AUTO (Automatic) control
(if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls the
wiping cycle for the proper interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain stops, the
wiper stops. To vary the speed set-
ting, turn the speed control knob (B).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position, the
wiper will operate once to perform a
self-check of the system. Set the
wiper to OFF position when the wiper
is not in use.• When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch in the OFF posi-
tion to stop the auto wiper oper-
ation. The wiper may operate
and be damaged if the switch is
set in the AUTO mode while
washing the vehicle.
• Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
passenger side windshield
glass. Damage to system parts
could occur and may not be cov-
ered by your vehicle warranty.
NOTICE

To avoid personal injury from
the windshield wipers, when the
engine is running and the wind-
shield wiper switch is placed in
the AUTO mode:
•Do not touch the upper end of
the windshield glass facing
the rain sensor.
•Do not wipe the upper end of
the windshield glass with a
damp or wet cloth.
•Do not put pressure on the
windshield glass.

Windshield Washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and
wiper operation will continue until
you release the lever. If the washer
does not work, you may need to add
washer fluid to the washer fluid
reservoir.• To prevent possible damage to
the washer pump, do not oper-
ate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty.
• To prevent possible damage to
the wipers or windshield, do not
operate the wipers when the
windshield is dry.
• To prevent damage to the wiper
arms and other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• To prevent possible damage to
the wipers and washer system,
use anti-freezing washer fluids
in the winter season or cold
weather.
NOTICE
OIG046419
When the outside temperature
is below freezing, ALWAYS
warm the windshield using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
shield and obscuring your
vision which could result in an
accident and serious injury or
death.

DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEM
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) System (if equipped)
[A] : Sensor
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system assists the driver
during reverse movement of the vehi-
cle by chiming if any object is sensed
within approximately 50 in (120 cm)
behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, it
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
Operation of the Parking
Distance Warning (Reverse)
system
Operating condition
• This system will activate when
backing up with the Engine
Start/Stop button in the ON posi-
tion. However, if the vehicle speed
exceeds 3 mph (5km/h), the sys-
tem may not detect objects.
• If the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h), the system will not warn
you even though objects are
detected.
• When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
•ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
•Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
•Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.

Types of warning sound and indicatorInformation
• The indicator may differ from the
illustration depending on objects or
sensors status. If the indicator
blinks, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
• If the audible warning does not
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently when shifting into R
(Reverse) position, this may indicate
a malfunction with the Parking
Distance Warning (Reverse) system.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products as soon
as possible.
Non-operational conditions of
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may not operate
normally when any of the following
occur:
• Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
• Sensor is covered with foreign mat-
ter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may experience a
malfunction when the following
occurs:
• Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
• Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
• Heavy rain or water spray is present.
• Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sensor.
• The sensor is covered with snow.
• Any non-factory equipment or acces-
sories have been installed, or if the
vehicle bumper height or sensor
installation has been modified.
i
Types of warning soundIndicator
When an object is 24 to 47 in
(60 to 120 cm) from the rear
bumper, the warning sound
beeps intermittently.
When an object is 12 to 24 in
(30 to 60 cm) from the rear
bumper, the warning sound
beeps more frequently.
When an object is within 12 in
(30 cm) from the rear bumper,
the warning sound beeps
continuously.

Detecting range may decrease when:
• Outside air temperature is extreme-
ly hot or cold.
• Undetectable objects smaller than
40 inches (1 m) and narrower than
6 inches (14 cm) in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
• Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
• Objects, which tend to absorb sen-
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system precautions
• The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may not operate
consistently in some circum-
stances depending on the speed of
the vehicle and the shapes of the
objects detected.
• The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may malfunction
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified
or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
• The sensor may not recognize
objects less than 15 in. (40 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.• When the sensor is blocked with
snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the sys-
tem may be inoperative until the
snow or ice melts, or the debris is
removed. Use a soft cloth to wipe
debris away from the sensor.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
• Do not spray the sensors or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system. Always drive
safely and cautiously.
