*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2 : If the above recommended specification oil is not available, SAE 0W-30 grade synthetic
oil can be used. If mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil is used, it is a severe maintenance
condition in terms of engine oil change.
*3 : Requires < API SN PLUS (or above) Full synthetic> grade engine oil. If a lower grade
engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine oil and engine
oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe maintenance condition.
*4 : Requires grade engine oil. If a
lower grade engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used. Then the engine oil
and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe maintenance condition.

checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can
provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any
viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated
in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.

engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine oil and engine
oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe maintenance condition.
*2 : For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade
SAE 5W-30. However, if the engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper
engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.
An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute(API)
Certification Mark conforms to the International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended
to only use engine oils that uphold this API Certification Mark.

Low washer fluid
This message is displayed if the washer
fluid level in the reservoir is nearly empty.
Have the washer fluid reservoir refilled.
Low fuel
This message is displayed if the fuel tank
is almost out of fuel.
When this message is displayed, the low
fuel level warning light in the cluster will
come on.
It is recommended to look for the nearest
fueling station and refuel as soon as
possible.
Low engine oil (if equipped)
This warning message is displayed when
the engine oil level should be checked.
If this warning message is displayed,
check the engine oil level as soon as
possible and add engine oil as required.
Slowly pour the recommended oil little
by little into a funnel.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities“ section in chapter 2.)
Do not overfill the engine oil. Make sure
the oil level is not above F (Full) mark on
the dipstick.
Information
After adding engine oil, if you travel
approximately 31~62 miles (50~100 km)
after the engine warms up, the warning
message should disappear.
Engine overheated
This message is displayed when the
engine coolant temperature is above
248°F (120°C). This means that the
engine is overheated and may be
damaged.
If your vehicle is overheated, refer to
“Overheating” section in chapter 8.
Check haptic steering wheel system
This message is displayed if there is a
problem with the haptic steering wheel
system. Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
Check headlight (if equipped)
This message is displayed if the
headlights are not operating properly. A
lamp may need to be replaced.
Make sure to replace the burned out
bulb with a new one of the same wattage
rating.
Check turn signal (if equipped)
This message is displayed if the turn
signal lamps are not operating properly.
A lamp may need to be replaced.
Make sure to replace the burned out
bulb with a new one of the same wattage
rating.
Check headlamp LED (if equipped)
This message is displayed if there is a
problem with the LED headlamp. Have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.

Limited Slip Differential refers to a
feature equipped with a mechanism that
controls the differential functions of the
wheels in the rear differential.
The Limited Slip Differential helps
improve handling performance when
circling at high speed.
WARNING
Never run wheels with one of them
lifted by the jack. It is extremely
dangerous for a vehicle equipped with
Limited Slip Differential.
Information
Be sure to inject oil for exclusive use of
LSD when replacing Rear Differential
(for LSD) Oil. Refer to “Recommended
lubricants and capacities” in chapter 2.

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 cooling
system, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or
replenish your coolant in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
chapter 9. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freezing
point is sufficient for the temperatures
anticipated during the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in chapter 9. The
battery charging level can be checked by
an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products or in a service station.
Change to “winter weight” oil if
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is
recommended to use the “winter
weight” oil with lower viscosity. In
addition, replace the engine oil and filter
if it is close to the next maintenance
interval. Fresh engine oil ensures
optimum engine operation during the
winter months. For further information,
refer to chapter 2. When you are not sure
about a type of winter weight oil, consult
an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.Check spark plugs and ignition system
Inspect the spark plugs, as specified in
chapter 9. If necessary, replace them.
Also check all ignition wirings and
components for any cracks, wear-out,
and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen,
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes,
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorized window
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified
on the window washer container.
Window washer anti-freeze solution is
available from an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products, and most
vehicle accessory outlets. Do not use
engine coolant or other types of anti-
freeze solution, to prevent any damage
to the vehicle paint.

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 areas

[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 semi-synthetic,
prescribed maintenance intervals.
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.
