You should exercise the utmost care
to prevent damage to your vehicle and
injury to yourself whenever performing
any maintenance or inspection
procedures.
We recommend you have your
vehicle maintained and repaired by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products. An authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products meets
Genesis Branded Vehicle’s high service
quality standards and receives technical
support from Genesis Branded Vehicle in
order to provide you with a high level of
service satisfaction.
Owner’s Responsibility
Maintenance service and record
retention are the owner’s responsibility.
You should retain documents that show
proper maintenance has been performed
on your vehicle in accordance with
the scheduled maintenance service

Repairs and adjustments required as a
result of improper maintenance or a lack
of required maintenance are not covered.
Owner Maintenance Precautions
Inadequate, incomplete or insufficient
servicing may result in operational
problems with your vehicle that could
lead to vehicle damage, an accident, or
personal injury. This chapter provides
instructions only for the maintenance
items that are easy to perform. Several
procedures can be done only by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products with special tools.
Your vehicle should not be modified
in any way. Such modifications may
adversely affect the performance, safety
or durability of your vehicle and may, in
addition, violate conditions of the limited
warranties covering the vehicle.
Certain modifications may also be in
violation of regulations established by
the U.S. Department of Transportation
and other federal or state agencies.
NOTICE
Improper owner maintenance during
the warranty period may affect
warranty coverage. For details, read
the separate Owner’s Handbook &
Warranty Information booklet provided

WARNING
Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. If you lack
sufficient knowledge and experience or
the proper tools and equipment to do
the work, have it done by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
ALWAYS follow these precautions for
performing maintenance work:
• Park your vehicle on level ground.
Shift the vehicle to P (Park), apply
the parking brake, and press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF
position.
• Block the tires (front and back) to
prevent the vehicle from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jewelry
that can become entangled in
moving parts.
• If you must run the engine during
maintenance, do so out doors or in
an area with plenty of ventilation.
• Keep flames, sparks, or smoking
materials away from the battery and
fuel-related parts.
WARNING
Touching metal parts
Do not touch metal parts
(including strut bars) while
the engine is operating or
hot. Doing so could result in
serious personal injury. Turn
the engine off and wait until
the metal parts cool down to
perform maintenance work on
the vehicle.
The following lists are vehicle checks and
inspections that should be performed
by the owner or an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products at the
frequencies indicated to help ensure
safe, dependable operation of your
vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer as
soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.

When you stop for fuel:
• Check the coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir or the liquid-cooled
intercooler coolant reservoir.
• Check the windshield washer fluid
level.
• Check for low or under-inflated tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your coolant
level when the engine is hot. This may
result in coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious burns and
other injuries.
While operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of the
exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.
• Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any increased
steering effort or looseness in the
steering wheel, or change in its
straight-ahead position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns
slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling on smooth, level road.
• When stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission occurs,
check the transmission fluid level.
• Check the automatic transmission P
(Park) function.
• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
• Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
• Check the inflation pressures of all
tires including the spare for tires that
are worn, show uneven wear, or are
damaged.
• Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year: (i.e., every
Spring and Autumn)
• Check radiator, heater and air
conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
• Check windshield washer spray and
wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with a clean cloth dampened with
washer fluid.
• Check headlamp alignment.
• Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields
and clamps.
• Check the seat belts for wear and
function.
At least once a year:
• Clean body and door drain holes.
• Lubricate door hinges and hood
hinges.
• Lubricate door and hood locks and
latches.
• Lubricate door rubber weather strips.
• Check the air conditioning system.
• Inspect and lubricate automatic
transmission linkage and controls.
• Clean the battery and terminals.

Follow Normal Maintenance Schedule if the vehicle is usually operated where none of
the following conditions apply. If any of the following conditions apply, you must follow
the Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions.
• Repeated driving short distance of less than 5 miles (8 km) in normal temperature or
less than 10 miles (16 km) in freezing temperature
• Extensive engine idling or low speed driving for long distances
• Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, graveled or salt-spread roads
• Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold weather
• Driving in heavy dust conditions
• Driving in heavy traffic area
• Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain road repeatedly
• Towing a trailer or using a camper, or driving with loads on the roof
• Driving as a patrol car, taxi, other commercial use of vehicle towing
• Frequently driving under high speed or rapid acceleration/deceleration
• Frequently driving in stop-and-go condition
• Engine oil usage which is not recommended (Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Lower
grade spec, etc.)
If your vehicle is operated under the above conditions, you should inspect, replace or
refill more frequently than the following Normal Maintenance Schedule. After the periods
or distance shown in the chart, continue to follow the prescribed maintenance intervals.
NOTICE
After 10 years or 100,000 miles, we recommend to use severe maintenance schedule.
Information
• As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be
checked on regular basis.
• The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the
recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not used, then
replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions.
• The vehicle may be equipped with the Engine Oil Change Reminder that predicts engine oil life
based on the driver’s driving history and alerts the driver to change engine oil.
-If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver’s driving severity,
the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster before the normal engine oil
replacement interval. Have the engine oil and filter changed by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded product.
-Engine Oil Change Reminder works when the recommended engine oil is used. So, if
recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according to the maintenance
schedule under severe usage condition.
Also, check the amount of engine oil regularly as this system assumes that the engine oil is
being filled normally.
-Always reset the remaining engine oil life whenever the engine oil is changed. Otherwise, the
Engine Oil Change Reminder will not be correct.
To reset the Engine Oil Change Reminder, select ‘RESET’ from the infotainment system
screen. Then, select ‘Yes’ when the message “Changed engine oil? Press [Yes] to reset the oil
life.” appears on the screen.
-If there is no alert until the maximum maintenance interval, have the vehicle checked by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded product.
