*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.

The seat warmers can cause a SERIOUS
BURN, even at low temperatures and
especially if used for long periods of
time.
Passengers must be able to feel if the
seat is becoming too warm so they can
turn it off, if needed.
People who cannot detect temperature
change or pain to the skin should
use extreme caution, especially the
following types of passengers:
• Infants, children, elderly or disabled
persons, or hospital outpatients.

seat warmer is in operation, such as a
blanket or seat cushion. This may cause
the seat warmer to overheat, causing a
burn or damage to the seat.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seat warmers
and seats:
• Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline
to clean the seats.

Information
• When your face gets too close or far to
the instrument cluster, or the camera
on the instrument cluster is blocked by
the steering wheel or other objects, the
3D cluster changes to 2D automatically.
However if the object blocking the
camera is removed, the cluster changes
back to 3D automatically.
• If outside temperature is below 39°F
(4°C), it may change to 2D about 1 to
10 minutes.

camera in the following conditions
when:
-The outside brightness is dim or
driving at night
