ty precautions and operating proce-
dures. This information alerts you to
potential hazards that may hurt you
or others, as well as damage to your
vehicle.
Safety messages found on vehicle
labels and in this manual describe
these hazards and what to do to
avoid or reduce the risks.
Warnings and instructions contained

Introduction
NOTICE indicates a situation
which, if not avoided, could result
in vehicle damage.
Petrol engine
Unleaded
For the optimal vehicle performance,
we recommend you use unleaded
fuel which has an octane rating of
RON (Research Octane Number) 95
or higher.
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as min-
imise exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental to
the catalytic converter and will
damage the engine control sys-
tem’s oxygen sensor and affect
emission control.
Never add any fuel system clean-
ing agents to the fuel tank other
than what has been specified (We
recommend that you consult an
authorised Genesis dealer for
details).
NOTICE
NOTICE
•Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refuelling.
•Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
WARNING
CAUTION indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moder-
ate injury.
CAUTION
FFUUEELLRREEQQUUIIRREEMMEENNTTSS
Using unleaded petrol with an
octane rating lower than RON 95
could result in loss of engine
power and increase fuel con-
sumption.
CAUTION

Introduction
Petrol containing ethanol
Ethanol [E-10], a mixture of petrol
and ethanol (also known as grain
alcohol), is marketed along with or
instead of leaded or unleaded petrol.
Do not use petrol containing more
than 10% ethanol, and do not use
petrol or ethanol containing any
methanol. Either of these fuels may
cause drivability problems and dam-
age to the fuel system, engine con-
trol system and emission control sys-
tem.
Discontinue using ethanol of any
kind if driveability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or driveability prob-
lems may not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty if they result
from the use of:
1. Petrol containing more than 10%
ethanol.
2. Petrol or ethanol containing
methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded ethanol.
Never use fuel which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of any
petrol product which impairs dri-
vability.
Other fuels
Using fuel additives such as:
- Silicone fuel additive
- MMT (Magnanese, Mn) fuel additive
- Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel additive
- Other metallic-based fuel additives
may result in cylinder misfire, poor
acceleration, engine stalling, dam-
age to the catalyst converter, or
abnormal corrosion, and may cause
damage to the engine resulting in a
reduction in the overall life of the
powertrain.
Damage to the fuel system or per-
formance problems caused by the
use of these fuels may not be cov-
ered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

Introduction
Use of MTBE
Genesis recommends avoiding fuels
containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen
Content 2.7% weight) in your vehicle.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0%
vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight)
may reduce vehicle performance and
produce vapour lock or hard starting.
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty may not cover damage
to the fuel system and any per-
formance problems that are
caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol or fuels contain-
ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen
Content 2.7% weight.)
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood
alcohol) should not be used in your
vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce
vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system,
engine control system and emission
control system.
Fuel Additives
Genesis recommends that you use
unleaded petrol which has an octane
rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 95 or higher.
For customers who do not use good
quality petrols, and have problems
starting or the engine does not run
smoothly, adding one bottle of addi-
tives to the fuel tank is recommend-
ed according to the maintenance
schedule (refer to chapter 7, “Normal
Maintenance Schedule”).
Additives are available from your
authorised Genesis dealer along
with information on how to use them.
Do not mix other additives.
• This vehicle should not be modi-
fied. Modification of your vehicle
could affect its performance, safety
or durability and may even violate
governmental safety and emis-
sions regulations.
In addition, damage or perform-
ance problems resulting from any
modification may not be covered
under warranty.
• If you use unauthorised electronic
devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge and fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorised
electronic devices.

Introduction
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 1,000 km you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• When driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
• Do not use Launch Control during
the break-in process.

This chapter provides you with important information about how to protect yourself and your passengers.
It explains how to properly use your seats and seat belts, and how your air bags work.
Additionally, this chapter explains how to properly restrain infants and children in your vehicle.

2-2
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout
this section, and throughout this man-
ual.The safety precautions in this sec-
tion 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
Whilst 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 prop-
erly restrained. Infants, young chil-
dren, and short adults are at the
greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instruc-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially 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 driv-
ing. To reduce your risk of distraction
and an accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(i.e., MP3 players, phones, naviga-
tion units, etc.) when your vehicle is
parked or safely stopped.
• ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed by laws and conditions per-
mit safe use. NEVER text or email
whilst driving. Most countries have
laws prohibiting drivers from texting.
Some countries and cities also pro-
hibit drivers from using handheld
phones.
