Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel 
with one hand. Then, to move the trailer 
to the left, move your hand to the left. To 
move the trailer to the right, move your 
hand to the right. Always back up slowly 
and, if possible, have someone guide 
you.
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make 
wider turns than normal. Do this so your 
trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, 
road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid 
jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in 
advance.
Turn signals
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has 
to have a different turn signal flasher and 
extra wiring. The green arrows on your 
instrument panel will flash whenever you 
signal a turn or lane change. Properly 
connected, the trailer lights will also flash 
to alert other drivers you’re about to turn, 
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows 
on your instrument panel will flash for 
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer 
are burned out. Thus, you may think 
drivers behind you are seeing your 
signals when, in fact, they are not. It’s 
important to check frequently to be sure 
the trailer bulbs are still working. You 
must also check the lights every time 
you disconnect and then reconnect the 
wires.
 WARNING
Do not connect a trailer lighting system 
directly to your vehicle’s lighting 
system. Use an approved trailer wiring 
harness. Failure to do so could result in 
damage to the vehicle electrical system 
and/or personal injury. Consult an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products for assistance.
Driving on hills
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear 
before you start down a long or steep 
downgrade. If you don’t shift to a lower 
gear, you may have to use your brakes 
excessively and they would overheat and 
may not operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift to a lower 
gear and reduce your speed to around 
45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine and transmission 
overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the 
maximum trailer weight without trailer 
brakes and you have an automatic 
transmission, you should drive in D 
(Drive) when towing a trailer.
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive) 
when towing a trailer will minimize heat 
build-up and extend the life of your 
transmission.

• For your safety, change the Settings 
after parking the vehicle at a safe 
location.
• With ‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’ 
selected, when ESC is turned off by 
pressing and holding the ESC OFF 
button for more than 3 seconds,

turned on by pressing the ESC OFF 
button, Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist will maintain the last setting.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 
does not operate in all situations or 
cannot avoid all collisions. 
• The driver should hold the 
responsibility to control the vehicle. 
Do not solely depend on Forward 
Collision-Avoidance Assist. Rather, 
maintain a safe braking distance, and 
if necessary, depress the brake pedal 
to reduce driving speed or to stop 
the vehicle.
• Never deliberately operate Forward 
Collision-Avoidance Assist on people, 
animal, objects, etc. It may cause 
serious injury or death.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist may not operate if the driver 
depresses the brake pedal to avoid 
collision.
• Depending on the road and driving 
conditions, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may warn the driver 
late or may not warn the driver. 
• During Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist operation, the vehicle may 
stop suddenly injuring passengers 
and shifting loose objects. Always 
have the seat belt on and keep loose 
objects secured. 
• If any other system’s warning 
message is displayed or audible 
warning is generated, Forward 
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning 
message may not be displayed 
and audible warning may not be 
generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound 
of Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist if the surrounding is noisy.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist may turn off or may not 
operate properly or may operate 
unnecessarily depending on the road 
conditions and the surroundings.
 WARNING
• Even if there is a problem with 
Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking 
performance will operate normally. 
• During emergency braking, 
braking control by the system will 
automatically cancel when the 
driver excessively depresses the 
accelerator pedal or sharply steers 
the vehicle.

 CAUTION
• Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist operating speed range may 
reduce due to the conditions of 
the vehicle or pedestrian in front 
or surroundings. Depending on the 
speed, the system may only warn 
the driver, or the system may not 
operate.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 
will operate under certain conditions 
by judging the risk level based on 
the condition of the oncoming 
vehicle, driving direction, speed and 
surroundings.
• When a collision with a surrounding 
vehicle is expected, Lane-Change 
Oncoming, Lane-Change Side and 
Evasive Steering Assist functions will 
only warn the driver (if equipped). 
 Information
In a situation where collision is imminent, 
braking may be assisted by Forward 
Collision-Avoidance Assist when braking 
is insufficient by the driver.

 WARNING
• The steering wheel may not be 
assisted if the steering wheel is held 
very tight or the steering wheel is 
steered over a certain degree.
• Lane Keeping Assist does not operate 
at all times. It is the responsibility of 
the driver to safely steer the vehicle 
and to maintain the vehicle in its 
lane. 
• The hands–off warning message 
may appear late depending on road 
conditions. Always have your hands 
on the steering wheel while driving.
• If the steering wheel is held very 
lightly, the hands–off warning 
message may appear because the 
system may not recognize that the 
driver has their hands on the steering 
wheel.
• If you attach objects to the steering 
wheel, the hands-off warning may 
not work properly.
 Information
• For more details on setting the 
functions in the infotainment system, 
refer to “Vehicle Settings” section in 
chapter 4. 
• When lane markings are detected, the 
lane lines on the cluster will change 
from grey to white and the green 
 
indicator light will illuminate.
