cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Before Entering the Vehicle

[Be sure all windows, outside mirror(s),
and outside lights are clean and
unobstructed.

[Remove frost, snow, or ice.

[Visually check the tires for uneven
wear and damage.

[Check under the vehicle for any sign
of leaks.

[Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.
Before Starting

[Make sure the hood, the trunk, and
the doors are securely closed and
locked.

[Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.

[Adjust the inside and outside rearview
mirrors.

[Verify all the lights work.

[Fasten your seat belt. Check that all
passengers have fastened their seat
belts.

[Check the gauges and indicators
in the instrument panel and the
messages on the instrument display
when the vehicle is in the ON position.
[Check that any items you are carrying
are stored properly or fastened down
securely.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:

[ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All
passengers must be properly belted
whenever the vehicle is moving.
For more information, refer to “Seat
Belts” section in chapter 3.

[Always drive defensively. Assume
other drivers or pedestrians may be
careless and make mistakes.

[Stay focused on the task of driving.
Driver distraction can cause
accidents.

[Leave plenty of space between you
and the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driving
is dangerous and may result in an
accident and SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Just
one drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions and
emergencies and your reaction time
gets worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence
of drugs is as dangerous as or more
dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive. If you are drinking or
taking drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been drinking
or taking drugs. Choose a designated
driver or call a taxi.

accelerator.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:

is significantly more likely to be
seriously injured or killed than a
properly belted occupant.

[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 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 travel lanes.

[Genesis Branded Vehicle

Pulling the paddle-shift () for 1 or
more seconds, the smart recuperation
system will operate. The indicator of the

WARNING
The Smart Recuperation System which

braking level when coasting is only a
supplemental system for the driver's
convenience. The system cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor avoid
all collisions. The brake control may
be insufficient depending on the
speed of the vehicle in front and when
the vehicle in front suddenly stops,
a vehicle cuts in suddenly and there
is a steep slope. Always look ahead
cautiously to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occurring.
