Precautions While Using the 
Head-Up Display
• It may sometimes be difficult to read 
information on the Head-Up Display in 
the following situations.
 -The driver is improperly positioned 
in the driver’s seat
 -The driver wears polarizing-filter 
sunglasses
 -An object is located above the 
Head-Up Display cover
 -The vehicle is driven on a wet road
 -Any improper lighting accessory is 
installed inside the vehicle, or there 
is incoming light from outside of the 
vehicle
 -The driver wears glasses
 -The driver wears contact lenses
When it is difficult to read the Head-
Up Display information, adjust the 
image height or brightness level from 
the Settings menu in the infotainment 
system screen.
• For your safety, make sure to stop the 
vehicle before adjusting the settings.
• Do not tint the front windshield glass 
or add other types of metallic coating. 
Otherwise, the Head-Up Display 
image may be invisible.
• Do not place any accessories on the 
crash pad or attach any objects on the 
windshield glass.
• When replacing the front windshield 
glass, replace it with a windshield 
glass designed for Head-Up Display 
operation. Otherwise, duplicated 
images may be displayed on the 
windshield glass.

The cabin air filter is installed behind 
the glove box. It filters the dust or other 
pollutants that enter the vehicle through 
the heating and air conditioning system.
Have the cabin air filter replaced by an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products according to the maintenance 
schedule. If the vehicle is being driven in 
severe conditions such as dusty or rough 
roads, more frequent cabin air filter 
inspections and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases, 
have the system inspected at an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products.
Checking the amount of air 
conditioner refrigerant and 
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low, 
the performance of the air conditioning 
is reduced. Overfilling also reduces the 
performance of the air conditioning 
system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is 
found, have the system inspected by an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products.
NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and 
amount of oil and refrigerant is used. 
Otherwise, damage to the compressor 
and abnormal system operation may 
occur. To prevent damage, the air 
conditioning system in your vehicle 
should only be serviced by trained and 
certified technicians.

Driving Your Vehicle

Chain Installation
When installing tire chains, follow the 
manufacturer’s instructions and mount 
them as tightly possible. Drive slowly 
(less than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with 
chains installed. If you hear the chains 
contacting the body or chassis, stop and 
tighten them. If they still make contact, 
slow down until the noise stops. Remove 
the tire chains as soon as you begin 
driving on cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains, park the 
vehicle on level ground away from traffic. 
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning 
Flasher and place a triangular emergency 
warning device behind the vehicle (if 
available). Always place the vehicle in P 
(Park), apply the parking brake and turn 
off the engine before installing snow 
chains.
NOTICE
When using tire chains:
• Wrong size chains or improperly 
installed chains can damage your 
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, 
body and wheels.
• Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.
• If you hear noise caused by chains 
contacting the body, retighten the 
chain to prevent contact with the 
vehicle body.
• To prevent body damage, retighten 
the chains after driving 0.3~0.6 miles 
(0.5~1.0 km).
• Do not use tire chains on vehicles 
equipped with aluminum wheels. If 
unavoidable, use a wire type chain.
• Use wire chains less than 0.47 in. (12 mm) thick to prevent damage to the chain’s connection.
Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high 
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the 
cooling system. It is the only type of 
coolant that should be used because it 
helps prevent corrosion in the cooling 
system, lubricates the water pump and 
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or 
replenish your coolant in accordance 
with the maintenance schedule in 
chapter 9. Before winter, have your 
coolant tested to assure that its freezing 
point is sufficient for the temperatures 
anticipated during the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery 
performance. Inspect the battery and 
cables, as specified in chapter 9. The 
battery charging level can be checked by 
an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products or in a service station.
Change to “winter weight” oil if 
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is 
recommended to use the “winter 
weight” oil with lower viscosity. In 
addition, replace the engine oil and filter 
if it is close to the next maintenance 
interval. Fresh engine oil ensures 
optimum engine operation during the 
winter months. For further information, 
refer to chapter 2. When you are not sure 
about a type of winter weight oil, consult 
an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products.

 WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 
WARNING
Engine oil contains chemicals known to 
the State of California to cause cancer, 
birth defects and reproductive harm.
Used engine oil may cause irritation or 
cancer of the skin if left in contact with 
the skin for prolonged periods of time.
Always protect your skin by washing 
your hands thoroughly with soap and 
warm water as soon as possible after 
handling used oil.
