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 condi-
tions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle in Safe
Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechani-
cal failure can be extremely haz-
ardous. To reduce the possibility of
such problems, check your tire pres-
sures and condition frequently, and
perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.

Safety system of your vehicle
Do Not Install a Child Restraint
in the Front Passenger's Seat
Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the OCS, never install
a child restraint in the front passen-
ger’s seat. An inflating air bag can
forcefully strike a child or child
restraint resulting in serious or fatal
injury.
Why Didn't My Air Bag Go Off
in a Collision?
Air bags are not designed to inflate in
every collision. There are certain
types of accidents in which the air
bag would not be expected to pro-
vide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third
collisions in multiple impact acci-
dents, 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.
• NEVER place a rearward-fac-
ing or forward-facing child
restraint in the front passen-
ger's seat of the vehicle.
• An inflating frontal air bag
could forcefully strike a child
resulting in serious injury or
death.
• Always properly restrain chil-
dren in an appropriate child
restraint in the rear seat of the
vehicle.
WARNING
OHI039193N
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 sen-
sors. 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 Genesis Part.
This may adversely affect the
collision and air bag deploy-
ment performance.
• Press the Engine Start/Stop
button to the OFF or ACC
position when the vehicle is
being towed to prevent inad-
vertent air bag deployment.
• Have all air bag repairs con-
ducted by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
WARNING
Page 99 of 538

02
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.
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, have your vehicle imme-
diately 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 must be performed by
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products. Improper han-
dling of the SRS system may result
in serious personal injury.
OHI039165N
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, take the follow-
ing precautions:
• Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
• Do not place objects over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, or the front passen-
ger’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 sys-
tem.

Fuel gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.
Information
• The fuel tank capacity is given in
chapter 8.
• The fuel gauge is supplemented by a
low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.
• On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier
than usual due to the movement of
fuel in the tank.Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire,
damaging the catalytic converter.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance that the vehicle has been driv-
en and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should
be performed.
NOTICE
i
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possible
after the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the "E (Empty)"
level.

Convenient features of your vehicle
The Head-Up Display is an optional
feature that allows the driver to view
information projected onto a trans-
parent screen while still keeping your
eyes safely on the road ahead while
driving.
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 diver 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
head-up display angle or the head-
up display brightness level.Have your head-up display main-
tained by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products. The
head-up display maintenance
requires a special windshield exclu-
sive for the head-up display.
• 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.
Information
When replacing the front windshield
glass of the vehicles equipped with the
head-up display, replace it with a
windshield glass designed for the
head-up display operation.
Otherwise, duplicated images may be
displayed on the windshield glass.

NOTICE
HEAD-UP DISPLAY (IF EQUIPPED)
The Blind-spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system warnings on the
head up display are supplemen-
tal. Do not solely depend on
them to change lanes. Always
take a look around before chang-
ing lanes.

Convenient features of your vehicle
When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the engine tem-
perature gauge closely while driv-
ing up hills or in heavy traffic when
outside temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation
when climbing a steep grade or in
high outside ambient temperatures
can cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the fan, but turn
the air conditioning system off if
the engine temperature gauge
indicates engine overheating.
Air conditioning system operation
tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
• After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from recir-
culation mode to fresh mode.
• To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system with the win-
dows and sunroof closed.
• Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
• If you operate air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air
and that of the windshield could
cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button to
the position and fan speed
control to the lowest speed.
System Maintenance
Cabin air filter
[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Climate control air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
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 condi-
tioning 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 and/or
if transporting pets or occupants
smoke inside the vehicle, then more
frequent cabin air filter inspections
and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, the system should be checked at
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
