rear doors. The rear door safety locks
should be used whenever children

Easy Access Function
When exiting the vehicle, the steering
wheel will move away from the driver
and the driver seat will move rear-
ward when the engine is turned off
and door is opened. When entering
the vehicle, the steering wheel will
move toward the driver and the driver
seat will move forward when the
Engine Start/Stop button is pressed
to the ACC position.
You can activate or deactivate the
Driver easy access function from the
User Settings mode on the LCD dis-
play. For more information, refer to
"LCD Display" in this chapter.

passenger’s seat moves backward
for his/her convenience, when a cor-
responding door is opened with the
DOOR button in the ON position.
Motor-Driven Power Steering
(MDPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, you may still
steer the vehicle, but it will require
increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
If the Motor-Driven Power Steering
(MDPS) System does not operate
normally, the warning light ( )
will illuminate on the instrument
cluster. You may steer the vehicle,
but it will require increased steer-
ing efforts. Take your vehicle to an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products and have the
system checked as soon as possi-
ble.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high imme-diately after the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the MDPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed,
the steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the MDPS relay after the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON or
OFF position.

• Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnormal
noise may occur. If temperature
rises, the noise will disappear. This
is a normal condition.
• When an error is detected from the MDPS, the assistant function of
steering effort will not be activated
in order to prevent fatal accidents.
Instrument cluster warning lights
may be on or the steering effort may
be high. When the following symp-
toms occur, immediately drive the
vehicle to a safe area and check it.
Tilt Steering / Telescope Steering
Adjust the steering wheel so it points
toward your chest, not toward your
face. Make sure you can see the
instrument cluster warning lights and
gauges. Always adjust the position of
the steering wheel before driving.
To change the steering wheel angle
and height:
Move the switch (1) up and down toadjust the angle (2).
Move the switch forward or rear- ward to adjust the height (3).
Do not adjust the steering wheel
longer than necessary when the
engine is turned off. This may result
in unnecessary battery drain.
NOTICE

wheel while driving. This may
cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.

Inside Rearview Mirror
Before you start driving, adjust the
rearview mirror to the center on the
view through the rear window.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a
Gentex Automatic-Dimming Mirror

There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle mag-
nets, such as installing a ski rack or
a CB antenna. Body repair work on
the vehicle can also cause changes
to the vehicle's magnetic field. In
these situations, the compass will
need to be re-calibrated to quickly
correct these changes.
If you need to recalibrate the com-
pass:
1. Press and hold the Control Buttonfor more than 6 seconds. When
the compass memory is cleared, a
"C" will appear in the display.
2. Drive the vehicle in 2 complete cir- cles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System can replace up to three
hand-held radio-frequency (RF)
transmitters with a single built-in
device. This innovative feature will
learn the radio frequency codes of
most current transmitters to operate
devices such as gate operators,
garage door openers, entry door
locks, security systems, even home
lighting. Both standard and rolling
code-equipped transmitters can be
programmed by following the out-
lined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
®information
can be found at: www.homelink.com,
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as for
future HomeLink
®programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®buttons be erased for
security purposes. Before programming HomeLink
®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm
or damage. Do not use the
HomeLink
®with any garage door
opener that lacks the safety stop
and reverse features required by
U.S. federal safety standards (this
includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April
1, 1982). A garage door that can-
not detect an object - signaling
the door to stop and reverse -
does not meet current U.S. feder-
al safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without
these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.
