Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering the 
vehicle. If the vehicle 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.
 CAUTION
If Electric Power Steering does not 
operate normally, the  warning light and the message ‘Check motor driven 
power steering’ will illuminate on the 
instrument cluster. You may steer the 
vehicle, but it will require increased 
steering efforts. Take the vehicle to an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products and have the system checked 
as soon as possible.
 Information
The following symptoms may occur during 
normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high 
immediately after pressing the Engine 
Start/Stop button to the ON position.
This happens as the system performs 
the EPS system diagnostics. When the 
diagnostics are completed, the steering 
wheel effort will return to its normal 
condition.
• When the battery voltage is low, you 
may 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 
EPS 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 driving 
speed.
• When you operate the steering wheel 
in low temperatures, abnormal noise 
may occur. If the temperature rises, the 
noise will disappear. This is a normal 
condition.
• When an error is detected from EPS, 
the steering effort assist function will 
not be activated in order to prevent 
accidents. Instrument cluster warning 
lights may be on or the steering effort 
may be high. If these symptoms occur, 
drive the vehicle to a safe area as soon 
as it is safe to do so. Have the system 
checked by an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products as soon as 
possible.

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.
 WARNING
Make sure your line of sight is not 
obstructed. Do not place objects in the 
rear seat, cargo area, or behind the rear 
headrests which could interfere with 
your vision through the rear window.
 WARNING
To prevent serious injury during an 
accident or deployment of the air bag, 
do not modify the rearview mirror and 
do not install a wide mirror.
 WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror while driving. 
This may cause loss of vehicle control 
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
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 this 
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 levels 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 applications, please 
refer to the Gentex website:
www.gentex.com
Your mirror will automatically dim 
upon detecting glare from the vehicles 
traveling behind you. 
The mirror defaults to the ON position 
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) transmitters 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 openers, entry door locks, 
security systems, even home lighting. 
Both standard and rolling code-equipped 
transmitters can be programmed by 
following 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.
 WARNING
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 safety 
stop and reverse features required 
by U.S. federal safety standards (this 
includes any garage door opener model 
manufactured 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 standards. 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 battery 
be placed in the hand-held transmitter 
of the device being programmed 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”) position for 
programming and/or operation of 
HomeLink®.
• In the event that there are still 
programming difficulties or questions 
after following the programming steps 
listed below, contact HomeLink® at: 
www.homelink.com, www.youtube.
