9. Connect the second jumper cableto the black, negative (-) battery/
chassis ground of the assisting
vehicle (3).
10. Connect the other end of the sec- ond jumper cable to the black,
negative (-) chassis ground of
your vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the cor-
rect battery or jumper terminals
or the correct ground. Do not
lean over the battery when mak-
ing connections.
11. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run at approxi-
mately 2,000 rpm for a few min-
utes. Then start your vehicle.
12. Keep your vehicle operating for at least 30 minutes at idle or driving
to assure your battery receives
enough charge to be able to start
on its own after the vehicle is
shut off. A complete dead battery
may require as long as 60 min-
utes runtime to fully recharge it. If
vehicle is run for less, the battery
may not restart. If you continue to
have problem, have your author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products test the battery.
If your vehicle will not start after a
few attempts, it probably requires
servicing. In this event please seek
qualified assistance. If the cause of
your battery discharging is not
apparent, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products. Disconnect the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order you connected
them:
1. Disconnect the jumper cable from
the black, negative (-) chassis
ground of your vehicle (4).
2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the black, neg-
ative (-) battery/chassis ground of
the assisting vehicle (3).
3. Disconnect the second jumper cable from the red, positive (+)
battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
4. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the red, positive
(+) jumper terminal of your vehicle
(1).
Push-Starting

transmission cannot be push-start-
ed.

What to do in an emergency
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine may be over-
heating. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (Park) and set the parking brake. If the air
conditioning is ON, turn it OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is com-
ing out from the hood, stop the
engine. Do not open the hood until
the coolant has stopped running
or the steaming has stopped. If
there is no visible loss of engine
coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is
operating. If the fan is not running,
turn the engine off. 4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi-
cle. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when
you stop.)
5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and
call the nearest authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products for
assistance.

While the engine is
running, keep hands,
clothing and tools
away from the moving
parts such as the
cooling fan and drive
belt to prevent seri-
ous injury.

6. If you cannot find the cause of theoverheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been
lost, carefully add coolant to the
reservoir to bring the fluid level in
the reservoir up to the halfway
mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
call an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products for
assistance.
Serious loss of coolant indicates a
leak in the cooling system and
should be checked as soon as
possible by an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.
NOTICE
Your vehicle is
equipped with a pres-
surized coolant reserve
tank. NEVER remove
the radiator cap, drain
plug and heater hose connector
cap (refer to the below picture)
while the engine and radiator
are hot. Hot coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure,
causing serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait
until the engine cools down.
Use extreme care when remov-
ing the coolant reserve tank
cap. Wrap a towel or thick rag
around it, and turn it counter-
clockwise slowly to release
some of the pressure from the
system. Step back while the
pressure is released.
When you are sure all the pres-
sure has been released, contin-
ue turning the cap counter-
clockwise to remove it.

(shown on the cluster LCD dis-
play)
Check Tire Pressure
You can check the tire pressure inthe Assist mode on the cluster.
Refer to the "LCD Modes" in
chapter 3.
Tire pressure is displayed after a few minutes of driving after initial
engine start up.
If tire pressure is not displayed when the vehicle is stopped, "Drive
to display" message will appear.
After driving, check the tire pres-
sure.
The displayed tire pressure values may differ from those measured
with a tire pressure gauge.
You can change the tire pressure unit in the User Settings mode on
the cluster.

What to do in an emergency
Information
If any of the below happens, have the
system checked by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
1. The Low Tire Pressure Telltale/TPMS Malfunction Indicator does
not illuminate for 3 seconds when
the Engine Start/Stop button is
turned to the ON position or engine
is running.
2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator remains illuminated after blinking
for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low Tire Pressure Position Telltale remains illuminated.

Position
Indicator
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and the warning message is
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The LCD posi-
tion indicator will indicate which tire
is significantly under-inflated by illu-
minating the corresponding position
light.
If any of your tire pressures are indi-
cated as being low, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering, and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver's side cen-
ter pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station
or if the tire cannot hold the newly
added air, replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire.
The Low Tire Pressure LCD position
indicator will remain on and the
TPMS Malfunction Indicator may
blink for one minute and then remain
illuminated until you have the low
pressure tire repaired and replaced
on the vehicle.

What to do in an emergency
Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
Place the Engine Start/Stop button in the ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.
Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
Use a vehicle heavier than your own to tow your vehicle.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently.
Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force. Use a towing cable or chain less
than 16 feet (5 m) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 12 inch
(30 cm) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during tow-
ing.
Before towing, check the automat- ic transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the automatic trans-
mission fluid is leaking, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly must
be used.
