Emergency Precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip
all four tires with the same size, type,
tread pattern, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
WARNING
Do not use tire and wheel with different
size and type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can affect
the safety and performance of your
vehicle, which could lead to steering
failure or rollover causing serious injury.
In an emergency situation, a compact
spare tire may be used. But, do not use
the compact spare tire continuously.
Repair or replace the original tire as
soon as possible to avoid failure of the
differential or AWD system.
WARNING
ORG3060019
Never start or run the engine while a
vehicle is raised on a jack. The vehicle
can slip or roll off of a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or those
nearby.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with
a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more details, refer to
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection
• If the vehicle needs to be operated on
a vehicle lift do not attempt to stop
any of the four wheels from turning.
This could damage the AWD system.
• Never engage the parking brake while
running the engine on a car lift. This
may damage the AWD system.

Idle Stop and Go helps reduce fuel
consumption by automatically shutting
down the engine, when the vehicle is
at a standstill (i.e. red stop light, stop
sign, and traffic jam) subject to certain
prerequisite conditions being satisfied as
listed below.
The engine is automatically started upon
satisfying the starting conditions.
ISG system is always active, when the
engine is running.
Information
When the engine is automatically started
by ISG system, warning lights (i.e. ABS,
ESC, ESC OFF, EPS, and parking brake
warning light) may illuminate for a few
seconds due to low battery voltage.
However, it does not indicate a
malfunction with ISG system.
ISG System Operation

• The driver's door and hood are closed
• The battery sensor is activated and
the battery is sufficiently charged
• Outside temperature is not too low or
too high
• The vehicle is driven over a constant
speed and stops
• The climate control system satisfies
the conditions
• The vehicle is sufficiently warmed up
• ISG related parts are working properly
• The incline is gradual
• The steering wheel is turned less than
180 degrees and then the vehicle
stops
Information
ISG system is not activated, when the
prerequisites to activate the ISG system
are unsatisfied. If this occurs, the ISG
OFF button indicator illuminates, and the
Auto Stop (
) indicator illuminates in
yellow on the instrument cluster.
When the Auto Stop (
) indicator stays
on the instrument cluster, have the system
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.

stopped automatically when both of the
following occurs:
1. Vehicle speed decreases to 0mph (0
km/h) full stop condition.
2. Brake pedal is depressed and gear is
in D (Drive) or N (Neutral).
The Auto Stop (
) indicator illuminates
in green on the instrument cluster, when
the engine stops.
Information
Idle stop cannot reoccur again until the
vehicle speed goes above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and then returns again to the automatic
stop conditions as previously mentioned.

driving mode
• The driver uses the paddle shifter
• Smart Cruise Control is activated (Set
speed appears on the cluster)
• The vehicle’s speed exceeds 30~100
mph (50~160 km/h) range

speed changes momentarily in Smart
mode
• If lane change is predicated in Smart
mode (e.g. the turn signal is turned
ON or a LKA warning appears due to
steering wheel control, etc.)
Information
It is recommended to turn off the
Coasting function if you are driving under
frequently stop-and-go condition. Change
the drive mode to Comfort or Sport or
deselect Coasting from the infotainment
system screen.
NOTICE
• If the accelerator pedal is pressed
quickly for accelerating with the
Coasting function in operation,
acceleration may occur after the

continue to feel acceleration even
after the system is turned off.
• Driving with the Coasting function
off may be required in some cases
since the engine brake is not applied
while the Coasting function is
operating.
• Operating the infotainment system
screen to activate or deactivate
the Coasting function while driving
may be dangerous as the driver’s
attention is dispersed.

SPECIAL DRIVING
CONDITIONS
Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the following
precautions:
• Drive cautiously and maintain a longer
braking distance.
• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
• When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, or sand, use second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary wheel spin.
• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other
non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow,
or mud.
WARNING
Downshifting with an automatic
transmission while driving on slippery
surfaces can cause an accident. The
sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.

Check spark plugs and ignition system
Inspect the spark plugs, as specified in
chapter 8. If necessary, replace them.
Also check all ignition wirings and
components for any cracks, wear-out,
and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen,
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes,
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorized window
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified
on the window washer container.
Window washer anti-freeze solution is
available from an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products, and most
vehicle accessory outlets. Do not use
engine coolant or other types of anti-
freeze solution, to prevent any damage
to the vehicle paint.Do not let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely to happen when there
is an accumulation of snow or ice around
or near the rear brakes or if the brakes
are wet. When there is the risk that your
parking brake may freeze, temporarily
apply it with the gear in P (Park). Also,
block the rear wheels in advance, so the
vehicle may not roll. Then, release the
parking brake.
Do not let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in such conditions during the severe
winter, you should check underneath
the vehicle on a regular basis, to ensure
that the front wheels and the steering
components is unblocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions,
you should carry appropriate emergency
equipment, while driving. Some of the
items you may want to carry include tire
chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight,
emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the
engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the engine
compartment may cause an engine
failure or combustion, because they may
block the engine cooling. Such damage
will not be covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
