In case of an emergency
OJK051036N OJK051036N
In case of emergency such as when the
battery is discharged, the only way to
lock the door(s) is with the mechanical
key from the outside key hole.
Doors without an outside key hole can be
locked as follows:
1. Open the door.
2. Insert the key into the emergency
door lock hole and turn the key to the
lock position.
3. Close the door securely.
Information
If the electrical power door lock switch
does not operate (ex. dead car battery) and
the liftgate is closed, you will not be able to
open the liftgate until power is restored.
WARNING
• The doors should always be fully
closed and locked while the
vehicle is in motion. If the doors
are unlocked, the risk of being
thrown from the vehicle in a crash is
increased.
• Do not pull the inner door handle of
the driver’s or passenger’s door while
the vehicle is moving.
WARNING
Do not leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle. An enclosed
vehicle can become extremely hot,
causing death or serious injury to
unattended children or animals who
cannot escape the vehicle. Children
might operate features of the vehicle
that could injure them, or they could
encounter other harm, possibly from
someone gaining entry to the vehicle.
WARNING
Always secure your vehicle.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked increases
the potential risk to you or others from
someone hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, while
depressing the brake, shift the gear
to the P (Park) position, engage the
parking brake, and press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF position,
close all windows, lock all doors, and
always take the key with you.
CAUTION
Opening a door when something is
approaching may cause damage or
injury. Be careful when opening doors
and watch for vehicles, motorcycles,
bicycles or pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
WARNING
If you stay in the vehicle for a long time
while the weather is very hot or cold,
there are risks of injuries or danger to
life. Do not lock the vehicle from the
outside when someone is in the vehicle.

Reverse Parking Aid (if equipped)
OJK050014OJK050014
When the gear is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the side view mirror(s)
will rotate downwards to aid with driving
in reverse.
The state of the side view mirror button
(1) determines whether or not the mirrors
will move:
How it works
• When the L or R button (1) is pressed
(indicator lights ON), both side view
mirrors will move.
• If the L and R buttons (1) are not
pressed (indicator lights OFF), both
outer side view mirrors will not move.
The side view mirrors will automatically
revert to their original positions if any of
the following occur:
• The Engine Start/Stop button is
pressed to either the OFF position or
the ACC position.
• The gear is shifted to any position
except R (Reverse).
• The side view mirror adjustment
button is not selected.
Reverse parking aid user settings
mode
You may change the angle of the side
view mirror if it is difficult to see the rear
view with the basic downward mirror
angle provided when reversing.
When the vehicle is first delivered, the
set downward angle of the left and right
side view mirror are different to ensure
driver visibility.
1. Make sure the vehicle is stopped.
2. Depress the brake pedal and shift
the gear to R (Reverse). When L (Left)
or R (Right) button is pressed, both
side view mirror angle will move
downward to the basic set position.
3. Press either L or R button to select
the side view mirror you would like
to adjust. Then press “z, x, {, y”
switch to adjust the side view mirror
to the desired angle.
4. After adjusting the angle to save the
adjusted side view mirror angle, shift
the gear to another position other
than R (Reverse), or change the L and
R buttons to the neutral position (L
and R buttons are not pressed).
5. Set the other side view mirror
following the above procedure 1 to 4.
Resetting reverse parking aid user settings
mode
To change the side view mirror angle
back to the basic angle, shift the gear to
R (Reverse), and adjust the mirror angle
higher than when the gear is in P (Park),
N (Neutral) and D (Drive).
NOTICE
When changing the angle of both side
view mirrors, it is recommended to
change the angle one side at a time
following the procedure 1 to 4.

Opening the hood
OJK050017L OJK050017L
1. Park the vehicle and set the parking
brake.
2. Pull the release lever to unlatch the
hood. The hood should pop open
slightly.
OJK050018 OJK050018
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 gloves, 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.

• When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, contact
between your bare hand and the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.
• Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry and
store gasoline.
• When refueling, always shift the
gear to the P (Park) position, set
the parking brake, and press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
OFF position. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire.
• Do not use matches or a lighter and
do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette
in your vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
• Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
• If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager
of the gas station and then contact
the local fire department. Follow any
safety instructions they provide.
• If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can
cover your clothes or skin and thus
subject you to the risk of fire and
burns. Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap is
venting fuel or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until the condition stops
before completely removing the cap.
• Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident. Information

to the “Fuel Requirements” section in
suggested in chapter 1.
NOTICE
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces may
damage the paint.
• If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
Genesis cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can result
in a serious malfunction of the fuel
system or emission control system.
