2018 GENESIS G90 brake

F11
Introduction
By following a few simple precautions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you
may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute)between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat prop- erly.

tive harm. These include:
Gasoline and its vapors
Engine exhaust

lead, lead compounds and other chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
WARNING

Introduction
F12
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as:

fastened;
brake pedal; and,

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are record-
ed. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the spe-
cial equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR.

Safety system of your vehicle
Carrying long/narrow cargo
Additional cargo space is provided to
accommodate long/narrow cargo
(skis, poles, etc.) not able to fit prop-
erly in the trunk when closed.
1. Pull the armrest down.
2. Pull the cover down while pushingthe release lever down.
Be careful when loading cargo through the rear passenger
seats to prevent damage to the
vehicle interior.
When both the arm rest and the panel, are folded down, put back
the panel first, before folding
back the arm rest. If not, the
panel knobs and the arm rest
knobs may interfere with each
other and get damaged.
NOTICE
OHI036031
Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from being thrown
about the vehicle in a collision
and causing injury to the vehicle
occupants. Do not place objects
in the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly secured and
may hit the front seat occupants
in a collision.
WARNING
Make sure the engine is off,the shift lever is in P and the
parking brake is applied
whenever loading or unload-
ing cargo. The vehicle may
move if the shift lever is inad-
vertently moved to another
position.
When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats,
ensure the cargo is properly
secured to prevent it from
moving while driving.
Unsecured cargo in the pas- senger compartment can
cause damage to the vehicle
or injury to its occupants.
CAUTION

Safety system of your vehicle
Front air bags are not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward by
the force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not provide
any additional benefit.
Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occu-
pants move in the direction of the
collision, and thus in side impacts,
front air bag deployment would not
provide additional occupant protec-
tion.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate depending on the intensi-
ty, vehicle speed and angles of
impact. In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.
Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.

Convenient features of your vehicleThe doors should always be
fully closed and locked while
the vehicle is in motion. If the
doors are unlocked, the risk of
being thrown from the vehicle in
a crash is increased.
WARNING
Do not leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle. An
enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
serious injury to unattended
children or animals who cannot
escape the vehicle. Children
might operate features of the
vehicle that could injure them,
or they could encounter other
harm, possibly from someone
gaining entry to the vehicle.
WARNING
Always secure your vehicle.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked
increases the potential risk to
you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, while
depressing the brake, move the
shift lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion, engage the parking brake,
and place the Engine Start/Stop
button in the OFF position, close
all windows, lock all doors, and
always take the key with you.
WARNING
Opening a door when something
is approaching may cause dam-
age or injury. Be careful when
opening doors and watch for
vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles
or pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
CAUTION

Opening the Hood
1. Park the vehicle and set the park-ing brake.
2. Pull the release lever to unlatch the hood. The hood should pop
open slightly.
3. Raise the hood slightly, push the secondary latch up (1) inside of
the hood center and lift the hood
(2). After it has been raised about
halfway, it will raise completely by
itself.
Closing the Hood
1. Before closing the hood, check thefollowing:
ment must be correctly installed.
bustible material must be
removed from the engine com-
partment.
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted approximately 30cm from the
closed position) and push down to
securely lock in place. Then dou-
ble check to be sure the hood is
secure.

Before closing the hood,
ensure all obstructions are
removed from around hood
opening.
Always double check to be sure that the hood is firmly
latched before driving away.
Check there is no hood open
warning light displayed on the
instrument cluster. Driving
with the hood opened may
cause a total loss of visibility,
which might result in an acci-
dent.
Do not move the vehicle with the hood in the raised posi-
tion, as vision is obstructed,
which might result in an acci-
dent, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
