To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH to you or bystanders,
always follow these precautions
when working near or handling
the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully
when handling a battery.Wear eye protection
designed to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks,
or smoking materials
away from the battery.
Hydrogen is always present in battery cells,
is highly combustible,
and may explode if ignit-
ed.
Keep batteries out of
reach of children.
Batteries contain sulfu-
ric acid which is highly
corrosive. Do not allow
acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get imme-
diate medical attention. If acid
gets on your skin, thoroughly
wash the area. If you feel pain or
a burning sensation, get med-
ical attention immediately. (Continued)
WARNING(Continued)
When lifting a plastic-casedbattery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Do not attempt to jump start your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.
NEVER attempt to recharge the battery when the vehicle’s
battery cables are connected
to the battery.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.
NEVER touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or when the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.

ture area, disconnect the battery
and keep it indoors.
Always charge the battery fully to prevent battery case damage
in low temperature areas.
For Best Battery Service
Keep the battery securely mount-ed.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connec- tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
Rinse any spilled acid from the bat- tery immediately with a solution of

Battery Recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.
AGM battery
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) batteries are maintenance-free
and we recommend that the
AGM battery be serviced by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products. For charging
your AGM battery, use only fully
automatic battery chargers that
are specially developed for AGM
batteries.
When replacing the AGM bat- tery, we recommend that you
use parts for replacement from
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
Do not open or remove the cap on top of the battery. This may
cause leaks of internal elec-
trolyte that could result in
severe injury.
NOTICE
Always follow these instruc-
tions when recharging your
vehicle's battery to avoid the
risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH from explosions or acid
burns:
Before performing mainte-nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and press the Engine Start/
Stop button to the OFF posi-
tion.
Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking materials away from
the battery.
Always work outdoors or in an area with plenty of ventilation.
Wear eye protection when checking the battery during
charging.
The battery must be removed from the vehicle and placed in
a well ventilated area.
Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin boiling violently.

Maintenance
By jump starting
After a jump start from a good bat-
tery, drive the vehicle for 20-30 min-
utes before it is shutoff. The vehicle
may not restart if you shut it off
before the battery had a chance to
adequately recharge. See "Jump
Starting" in chapter 6 for more infor-
mation on jump starting procedures.
Information
An inappropriately disposedbattery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health.
Dispose the battery according to your
local law(s) or regulation.
Reset features
Some items need to be reset after
the battery has been discharged or
the battery has been disconnected.
See chapter 3 for:
Auto up/down window
Sunroof
Trip computer
Climate control system
Power trunk
Clock
Seat position memory system

(Continued)
The negative battery cable must be removed first and
installed last when the battery
is disconnected. Disconnect
the battery charger in the fol-
lowing order:
(a) Turn off the battery charger main switch.
(b) Unhook the negative
clamp from the negative
battery terminal (1).
(c) Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery
terminal (2).
Always use a Genesis/ Hyundai Part approved bat-
tery when you replace the bat-
tery.

chemicals, fabric and steel or other
materials, that, when mounted on an
automotive wheel provides the trac-
tion and contains the gas or fluid that
sustains the load.
Pneumatic options weight
The combined weight of installed
regular production options weighing
over 5 lb. (2.3 kg) in excess of the
standard items which they replace,
not previously considered in curb
weight or accessory weight, includ-
ing heavy duty breaks, ride levelers,
roof rack, heavy duty battery, and
special trim.
Recommended InflationPressure
Vehicle manufacturer's recommend-
ed tire inflation pressure as shown
on the tire placard.
Radial Ply Tire
A pneumatic tire in which the ply
cords that extend to the beads are
laid at 90 degrees to the centerline of
the tread.
Rim
A metal support for a tire and upon
which the tire beads are seated.
Sidewall
The portion of a tire between the
tread and the bead.
Speed Rating
An alphanumeric code assigned to a
tire indicating the maximum speed at
which a tire can operate.
Traction
The friction between the tire and the
road surface. The amount of grip pro-
vided.
Tread
The portion of a tire that comes into
contact with the road.
Treadwear Indicators
Narrow bands, sometimes called
"wear bars", that show across the
tread of a tire when only 1/16 inch of
tread remains.
UTQGS
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Standards is a tire information sys-
tem that provides consumers with
ratings for a tire's traction, tempera-
ture and treadwear. Ratings are
determined by tire manufacturers
using government testing proce-
dures. The ratings are molded into

A vehicle's electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 4 fuse panels, one
located in the driver's side panel bol-
ster, another in the engine compart-
ment, and two others in the trunk
compartment.
If any of your vehicle's lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse
has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted or broken.If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver's side
fuse panel. Before replacing a blown
fuse, turn the engine and all switches
off, and then disconnect the negative
battery cable. Always replace a
blown fuse with one of the same rat-
ing.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.
Information
Four kinds of fuses are used : blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type/Multi fuse/Fusible link for
higher amperage ratings.
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the sys-
tem.

NEVER replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of the
same rating.
A higher capacity fuse couldcause damage and possibly
cause a fire.
Do not install a wire or alu- minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tempo-
rary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
possibly a fire.
