Automatic reverse
ODH043039ODH043039
If the sunroof senses any obstacle while 
it is closing automatically, it will reverse 
direction then stop to allow the object to 
be cleared.
The auto reverse function does not work 
if a small obstacle is between the sliding 
glass and the sunroof sash.
You should always check that all 
passengers and objects are away from 
the sunroof before closing it.
 WARNING
Small objects that can get caught 
between the sunroof glass and the front 
glass channel may not be detected by 
the automatic reverse system. In this 
case, the sunroof glass will not detect 
the object and reverse direction.
NOTICE

accumulate on the sunroof guide 
rail or between the sunroof and roof 
panel which can make a noise.

the temperature is below freezing 
or when the sunroof is covered with 
snow or ice, otherwise the motor

Opening the hood
OJX1059041 OJX1059041 
1. Park the vehicle and set the parking 
brake.
2. Pull the release lever to unlatch the 
hood. The hood should pop open 
slightly.
OJX1059042 OJX1059042 
3. Go to the front of the vehicle, raise the 
hood slightly, push up the secondary 
latch (1) inside of the hood center and 
lift the hood (2).
After the hood has been lifted halfway, 
it will raise completely by itself.
Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check in and 
around the engine compartment to 
ensure the following:
 -Any tools or other loose objects 
are removed from the engine room 
area or hood opening area
 -All glove, rags, or other 
combustible material is removed 
from the engine compartment
 -All filler caps are tightly and 
correctly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted 
approximately 12 in. (30 cm) from the 
closed position) and push down to 
securely lock in place. Then double 
check to be sure the hood is secure. 
If the hood can be raised slightly, it is 
not securely locked. Open it again and 
close it with more force.
 WARNING
• Before closing the hood, ensure 
all obstructions are removed from 
around the hood opening.
• Always double check to be sure that 
the hood is firmly latched before 
driving away. Check there is no 
hood open warning light or message 
displayed on the instrument cluster. 
Driving with the hood opened may 
cause a total loss of visibility, which 
might result in an accident.
• Do not move the vehicle with the 
hood in the raised position, as vision 
is obstructed, which might result in 
an accident, and the hood could fall 
or be damaged.

NOTICE
• The power liftgate can be operated 
when the engine is not running. 
However, power liftgate operation 
consumes a large amount of eclectic 
power. To prevent the battery from 
being discharged, do not operate it 
excessively (e.g. more than 5 times 
repeatedly).
• To prevent the battery from being 
discharged, do not leave the power 
liftgate in the open position for a 
long time.
• Do not modify or repair any part 
of the power liftgate by yourself. 
This must be done by an authorized 
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
• When jacking up the vehicle to 
change a tire or repair the vehicle, do 
not operate the power liftgate. This 
could cause the power liftgate to 
operate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the power 
liftgate may not work properly due to 
freezing conditions.
Automatic reverse
OJX1059048LOJX1059048L
During power opening or closing if the 
power liftgate senses any obstacle, the 
power liftgate will stop and move in the 
opposite direction.
The auto reverse function may not work 
if objects are too soft or thin, or if the 
liftgate is almost fully closed near the 
latched position.
Caution should be taken to prevent any 
objects from obstructing the liftgate 
opening.
If the automatic reverse feature operates 
more than two times while attempting 
to open or close the liftgate, the power 
liftgate may stop at that position. If 
this occurs, carefully close the liftgate 
manually, and then try to operate the 
power liftgate automatically again.
 WARNING
Never intentionally place any object 
or part of your body in the path of 
the power liftgate to make sure the 
automatic reverse function operates.
NOTICE
Do not put heavy objects on the power 
liftgate before you operate the power 
liftgate. Additional weight may damage 
the operation of the system.
