Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with all
wheels off the ground, either on a
flatbed tow truck or using doilies.
For more details, refer to "Towing"
in chapter 6.
Vehicle inspection
If the vehicle needs to be operatedon a vehicle lift do not attempt to
stop any of the four wheels for turn-
ing. This could damage the sys-
tem.
Never engage the parking brake while running the engine on a car
lift. This may damage the AWD
system.
Dynamometer testing
An AWD vehicle must be tested on a
special four wheel chassis dynamome-
ter.
An AWD vehicle should not be tested
on a 2WD roll tester. If a 2WD roll
tester must be used, perform the fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Check the tire pressures recom- mended for your vehicle.
2. Place the rear wheels on the roll tester for a speedometer test as
shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the front wheels on the tem- porary free roller as shown in the
illustration.

Driving your vehicle
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
Light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle in the road
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
You are on a roundabout
The pedestrian suddenly interrupts in front of the vehicle
There is any other electromagnetic interference
The construction area, rail or other metal object is near Do not use the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
The FCA system is designed to help detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect motorcy-
cles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage
bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
Never try to test the operation of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.
If the front bumper, front glass, radar or camera have
been replaced or repaired,
have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.

The Smart Cruise Control system
may not operate temporarily due
to:
Electrical interference
A modified suspension
Differences of tire abrasion or
tire pressure
Installing different type of tires
NOTICE
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem may not recognize com-
plex driving situations so
always pay attention to driving
conditions and control your
vehicle speed.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem may recognize a pedestri-
an, bicycle, motorcycle, etc. as
a vehicle. Always, look ahead
cautiously to prevent unex-
pected and sudden situations
from occurring.
Turn off the Smart Cruise Control system when the
vehicle is being towed.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem may operate limitedly
when towing a trailer or vehi-
cle so always drive cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following pre-
cautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-essary, you must apply the
brakes. The smart cruise con-
trol system cannot guarantee
the stop for every emergency
situation.
Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle
speed. If the vehicle to vehicle
distance is too close during a
high-speed driving, a serious
collision may result.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying the
brakes if necessary.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians or
an oncoming vehicle. Always
look ahead cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
Vehicles moving in front of you with a frequent lane change
may cause a delay in the sys-
tem's reaction or may cause the
system to react to a vehicle
actually in an adjacent lane.
Always drive cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
Always be aware of the select- ed speed and vehicle to vehicle
distance. The driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention to driving
conditions and control your
vehicle speed.

Driving Convenience systems can-
celed
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after the
message "Keep hands on steering
wheel", the LFA system will be can-
celed. However, if the Smart Cruise
Control is reactivated manually by
the driver, the Lane Following Assist
System will reactivate.
To activate Smart Cruise control,
refer to "Smart Cruise Control
with Stop and Go" in chapter 5.
Information
• Even though the steering is assisted
by the system, the driver may con-
trol the steering wheel.
• The steering wheel may feel heavier when the steering wheel is assisted
by the system than when it is not.
Check Lane Following Assist (LFA)
system
If there is a problem with the system
a message will appear for a few sec-
onds. If the problem continues, we
recommend that you have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized retail-
er of Genesis Branded products.

Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tire damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more dis-
tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control.
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windshield.
Be sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See "Tire Replacement" in chap-
ter 7.
Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases
as the depth of tire tread decreas-
es, refer to "Tire Replacement" in
chapter 7.

Driving your vehicle
Tire Loading Information Label
The label located on the driver's door
sill gives the original tire size, cold
tire pressures recommended for your
vehicle, the number of people that
can be in your vehicle and vehicle
capacity weight.
Vehicle capacity weight
882 lbs. (400 kg)
Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi-
mum combined weight of occupants
and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped
with a trailer, the combined weight
includes the tongue load.
Seating capacity
Total : 5 persons (Front seat : 2 persons,
Rear seat : 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum
number of occupants including a
driver, your vehicle may carry.
However, the seating capacity may
be reduced based upon the weight of
all of the occupants, and the weight
of the cargo being carried or towed.
Do not overload the vehicle as there
is a limit to the total weight, or load
limit including occupants and cargo,
the vehicle can carry.
Towing capacity
We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.
Cargo capacity
The cargo capacity of your vehicle
will increase or decrease depending
on the weight and the number of
occupants and the tongue load, if
your vehicle is equipped with a trailer.

Steps for determining correct
load limit
1. Locate the statement "The com-
bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX
kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's
placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if
the "XXX" amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may
not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trail- er, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehi-
cle. Do not overload the vehicle as
there is a limit to the total
weight, or load limit, including
occupants and cargo, the vehi-
cle can carry. Overloading can
shorten the life of the vehicle. If
the GVWR or the GAWR is
exceeded, parts on the vehicle
can break, and it can change
the handling of your vehicle.
These could cause you to lose
control and result in an acci-
dent.
WARNING
Page 412 of 555
We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.
If you carry items inside your
vehicle (e.g., suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else),
they are moving as fast as the
vehicle. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, the items will keep going
and can cause an injury if they
strike the driver or a passenger.
Put items in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
Do not stack items, like suit- cases, inside the vehicle
above the tops of the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the vehicle, secure it.WARNING
