2020 GENESIS G90 tow

Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with all
wheels off the ground, either on a
flatbed tow truck or using doilies.
For more details, refer to "Towing"
in chapter 6.
Vehicle inspection
If the vehicle needs to be operatedon a vehicle lift do not attempt to
stop any of the four wheels for turn-
ing. This could damage the sys-
tem.
Never engage the parking brake while running the engine on a car
lift. This may damage the AWD
system.
Dynamometer testing
An AWD vehicle must be tested on a
special four wheel chassis dynamome-
ter.
An AWD vehicle should not be tested
on a 2WD roll tester. If a 2WD roll
tester must be used, perform the fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Check the tire pressures recom- mended for your vehicle.
2. Place the rear wheels on the roll tester for a speedometer test as
shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the front wheels on the tem- porary free roller as shown in the
illustration.

FCA is only a supplementalsystem for the driver's con-
venience. It is the driver's
responsibility to control the
vehicle operation. Do not
solely depend on the FCA
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed or to stop the vehicle.
WARNING
In certain instances andunder certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
produce a warning alarm and
control the brake system
unnecessarily. And, the FCA
system may not produce a
warning alarm and control the
brake system due to detecting
limitation of sensor.
Also due to sensing limita-
tions, in certain situations, the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle or pedestri-
an ahead. The FCA system
may not activate and the
warning message may not be
displayed.
Even if there is any problem with the brake control func-
tion of the FCA system, the
vehicle's basic braking per-
formance will operate normal-
ly. However, brake control
function for avoiding collision
will not activate.
If the vehicle in front stops suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
The FCA system may activate during braking and the vehi-
cle may stop suddenly shift-
ing loose objects toward the
passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured.
The FCA system may not acti- vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid collision.

such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel
The shadow is on the road by a median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll- gate.
The rear part of the vehicle in front is not normally visible (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.)
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
The vehicle in front is moving verti- cally to the driving direction
The vehicle in front is stopped ver- tically
The vehicle in front is driving towards your vehicle or reversing

adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
The FCA system is designed to help detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect motorcy-
cles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage
bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
Never try to test the operation of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.
If the front bumper, front glass, radar or camera have
been replaced or repaired,
have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.

cautiously to prevent unex-
pected and sudden situations
from occurring.
Turn off the Smart Cruise Control system when the
vehicle is being towed.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem may operate limitedly
when towing a trailer or vehi-
cle so always drive cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following pre-
cautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-essary, you must apply the
brakes. The smart cruise con-
trol system cannot guarantee
the stop for every emergency
situation.
Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle
speed. If the vehicle to vehicle
distance is too close during a
high-speed driving, a serious
collision may result.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying the
brakes if necessary.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians or
an oncoming vehicle. Always
look ahead cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
Vehicles moving in front of you with a frequent lane change
may cause a delay in the sys-
tem's reaction or may cause the
system to react to a vehicle
actually in an adjacent lane.
Always drive cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
Always be aware of the select- ed speed and vehicle to vehicle
distance. The driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention to driving
conditions and control your
vehicle speed.

Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tire damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more dis-
tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control.
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windshield.
Be sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See "Tire Replacement" in chap-
ter 7.
Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases
as the depth of tire tread decreas-
es, refer to "Tire Replacement" in
chapter 7.
