Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion
By using the most advanced design 
and construction practices to combat 
corrosion, Genesis Branded Vehicle 
produces vehicles of the highest quality. 
However, this is only part of the job. 
To achieve the long-term corrosion 
resistance the owner’s cooperation and 
assistance is also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion 
on your vehicle are:
• Road salt, dirt and moisture that is 
allowed to accumulate underneath 
the vehicle.
• Removal of paint or protective 
coatings by stones, gravel, abrasion 
or minor scrapes and dents which 
leave unprotected metal exposed to 
corrosion.High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your vehicle is 
regularly exposed to corrosive materials, 
corrosion protection is particularly 
important. Some of the common causes 
of accelerated corrosion are road salts, 
dust control chemicals, ocean air and 
industrial pollution.
Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in 
which corrosion is most likely to occur. 
For example, corrosion is accelerated 
by high humidity, particularly when 
temperatures are just above freezing. In 
such conditions, the corrosive material is 
kept in contact with the vehicle surfaces 
by moisture that is slow to evaporate.
Mud is particularly corrosive because 
it is slow to dry and holds moisture in 
contact with the vehicle. Although the 
mud appears to be dry, it can still retain 
moisture and promote corrosion.
High temperatures can also accelerate 
corrosion of parts that are not properly 
ventilated so the moisture can be 
dispersed. For all these reasons, it is 
particularly important to keep your 
vehicle clean and free of mud or 
accumulations of other materials. This 
applies not only to the visible surfaces 
but particularly to the underside of the 
vehicle.

Interior Care
Interior general precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as 
perfume and cosmetic oil, from 
contacting the interior parts because 
they may cause damage or discoloration. 
If they do contact the interior parts, 
wipe them off immediately. See the 
instructions for the proper way to clean 
vinyl.
NOTICE
• Never allow water or other liquids 
to come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the 
vehicle as this may damage them.
• When cleaning leather products 
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use 
neutral detergents or low alcohol 
content solutions. If you use high 
alcohol content solutions or acid/ 
alkaline detergents, the color of the 
leather may fade or the surface may 
get stripped off.
Cleaning the upholstery and interior 
trim
Vinyl (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl 
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. 
Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl cleaner.
Fabric (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from 
fabric with a whisk broom or vacuum 
cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solution 
recommended for upholstery or carpets. 
Remove fresh spots immediately with 
a fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do 
not receive immediate attention, the 
fabric can be stained and its color can be 
affected. Also, its fire-resistant properties 
can be reduced if the material is not 
properly maintained.
NOTICE
Using anything but recommended 
cleaners and procedures may affect the 
fabric’s appearance and fire-resistant 
properties.

 -Oil
Remove oil instantly with 
absorbable cloth and wipe with 
stain remover used only for natural 
leather.
 -Chewing gum
Harden the gum with ice and 
remove gradually.
• Handling prime napa leather (if 
equipped)
Try to avoid excessive sunlight and 
heat exposure. Excessive sunlight 
and heat exposure naturally fades 
and dries out napa leather, causing 
wrinkles and discoloration. If the napa 
leather is wet with liquid, immediately 
clean it with lint-free cloth to minimize 
damage. Do not scratch the napa 
leather surface with a sharp object. 
If your napa leather seat is bright 
colored, it may be contaminated or 
stained from dyed materials such as 
jeans.
Interior wooden trim
• Use a wooden furniture protector (e.g. 
wax, coating compound) to clean the 
interior wooden trim.
• Wipe the interior wooden trim with a 
lint-free, clean cloth to maintain the 
unique wooden textures for a longer 
period of time.
• If you spill beverage (e.g. water, 
coffee) over the interior wooden trim, 
immediately wipe it with clean, dry 
cloth.
• Sharp objects (e.g. driver, knife), 
adhesive materials, or tapes may 
damage the interior wooden trim.
• Any strong impacts may damage the 
interior wooden trim.
• If the coating finish over the interior 
wooden trim is removed, moisture 
may damage or change wood traits.
• If the interior wooden trim is 
damaged, you may get a splinter 
from the wood surface. Therefore, 
you should immediately have the 
damaged interior wooden trim 
replaced by an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products.
Cleaning the seat belt webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any 
mild soap solution recommended for 
cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow 
the instructions provided with the soap. 
Do not bleach or re-dye the webbing 
because this may weaken the seat belt.
Cleaning the interior window glass
If the interior glass surfaces of the 
vehicle become fogged (that is, covered 
with an oily, greasy or waxy film), they 
should be cleaned with glass cleaner. 
Follow the directions on the glass cleaner 
container.
NOTICE
Do not scrape or scratch the inside of 
the rear window. This may result in 
damage to the rear window defroster 
grid.

