STEERING WHEEL
Motor-Driven Power Steering
(MDPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, you may still
steer the vehicle, but it will require
increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
If the Motor-Driven Power Steering
(MDPS) System does not operate
normally, the warning light ( )
will illuminate on the instrument
cluster. You may steer the vehicle,
but it will require increased steer-
ing efforts. Take your vehicle to an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products and have the
system checked as soon as possi-
ble.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON posi-
tion.
This happens as the system per-
forms the MDPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed,
the steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
• When the battery voltage is low, you
might have to put more steering
effort. However, it is a temporary
condition so that it will return to
normal condition after charging the
battery.
• A click noise may be heard from the
MDPS relay after the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON or
OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed.
• When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperatures, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If the temper-
ature rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.

Tilt Steering / Telescopic
Steering
Adjust the steering wheel so it points
toward your chest, not toward your
face. Make sure you can see the
instrument cluster warning lights and
gauges. Always adjust the position of
the steering wheel before driving.
To change the steering wheel angle
and height:
• Move the switch (1) up and down to
adjust the angle (2).
• Move the switch forward or rear-
ward to adjust the height (3).
Do not adjust the steering wheel
longer than necessary when the
engine is turned off. This may
result in unnecessary battery
drain.
Heated Steering Wheel
While the engine is running, push the
switch to warm the steering wheel.
• Manual temperature control
Each time you push the switch, the
temperature setting changes as
follows:
• Automatic temperature control
- When the heated steering wheel
switch is pressed to HIGH (
) :
The heated steering wheel switch
automatically changes to the LOW
position after 30 minutes. You can
turn off the heated steering wheel
by pressing the switch to the OFF
position.
• The heated steering wheel defaults
to the OFF position whenever the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position.
NOTICE
NEVER adjust the steering
wheel while driving. This may
cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.

MIRRORS
Inside Rearview Mirror
Before driving your vehicle, check to
see that your inside rearview mirror
is properly positioned. Adjust the
rearview mirror so that the view
through the rear window is properly
centered.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS®) Mirror
(if equipped)
The NVS®Mirror automatically
reduces glare by monitoring light lev-
els in the front and the rear of the
vehicle. Any object that obstructs
either light sensor will degrade the
automatic dimming control feature.
For more information regarding
NVS
®mirrors and other applica-
tions, please refer to the Gentex
website:
www.gentex.com
Your mirror will automatically dim
upon detecting glare from the vehi-
cles traveling behind you.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion each time the vehicle is started.
Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System can replace up to three hand-
held radio-frequency (RF) transmit-
ters with a single built-in device. This
innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate devices such
as gate operators, garage door open-
ers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both stan-
dard and rolling code-equipped trans-
mitters can be programmed by follow-
ing the outlined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
®information
can be found at: www.homelink.com,
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as for
future HomeLink
®programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®buttons be erased for
security purposes.
Before programming HomeLink
®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm
or damage. Do not use the
HomeLink
®with any garage
door opener that lacks the safe-
ty stop and reverse features
required by U.S. federal safety
standards (this includes any
garage door opener model man-
ufactured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect
an object - signaling the door to
stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door
opener without these features
increases the risk of serious
injury or death.

Programming HomeLink®
Please note the following:
• When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park the
vehicle outside of the garage.
• It is recommended that a new bat-
tery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink
®for quicker
training and accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal.
• Some vehicles may require the
Engine Start/Stop button to be in
the ACC (or "Accessories") posi-
tion for programming and/or opera-
tion of HomeLink
®.
• In the event that there are still pro-
gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming
steps listed below, contact
HomeLink
®at: www.homelink.com,
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGent
ex or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Programming
To program most devices, follow
these instructions:
1. Press and release (1), (2) or (3)
button.
• If the indicator (4) is turned ON in
Orange, go to Step 3) since it is
a new programming.
• If the indicator (4) is continuous-
ly turned ON or flashes in Green
rapidly several times, go to Step
2) since it is a programmed but-
ton.
2. Press and hold the button you
wish to program for approximately
15-25 seconds until the LED flash-
es in Orange for several times.

4. Press the Original Transmitter but-
ton until the indicator (4) is turned
continuously ON or flashes in
Green for approximately 10 sec-
onds and it indicates the program-
ing is completed.
5. However, the indicator (4) flashes
in Green continuously, but if the
garage door opener does not
operate, please continue to follow
the step 6 and 7 (“Rolling Code
Programming” procedures).
6. Firmly press and release the
“Learn,” “Smart,” or “Program” but-
ton while the indicator (4) flashes
in Green. Once the button is
pressed, you have approximately
30 seconds to initiate the next
step.
Information
At the garage door opener motor,
(security gate motor, etc.) locate the
“Learn,” “Smart,” or “Program” but-
ton. This can usually be found where
the hanging antenna wire is attached
to the motor-head unit (see the
device’s manual to identify this but-
ton). The name and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer. A ladder
and/or second person may simplify
the following steps.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly
press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLink button up to
three times. Do not press the
HomeLink button rapidly. At this
point programming is complete
and your device should operate
when the HomeLink button is
pressed and released.
Information
• Some garage door openers require
to press the programmed button on
the mirror up to three times right
after the programming is just com-
pleted to operate the garage door.
• The indicator (4) is turned ON in
Orange and flashes for about 60 sec-
onds, during the programing mode
and if a programing is not succeed-
ed within the 60 seconds, the pro-
graming mode will be abort.
HomeLink
®should now activate your
rolling code equipped device.

Information
Two way communication range dis-
tance between "vehicle" and "garage
door opener" is 100 m.
The range may be reduced or
increased a little due to obstacle condi-
tions around the garage door opener,
such as houses or trees.
