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 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:

[ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(for example, MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) 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 states have laws
prohibiting drivers from texting. Some
states 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

Air conditioning system operation tips

[If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.

[After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from
recirculation mode to fresh mode.

[To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system with the windows
and sunroof closed.

[Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system
performance.

[If you operate air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air and
that of the windshield could cause
the outer surface of the windshield to
fog up, causing loss of visibility. In this
case, set the mode selection to the

position and fan speed control to the
lowest speed.
System Maintenance
Cabin air filter
OJWEV051269L[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Climate control air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : PTC & Inner condenser
The cabin air filter is installed under the
front trunk cover. It filters the dust or
other pollutants that enter the vehicle
through the heating and air conditioning
system.
Have the cabin air filter be replaced by
an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products according to the maintenance
schedule. If the vehicle is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent cabin air filter
inspections and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
have the system be inspected at an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.

When All Wheel Drive (AWD) is
activated, driving forces are distributed
appropriately to front and rear wheels.
It could improve driving performance by
maximizing the driving force of vehicles
on severe road conditions such as steep
hills, unpaved, slippery, etc.
Advantage of electronic AWD
1. Improvement of straight stability
2. Improvement of driving performance
on curve
3. Secure stability on severe condition
such as wet and sandy roads.
4. Improvement of energy efficiency
from driving mode automatic control.
Information
AWD vehicles could change the
engagement status of the motor according
to the situation required. Auto changing
the driving mode(2WD/AWD)helps
improve energy efficiency and driving
stability.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:

[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 a 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.
NOTICE

[Do not drive in water if the level
is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.

[Check your brake condition once
you are out of mud or water. Depress
the brake pedal several times as you
move slowly until you feel normal
braking return.

[Shorten your scheduled
maintenance interval if you drive in
off-road conditions such as sand,
mud or water (see "Maintenance
Under Severe Usage Conditions"
section in chapter 9).

[Always wash your vehicle thoroughly
after off road use, especially the
bottom of the vehicle.

[Be sure to equip the vehicle with four
tires of the same size and type.

[Make sure that a full time AWD
vehicle is towed by a flat bed tow
truck.

Maintenance When Towing a
Trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular
attention to include reduction gear fluid,
axle lubricant and cooling system fluid.
Brake condition is another important
item to frequently check. If you’re
trailering, it’s a good idea to review these
items before you start your trip. Don’t
forget to also maintain your trailer and
hitch. Follow the maintenance schedule
that accompanied your trailer and check
it periodically. Preferably, conduct the
check at the start of each day’s driving.
Most importantly, all hitch nuts and bolts
should be tight.
NOTICE
To prevent vehicle damage:

[Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur on
hot days or during uphill driving.

[When towing check reduction gear
fluid more frequently.
