• Do not clean the inside of the
rear window glass with a cleaner
or scraper to remove foreign
deposits as this may cause dam-
age to the antenna elements.
• To prevent damage to the rear
glass antenna, never use sharp
instruments or window cleaner
containing abrasives to clean
the window. Clean the inside
surface of the rear glass window
with a piece of soft cloth.
• Avoid adding metallic coatings
such as Ni, Cd, and so on. These
can degrade the receiving AM
and FM broadcast signals.
• When putting a sticker on the
inside surface of the rear win-
dow, be careful not to damage
the rear glass antenna.
• Do not put sharp instruments
nearby the rear glass antenna.

Driving your vehicle
Before Entering the Vehicle
• Be sure all windows, outside mir-
ror(s), and outside lights are clean
and unobstructed.
• Remove frost, snow, or ice.
• Visually check the tires for uneven
wear and damage.
• Check under the vehicle for any
sign of leaks.
• Be sure there are no obstacles
behind you if you intend to back up.
Before Starting
• Make sure the hood, the trunk, and
the doors are securely closed and
locked.
• Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.
• Adjust the inside and outside
rearview mirrors.
• Verify all the lights work.
• Fasten your seatbelt. Check that all
passengers have fastened their
seatbelts.
• Check the gauges and indicators in
the instrument panel and the mes-
sages on the instrument display
when the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON position.
• Check that any items you are car-
rying are stored properly or fas-
tened down securely. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

Whenever the front door is opened,
the Engine Start/Stop button will illu-
minate and will go off 30 seconds
after the door is closed.
ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON
Driving your vehicle
OIK057001
To reduce risk of serious injury
or death, NEVER allow children
or any person who is unfamiliar
with the vehicle to touch the
Engine Start/Stop button or
related parts. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur.
WARNING
•NEVER press the Engine Start/
Stop button while the vehicle
is in motion except in an emer-
gency. This will result in the
engine turning off and loss of
power assist for the steering
and brake systems.
WARNING
To turn the engine off in an
emergency:
Press and hold the Engine
Start/Stop button for more than
two seconds OR rapidly press
and release the Engine Start/
Stop button three times (within
three seconds).
If the vehicle is still moving, you
can restart the engine without
depressing the brake pedal by
pressing the Engine Start/Stop
button with the shift lever in the
N (Neutral) position.
This may lead to loss of direc-
tional control and braking
function, which could cause
an accident.
•Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
vehicle is in neutral (for manu-
al transmission vehicle) or P
(Park, for automatic transmis-
sion vehicle), apply the park-
ing brake, press the Engine
Start/ Stop button to the OFF
position, and take the Smart
Key with you. Unexpected
vehicle movement may occur
if these precautions are not
followed.
•NEVER reach through the
steering wheel for the Engine
Start/Stop button or any other
control while the vehicle is in
motion. The presence of your
hand or arm in this area may
cause a loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
Good Driving Practices
• Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. This is
extremely dangerous.
• Don't "ride" the brakes. This can
cause the brakes and related parts
to overheat and malfunction.
When you are driving down a long
hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. Engine braking will help slow
down the vehicle.
• Slow down before shifting to a
lower gear. This will help avoid
over-revving the engine, which can
cause damage.
• Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you much
better control of your vehicle.
• Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you shift into R
(Reverse) to prevent damage to
the transmission.• Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident
5
Do not use aggressive engine
braking (shifting from a higher
gear to a lower gear) on slip-
pery roads. This could cause
the tires to slip and may result
in an accident.
WARNING
•Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
•Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
•The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control
of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
•Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
•In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
•Genesis Branded Vehicle rec-
ommends you follow all post-
ed speed limits.To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•ALWAYS wear your seatbelt.
In a collision, an unbelted
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belt-
ed occupant.
WARNING

R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
rearward.To move the shift lever to R
(Reverse), press the UNLOCK but-
ton while depressing the brake pedal
and then move the shift lever for-
ward.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart
a stalled engine.
Shift into P (Park) if you need to
leave your vehicle for any reason.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
In N (Neutral), if the driver attempts
to turn off the engine, the transmis-
sion remains in the N (Neutral) posi-
tion and the Engine Start/Stop button
will be in the ACC position.

To turn off the engine from the ACC
position, press the Engine Start/Stop
button to the ON position, press the
P button, and then press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF posi-
tion.
When either the driver's door or the
front passenger's door is opened
with the Engine Start/Stop button in
the ACC position and the shift lever
in N (Neutral) position, the engine is
automatically turned OFF and the
transmission automatically changes
to the P (Park) position.D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through an eight-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill depress
the accelerator pedal further until
you feel the transmission downshift
to a lower gear. •Do not shift into gear unless
your foot is firmly on the brake
pedal. Press the P (Park) but-
ton when idling the vehicle for
an extended period of time.
The wheels and the transmis-
sion are not engaged. When
parked with the engine run-
ning, press the P (Park) button
and apply the parking brake.
•Do not drive with the shift
lever in N (Neutral). Doing so
may result in an accident
because of a loss of engine
braking and the transmission
could be damaged.WARNING

slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
• Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.
Information - Kickdown
Mechanism
Use the kickdown mechanism for
maximum acceleration. Depress the
accelerator pedal beyond the pressure
point. The automatic transmission will
shift to a lower gear depending on the
engine speed.i
