Warning messages
To release EPB, fasten seatbelt,
close door, hood and trunk
If you try to drive with the EPBapplied, a warning will sound and a
message will appear.
If the driver's seat belt is unfas- tened and the engine hood or trunk
is opened, a warning will sound
and a message will appear.
If there is a problem with the vehi- cle, a warning may sound and a
message may appear.
If the situation occurs, depress the
brake pedal and release EPB by
pressing the EPB switch. Do not apply the accelerator
pedal while the parking brake is
engaged. If you depress the
accelerator pedal with the EPB
engaged, a warning will sound
and a message will appear.
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 EPB is released and the
Parking Brake Warning Light is
off before driving.
Information
• A clicking sound may be heardwhile operating or releasing the
EPB. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the EPB is func-
tioning properly.
• When leaving your keys with a parking attendant or assistant,
make sure to inform him/her how to
operate the EPB.
i
NOTICE
Whenever leaving the vehicle
or parking, always come to a
complete stop and continue
to depress the brake pedal.
Shift into the P (Park) posi-
tion, press the EPB switch,
and press the Engine Start/
Stop button to the OFF posi-
tion. Take the Smart Key with
you when exiting the vehicle.
Vehicles not fully engaged in
P (Park) with the parking
brake set are at risk for mov-
ing inadvertently and causing
injury to yourself or others.
NEVER allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the EPB switch. If the
EPB is released unintentional-
ly, serious injury may occur.
Only release the EPB when
you are seated inside the
vehicle with your foot firmly
on the brake pedal.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when starting a vehicle
from a stop on a hill. The system
operates the brakes automatically for
approximately 2 seconds and releas-
es the brake after 2 seconds or when
the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The HAC does not operate whenthe vehicle is shifted to P (Park)
or N (Neutral)
The HAC activates even though the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is off but does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned.
Good Braking Practices
Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed. Your vehicle will not stop
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to pull
to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the
vehicle under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and call an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products for
assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
constant pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear,
and possibly even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward.
NOTICE
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Shift
the vehicle to neutral (for manu-
al transmission vehicle) or P
(Park, for automatic transmis-
sion vehicle), apply the parking
brake, and press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF
position.
Vehicles parked with the park-
ing brake not applied or not
fully engaged may roll inadver-
tently and may cause injury to
the driver and others. ALWAYS
apply the parking brake before
exiting the vehicle.
WARNING
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting
off on a incline. The HAC activates
only for approximately 2 seconds.

Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist ahead on the roadway
through radar signals and camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if neces-
sary, apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist ahead. In these cases, the
FCA system may not operate nor-
mally. The driver must pay careful
attention in the following situations
where the FCA operation may be
limited.The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
The FCA system cannot
detect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a dead
end street).
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
The FCA system operates
only to detect vehicle, pedes-
trian or cyclist in front of the
vehicle.
The FCA system may not
operate when the cyclist is
crossing the vehicle’s path.
The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
The FCA system is not
designed to detect other
objects on the road such as
animals.
The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane.

Jump starting procedure
Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the trunk
compartment, but when you jump
start your vehicle, use the jumper ter-
minal in the engine compartment.
1. Position the vehicles close enoughthat the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the engine compartment at all
times, even when the vehicles are
turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park, for
automatic transmission vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle), and apply the parking
brake. Turn both vehicles OFF. 4. Open the engine hood.
5. Remove the engine room fuse box
cover.
6. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illus-
tration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+)
jumper terminal of your vehicle
(1). 7. Connect the other end of the
jumper cable to the red, positive
(+) battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
8. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) battery/
chassis ground of the assisting
vehicle (3).

What to do in an emergency
9. 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 making
connections.
10. 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.
11. Operate your vehicle for at least 30 minutes of driving or at least 60
minutes of engine running at idle
before shutting off the engine.
Without sufficient time to charge
the battery the vehicle will reoccur
another no start. You can also visit
your nearest Dealer to request the
battery be charged and tested.
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
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transmission cannot be push-start-
ed.
Follow the directions in this chapter
for jump-starting. If your temperature gage 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. Shift the vehicle to P (Park, for automatic transmission vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle), and apply 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.
