Checking the Brake Fluid Level
ORS091006
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area around
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add the specified brake
fluid to the MAX level. The level will fall
with accumulated mileage. This is a
normal condition associated with the
wear of the brake linings. If the fluid level
is excessively low, have the brake system
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid this could indicate
a leak in the brake system. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
WARNING
Do not let brake fluid enter into your
eyes. If brake fluid gets in your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean water for
at least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention.
NOTICE
[ Do not allow brake fluid to contact
the vehicle’s body paint, as it will
result in paint damage.
[ NEVER use brake fluid which has
been exposed to open air for an
extended time, as its quality cannot
be guaranteed. It should be disposed
of properly.
[ Do not use the wrong type of brake
fluid. A few drops of mineral based
oil such as engine oil in your brake
system can damage brake system
parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” section in chapter 2).

Filter Replacement
ORS092008N
Do not attempt to wash or to rinse it, as
water will damage the filter.
If soiled, the air cleaner filter must be
replaced.
Visit an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products to replace air cleaner
filter.
Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
Information
If the vehicle is operated in extremely
dusty or sandy areas, replace the air
cleaner filter more often than the
usual recommended intervals (Refer
to “Maintenance Under Severe Usage
Conditions” section in this chapter).
NOTICE
[ Do not drive with the air cleaner filter
removed. This will result in excessive
engine wear.
[ When removing the air cleaner filter,
be careful that dust or dirt does not
enter the air intake, or damage may
result.
[ We recommend that you use parts
for replacement from an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.

Battery Recharging
By battery charger
Should your vehicle's battery become
discharged either run the engine for
at least 60 minutes driving or at idle.
Alternatively you may connect a fully
automatic regulated charger to the
engine compartment front jumper posts
or at the battery in the trunk.
CAUTION
Do not use a manual unregulated
charger. It may cause the battery
to overheat and create a potential
hazard.
WARNING
Always follow these instructions when
recharging your vehicle’s battery to
avoid the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH from explosions or acid burns:
[ Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.
[ Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking
materials away from the battery.
[ Always work outdoors or in an area
with plenty of ventilation.
[ Wear eye protection when checking
the battery during charging.
[ The battery must be removed from
the vehicle and placed in a well
ventilated area.
[ Watch the battery during charging,
and stop or reduce the charging
rate if the battery cells begin boiling
violently.
[ The negative battery cable must
be removed first and installed last
when the battery is disconnected.
Disconnect the battery charger in the
following order:
1. Turn off the battery charger main
switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from
the negative battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from
the positive battery terminal.
[ Always use a genuine Genesis Part
approved battery when you replace
the battery.

Maintenance
ORS091063
A : Blade type,
B : Cartridge type,
C : Multi type,
D : Midi type
O: Normal, X: Blown
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 5 fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
the other in the engine compartment.
If any of your vehicle’s lights,
accessories, or controls do not work,
check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a
fuse has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted or broken.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, turn the
engine and all switches off, and then
disconnect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem.
Avoid using the system involved and
immediately consult an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
WARNING
NEVER replace a fuse with anything but
another fuse of the same rating.
[ A higher capacity fuse could cause
damage and possibly cause a fire.
[ Do not install a wire or aluminum
foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair. It may
cause extensive wiring damage and
possibly a fire.
NOTICE
Do not use a screwdriver or any other
metal object to remove fuses because
it may cause a short circuit and damage
the system.
