Driving with wheel and tire sizes dif-
ferent than original-equipment may
cause the ESC system to malfunc-
tion. Before replacing tires, make
sure all four tires and wheels are the
same as the original size. Never
drive the vehicle with different sized
tires and wheels installed.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
The Hill-Start Assist Control helps
prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards when starting a vehicle from a
stop on a hill. The system operates
the brakes automatically for approxi-
mately 2 seconds and releases the
brake after 2 seconds or when the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
• The HAC does not operate when
the gear 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.
NOTICE
If the ESC indicator light ( ) or
MDPS warning light ( ) stays
on or blinks, your vehicle may
have a malfunction with the
VSM system.When the warning
light illuminates, have your vehi-
cle checked by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded
products as soon as possible.
WARNING
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting
off on a incline. The HAC acti-
vates only for approximately 2
seconds.

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 products 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. Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Shift
the gear to P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
OFF.
Vehicles with the parking brake
not fully engaged are at risk for
moving inadvertently and caus-
ing injury to yourself or others.

• ALWAYS look around your
vehicle to make sure there are
no objects or pedestrian
before moving the vehicle in
any direction to prevent a col-
lision.
• Do not solely rely on Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist-
Reverse system. The system
might not assist the driver
leading to pedestrian injury or
vehicle damage.
• Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
rear ultrasonic sensors, due
to the objects' distance, size
or material, all of which can
limit the effectiveness of the
sensors.
WARNING
Operating conditions
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-
Reverse system enters the ready
status, when 'Active Assist' or
'Warning Only' is selected in the AVN
system screen and the following con-
ditions are satisfied:
• The trunk is closed
• The shift lever is in R (Reverse)
• Vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10
km/h)
• System components such as the
rear view camera and the rear
ultrasonic sensors are in normal
conditions
The driver needs to select 'Active
Assist' on the AVN system screen for
collision-avoidance assist.
The solid lines behind the vehicle in
the cluster LCD display indicates that
the system is ready to assist the driv-
er.
Note that the system assists the driver
only once. The driver has to shift the
gear to R (Reverse) from another gear
position to reactivate the system.
The performance of the Parking
Collision Avoidance Assist-Reverse
system may vary under certain con-
ditions. If the vehicle speed exceeds
2 mph (3 km/h), the system can
assist only pedestrian collision avoid-
ance.
As always, be careful when backing
up your vehicle and be aware of your
surroundings.
Warning and System Control
Active assist
• If the system detects a risk of colli-
sion with a pedestrian or an object
behind the vehicle, the system will
warn the driver with audible warning,
steering wheel vibration, and warn-
ings on the cluster LCD display and
the AVN system screen.
• If the system detects imminent col-
lision with a pedestrian or an object
behind the vehicle, the system may
apply braking power. The driver
needs to pay attention as the brake
will release within 2 seconds. The
driver must immediately depress
the brake pedal and check sur-
roundings.
