Driving your vehicle
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart
a stalled engine, or if it is necessary
to stop with the engine ON. Shift into
P (Park) if you need to leave your
vehicle for any reason.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through a 8-gear sequence, pro-
viding the best fuel economy and
power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill depress
the accelerator pedal further until
you feel the transmission downshift
to a lower gear.
The DRIVE MODE switch, located
on the shift lever console, allows the
driver to switch from NORMAL mode
to SPORT, ECO or SNOW mode.
When driving in ice or snow condi-
tions, it is recommended you switch
to SNOW mode. Press the DRIVE
MODE switch for 2~3 seconds until
"SNOW" displays in the center of the
instrument cluster. To cancel SNOW
mode, press the DRIVE MODE
switch one time to select NORMAL
mode.
For more information, refer to
"Drive Mode Integrated Control
System" later in this chapter.

Always come to a complete
stop before shifting into or out
of R (Reverse); you may dam-
age the transmission if you shift
into R (Reverse) while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
CAUTION
Do not shift into gear unless
your foot is firmly on the brake
pedal. Shifting into gear when
the engine is running at high
speed can cause the vehicle to
move very rapidly. You could
lose control of the vehicle and
hit people or objects.

Using All Wheel Drive (AWD)
The All Wheel Drive (AWD) System
delivers engine power to front and
rear wheels for maximum traction.
AWD is useful when extra traction is
required, such as when driving on
slippery, muddy, wet, or snow-cov-
ered roads.
If the system determines there is a
need for four wheel drive, the
engine's driving power is distributed
to all four wheels automatically.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Do not drive in water if the level is
higher than the bottom of the vehi-
cle.
• Shorten your scheduled mainte-
nance interval if you drive in off-
road conditions such as sand, mud
or water (see "Maintenance Under
Severe Usage Conditions" in chap-
ter 7).
• Make sure that an AWD vehicle is
towed by flatbed tow truck.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging
off-road conditions.
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
The risk of a rollover is great-
ly increased if you lose con-
trol of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
(Continued)
(Continued)
In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
Always drive safely and use
caution when driving an AWD
vehicle.
WARNING
If the AWD warning light ( )
stays on the instrument cluster,
your vehicle may have a mal-
function with the AWD system.
When the AWD warning light
( ) illuminates have your
vehicle checked by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products as soon as possible.
WARNING
5-54
Driving your vehicle
The drive mode may be selected
according to the driver's preference
or road condition.
The system initializes to the NOR-
MAL mode after the engine has been
turned off and on.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If there is a problem with the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system, the drive mode will be in
NORMAL mode and may not
change to ECO mode, SPORT mode
or SNOW mode.
The mode changes whenever the
DRIVE MODE switch is pressed.
When NORMAL mode is selected,
it is not displayed on the instrument
cluster.
When the DRIVE MODE switch is
pressed for more than one second,
the SNOW mode will operate
regardless of whichever DRIVE
mode (NORMAL/ECO/SPORT) is
operating. If the switch is pressed
once more, the DRIVE mode
(NORMAL/ECO/SPORT) that was
operating previously will operate.
The selected mode is displayed on
the AVN monitor.

tire pressures.
- The vehicle is driven on a
steep slope.
- The vehicle is driven on a
rough, rugged surface.

tem.
WARNING
The Smart Cruise Control
System is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Do not use advanced smart
cruise control when towing a
trailer.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
Always set the vehicle speed
under the speed limit.
If the Smart Cruise Control is
left on, (CRUISE indicator
light in the instrument cluster
is illuminated) the Smart
Cruise Control can be activat-
ed unintentionally.
Keep the Smart Cruise
Control System off (CRUISE
indicator light OFF) when the
Smart Cruise Control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently
setting a speed.
Use the Smart Cruise Control
System only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather.
Do not use the Smart Cruise
Control when it may not be
safe to keep the vehicle at a
constant speed:

LKAS operation
To activate/deactivate the LKAS:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press the LKAS button
located on the instrument panel on
the lower left side of the steering
wheel.
The indicator in the cluster display
will initially illuminate white.
When the indicator(white) activated
in the previous ignition cycle, the
system turns on without any control. (Continued)
When the lane markers are
hard to detect, please refer to
"Limitation of the System".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKAS.
Do not place objects on the
crash pad that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. it may cause malfunction
of LKAS if the sunlight is
reflected.
If you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel, the LKAS will stop con-
trolling the steering wheel
after the hands off alarm.
After then, if you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel, the control will be acti-
vated again.
If the vehicle speed is high,
steering torque for assistance
will not be enough to keep
your vehicle within the lane. If
so, the vehicle may move out
of its lane.

If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, hands off
alarm may not work properly.
