Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause uncon-
sciousness and death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or
smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the win-
dows immediately. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and death
by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to
change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound
of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath
side of the vehicle, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible
by an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is
a hazardous practice. Run the engine only long enough to start the engine
and to move the vehicle out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the
vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside
the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at
"Fresh" and fan control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation
air intakes located in front of the windshield clear of snow, ice, leaves, or
other obstructions.
If you must drive with the trunk open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face",
and the fan control set to high.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
Before Entering the Vehicle
• Be sure all windows, outside mir-
ror(s), and outside lights are clean
and unobstructed.
• Remove frost, snow, or ice.
• Visually check the tires for uneven
wear and damage.
• Check under the vehicle for any
sign of leaks.
• Be sure there are no obstacles
behind you if you intend to back up.
Before Starting
• Make sure the hood, the trunk, and
the doors are securely closed and
locked.
• Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.
• Adjust the inside and outer side
view mirrors.
• Verify all the lights work.
• Fasten your seatbelt. Check that all
passengers have fastened their
seatbelts.
• Check the gauges and indicators in
the instrument panel and the mes-
sages on the instrument display
when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
• Check that any items you are car-
rying are stored properly or fas-
tened down securely.
BEFORE DRIVING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING
Engine exhaust and a wide vari-
ety of automobile components
including components found in
the interior furnishings in a vehi-
cle, contain or emit harmful
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and
birth defects and reproductive
harm. In addition, certain fluids
contained in vehicles and certain
products of components contain
or emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause can-
cer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
WARNING

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
All passengers must be prop-
erly belted whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. For more infor-
mation, refer to "Seat Belts" in
chapter 2.
• Always drive defensively.
Assume other drivers or pedes-
trians may be careless and
make mistakes.
• Stay focused on the task of
driving. Driver distraction can
cause accidents.
• Leave plenty of space between
you and the vehicle in front of
you.
WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and
drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and
driving is dangerous and may
result in an accident and SERI-
OUS INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number
one contributor to the highway
death toll each year. Even a
small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, percep-
tions and judgment. Just one
drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions
and emergencies and your reac-
tion time gets worse with each
additional drink.
Driving while under the influ-
ence of drugs is as dangerous
or more dangerous than driving
under the influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to
have a serious accident if you
drink or take drugs and drive. If
you are drinking or taking
drugs, don't drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been
drinking or taking drugs.
Choose a designated driver or
call a taxi.
WARNING

Whenever the front door is opened,
the Engine Start/Stop button will illu-
minate and will go off 30 seconds
after the door is closed.

Driving your vehicle
To reduce risk of serious injury
or death, NEVER allow children

WARNING
To turn the engine off in an

WARNING
• NEVER press the Engine

tional control and braking
function, which could cause
an accident.
