HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Introduction
1-4
Petrol engine
Unleaded
For the optimal vehicle performance, we recommend you use unleaded petrol which
has an octane rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91
or higher. You may use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of RON 91-94 / AKI 87-90
but it may result in slight performance reduction of the vehicle. (Do not use methanol
blended fuels)
Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL,
as well as minimise exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.
NOTICE
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is detrimental to the catalytic
converter and will damage the engine control system’s oxygen sensor and affect
emission control.
Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has
been specified (We recommend that you consult a Genesis authorised repairer for
details.)
WARNING
• Do not “top off” after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refuelling.
• Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident. )8(/5(48,5(0(176

1-5
Petrol containing alcohol and methanol
Gasohol, a mixture of petrol and ethanol (also known as grain alcohol), and petrol or
gasohol containing methanol (also known as wood alcohol) are being marketed along
with or instead of leaded or unleaded petrol.
Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use petrol or
gasohol containing any methanol. Either of these fuels may cause drivability problems
and damage to the fuel system, engine control system and emission control system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or drivability problems may not be covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty if they result from the use of:
1. Gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol.
2. Petrol or gasohol containing methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
NOTICE
Never use gasohol which contains methanol. Discontinue use of any gasohol
product which impairs drivability.
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, damage to the
catalyst, or abnormal corrosion, and may cause damage to the engine resulting in a
reduction in the overall life of the powertrain.
NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or performance problem caused by the use of these fuels
may not be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Introduction

Use of MTBE
Genesis Vehicle 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.
NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may not cover damage to the fuel system and
any performance problems that are caused by the use of fuels containing 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) 91 or higher.
For customers who do not use good quality petrols including fuel additives regularly,
and have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, adding one bottle
of additives to the fuel tank is recommended according to the maintenance schedule
Additives are available from your Genesis authorized repairer along with information on
how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
Additives are available from a Genesis authorised repairer along with information on
how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in another country, be sure to:
• Observe all regulations regarding registration and insurance.
• Determine that acceptable fuel is available.

1-7
Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel that
complies with EN 590 or comparable standard. (EN stands for “European Norm”). Do
not use marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or non-approved fuel additives, as this will
increase wear and cause damage to the engine and fuel system.
The use of non-approved fuels and/or fuel additives will result in a limitation of your
warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is used in your vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel are
available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to the following temperature
conditions.
• Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
• Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully : If the engine stops through fuel failure,
the circuits must be completely purged to permit restarting.
NOTICE
Do not let any petrol or water enter the tank. This would make it necessary to drain
it out and to bleed the lines to avoid jamming the injection pump and damaging the
engine.
NOTICE
Diesel Fuel (if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use regulated automotive diesel fuel for diesel vehicle
equipped with the DPF system. If you use diesel fuel including high sulfur (more

Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly known
as “B7 Diesel” may be used in your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214 or equivalent
specifications. (EN stands for “European Norm”). The use of biofuels exceeding 7%
made from rapeseed methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), vegetable
oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding 7% with biodiesel will cause
increased wear or damage to the engine and fuel system. Repair or replacement
of worn or damaged components due to the use of non approved fuels will not be
covered by the manufactures warranty.
NOTICE
• Never use any fuel that fails to meet the latest petroleum industry specification.
• Never use any fuel additives or treatments that are not recommended or
approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS
• This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your vehicle could affect its
performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and
emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance 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.
NOTICE
All warning sounds (including welcome/good-bye sound, virtual engine sound, Road
Active Noise Control, etc.) are generated from the exterior amplifier and speakers.
If necessary, we recommend you to purchase Genesis Part to replace an exterior
amplifier and speakers. Any unauthorised product may cause a malfunction of the
exterior amplifier and speakers.

performance, economy and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Whilst 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 needed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
