of the vehicle that could injure
them, or they could encounter
other harm, possibly from some-
one gaining entry to the vehicle.

depressing the brake pedal,
shift the gear to the P (Park)
position, engage the parking
brake, and place the Engine
Start/Stop button in the OFF
position, close all windows,

Safe Exit Assist (SEA) System
(If equipped)
Once the system decides it is danger-
ous for a passenger to open a vehicle
door by sensing the approaching of a
vehicle from behind when the person
is opening the door, the warning mes-
sage “Watch for traffic” appears and
the alarming sound will continue for
maximum of five seconds.
This function works for ten minutes
even after the ignition is turned off.

while the Safe Exit Assist (SEA) sys-
tem is in activation.
The Safe Exit Assist (SEA) system is
activated when you select ‘Setup →
Vehicle Settings →Driver Assistance
→ Blind-Spot Safety → Safe Exit
Assist’ from the Settings menu in the
AVN system screen.
For detailed information, scan the
QR code in a separately supplied
simple manual.
OHI048561L
If a vehicle is approaching from
behind is too fast or a door is
opened too suddenly the alarm
system may not set off in time,
which can increase the chance
of an accident. Therefore, when
exiting the vehicle, always check
your surroundings to make sure
that there are no vehicles or
objects approaching.
WARNING
The safe Exist Assist (SEA) sys-
tem may not operate normally
when a vehicle is coming rapidly
two lanes over from your vehicle
or a vehicle is approaching at a
fast speed from the rear in the
lane next to your vehicle.
The Safe Exist Assist (SEA) sys-
tem may be activated later than
normal or may not operate nor-
mally if a vehicle is approaching
fast from the rear of your vehicle.
The Safe Exist Assist (SEA) sys-
tem will not operate if there is a
malfunction with the Blind-Spot
Collision Warning (BCW) system
as follows:
- When the BCW warning mes- sage appears
- When the BCW sensor or the sensor surrounding is polluted
or covered
- When the BCW does not warn or warns wrongly
For more details, refer to cau-
tions and limitations in “Blind-
Spot Collision Warning (BCW)/
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance

Motor-Driven Power Steering
(MDPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, you may still
steer the vehicle, but it will require
increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
If the Motor-Driven Power Steering
(MDPS) System does not operate
normally, the warning light ( )
will illuminate on the instrument
cluster. You may steer the vehicle,
but it will require increased steer-
ing efforts. Take your vehicle to an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products and have the
system checked as soon as possi-
ble.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON posi-
tion.
This happens as the system per-
forms the MDPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed,
the steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the MDPS relay after the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON or
OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperatures, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If the temper-
ature rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.

and height:
Move the switch (1) up and down to
adjust the angle (2).
Move the switch forward or rear- ward to adjust the height (3).

longer than necessary when the
engine is turned off. This may
result in unnecessary battery
drain.

Inside Rearview Mirror
Before driving your vehicle, check to
see that your inside rearview mirror
is properly positioned. Adjust the
rearview mirror so that the view
through the rear window is properly
centered.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS®) Mirror
(if equipped)
The NVS®Mirror automatically
reduces glare by monitoring light lev-
els in the front and the rear of the
vehicle. Any object that obstructs
either light sensor will degrade the
automatic dimming control feature.
For more information regarding
NVS
®mirrors and other applica-
tions, please refer to the Gentex
website:
www.gentex.com
Your mirror will automatically dim
upon detecting glare from the vehi-
cles traveling behind you.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion each time the vehicle is started.
Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System can replace up to three hand-
held radio-frequency (RF) transmit-
ters with a single built-in device. This
innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate devices such
as gate operators, garage door open-
ers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both stan-
dard and rolling code-equipped trans-
mitters can be programmed by follow-
ing the outlined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
®information
can be found at: www.homelink.com,
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex
or by calling 1-800-355-3515. Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as for
future HomeLink
®programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®buttons be erased for
security purposes.
Before programming HomeLink
®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm
or damage. Do not use the
HomeLink
®with any garage
door opener that lacks the safe-
ty stop and reverse features
required by U.S. federal safety
standards (this includes any
garage door opener model man-
ufactured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect
an object - signaling the door to
stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door
opener without these features
increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
