• Always look out for pedestrians
when your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead.
• Always be cautious for vehicles
with higher height or vehicles car-
rying loads that sticks out from the
back of the vehicle.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.

System malfunction
Check Highway Driving Assist
(HDA) system
If there is a problem with the system,
a message will appear for a few sec-
onds. If the problem continues, have
the vehicle inspected by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
Information
• High Driving Assist is limited in
other countries.
• High Driving Assist only operates
based on the speed limits of the
highway but it does not work with
the speed cameras.• The time gap could occur between
the navigation speed warning and
system operation.
• The system is not designed to work
on highways other than mentioned
as a controlled access road. The sys-
tem automatically cancels when you
leave the highway.
• If there is a problem with Highway
Driving Assist, the system cannot be
activated in the AVN system screen.
• If your vehicle is 1640 ft. (500 m)
ahead and behind of an open toll-
gate, the system is automatically
canceled. Also, it is converted to
Smart Cruise Control automatically
with a pop-up message on the navi-
gation.
• In the automatic speed setting
mode, the vehicle automatically
accelerates or decelerates when the
highway speed limit changes.
• If your vehicle speed exceeds 95
mph (153 km/h), Highway Driving
Assist is automatically canceled.
Also, it is converted to Smart Cruise
Control automatically with a pop-
up message on the navigation.
• If you enter a rest area on the high-
way or a IC/JC (intersection/junc-
tion) without a destination set, the
system is canceled later than when
the vehicle actually leaves the high-
way.

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
Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tires, which may reduce traction or
fail the braking operation.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as speci-
fied on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine
oil
Driving at higher speeds on the high-
way consumes more fuel and is less
efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
fuel when driving on the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine
coolant level and the engine oil
before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.
i
Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. To pre-
vent rollovers or loss of control:
• Take corners at slower speeds
than you would with a passen-
ger vehicle.
• Avoid sharp turns and abrupt
maneuvers.
• Do not modify your vehicle in
any way that you would raise
the center of gravity.
• Keep tires properly inflated.
• Do not carry heavy cargo on
the roof.
WARNING
In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more
likely to die than a person wear-
ing a seat belt. Make sure all
passengers are wearing their
seat belts.

The severe weather conditions of winter quickly wear out tires and cause
other problems. To minimize winter driving problems, you should take the fol-
lowing suggestions:
Snow or Icy Conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applica-
tions, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous practices. During decel-
eration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on
snowy or icy roads may cause the vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires or
to install tire chains on your tires.
Always carry emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry
include tire chains, tow straps or chains, a flashlight, emergency flares, sand,
a shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a
blanket, etc.
Snow tires
We recommend you use snow tires when road temperature is below 45°F
(7°C). Refer to the below chart, and mount the recommended snow tire for
your vehicle.
If you mount snow tires on your vehicle, make sure to use the same inflation
pressure as the original tires. However, if you mount 245/45R19 size tire on
the rear, the tire inflation pressure should maintain 35psi. Mount snow tires on
all four wheels to balance your vehicle's handling in all weather conditions.
The traction provided by snow tires on dry road may not be as high as your
vehicle's original equipment tires. Check with the tire dealer for maximum
speed recommendations.
Information
Do not install studded tires without first checking local, state and municipal reg-
ulations for possible restrictions against their use.

Driving your vehicle
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in chapter 7 and replace
them if necessary. Also check all
ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or
damaged in any way.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add an
approved window washer anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instruc-
tions on the container. Window wash-
er anti-freeze is available from an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products and most auto
parts outlets. Do not use engine
coolant or other types of anti-freeze
as these may damage the paint fin-
ish.
Do not let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the gear in P and block the
rear wheels so the car cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake.
Do not let ice and snow accu-
mulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in severe winter conditions
where this may happen, you should
periodically check underneath the
car to be sure the movement of the
front wheels and the steering compo-
nents is not obstructed.
Don't place foreign objects or
materials in the engine com-
partment
Placement of foreign object or mate-
rials which prevent cooling of the
engine, in the engine compartment,
may cause a failure or combustion.
The manufacturer is not responsible
for the damage caused by such
placement.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing,
squirt an approved de-icer fluid or
glycerine into the key opening. If a
lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove
the ice. If the lock is frozen internally,
you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heat-
ed key with care to avoid injury.

If you Have a Flat Tire While
Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing:
• Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
When the vehicle has slowed to
such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
• When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
shift the gear to P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
OFF position.
• Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
• When changing a flat tire, follow
the instructions provided later in
this chapter.If the Engine Doesn't Turn
Over or Turns Over Slowly
• Be sure to shift the gear to N
(Neutral) or P (Park). The engine
starts only when the gear is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park).
• Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could cause damage to
your vehicle.See instructions for
"Jump Starting" provided in this
chapter.
Push or pull starting the vehicle
may cause the catalytic converter
to overload which can lead to
damage to the emission control
system.
If the Engine Turns Over
Normally but Doesn't Start
Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the engine still does not start, have
your vehicle checked by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
