Driving your vehicleABS is an electronic braking system
that helps prevent a braking skid.
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time.
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Depress your
brake pedal as hard as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ABS is
active.
ABS does not reduce the time or dis-
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you. ABS will not prevent a skid that
results from sudden changes in
direction, such as trying to take a
corner too fast or making a sudden
lane change. Always drive at a safe
speed for the road and weather con-
ditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-
ty. Always steer moderately when
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-
ing wheel movement can still cause
your vehicle to veer into oncoming
traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light ( ) will stay
on for several seconds after the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position. During that time, the ABS
will go through self-diagnosis and the
light will go off if everything is nor-
mal. If the light stays on, you may
have a problem with your ABS.
Contact an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products as soon
as possible.
Tire chains are installed on
your vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS
or ESC equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed
driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself
or others.

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 ECOmode
The driver's accelerating style is SMART ECO in SMART mode
ECO is selected for Engine/ Transmission in CUSTOM mode
from the AVN screen
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
In SMART mode, if the distance between the vehicle ahead and the
relative speed is within a certain
range (if equipped with Smart
Cruise Control)
Information
• If the front radar for smart cruisecontrol system cannot operate nor-
mally, the inter-vehicle distance and
relative speed condition are auto-
matically ignored (if equipped with
Smart Cruise Control).
• The ECO Coasting is activated after the 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.

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 pre-
requisites to activate the
ISG system are unsatis-
fied. In this case, the ISG OFF but-
ton indicator 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.