The emission control system of your 
vehicle is covered by a written limited 
warranty. Please see the warranty 
information contained in the Owner’s 
Handbook & Warranty Information 
booklet in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an 
emission control system to meet all 
applicable emission regulations. There 
are three emission control systems, as 
follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control system
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to ensure the proper function 
of the emission control systems, it 
is recommended that you have your 
vehicle inspected and maintained by an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products in accordance with the 
maintenance schedule in this manual.
NOTICE
For the Inspection and Maintenance 
Test (with Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC) system)
• To prevent the vehicle from misfiring 
during dynamometer testing, turn 
the Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC) system off by pressing the ESC 
switch (ESC OFF light illuminated).
• After dynamometer testing is 
completed, turn the ESC system back 
on by pressing the ESC switch again.
1. Crankcase Emission Control 
System
The positive crankcase ventilation system 
is employed to prevent air pollution 
caused by blow-by gases being emitted 
from the crankcase. This system supplies 
fresh filtered air to the crankcase through 
the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, 
the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, 
which then pass through the PCV valve 
into the induction system.
2. Evaporative Emission Control 
System including Onboard 
Refueling Vapor Recovery 
(ORVR)
The Evaporative Emission Control System 
is designed to prevent fuel vapors from 
escaping into the atmosphere. The 
ORVR system is designed to allow the 
vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded 
into a canister while refueling at the gas 
station, preventing the escape of fuel 
vapors into the atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel 
tank are absorbed and stored in the 
onboard canister. When the engine is 
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the 
canister are drawn into the surge tank 
through the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve 
is controlled by the Engine Control 
Module (ECM); when the engine coolant 
temperature is low during idling, the 
PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel 
is not taken into the engine. After the 
engine warms-up during ordinary 
driving, the PCSV opens to introduce 
evaporated fuel to the engine.

3. Exhaust Emission Control 
System
The Exhaust Emission Control System is 
a highly effective system which controls 
exhaust emissions while maintaining 
good vehicle performance.
When the engine starts or fails to start, 
excessive attempts to restart the engine 
may cause damage to the emission 
system.
Engine exhaust (carbon monoxide) 
precautions
• Carbon monoxide can be present 
with other exhaust fumes. If you smell 
exhaust fumes of any kind in your 
vehicle, drive with all the windows 
fully open. Have your vehicle checked 
and repaired immediately.
 WARNING
Engine exhaust gases contain carbon 
monoxide (CO). Though colorless and 
odorless, it is dangerous and could be 
lethal if inhaled. Follow the instructions 
on this page to avoid CO poisoning.
 WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 
WARNING
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of 
automobile components and parts, 
including components found in the 
interior furnishings in a vehicle, contain 
or emit 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 
component wear contain or emit 
chemicals known to the State of 
California to cause cancer and birth 
defects or other reproductive harm.
• Do not operate the engine in confined 
or closed areas (such as garages) any 
more than what is necessary to move 
the vehicle in or out of the area.
• When the vehicle is stopped in an 
open area for more than a short time 
with the engine running, adjust the 
ventilation system (as needed) to draw 
outside air into the vehicle.
• Never sit in a parked or stopped 
vehicle for any extended time with the 
engine running.
• When the engine stalls or fails to 
start, excessive attempts to restart 
the engine may cause damage to the 
emission control system.
