Good Driving Practices

[Never shift the gear from P (Park) or
N (Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.

[Never shift the gear into P (Park) when
the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).

[Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral)
when driving. If the gear is shifted to
N (Neutral) while driving, doing so
may increase the risk of an accident.
Also, shifting the gear back to D
(Drive) while the vehicle is moving
may severely damage the reduction
gear.

[When driving uphill or downhill,
always shift to D (Drive) for driving
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for
driving backwards, and check the
gear position indicated on the cluster
or the rotary gear shift dial before
driving. Driving in the opposite
direction of the selected gear, can
lead to a dangerous situation by
shutting off the vehicle and affecting
the braking performance.

[Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can result
in the brakes overheating, brake wear
and possibly even brake failure.

[Always apply the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend
on placing the shift gear in P (Park) to
keep the vehicle from moving.

[Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

6-16
Driving Your Vehicle

[Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:

[ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a
collision, an unbelted occupant
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
recommends you to follow all posted
speed limits.

Regenerative braking (Paddle
shifter)
ORG3EV061015L
The paddle shifter is used to adjust the
regenerative braking level from 0 to 3
during decelerating.

[Left side (
): Increases regenerative
braking and deceleration.

[Right side (
): Decreases
regenerative braking and deceleration.

[Pull and hold the left side paddle
shifter for more than 0.5 seconds
and One pedal driving function is
operated, increasing the regenerative
braking. In this case, stopping the
vehicle is possible by keep on pulling
the paddle shifter.
Refer to the following pages on "One
pedal driving".

[Pull and hold the right side paddle
shifter for over 1 second to turn on
and off the automatic change of the
regenerative braking.
Refer to the following pages on
"Smart Recuperation System".
Information
The paddle shifter does not operate when:

[The [
] and [] paddle shifters are
pulled at the same time.

[The vehicle is decelerating by
depressing the brake pedal.

[Smart Cruise Control is activated.

[If level 0 is selected for the regenerative
braking system, the brake disc cleaning
function is operated. While operating
to clean the brake disc, the driving
distance and the regenerative braking
performance can be reduced. After
finishing, the regenerative braking
performance will be restored. The
brake disc cleaning function operates
when level 0 is re-selected after
adjusting the regenerative braking
level.

The selected regenerative braking level is
displayed on the instrument cluster.
Initial setting of the regenerative
braking level and adjustable range vary
according to the selected Drive mode.
Drive mode Adjustable Range
SNOW 0 to 1
ECO 0 to 3
COMFORT 0 to 3
SPORT 0 to 3
For more details, refer to "Drive Mode
Integrated Control System" in this
chapter.
One Pedal Driving
The driver can stop the vehicle by pulling
the left side paddle shifter .
To operate:

[Pull and hold the left side paddle
shifter while coasting.

[When the vehicle speed is above 1.8
mph (3 km/h), release the paddle
shifter to return to the preset
regenerative braking stage.

[When the vehicle speed is below 1.8
mph (3 km/h), the function maintains
control to stop the vehicle even
though the paddle shifter is released.

[While the One pedal driving is
operating, the driver can control the
vehicle stopping position using the
accelerator pedal.
Limitations
The vehicle may move even if one pedal
driving is normally operated. Therefore,
the driver should be careful to stop
the vehicle by this function under
circumstances as follows:
-Driving on icy, snowy, wet, sandy,
muddy roads, manhole/pit hole
surfaces
-Wheels not aligned
-Conditions in which wheel slip or spin
occurs
-On heavy loading
-By leaning left of right
-Under bad tire wear
-Driving uphill or downhill
-Driving where the slope starts or ends
-By repeating stop and go on ramp
