-Oil
Remove oil instantly with
absorbable cloth and wipe with
stain remover used only for natural
leather.
-Chewing gum
Harden the gum with ice and
remove gradually.
• Handling prime napa leather
Try to avoid excessive sunlight and
heat exposure. Excessive sunlight
and heat exposure naturally fades
and dries out napa leather, causing
wrinkles and discoloration. If the napa
leather is wet with liquid, immediately
clean it with lint-free cloth to minimize
damage. Do not scratch the napa
leather surface with a sharp object.
If your napa leather seat is bright
colored, it may be contaminated or
stained from dyed materials such as
jeans.
Interior wooden trim
• Use a wooden furniture protector (e.g.
wax, coating compound) to clean the
interior wooden trim.
• Wipe the interior wooden trim with a
lint-free, clean cloth to maintain the
unique wooden textures for a longer
period of time.
• If you spill beverage (e.g. water,
coffee) over the interior wooden trim,
immediately wipe it with clean, dry
cloth.
• Sharp objects (e.g. driver, knife),
adhesive materials, or tapes may
damage the interior wooden trim.
• Any strong impacts may damage the
interior wooden trim.
• If the coating finish over the interior
wooden trim is removed, moisture
may damage or change wood traits.
• If the interior wooden trim is
damaged, you may get a splinter
from the wood surface. Therefore,
you should immediately have the
damaged interior wooden trim
replaced by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
Cleaning the seat belt webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any
mild soap solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow
the instructions provided with the soap.
Do not bleach or re-dye the webbing
because this may weaken the seat belt.
Cleaning the interior window glass
If the interior glass surfaces of the
vehicle become fogged (that is, covered
with an oily, greasy or waxy film), they
should be cleaned with glass cleaner.
Follow the directions on the glass cleaner
container.
NOTICE
Do not scrape or scratch the inside of
the rear window. This may result in
damage to the rear window defroster
grid.

Operating precautions for catalytic
converters
WARNING
The exhaust system and catalytic
converter are very hot during and
immediately after the engine has been
running. To avoid SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
• Do not park, idle, or drive the vehicle
over or near flammable objects, such
as grass, vegetation, paper, leaves,
etc. A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your vehicle.
• Keep away from the exhaust system
and catalytic converter or you may
get burned.
Also, do not remove the heat sink
around the exhaust system, do not
seal the bottom of the vehicle, and
do not coat the vehicle for corrosion
control. It may present a fire risk
under certain conditions.
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
To prevent damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle, take the
following precautions:
• Use only UNLEADED FUEL for
gasoline engines.
• Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.
• Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting with
the engine off and descending steep
grades in gear with the engine off.
• Do not operate the engine at high idle
speed for extended periods
(5 minutes or more).
• Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission
control system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
• Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the
catalytic converter.
