INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, and thank you for choosing this Genesis Branded Vehicle. We are
pleased to welcome you to the growing number of discerning people who drive the
Genesis Branded Vehicle. We are very proud of the advanced engineering and high-
quality construction of each Genesis Branded Vehicle we build.
Your Owner’s Manual will introduce you to the features and operation of your new
Genesis Branded Vehicle. To become familiar with your new Genesis Branded Vehicle,
so that you can fully enjoy it, read this Owner’s Manual carefully before driving your
new vehicle.
This manual contains important safety information and instructions intended to
familiarize you with your vehicle’s controls and safety features so you can safely
operate your vehicle.
This manual also contains information on maintenance designed to enhance safe
operation of the vehicle. It is recommended that all service and maintenance on your
car be performed by an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products. Retailers of
Genesis Branded products are prepared to provide high-quality service, maintenance
and any other assistance that may be required.

GENESIS CUSTOMER CARE
CAUTION
Severe engine and transmission damage may result from the use of poor quality
fuels and lubricants that do not meet Genesis Branded Vehicle specifications. You
must always use high quality fuels and lubricants that meet the specifications listed
on Page 2-14 in the Vehicle Specifications section of the Owner’s Manual.

*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
(ILSAC). It is recommended to only use engine oils that uphold
this API Certification Mark.

Safety System
3-2
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual.
The safety precautions in this section are
among the most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all
types of accidents. Air bags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not replace
them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make
sure you and your passengers wear your
seat belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain All Children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in a
rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and
small children should be restrained in
an appropriate Child Restraint System.
Larger children should use a booster
seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they
can use the seat belt properly without a
booster seat.
Air Bag Hazards
While air bags can save lives, they can
also cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained. Infants,
young children, and short adults are at
the greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be
the first concern when behind the wheel
and drivers need to be aware of the wide
array of potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passengers,
and using mobile phones.Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel to
focus on activities other than driving.
To reduce your risk of distraction and an
accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation
units, etc.) when your vehicle is
parked or safely stopped.
• ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed by laws and conditions permit
safe use. NEVER text or email while
driving. Most countries have laws
prohibiting drivers from texting. Some
countries and cities also prohibit
drivers from using handheld phones.
• NEVER let the use of a mobile device
distract you from driving. You have a
responsibility to your passengers and
others on the road to always drive
safely, with your hands on the wheel
as well as your eyes and attention on
the road.
Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash
injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but
serious injuries can also occur at lower
speeds. Never drive faster than is safe
for current conditions, regardless of the
maximum speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle in Safe
Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical
failure can be extremely hazardous. To
reduce the possibility of such problems,
check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regularly
scheduled maintenance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety System
3-70
Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the Front Passenger's
Seat
OHI039193NOHI039193N
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat.
An inflating air bag can forcefully strike a
child or child restraint resulting in serious
or fatal injury.
WARNING
• NEVER place a rearward-facing or
forward-facing child restraint in the
front passenger's seat of the vehicle.
• An inflating frontal air bag could
forcefully strike a child resulting in
serious injury or death.
• Always properly restrain children in
an appropriate child restraint in the
rear seat of the vehicle.
Why Didn’t My Air Bag Go Off in
a Collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third
collisions in multiple impact accidents,
as well as low speed impacts. Damage to
the vehicle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should have
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and causing
serious injury or death:
• Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bags
or sensors are installed.
• Do not perform maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors. If the
location or angle of the sensors is
altered, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or may not
deploy when they should.
• Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine part. This may adversely
affect the collision and air bag
deployment performance.
• Press the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF or ACC position and wait for
3 minutes when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent air bag
deployment.
• Have all air bag repairs conducted
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate when
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system be
immediately inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel, the front
passenger’s panel, front seats and roof
rails be performed by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Improper handling of the SRS system
may result in serious personal injury. WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death take the following precautions:
• Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of any
kind of badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure.
• Do not place objects over or near
the air bag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger’s panel above the
glove box.
• Clean the air bag pad covers with
a soft cloth moistened with plain
water. Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag covers
and proper deployment of the
system.
• Always have inflated air bags
replaced by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
• If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed.
Consult an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products for the
necessary information. Failure to
follow these precautions could
increase the risk of personal injury.
