• Pulling into the parking space
where there is a structure
The system may not operate prop-
erly when pulling in the vehicle to
the parking space where there is a
structure at the back or side of your
vehicle.
In certain instances, when backing
into the parking space, the system
may falsely detect the vehicle mov-
ing in front of your vehicle. In this
case, the warning or brake may
operate.
Always pay attention to the parking
space while driving.• When the vehicle is parked rear-
ward
If the vehicle is parked rearward
and the sensor detects the another
vehicle in the rear area of the park-
ing space, the system can warn or
control braking. Always pay atten-
tion to the parking space while
driving.

Operating conditions
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-
Reverse system enters the ready
status, when 'Active Assist' or
'Warning Only' is selected in the AVN
system screen and the following con-
ditions are satisfied:
• The trunk is closed
• The shift lever is in R (Reverse)
• Vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10
km/h)
• System components such as the
rear view camera and the rear
ultrasonic sensors are in normal
conditions
The driver needs to select 'Active
Assist' on the AVN system screen for
collision-avoidance assist.
The solid lines behind the vehicle in
the cluster LCD display indicates that
the system is ready to assist the driv-
er.
Note that the system assists the driver
only once. The driver has to shift the
gear to R (Reverse) from another gear
position to reactivate the system.
The performance of the Parking
Collision Avoidance Assist-Reverse
system may vary under certain con-
ditions. If the vehicle speed exceeds
2 mph (3 km/h), the system can
assist only pedestrian collision avoid-
ance.
As always, be careful when backing
up your vehicle and be aware of your
surroundings.
Warning and System Control
Active assist
• If the system detects a risk of colli-
sion with a pedestrian or an object
behind the vehicle, the system will
warn the driver with audible warning,
steering wheel vibration, and warn-
ings on the cluster LCD display and
the AVN system screen.
• If the system detects imminent col-
lision with a pedestrian or an object
behind the vehicle, the system may
apply braking power. The driver
needs to pay attention as the brake
will release within 2 seconds. The
driver must immediately depress
the brake pedal and check sur-
roundings.

porarily, because the speed is not con-
trolled automatically at this time even
if there is a vehicle in front of you.
Smart Cruise Control will be
temporarily canceled when:
Canceled manually
• Depressing the brake pedal.
• Pushing the CANCEL button locat-
ed on the steering wheel.
The Smart Cruise Control turns off

Chain Installation
When installing AutoSock®(fabric
snow chain), follow the manufactur-
er's instructions and mount them as
tightly as possible. Drive slowly (less
than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with
AutoSock
®installed. If you hear the
fabric snow chains contacting the
body or chassis, stop and tighten
them. If they still make contact, slow
down until the noise stops. Remove
the AutoSock
®(fabric snow chain) as
soon as you begin driving on cleared
roads.
When mounting AutoSock
®(fabric
snow chain), park the vehicle on
level ground away from traffic.
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning
Flasher and place a triangular emer-
gency warning device behind the
vehicle (if available).
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and turn off
the engine before installing
AutoSock
®.
When using AutoSock
®(fabric
snow chain):
• Wrong size fabric snow chains
or improperly installed fabric
snow chains can damage your
vehicle's brake lines, suspen-
sion, body and wheels.
• If you hear noise caused by fabric
snow chains contacting the body,
retighten the chain to prevent
contact with the vehicle body.
• To prevent body damage,
retighten the fabric snow chains
after driving 0.3~0.6 miles
(0.5~1.0 km).
AutoSock
®is a Registered trade-
mark of AutoSock.
Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in chapter 7. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during cold weather. See
chapter 8 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, consult an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded prod-
ucts.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on
the battery system. Visually inspect
the battery and cables as described
in chapter 7. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products or a service sta-
tion.
