NEUTRAL engaged
The message appears on the LCD
display when the N (Neutral) position
is engaged.
Good Driving Practices
Never shift from P (Park) or N(Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
Never shift into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. If the shift
lever is moved to N (Neutral) while
driving, the vehicle loses the ability
to provide engine braking. Doing
so may increase the risk of an acci-
dent.
Also, moving the shift lever back to
D (Drive) while the vehicle is mov-
ing may severely damage the
transmission.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure. When driving in Manual shift mode
with the paddle shifter, slow down
before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not
be engaged if the engine rpms are
outside of the allowable range.
Depressing both accelerator and brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel-
eration. Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal is
released.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.

Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the engine is not running or is
turned off while driving, the power
assist for the brakes will not work.
You can still stop your vehicle by
applying greater force to the brake
pedal than typical. The stopping dis-
tance, however, will be longer than
with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.

Take the following precautions:
Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-
sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
When descending down a
long or steep hill, move the
gear shift lever to Manual
Shift Mode and manually
downshift to a lower gear in
order to control your speed
without using the brake pedal
excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will
cause the brakes to overheat
and could result in a tempo-
rary loss of braking perform-
ance.
Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle's ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes while maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.WARNING

High Performance Brake
(if equipped)
For vehicles equipped with the High
Performance Brake (large-diameter
brembo brakes for enhanced braking
performance), noise such as a
squeal, squeak or groan is generat-
ed while braking. This is normal and
the friction may create circle patterns
on the disc surface. This is also a
normal situation which does not
affect braking performance.
Occasional brake noise is nor-mal. If a continuous grinding or
continuous squeal sound is
present, the brake lining may be
worn-out. Have the vehicle
checked by an authorized retail-
er of Genesis Branded products.
If the vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the
steering wheel while braking,
have the vehicle be checked by
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high pitched warning sound from
your front or rear brakes. You may
hear this sound come and go or it
may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem with your
brakes.
To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue to drive with worn
brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as com-
plete front or rear axle sets.
i
NOTICE
NOTICE
Frequent speeding and braking
may deform components and
worn the disc brake causing
vibration when braking. Prevent
brake damage by avoiding
excessive braking.
Brake wear, noise, vibration
from excessive braking or
deformation of the brakes
caused by repeatedly braking in
high speed, racing on tracks,
etc. can be excluded from war-
ranty coverage.

Do not apply the acceleratorpedal while the parking brake is
engaged. If you depress the
accelerator pedal with the park-
ing brake engaged, warning will
sound. Damage to the parking
brake may occur.
Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the braking sys-
tem and cause premature wear
or damage to brake parts. Make
sure the parking brake is
released and the Brake Warning
Light is off before driving. Check the Parking
Brake Warning Light
by pressing the Engine
Start/Stop button to
the ON position (do
not start the engine).
This light will be illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the
Engine Start/Stop button in the
START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is released and the Brake
Warning Light is OFF.
If the Parking Brake Warning Light
remains on after the parking brake is
released while engine is running,
there may be a malfunction in the
brake system. Immediate attention is
necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the
vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution while
operating the vehicle and only con-
tinue to drive the vehicle until you
can reach a safe location.
NOTICE
Only release the parking
brake when you are seated
inside the vehicle with your
foot firmly on the brake pedal.
Whenever leaving the vehicle
or parking, always come to a
complete stop and continue
to depress the brake pedal.
Shift the vehicle to neutral (for
manual transmission vehicle)
or P (Park, for automatic
transmission vehicle), apply
the parking brake, and press
the Engine Start/Stop button
to the OFF position.
Vehicles with the parking
brake not fully engaged are at
risk for moving inadvertently
and causing injury to yourself
or others.
When parking on an incline,
block the wheels to prevent
the vehicle from rolling down.
NEVER allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the parking brake. If the
parking brake is released
unintentionally, serious injury
may occur.
