Good Driving Practices
Never shift from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
Never shift into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. If the shift
lever is moved to N (Neutral) while
driving, the vehicle loses the ability
to provide engine braking. Doing
so may increase the risk of an acci-
dent.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
Depressing both accelerator and brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel-
eration. Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal is
released. When driving in Manual shift mode
with the paddle shifter, slow down
before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not
be engaged if the engine rpms are
outside of the allowable range.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.

Information - Kickdown
Mechanism
Use the kickdown mechanism for
maximum acceleration. Depress the
accelerator pedal beyond the pressure
point. The automatic transmission will
shift to a lower gear depending on the
engine speed. i

Driving your vehicle
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a collision, an unbelted
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belt-
ed occupant.
Avoid high speeds when cor- nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control
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.
Genesis Branded Vehicle rec- ommends you follow all post-
ed speed limits.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS is an electronic braking system
that helps prevent a braking skid.
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time.
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Depress your
brake pedal as hard as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ABS is
active.
ABS does not reduce the time or dis-
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that
results from sudden changes in
direction, such as trying to take a
corner too fast or making a sudden
lane change. Always drive at a safe
speed for the road and weather con-
ditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-
ty. Always steer moderately when
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-
ing wheel movement can still cause
your vehicle to veer into oncoming
traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
An Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS) or an Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system will not
prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehi-
cle control is improved during
emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance
between you and objects ahead
of you. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The
braking distance for vehicles
equipped with ABS or ESC may
be longer than for those without
these systems in the following
road conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced
speeds during the following
conditions:
Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
On roads where the road sur- face is pitted or has different
surface height.
Tire chains are installed on your vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS
or ESC equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed
driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself
or others.

Using All Wheel Drive (AWD)
The All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
delivers engine power to front and
rear wheels for maximum traction.
AWD is useful when extra traction is
required, such as when driving on,
muddy, wet, or snow-covered roads.
If the system determines there is a
need for four wheel drive, the
engine's driving power is distributed
to all four wheels automatically.

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 retailer of Genesis Branded
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.
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.

Driving in sand or mud
Maintain slow and constant speed.
Keep sufficient distance betweenyour vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.
Reduce vehicle speed and always check the road condition.
Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns to prevent getting
stuck.
When the vehicle is stuck in snow,
sand or mud, avoid running the
engine continuously at high rpm,
doing so may damage the tires,
transmission, differential or AWD
system.
Information
• When using Snow Tires, mount them on all four wheels.
• When using AutoSock
®(fabric snow
chain), install them on all four tires.
However, if you are in a situation to
use only two AutoSock
®, install
them on the rear tires. In this case,
drive a short distance to prevent
damage to the AWD system.
For more information on Snow Tires
and Tire Chains, refer to "Winter
Driving" in this chapter.
Driving up or down hills
Driving uphill - Before starting off, check if it ispossible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
Driving downhill - Do not change gear while drivingdownhill. Select gear before driv-
ing downhill.
- Drive slowly and select Manual Shift Mode to provide engine
braking while driving downhill.
- Drive straight as possible.

Driving your vehicle
ECO mode
When ECO mode isselected by pressing the
DRIVE MODE button, the
ECO indicator will illumi-
nate on the instrument
cluster.
If the vehicle is set to ECO mode, when the engine is turned OFF
and restarted the drive mode set-
ting will remain in ECO mode.
Information
Fuel efficiency depends on the driver's
driving habit and road condition.
When ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may beslightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.
The engine noise may be louder at some automatic transmission
shifts as down-shift requires press-
ing down more on the accelerator.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated to help improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation of ECO mode operation:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
When driving the vehicle in manual shift mode using the paddle shifter.
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
CUSTOM mode
When CUSTOM mode isselected by pressing the
DRIVE MODE button, the
CUSTOM mode indicator
will illuminate on the
instrument cluster.
In CUSTOM mode, the driver can select separate modes and combine
them in the AVN system screen.
- Engine/Transmission: ECO/COMFORT/SPORT/SMART
- Steering wheel: COMFORT/ SPORT
- Suspension: COMFORT/SPORT
- AWD system: ECO/COMFORT/ SPORT

When SMART is selected for CUS-
TOM mode
SMART mode automatically controls
the vehicle driving, such as gear
shifting patterns, engine torque, rid-
ing quality (if equipped with the elec-
tronic suspension system), and
power distribution (if equipped with
the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system),
in accordance with the driver's driv-
ing habits.
Information
• When you mildly drive the vehicle
in SMART mode, the driving mode
changes to ECO mode to improve
fuel efficiency. However, the actual
fuel efficiency may differ in accor-
dance with your driving situations
(i.e. upward/downward slope, vehi-
cle deceleration/acceleration).
• When you dynamically drive the vehicle in SMART mode by abrupt-
ly decelerating or sharply turning
the driving mode changes to SPORT
mode. However, it may adversely
affect fuel economy.
Various driving situations, which you may encounter in SMART
mode
- The driving mode automaticallychanges to ECO mode after a
certain period of time, when you
gently depress the accelerator
pedal (Your driving is categorized
to be economic.).
- The driving mode automatically changes from SMART ECO
mode to SMART COMFORT
mode after a certain period of
time, when you sharply or repeti-
tively depress the accelerator
pedal. - The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART COMFORT
mode with the same driving pat-
terns, when the vehicle starts to
drive on an upward slope of a
certain angle. The driving mode
automatically returns to SMART
ECO mode, when the vehicle
enters a leveled road.
- The driving mode automatically changes to SMART SPORT,
when you abruptly accelerate the
vehicle or repetitively operate the
steering wheel (Your driving is
categorized to be sporty.). In this
mode, your vehicle drives in a
lower gear for abrupt accelerat-
ing/decelerating and increases
the engine brake performance.
- You may still sense the engine braking performance, even when
you release the accelerator pedal
in SMART SPORT mode. It is
because your vehicle remains in
lower gear over a certain period
of time for next acceleration.
Thus, it is a normal driving situa-
tion, not indicating any malfunc-
tion.
- The driving mode automatically changes to SMART SPORT
mode only in harsh driving situa-
tions. In most of the normal driv-
ing situations, the driving mode
sets to be either in SMART ECO
mode or in SMART COMFORT
mode.

Blind-Spot Collision-AvoidanceAssist (BCA) system
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system may apply brak-
ing power, when an approaching vehi-
cle is detected within a certain dis-
tance next to or behind your vehicle.
In this situation, the system gently
apply braking power on the tire,
which is located in the opposite side
of the possible-colliding point. The
instrument cluster will inform the
driver of the system activation.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
(BCA) system is automatically deacti-
vated when:
- The vehicle drives a certain dis-
tance away
- The vehicle direction is changed against the possible-colliding point
- The steering wheel is abruptly moved - The brake pedal is depressed
- After a certain period of time
The driver should drive the vehicle in
the middle of the vehicle lanes to
keep the system in the ready status.
When the vehicle drives too close to
one side of the vehicle lanes, the
system may not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not prop-
erly control your vehicle in accor-
dance with driving situations. Thus,
always pay close attention to road
conditions.
