WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:

[ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for people,
especially children, before shifting a
vehicle into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).

[ Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the vehicle is
shifted to the P (Park) position, then
apply the parking brake, then press
the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF position. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can occur
if these precautions are not followed.

[ When using the paddle shifter
(manual shift mode), do not use
engine braking (shifting from a
high gear to lower gear) rapidly on
slippery roads. The vehicle may slip
causing an accident.
Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the gear position when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position.
However, if the gear is in N (Neutral)
or P (Park), the position is displayed on
the instrument cluster when the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the OFF or ACC
position. P (Park)

All Wheel Drive (AWD) delivers engine
power to front and rear wheels for
maximum traction. AWD is useful when
extra traction is required, such as when
driving on, muddy, wet, or snow-covered
roads.
WARNING
If the AWD warning light () stays on
the instrument cluster, your vehicle
may have a malfunction with the AWD
system. When the AWD warning light
(
) illuminates we recommend that the
vehicle be checked by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products as
soon as possible.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:

[ Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging off-road
conditions.

[ Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.

[ Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.

[ The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.

[ Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter
the roadway.

[ In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the t ravel lanes.
NOTICE

[Do not drive in water if the water
level is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.

[ Check your brake condition once
you are out of mud or water. Depress
the brake pedal several times as you
move slowly until you feel normal
braking condition is returned.

[ Shorten your scheduled
maintenance interval if you drive in
off-road conditions such as sand,
mud or water (see "Maintenance
Under Severe Usage Conditions"
section in chapter 9).

[ Always wash your vehicle thoroughly
after off road use, especially the
bottom of the vehicle.

[ Be sure to equip the vehicle with four
tires of the same size and type.

[ Make sure that a full time AWD
vehicle is towed by a flat bed tow
truck.

[ When ECO mode is activated:
- The acceleration response may be slightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
- The air conditioner performance may be limited.
- The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.
- Engine noise may be louder at some automatic transmission shifts as
down-shift requires pressing down
more on the accelerator.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the ECO mode
is activated to help improve fuel
efficiency.
imitations of ECO mode

E
CO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though there is
no change in ECO indicator.

[ When coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until engine
performance becomes normal.

[ When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.

[ When driving the vehicle in manual
shift mode using the paddle shifter.
The system will be limited according
to the shift location.
