits
in upright position. In an accident, it
properly deploys the air bag.
- The Occupant Classification System detects a child restraint
system, which is installed on the
front passenger's seat. In this
case, the air bag system for the
front passenger's seat gets dis-
abled.
- The Occupant Classification System may not deploy the air bag
for the front passenger's seat,
when a tiny adult sits out of upright
position.

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
retailer of Genesis Branded 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 retailer of Genesis
Branded products. Improper han-
dling 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.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Always have inflated air bagsreplaced by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
If components of the air bag system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
Consult an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products
for the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precau-
tions could increase the risk
of personal injury.

The Power Trunk Lock button will
not work if you press the button when:
- Any door is open.
- The Engine Start/Stop button is notin the OFF position.
- The Smart Key is in the vehicle. Do not close or open the Power
Trunk manually. This may cause
damage to the Power Trunk. If it
is necessary to close or open the
Power Trunk manually when the
battery is drained or disconnect-
ed, do not apply excessive force.
Do not leave the Power Trunk open for a long period of time.
This may drain the battery.
To prevent damage to the trunk lift cylinders and the attached
hardware, always close the trunk
before driving.
Information
In cold and wet climates, trunk lock
and trunk mechanisms may not work
properly due to freezing conditions.
Power trunk non-opening orclosing conditions:
The Power Trunk will not open or
close automatically, when the vehi-
cle is moving more than 1.8 mph (3
km/h).
The Power Trunk can be operated when the engine is not running.
However, the Power Trunk operation
consumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the bat-
tery from draining, do not operate it
excessively (e.g., more than
approximately 10 times repeatedly.)
Do not modify or repair any part of the Power Trunk by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded prod-
ucts.
Before jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the Power Trunk. Do not oper-
ate the Power Trunk when the vehi-
cle is raised or this could cause the
Power Trunk to operate improperly.
i
NOTICEi
Never leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle.
Children or animals might oper-
ate the power trunk that could
result in injury to themselves or
others, or damage to the vehicle.
WARNING
Always keep the trunk lid com-
pletely closed while the vehicle is
in motion. If it is left open or ajar,
poisonous exhaust gases con-
taining carbon monoxide (CO)
may enter the vehicle and seri-
ous illness or death may result.
WARNING
Make sure there are no people
or objects around the trunk
before opening or closing the
Power Trunk. Wait until the trunk
is open fully and stopped before

automatically. After removing the
obstacle, try to open it again.
Automatic stop and reverse
If, during power opening or closing,
the trunk is blocked by an object or
part of someone's body, the power
trunk will detect the resistance and it
will stop movement or move to the
full open position to allow the object
to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin or
soft, or the trunk is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and
reversal may not detect the resist-
ance and the closing operation will
continue. Also, if the Power Trunk is
forced by a strong impact, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may operate.
If the automatic stop and reverse fea-
ture operates more than twice during
one opening or closing operation, the
Power Trunk may stop at that posi-
tion. If this occurs, close the trunk
manually and operate the trunk auto-
matically again.To reset the power trunk
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, or if the related fuse
has been replaced or disconnected,
reset the Power Trunk as follows:
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Close the trunk manually.

Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.
Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric
capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. If you
must re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline
source, with your bare hand.
When using an approved portable fuel container, be
sure to place the container on
the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When refueling, always movethe shift lever to the P (Park)
position, set the parking
brake, and place the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF
position. Sparks produced by
electrical components related
to the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
Do not use matches or a lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
Do not over-fill or top-off your vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refu- eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
