Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL,
as well as minimize exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.
Your new vehicle is designed to use only unleaded fuel having an octane number
((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. For improved vehicle
performance, premium unleaded fuel with an octane number ((R+M)/2) of 91
(Research Octane Number 95) or higher is recommended. (Do not use methanol
blended fuels.)
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine and engine components, never add any fuel
system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been specified.
Consult an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products for additional
information.
WARNING
• Do not “top off” after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refueling.
• Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident.
Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alcohol) are being
marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline. For example, “E15” is
a gasohol comprised of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline. Do not use gasohol containing
more than 15% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or gasohol containing any methanol.
Either of these fuels may cause drivability problems and damage to the fuel system,
engine control system and emission control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur. “E85” fuel is
an alternative fuel comprised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, and is
manufactured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. “E85” is not compatible
with your vehicle. Use of “E85” may result in poor engine performance and damage
to your vehicle’s engine and fuel system. Genesis Branded Vehicle recommends that
customers do not use fuel with an ethanol content exceeding 15 percent.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle’s engine and fuel system:
• Never use gasohol which contains methanol.
• Never use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol.
• Never use leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
• Never use “E85” fuel.
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the fuel system or any
performance problems caused by the use of “E85” fuel.

To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only
lubricants of the proper quality. The correct lubricants also help promote engine
efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES

2-13
*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers.
*2 : Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional
benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary
to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in
everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*3 : If the above recommended specification oil is not available, SAE 0W-30 grade synthetic
oil can be used. If mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil is used, it is a severe maintenance
condition in terms of engine oil change.
*4 : To maintain the best braking performance and ABS/ESC performance, we recommend
that you use genuine brake fluid that conform to specifications.
*5 : If the front/rear differential is submerged, we recommend that you visit an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products to replace the differential oil.
Recommended SAE Viscosity Number
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler cap, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can
provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any
viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated
in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.

An engine oil displaying this API Certification Mark conforms to the international Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee

this API Certification Mark.

Low washer fluid
This message is displayed if the washer
fluid level in the reservoir is nearly empty.
Have the washer fluid reservoir refilled.
Low fuel
This message is displayed if the fuel tank
is almost out of fuel.

to "Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities“ section in chapter 2.)
Do not overfill the engine oil. Make sure
the oil level is not above F (Full) mark on
the dipstick.
Information
After adding engine oil, if you travel
approximately 31~62 miles (50~100 km)
after the engine warms up, the warning
message should disappear.
If the warning message remains on, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products as
soon as possible.
Engine overheated
This message is displayed when the
engine coolant temperature is above
approximately 248°F (120°C). This means
that the engine is overheated and may

WARNING
• The doors should always be fully
closed and locked while the
vehicle is in motion. If the doors
are unlocked, the risk of being
thrown from the vehicle in a crash is
increased.
• Do not pull the inner door handle of
the driver’s or passenger’s door while
the vehicle is moving.
WARNING
Do not leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle. An enclosed
vehicle can become extremely hot,
causing death or serious injury to
unattended children or animals who
cannot escape the vehicle. Children
might operate features of the vehicle
that could injure them, or they could
encounter other harm, possibly from
someone gaining entry to the vehicle.
WARNING
Always secure your vehicle.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked increases
the potential risk to you or others from
someone hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, while
depressing the brake, shift the gear
to the P (Park) position, engage the
parking brake, and press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF position,
close all windows, lock all doors, and
always take the key with you.
CAUTION
Opening a door when something is
approaching may cause damage or
injury. Be careful when opening doors
and watch for vehicles, motorcycles,
bicycles or pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
WARNING
If you stay in the vehicle for a long time
while the weather is very hot or cold,
there are risks of injuries or danger to
life. Do not lock the vehicle from the
outside when someone is in the vehicle.

Hood
Opening the hood
OJX1059041 OJX1059041
1. Park the vehicle and set the parking
brake.
2. Pull the release lever to unlatch the
hood. The hood should pop open
slightly.
OJX1059042 OJX1059042
3. Go to the front of the vehicle, raise the
hood slightly, push up the secondary
latch (1) inside of the hood center and
lift the hood (2).
After the hood has been lifted halfway,
it will raise completely by itself.
Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check in and
around the engine compartment to
ensure the following:
-Any tools or other loose objects
are removed from the engine room
area or hood opening area
-All glove, rags, or other
combustible material is removed
from the engine compartment
-All filler caps are tightly and
correctly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted
approximately 12 in. (30 cm) from the
closed position) and push down to
securely lock in place. Then double
check to be sure the hood is secure.
If the hood can be raised slightly, it is
not securely locked. Open it again and
close it with more force.
WARNING
• Before closing the hood, ensure
all obstructions are removed from
around the hood opening.
• Always double check to be sure that
the hood is firmly latched before
driving away. Check there is no
hood open warning light or message
displayed on the instrument cluster.
Driving with the hood opened may
cause a total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
• Do not move the vehicle with the
hood in the raised position, as vision
is obstructed, which might result in
an accident, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
