wheels installed.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards
when starting a vehicle from a stop
on a hill. The system operates the
brakes automatically for approximately
2 seconds (maximum of 5 seconds
when the accelerator pedal is slightly
depressed during HAC operation) and
releases the brake after 2 seconds or
when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
WARNING
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting off
an incline. Hill-Start Assist Control
activates only for approximately 2
seconds (maximum of 5 seconds
when the accelerator pedal is slightly
depressed during HAC operation).
Information
[ Hill-Start Assist Control does not
operate when the gear is shifted to P
(Park) or N (Neutral).
[ Hill-Start Assist Control activates even
when the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is off. However, it does not
activate, when ESC does not operate
normally.

Good Braking Practices
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a complete
stop and continue to depress the brake
pedal. Shift the gear to the P (Park)
position, then apply the parking brake,
and press the Start/Stop button to the
OFF position.
Vehicles parked with the parking brake
not applied or not fully engaged may
roll inadvertently and may cause injury
to the driver and others. ALWAYS apply
the parking brake before exiting the
vehicle.Be aware of wet brakes. The brakes may
get wet if the vehicle is driven through
standing water or if it is washed. Your
vehicle will not stop as quickly if the
brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause
the vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal. If the braking action does not
return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe
to do so and call an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but constant
pedal pressure can result in the brakes
overheating, brake wear, and possibly
even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
vehicle pointed straight ahead while you
slow down. When you are moving slowly
enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off
the road and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal
when the vehicle is stopped to prevent
the vehicle from rolling forward.

TRAILER TOWING
If you are considering to tow with your
vehicle, you should first check with your
state's Department of Motor Vehicles to
determine legal requirements. Since laws
vary from state to state the requirements
for towing trailers, cars, or other types of
vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products for further details before
towing.
Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by
itself. Trailering means changes in
handling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering requires
correct equipment, and it has to be used
properly. Damage to your vehicle caused
by improper trailer towing is not covered
by your vehicle manufacturer’s warranty.
This section contains many time-tested,
important trailering tips and safety
rules. Many of these are important for
your safety and that of your passengers.
Please read this section carefully before
you pull a trailer.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
[ If you don’t use the correct
equipment and/or drive improperly,
you can lose control of the vehicle
when you are pulling a trailer. For
example, if the trailer is too heavy,
the braking performance may be
reduced. You and your passengers
could be seriously or fatally injured.
Pull a trailer only if you have followed
all the steps in this section.
[ Before towing, make sure the
total trailer weight, GCW (Gross
Combination Weight), GVW (Gross
Vehicle Weight), GAW (Gross Axle
Weight) and trailer tongue load are
all within the limits.
[ When you tow a trailer, make sure to
turn off the Idle Stop and Go system.
If You Decide to Pull a Trailer?
Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
[ Consider using a sway control. You
can ask a trailer hitch dealer about
sway control.
[ Do not do any towing with your
vehicle during its first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) in order to allow the
vehicle to properly break in. Failure to
heed this caution may result in serious
motor or transmission damage.
[ When towing a trailer, be sure
to consult an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products for
further information on additional
requirements such as a towing kit, etc.
[ Always drive your vehicle at posted
towing speed limit.
[ Carefully observe the weight and load
limits provided in the following pages.
[ When towing a trailer, be sure to
disable Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist. If towing and going
in reverse the system will activate as it
detects the trailer. Also, before towing
a trailer disable all Driving Assistance
systems as precaution such as
Forward Collision–Avoidance Assist,
Lane Keeping Assist, Smart Cruise
Control and others.
