on the instrument cluster for about 1
minute.
If you open the driver seat door while
charging, the estimated charging time
is also displayed on the instrument
cluster for about 1 minute.
Information

[Depending on the condition and
durability of the high voltage battery,
charger specifications, and ambient
temperature, the time required for
charging the battery may vary.

[In rare cases, you might hear high
frequency noise (very little beep sound)
outside the car when charging with
400V DC charger that is deteriorated
or has long communication delay.
The high frequency noise can be
generated only when the car tries to
reduce its own electromagnetic waves
to keep DC charging as possible.
So there is no need to worry about this
little noise, because it is the intentional
operation of the car that does not
affect any charging performance or the
vehicle itself at all.
Checking Charging Status
When charging the high voltage battery,
the charge level can be checked from
outside the vehicle.
For more details, refer to ‘Charge
Indicator Lamp for Electric Vehicle’ in
this chapter.
How to Disconnect DC Charger
1. Remove the charging connector
when DC charging is completed, or
after you stop charging using the DC
charger. Refer to each respective DC
charger manual for details about how
to disconnect the charging connector.

If an Accident Occurs
WARNING

[When a vehicle accident occurs,
move the vehicle to a safe place,
turn OFF the vehicle and disconnect
the high voltage cut-off switch from
the auxiliary battery (12V) to prevent
high voltage electricity from flowing.

[If electric wires are exposed from
inside or outside the vehicle, do not
touch the wires.
Also, do not touch the high voltage
electric wire (orange), connector,
and all electric components and
devices. This may cause electric
shock and lead to injuries.
WARNING

[When a vehicle accident occurs and
the high voltage battery is damaged,
harmful gas and electrolytes may
leak. Be careful not to touch the
leaked liquid.

[When you suspect leakage of
inflammable gas and other harmful
gases, open the windows and
evacuate to a safe place. If any
leaked fluid comes in contact with
your eyes or skin, immediately clean
the affected area thoroughly with
tap water or saline solution and
have doctors inspect it as soon as
possible.
WARNING

[If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire
extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant
for electrical fires. If it is impossible
to extinguish the fire in the early
stage, maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle and immediately call your
local fire emergency responders.
Also, advise them that an electric
vehicle is involved.

[If the fire spreads to the high
voltage battery, large amount of
water is needed to put out the fire.
Using small amount of water or
fire extinguishers not meant for
electrical fires could cause serious
injury or death from electrical
shocks.
WARNING

[If you cannot put out the fire
immediately, the high voltage
battery may explode. Evacuate to
a safe place and do not let other
people approach the site.
Contact the fire department and
notify them of an electric vehicle fire.

[If the vehicle is flooded with water,
immediately turn off the vehicle and
evacuate to a safe place. Contact
the fire department or an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

3-2
Seats and Safety System
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual.
The safety precautions in this section are
among the most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all
types of accidents. Air bags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not to replace
them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make
sure you and your passengers wear your
seat belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain All Children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in a
rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and
small children should be restrained in
an appropriate Child Restraint System.
Larger children should use a booster
seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they
can use the seat belt properly without a
booster seat.
Air Bag Hazards
While air bags can save lives, they can
also cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained. Infants,
young children, and short adults are at
the greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be
the first concern when behind the wheel
and drivers need to be aware of the wide
array of potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passengers,
and using mobile phones.Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel to
focus on activities other than driving.
To reduce your risk of distraction and an
accident:

[Set up your mobile devices (for
example, MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) ONLY when
your vehicle is parked or safely
stopped.

[ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed by laws and conditions permit
safe use. NEVER text or email while
driving. Most countries have laws
prohibiting drivers from texting. Some
countries and cities also prohibit
drivers from using handheld phones.

[NEVER let the use of a mobile device
distract you from driving. You have a
responsibility to your passengers and
others on the road to always drive
safely, with your hands on the wheel
as well as your eyes and attention on
the road.
Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash
injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but
serious injuries can also occur at lower
speeds. Never drive faster than is safe
for current conditions, regardless of the
maximum speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle In Safe
Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical
failure can be extremely hazardous. To
reduce the possibility of such problems,
check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regularly
scheduled maintenance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

3-7
03
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip. At all times, passengers
should sit upright and be properly
restrained. Infants and small children
must be restrained in appropriate Child
Restraint Systems. Children who have
outgrown a booster seat and adults must
be restrained using the seat belts.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat belt:

[NEVER use one seat belt for more
than one occupant.

[Always position the seatback upright
with the lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.

[NEVER allow children or small infants
to ride on a passenger’s lap.

[Do not route the seat belt across your
neck, across sharp edges, or reroute
the shoulder strap away from your
body.

[Do not allow the seat belt to become
caught or jammed.
Front Seats
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily control
the steering wheel, foot pedals and
controls on the instrument panel.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat:

[NEVER attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. The seat
could respond with unexpected
movement and may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

[Do not place anything under the
front seats. Loose objects in the
driver’s foot area could interfere
with the operation of the foot pedals,
causing an accident.

[Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position and proper
locking of the seatback.

[Do not place a cigarette lighter on
the floor or seat. When you operate
the seat, gas may exit out of the
lighter causing a fire.

[Use extreme caution when picking
up small objects trapped under the
seats or between the seat and the
center console. Your hands might be
cut or injured by the sharp edges of
the seat mechanism.

[If there are occupants in the rear
seats, be careful while adjusting the
front seat position.

[Make sure that the seat is locked in
place after the adjustment. If not,
the seat might move unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.

Head Restraint
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and spinal
injuries during an accident, especially in
a rear impact collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head
restraints:

[Always properly adjust the head
restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.

[NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraint removed or
reversed.
OHI039190N

[Adjust the head restraints so the
middle of the head restraint is at the
same height as the height of the top
of the eyes.

[NEVER adjust the head restraint
position of the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is in motion.

[Adjust the head restraint as close to
the passenger’s head as possible. Do
not use a seat cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback.

[Make sure the head restraint locks
into position after adjusting it.
WARNING
OJX1039115
When sitting on the rear seat, do not
adjust the height of the head restraint
to the lowest position.
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in the rear
seats, adjust the height of the head
restraint to the lowest position. The
rear seat head restraint can reduce the
visibility of the rear area.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull
on the head restraints.
