WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
 WARNING
Windshield heating
Do not use the 
 position during cooling operation in extremely humid 
weather. The difference between the 
temperature of the outside air and that 
of the windshield could cause the outer 
surface of the windshield to fog up, 
causing loss of visibility could cause 
an accident resulting in serious injury 
or death. In this case, set the mode 
selection button to the 
 position and fan speed control knob to a lower 
speed.
• For maximum defrost performance, 
set the temperature control to the 
highest temperature setting and 
the fan speed control to the highest 
setting.

defrosting or defogging, set the mode 
to the floor-defrost position.
• Before driving, clear all snow and ice 
from the windshield, rear window, 
side view mirrors, and all side 
windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the 
hood and air inlet in the cowl grill 
to improve heater and defroster 
efficiency and to reduce the 
probability of fogging up the inside of 
the windshield.
NOTICE
If the engine temperature is still cold 
after starting, then a brief engine warm 
up period may be required for the 
vented air flow to become warm or hot.

Before Entering the Vehicle
• Be sure all windows, outside mirror(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 liftgate, 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 seat belt. Check that all 
passengers have fastened their seat 
belts.
• Check the gauges and indicators 
in the instrument panel and the 
messages on the instrument display 
when the ignition switch is in the ON 
position.
• Check that any items you are carrying 
are stored properly or fastened down 
securely.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH, take the following precautions:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All 
passengers must be properly belted 
whenever the vehicle is moving. 
For more information, refer to “Seat 
Belts” section in chapter 3.
• Always drive defensively. Assume 
other drivers or pedestrians 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 SERIOUS 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, 
perceptions and judgment. Just 
one drink can reduce your ability to 
respond to changing conditions and 
emergencies and your reaction time 
gets worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence 
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.

Power-Assist Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes 
that adjust automatically through normal 
usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned 
off while driving, the power assist for 
the brakes will not work. You can still 
stop your vehicle by applying greater 
force to the brake pedal than typical. 
The stopping distance, however, will be 
longer than with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the 
reserve brake power is partially depleted 
each time the brake pedal is applied. 
Do not pump the brake pedal when the 
power assist has been interrupted.
 WARNING
Take the following precautions:
• Do not drive with your foot resting 
on the brake pedal. This will create 
abnormal high brake temperatures, 
excessive brake lining and pad wear, 
and increased stopping distances.
• When descending down a long or 
steep hill, use the paddle shifter 
and manually downshift to a 
lower gear in order to control your 
speed without using the brake 
pedal excessively. Applying the 
brakes continuously will cause 
the brakes to overheat and could 
result in a temporary loss of braking 
performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's 
ability to safely slow down; the 
vehicle may also pull to one side 
when the brakes are applied. 
Applying the brakes lightly will 
indicate whether they have been 
affected in this way. Always test your 
brakes in this fashion after driving 
through deep water. To dry the 
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to 
heat up the brakes while maintaining 
a safe forward speed until brake 
performance returns to normal. 
Avoid driving at high speeds until the 
brakes function correctly.
Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new 
pads are required, you will hear a high 
pitched warning sound from your front 
or rear brakes. You may hear this sound 
come and go or it may occur whenever 
you depress the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or 
climates may cause a brake squeal 
when you first apply (or lightly apply) 
the brakes. This is normal and does not 
indicate a problem with your brakes.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not 
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
 Information
Always replace brake pads as complete 
front or rear axle sets.

High Performance Brake
For vehicles equipped with the High 
Performance Brake (large diameter 
monoblock brakes with enhanced 
braking performance), noise such as a 
squeal, squeak or groan is generated 
while braking. This is normal and the 
friction may create circle patterns on 
the disc surface. This is also a normal 
condition which does not affect braking 
performance.
 WARNING
Frequent braking may deform 
components and worn the disc brake 
causing vibration when braking. 
Observe the speed limit to prevent 
brake damage from excessive braking.
Brake wear, noise, vibration from 
excessive braking or deformation of the 
brakes caused by repeatedly braking in 
high speed, racing on tracks, etc. may 
not be covered under warranty.

Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake 
pedal while driving, emergency braking 
is possible by pulling up and holding 
the EPB switch. Braking is possible only 
while you are holding the EPB switch. 
However, braking distance will be longer 
than normal.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY 
or DEATH, do not operate the EPB 
while the vehicle is moving except 
in an emergency situation. It could 
damage the brake system and lead to 
an accident.
 Information
During emergency braking, the Parking 
Brake warning light will illuminate to 
indicate that the system is operating.
NOTICE
If you continuously notice a noise or 
burning smell when the EPB is used for 
emergency braking, have the system 
checked by an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products.
