Starting the Engine
WARNING

[Always wear appropriate shoes when
operating your vehicle. Unsuitable
shoes, such as high heels, ski boots,
sandals, flip flops, etc., may interfere
with your ability to use the brake and
accelerator pedals.

[Do not start the vehicle with the
accelerator pedal depressed.
The vehicle can move which can lead
to an accident.

[Wait until the engine RPM is normal.
The vehicle may suddenly move if
the brake pedal is released when the
RPM is high.
Information

[The vehicle will start by pressing the
Engine Start/Stop button, only when
the smart key is in the vehicle.

[Even if the smart key is in the vehicle,
and when it is far away from the driver,
the engine may not start.

[When the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ACC or ON position, if any
door is open, the system checks for the
smart key. When the smart key is not
in the vehicle, the “
” indicator
will blink and the warning 'Key not in
vehicle' will come on. When all doors
are closed, the chime will also sound for
about 5 seconds. Keep the smart key in
the vehicle.1. Always carry the smart key with you.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
3. Make sure the gear is shifted to P
(Park) by pressing the P button.
4. Depress the brake pedal.
5. Press the Engine Start/Stop button.
Information

[Do not wait for the engine to warm up
while the vehicle remains stationary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. Steep accelerating and
decelerating should be avoided.

[Always start the vehicle with your foot
on the brake pedal. Do not depress the
accelerator while starting the vehicle.
Do not race the engine while warming
it up.

Paddle Shifter (Manual Shift
Mode)
ORS061009
The paddle shifter allows the driver to
shift gears without taking one’s hands off
the steering wheel.
The paddle shifter operates as follow.

[Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear and the
system changes from automatic shift
mode to manual shift mode.

[To change back to automatic shift
mode from manual shift mode, do one
of the following:
-Pull the [+] paddle shifter for more
than one second.
-Drive the vehicle under 4 mph (7
km/h)
-Gently depress the accelerator
pedal for more than 6 seconds.
-Rotate the shift dial to the D (Drive)
position.
Information
If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are pulled
at the same time, gear shift may not occur.
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, the vehicle
loses the ability to provide engine
braking. 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
transmission.

[When driving uphill or downhill,
always shift to D (Drive) for driving
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for
driving rearwards. After selecting
D (Drive) or R (Reverse), check the
gear position indicated on the cluster
before driving. If the vehicle moves in
the opposite direction of the selected
gear, the engine may turn off and a
serious accident might occur due to
degraded brake 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.

Driving Your Vehicle
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your brake
pressure and do not try to pump your
brakes. Depress your brake pedal as hard
as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear sounds from the brakes,
or feel a corresponding sensation in the
brake pedal. This is normal and it means
your ABS is active.
ABS does not reduce the time or distance
it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that results
from sudden changes in direction, such
as trying to take a corner too fast or
making a sudden lane change. Always
drive at a safe speed for the road and
weather conditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when braking
hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel
movement can still cause your vehicle to
veer into oncoming traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake system
may result in a longer stopping distance
than for vehicles equipped with a
conventional brake system.
The ABS (
) warning light will stay
on for several seconds after the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
During that time, ABS will go through
self-diagnosis and the light will go off if
everything is normal. If the light stays on,
you may have a problem with your ABS.
Contact an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products as soon as possible.
WARNING
If the ABS () warning light is on and
stays on, you may have a problem with
the ABS. Your power brakes will work
normally. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, contact your authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products as
soon as possible.
NOTICE
When you drive on a road having poor
traction, such as an icy road, and apply
your brakes continuously, ABS will be
active continuously and the ABS (
)
warning light may illuminate. Pull your
vehicle over to a safe place and turn the
vehicle off.
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS warning
light is off, then your ABS system is
normal.
Otherwise, you may have a problem
with your ABS system. Contact an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products as soon as possible.
Information
When you jump start your vehicle because
of a drained battery, the ABS ()
warning light may turn on at the same
time. This happens because of the low
battery voltage. It does not mean your
ABS is malfunctioning. Have the battery
recharged before driving the vehicle.

ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be used
briefly to help free the vehicle if stuck in
snow or mud, by temporarily stopping
operation of ESC, to maintain wheel
torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press the
ESC OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the transmission:

[Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle to
spin excessively while the ESC, ABS,
and Parking Brake warning lights
are displayed. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do not
spin the wheel(s) excessively while
these lights are displayed.

[When operating the vehicle
on a dynamometer, make sure
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning ESC off does not affect ABS or
standard brake system operation.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
Vehicle Stability Management is a
function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. It helps the vehicle
stay stable when accelerating or braking
suddenly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four tires
can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Vehicle Stability Management:

[ALWAYS check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead. VSM
is not a substitute for safe driving
practices.

[Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. VSM will not prevent
accidents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, on slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe accidents.

Multi-Chamber Air Suspension
Malfunction
OJWEV061048L
This message is displayed when there is
a malfunction with the Multi-chamber
air suspension system. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
CAUTION

[When adjusting vehicle height, check
if there are any obstacles below or
above the vehicle.

[If air inside the suspension is
discharged, a warning message
will be displayed. If so, stop driving
and use a towing vehicle. Since
the vehicle height will be very low,
projections on the road may damage
the vehicle. See ‘Towing when the
air suspension malfunctions’ before
towing the vehicle.
Information

[Operating the air suspension may
cause a little noise when charging and
discharging the air.

[Adjusted vehicle height may vary
depending on the temperature and
surrounding environment.

[When the suspension warning message
is displayed, the system enables safe
mode to prevent secondary failure
and the vehicle performance may be
displayed differently.

[When the vehicle is parked on a slope,
or when the vehicle is in unstable
condition due to sudden acceleration,
deceleration or steering, vehicle height
adjustment becomes temporarily
disabled. If the vehicle escapes from
such dangerous situation, vehicle height
adjustment is enabled again.

[When the vehicle is lifted up with a
lift or jack, height adjustment may be
disabled to protect the system. If the
vehicle engine is started or you start
driving, the function is enabled again.

[Leaving the vehicle parked for long
time may lower the vehicle height. The
vehicle height returns to its original
position when the engine is started.

[If the battery is either overcharged or
discharged, vehicle height adjustment
is disabled to protect the system and a
temporary warning message may be
displayed.

[If the vehicle height adjustment is
operated repeatedly, the function may
be temporarily disabled due to the
overheated compressor. It is to prevent
the breakdown of related parts.
