*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*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 : Requires < API SN PLUS (or above) full synthetic> grade engine oil. If a lower grade engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine oil and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated for severe maintenance conditions.
*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 plug, 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 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 by 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.

 WARNING
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and 
death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows 
immediately. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the 
oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you 
drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle, have the exhaust 
system checked as soon as possible by an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous 
practice. Run the engine only long enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle 
out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the 
vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at “Fresh” and fan 
control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes 
located in front of the windshield clear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.
If you must drive with the liftgate open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at “Fresh”, the air flow control at “Floor” or “Face”, and the fan 
control set to high.

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.Check spark plugs and ignition system
Inspect the spark plugs, as specified in 
chapter 9. If necessary, replace them. 
Also check all ignition wirings and 
components for any cracks, wear-out, 
and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen, 
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin 
into key holes. When a lock opening is 
already covered with ice, spray approved 
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it. 
When an internal part of a lock freezes, 
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully 
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from 
being frozen, add authorized window 
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified 
on the window washer container. 
Window washer anti-freeze solution is 
available from an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products, and most 
vehicle accessory outlets. Do not use 
engine coolant or other types of anti-
freeze solution, to prevent any damage 
to the vehicle paint.

or distance shown in the chart, continue to follow the prescribed maintenance intervals.
NOTICE
After 10 years or 100,000 miles, we recommend to use severe maintenance schedule.
 Information
• As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be 
checked on regular basis. 
• The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the 
recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not used, then 
replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions. 
• The vehicle may be equipped with the Engine Oil Change Reminder that predicts engine oil life 
based on the driver’s driving history and alerts the driver to change engine oil.
  -If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver’s driving severity, 
the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster before the normal engine oil 
replacement interval. Have the engine oil and filter changed by an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded product.
  -Engine Oil Change Reminder works when the recommended engine oil is used. So, if 
recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according to the maintenance 
schedule under severe usage condition.
Also, check the amount of engine oil regularly as this system assumes that the engine oil is 
being filled normally.
  -Always reset the remaining engine oil life whenever the engine oil is changed. Otherwise, the 
Engine Oil Change Reminder will not be correct.
To reset the Engine Oil Change Reminder, select ‘RESET’ from the infotainment system 
screen. Then, select ‘Yes’ when the message “Changed engine oil? Press [Yes] to reset the oil 
life.” appears on the screen.
  -If there is no alert until the maximum maintenance interval, have the vehicle checked by an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded product.
