NOTICE indicates a situation
which, if not avoided, could result
in vehicle damage. Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you use unleaded
gasoline which has an octane number
((R+M)/2) of 91 (Research Octane
Number 95) or higher.
Using unleaded gasoline that is
lower than octane number
((R+M)/2) of 91 (Research Octane
Number 95) could result in loss of
engine power and increase fuel
consumption.
To prevent damage to the engine
and engine components, never
add any fuel system cleaning
agents to the fuel tank other than
what has been specified.
Consult an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products for
additional information.
Gasoline containing alcohol or
methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco-
hol) are being marketed along with or
instead of leaded or unleaded gaso-
line. For example, "E15" is a gasohol
comprised of 15% ethanol and 85%
gasoline.
Do not use gasohol containing more
than 15% ethanol, and do not use
gasoline or gasohol containing any
methanol. Either of these fuels may
cause drivability problems and dam-
age to the fuel system, engine control
system and emission control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any
kind if drivability problems occur.

Average fuel economy/Instant fuel economy
Average Fuel Economy (1)
The average fuel economy is calcu-
lated by the total driving distance
and fuel consumption since the last
average fuel economy reset.
The average fuel economy can be reset both manually and automati-
cally.
Manual reset
To clear the average fuel economy
manually, press the OK button on the
steering wheel for more than 1 sec-
ond when the average fuel economy
is displayed.
Automatic reset
To automatically reset the average
fuel economy, select between "After
Ignition" or "After Refueling" in the
User Settings mode in the cluster
LCD display.
- After ignition: When the engine hasbeen OFF for 4 hours or longer the
average fuel economy will reset
automatically.
- After refueling: The average fuel economy will reset automatically
after adding 1.6 gallons (6 liters) of
fuel or more and after driving speed
exceeds 1 mph (1 km/h).
Information
The vehicle must be driven for a min-
imum of 0.19 miles (300 meters) since
the last ignition key cycle before the
average fuel economy will be recalcu-
lated.
Instant Fuel Economy (2)
The instantaneous fuel economy is displayed according to the bar
graph in the LCD display while
driving.

Driving your vehicle
When certain conditions are met, the
engine is automatically decoupled
from the transmission while the shift
lever is remained in D (Drive). In this
ECO Coasting mode, the engine
stays at idling speed to reduce fuel
consumption and increase coasting
distance. The engine is automatically
coupled back again when ECO
Coasting deactivation conditions are
met. Please refer to ECO Coasting
activation and deactivation condi-
tions.
ECO Coasting Activation
Condition
The ECO Coasting is activated after
depressing and releasing the accel-
erator pedal when:
The Drive Mode is set to the ECO mode
The driver's accelerating style is SMART ECO in SMART mode
The shift lever is in D (Drive)
The Cruise Control/Smart Cruise Control button is OFF
The accelerator or brake pedal is not depressed The vehicle's speed is within 35 –
100 mph (55 – 160 km/h) range
The road gradient is within -5~+5% range
Information
• The ECO Coasting is activated afterthe warming up of the engine and
transmission, and self-diagnosis of
engine sensors are completed.
• Activation of the ECO Coasting may temporarily be delayed accord-
ing to the driving situation even if
the above conditions are met.
ECO Coasting Deactivation
Condition
The ECO Coasting is deactivated
while the function is in activation
when:
The Drive Mode is set to the COM-FORT or SPORT mode
The driver's accelerating style is SMART COMFORT or SMART
SPORT in SMART mode
The Cruise Control/Smart Cruise Control button is ON (the cruise
indicator is ON)
The vehicle's speed exceeds 35 – 100 mph (55 – 160 km/h) range
The road gradient is under -5% or over +5%
Information
It is recommended to deactivate the
ECO Coasting function if you are
driving under frequently stop-and-go
condition. Change the Drive Mode to
COMFORT or SPORT mode or deac-
tivate the ECO Coasting mode from

Driving your vehicle
The ISG system is to reduce the fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill (i.e. red stop light,
stop sign, and traffic jam).
The engine is automatically started
upon satisfying the starting condi-
tions.
The ISG system is always active,
when the engine is running.
Information
When the engine is automatically
started by the ISG system, some warn-
ing lights (i.e. ABS, ESC, ESC OFF,
EPS, and parking brake warning
light) may illuminate for a few sec-
onds due to the low battery voltage.
However, it does not indicate a mal-
function with the ISG system.
To Activate the ISG System
Prerequisite for activation
The ISG system operates in the fol-
lowing situations.
- The driver's seatbelt is fastened.
- The driver's door and the hood are closed.
- The brake vacuum pressure is adequate.
- The battery is sufficiently charged.
- The outside temperature is between 14 °F and 95 °F (-10 °C and 35 °C).
- The engine coolant temperature is not too low.
- The system is not in the diagnostic mode.
Information
• The ISG system is not activated,when the prerequisites to activate
the ISG system are unsatisfied. In
this case, the ISG OFF button indi-
cator illuminates, and the auto stop
indicator ( ) illuminates in yellow
on the instrument cluster.
• When the above indicator remains illuminated on the instrument clus-
ter, we recommend that you have
the IGS system checked by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
