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.

Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning
is reduced. Overfilling also reduces the
performance of the air conditioning
system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, damage to the compressor
and abnormal system operation may
occur. To prevent damage, the air
conditioning system in your vehicle
should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yfSince the refrigerant is
mildly flammable and
operated at high pressure,
the air conditioning system
should only be serviced
by trained and certified
technicians. It is important
that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant
are used.
All refrigerants should be reclaimed
with proper equipment.
Venting refrigerants directly to the
atmosphere is harmful to individuals
and environment. Failure to heed these
warnings can lead to serious injuries.
Air Conditioning refrigerant label
OIK050094
You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied to your vehicle on
the label located inside of the hood.

ENGINE OIL
Checking the Engine Oil Level
NOTICE
Engine oil is used for lubricating,
cooling, and operating various
hydraulic components in the engine.
Engine oil consumption while driving
is normal, and it is necessary to check
and refill the engine oil regularly. Also,
check and refill the oil level within
the recommended maintenance
schedule to prevent deterioration of oil
performance.
Check the engine oil following the
below procedure.
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s
precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level
ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake set and the wheels blocked.
3. Turn the engine on and warm
the engine up until the coolant
temperature reaches a constant
normal temperature.
4. Turn the engine off, remove the oil
filler cap and pull the dipstick out.
Wait for 15 minutes for the oil to return
to the oil pan.
5. Wipe the dipstick clean and re-insert
it fully.

Checking the Engine Oil and
Filter

[We recommend that the engine oil
and filter be changed by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products
according to the Maintenance
Schedule at the beginning of this
chapter.

[If the maintenance schedule to
replace engine oil is exceeded,
the engine oil performance may
deteriorate, and the engine condition
may be affected. Therefore, replace
the engine oil according to the
maintenance schedule.

[To keep the engine in optimal
condition, use the recommended
engine oil and filter. If the
recommended engine oil and filter are
not used replace it according to the
maintenance schedule under severe
usage conditions.

[The purpose of the maintenance
schedule for engine oil replacement
is to prevent oil deterioration and it is
irrelevant to oil consumption. Check
and refill engine oil regularly.
CAUTION
The engine oil is very hot
immediately after the vehicle has
been driven and can cause burns
during replacement. Replace the
engine oil after the engine oil has
cooled down.
WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING
Engine oil contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects and reproductive harm.
Used engine oil may cause irritation or
cancer of the skin if left in contact with
the skin for prolonged periods of time.
Always protect your skin by washing
your hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible after
handling used oil.

Checking the Brake Fluid Level
OIK090009
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area around
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add the specified
brake fluid to the MAX level. The level
will fall with accumulated mileage. This
is a normal condition associated with
the wear of the brake linings. If the fluid
level is excessively low, we recommend
that the brake system be checked by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid, this could indicate
a leak in the brake system. We
recommend that the vehicle be
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come in
contact with your eyes. If brake fluid
comes in contact with your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immediate medical
attention.
NOTICE

[Do not allow brake fluid to contact
the vehicle’s body paint, as paint
damage will result.

[Brake fluid, which has been exposed
to open air for an extended time
should NEVER be used as its quality
cannot be guaranteed. It should be
disposed of properly.

[Do not use the incorrect type of
brake fluid. A few drops of mineral
based oil, such as engine oil, in your
brake system can damage brake
system parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” section in chapter 2).
