We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.
If you carry items inside your
vehicle (e.g., suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else),
they are moving as fast as the
vehicle. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, the items will keep going
and can cause an injury if they
strike the driver or a passenger.
• Put items in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
• Do not stack items, like suit-
cases, inside the vehicle
above the tops of the seats.
• Do not leave an unsecured
child restraint in your vehicle.
• When you carry something
inside the vehicle, secure it.WARNING

Maintenance
Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. Grade C
responds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the labora-
tory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
Tire Terminology and
Definitions
Air Pressure
The amount of air inside the tire
pressing outward on the tire. Air
pressure is expressed in pounds per
square inch (psi) or kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory Weight
This means the combined weight of
optional accessories. Some exam-
ples of optional accessories are
automatic transmission, power
seats, and air conditioning.
Aspect Ratio
The relationship of a tire's height to
its width.
Belt
A rubber coated layer of cords that is
located between the plies and the
tread. Cords may be made from steel
or other reinforcing materials.
Bead
The tire bead contains steel wires
wrapped by steel cords that hold the
tire onto the rim.
Bias Ply Tire
A pneumatic tire in which the plies
are laid at alternate angles less than
90 degrees to the centerline of the
tread. The temperature grade for this
tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
under-inflation, over-inflation,
or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination,
can cause heat build-up and
possible sudden tire failure.
This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.

Maintenance
Interior Care
Interior general precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as
perfume and cosmetic oil, from con-
tacting the interior parts because
they may cause damage or discol-
oration. If they do contact the interior
parts, wipe them off immediately.
See the instructions for the proper
way to clean vinyl.
• Never allow water or other liq-
uids to come in contact with
electrical/electronic compo-
nents inside the vehicle as this
may damage them.
• When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use
neutral detergents or low alco-
hol content solutions. If you use
high alcohol content solutions
or acid/ alkaline detergents, the
color of the leather may fade or
the surface may get stripped off.
Cleaning the upholstery and
interior trim
Vinyl (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from
vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a
vinyl cleaner.
Fabric (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from fab-
ric with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solu-
tion recommended for upholstery or
carpets. Remove fresh spots imme-
diately with a fabric spot cleaner. If
fresh spots do not receive immediate
attention, the fabric can be stained
and its color can be affected.
Also, its fire-resistant properties can
be reduced if the material is not
properly maintained.
Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may
affect the fabric's appearance and
fire-resistant properties.

Leather (if equipped)
• Features of seat leather
- Leather is made from the outer
skin of an animal, which goes
through a special process to be
available for use. Since it is a nat-
ural product, each part differs in
thickness or density.
- Wrinkles may appear as a natural
result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature
and humidity.
- The seat is made of stretchable
fabric to improve comfort.
- The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting
area is high which provides driv-
ing comfort and stability.
- Wrinkles may appear naturally
from usage. It is not a fault of the
product.
• Wrinkles or abrasions which
appear naturally from usage are
not covered by warranty.
• Belts with metallic accessories,
zippers or keys inside the back
pocket may damage the seat
fabric.
• Make sure not to wet the seat. It
may change the nature of natu-
ral leather.
• Jeans or clothes which could
bleach may contaminate the sur-
face of the seat covering fabric.• Caring for the leather seats
- Vacuum the seat periodically to
remove dust and sand on the
seat. It will prevent abrasion or
damage of the leather and main-
tain its quality.
- Wipe the natural leather seat
cover often with dry or soft cloth.
- Use of a proper leather protector
may prevent abrasion of the
cover and helps maintain the
color.
- Be sure to read the instructions
and consult a specialist when
using leather coating or protec-
tive agents.
- Light colored(beige, cream beige)
leather is easily contaminated
and the stain is noticeable. Clean
the seats frequently.
- Avoid wiping with wet cloth. It may
cause the surface to crack.

Maintenance
• Cleaning the leather seats
- Remove all contaminations
instantly. Refer to instructions
below for removal of each con-
taminant.
- Cosmetic products (sunscreen,
foundation, etc.)
Apply cleansing cream on a cloth
and wipe the contaminated spot.
Wipe off the cream with a wet
cloth and remove water with a dry
cloth.
- Beverages (coffee, soft drink,
etc.)
Apply a small amount of neutral
detergent and wipe until contami-
nations do not smear.
- Oil
Remove oil instantly with
absorbable cloth and wipe with
stain remover used only for natu-
ral leather.
- Chewing gum
Harden the gum with ice and
remove gradually.
• Handling prime napa leather
(if equipped)
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, imme-
diately 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 contaminat-
ed 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.
• Often wipe the interior wooden trim
with a lint-free, clean cloth to main-
tain 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 dam-
age 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 immedi-
ately have the damaged interior
wooden trim replaced by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
