Some warning sounds (e.g. wel-
come/good-bye sound, virtual
engine sound) are generated
from the exterior amplifiers. If
necessary, we recommend you
to purchase Genesis/Hyundai
Part to replace an exterior
amplifier. Any unauthorized
product may cause a malfunc-
tion of the exterior amplifiers.

Gauges
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the
speed of the vehicle and is calibrated
in miles per hour (mph) and/or kilo-
meters per hour (km/h).
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine revo-
lutions per minute (rpm).
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
This gauge indicates the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant when the
engine is running.
ODH047054L
Do not operate the engine with-
in the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine
damage.

Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• 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.
If the gauge pointer moves
beyond the normal range area
toward the "H" position, it indi-
cates overheating that may
damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehi-
cle overheats, refer to "If the
Engine Overheats" in chapter 6.
CAUTION
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The
engine coolant is under pres-
sure and could severely burn.
Wait until the engine is cool
before adding coolant to the
reservoir.

Low Fuel
This warning message illuminates
if the fuel tank is nearly empty.
- When the low fuel level warning
light is illuminates.
- When the trip computer displays
"--- km(or mile)" as distance to
empty.
Add fuel as soon as possible.
Engine has overheated
This warning message illuminates
when the engine coolant tempera-
ture is above 120°C (248°F). This
means that the engine is overheat-
ed and may be damaged.
If your vehicle is overheated, refer
to "Overheating" in chapter 6.

ECO mode (Active ECO)
Active ECO helps improve
fuel efficiency by control-
ling certain engine and
transmission system
operating parameters.
Fuel efficiency depends on the dri-
ver's driving habit and road condi-
tion.
When the DRIVE MODE switch is
pressed and the ECO mode is
selected, the ECO indicator
(green) will illuminate to show that
the Active ECO is operating.When Active ECO is activated:
The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic
transmission may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the Active ECO sys-
tem is activated to improve fuel effi-
ciency.Limitation of Active ECO opera-
tion:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
When using the automatic trans-
mission Sports mode:
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Install AutoSock®(fabric snow
chain or equivalent product) on
the rear tires for 2WD vehicles or
on all four tires for AWD vehicles.
It should be noted that installing
AutoSock
®(fabric snow chain) on
the tires will provide a greater
driving force, but will not prevent
side skids.
• Do not install studded tires with-
out first checking local, state and
municipal regulations for possible
restrictions against their use.
Chain Installation
When installing AutoSock®(fabric
snow chain or equivalent product),
follow the manufacturer's instructions
and mount them as tightly possible.
Drive slowly (less than 20 mph (30
km/h)) with chains installed. If you
hear the chains contacting the body
or chassis, stop and tighten them. If
they still make contact, slow down
until the noise stops. Remove the
AutoSock
®(fabric snow chain or
equivalent product) as soon as you
begin driving on cleared roads.When mounting AutoSock
®(fabric
snow chain or equivalent product),
park the vehicle on level ground
away from traffic.
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning
Flasher and place a triangular emer-
gency warning device behind the
vehicle (if available).
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and turn off
the engine before installing tire
chains.AutoSock®is a Registered trade-
mark of AutoSock.
Winter precaution
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 cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in section 7. 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 puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the
battery and cables as described in
section 7. The level of charge in your
battery can be checked by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products or a service station. When using AutoSock
®(fabric
snow chain):
Wrong size chains or improp-
erly installed chains can dam-
age your vehicle's brake lines,
suspension, body and wheels.
If you hear noise caused by
chains contacting the body,
retighten the chain to prevent
contact with the vehicle body.
To prevent body damage,
retighten the chains after driv-
ing 0.3~0.6 miles (0.5~1.0 km).
