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.
WARNING
Make sure your line of sight is not
obstructed. Do not place objects in the
rear seat, cargo area, or behind the rear
headrests which could interfere with
your vision through the rear window.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury during an
accident or deployment of the air bag,
do not modify the rearview mirror and
do not install a wide mirror.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror while driving.
This may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
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 this
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.
Electrochromic Mirror (ECM)
ORG3050025N
[A] : Indicator
Some vehicles come equipped with an
electrochromic mirror that helps control
glare while driving at night or under low
light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror. The
sensor detects the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically adjusts to
control the headlamp glare from vehicles
behind you.
Whenever the the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the driver’s view behind the
vehicle.

NOTICE
• Do not close or open the Power Trunk
manually. This may cause damage
to the Power Trunk. If it is necessary
to close or open the Power Trunk
manually when the battery is drained
or disconnected, do not apply
excessive force.
• Do not leave the Power Trunk open
for a long period of time. This may
drain the battery.
• To prevent damage to the trunk lift
cylinders and the attached hardware,
always close the trunk before
driving.
Information
In cold and wet climates, trunk lock and
trunk mechanisms may not work properly
due to freezing conditions.
Power trunk non-opening or closing
conditions:
• The Power Trunk will not open or close
automatically, when the vehicle is
moving more than 1.8 mph (3 km/h).
• The Power Trunk can be operated
when the engine is not running.
However, the Power Trunk operation
consumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the
battery from draining, do not operate
it excessively (e.g., more than
approximately 10 times repeatedly.)
• Do not modify or repair any part of the
Power Trunk by yourself. This must
be done by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
• Before jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the Power Trunk. Do not operate
the Power Trunk when the vehicle is
raised or this could cause the Power
Trunk to operate improperly.
• If there are obstacles such as snow
on the Power Trunk, it may not open
automatically. After removing the
obstacle, try to open it again.
Automatic stop and reverse
ORG3050043
If, during power opening or closing, the
trunk is blocked by an object or part of
someone’s body, the power trunk will
detect the resistance and it will stop
movement or move to the full open
position to allow the object to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak such
as from an object that is thin or soft, or
the trunk is near the latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may not
detect the resistance and the closing
operation will continue. Also, if the
Power Trunk is forced by a strong impact,
the automatic stop and reverse may
operate.
If the automatic stop and reverse feature
operates more than twice during one
opening or closing operation, the Power
Trunk may stop at that position.
If this occurs, close the trunk manually
and operate the trunk automatically
again.

Windshield Washers
ORG3050066
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.
Recirculating air when washer fluid
is used
When washer fluid is used, in order
to prevent the scent from entering
the cabin, recirculation mode and air
conditioning are automatically activated
depending on the outside temperature. If
you select fresh mode while the function
is operating, the function will resume
after a certain amount of time. It may not
work in some conditions such as cold
weather or engine OFF.
For more details, refer to “Climate
Control Additional Features” section in
this chapter.
WARNING
When the outside temperature is below
freezing, ALWAYS warm the windshield
using the defroster to help prevent
the washer fluid from freezing on the
windshield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death.
NOTICE
• To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate 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.

speed is preferred for cooling or
heating with moderate fan speed
capability.
-LOW: Use when low fan speed is
preferred for cooling or heating with
lower fan speed capability.
3. Turn the temperature control knob
to the desired temperature. If the
temperature is set to the lowest
setting (Lo), the air conditioning
system will operate continuously.
After the interior has cooled
sufficiently, adjust the knob to
a higher temperature set point
whenever possible.

In this case, adjust the climate control
system settings again.
When starting the vehicle in cold
weather the more efficient way to heat
the passenger compartment is to do the
following.
- Turn off or lower the blower, right
after starting the engine.
• Allow the engine to warm up during
this time since the air flow from the
heater is still cold.
-After a few minutes of engine warm
up, turn on or set the fan to a higher
level and adjust the temperature
setting to hot.
