Introduction

Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEAD-

ED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.

3.3 engine

Your new vehicle is designed to use only unleaded fuel having an octane num-

ber ((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. (Do not use

methanol blended fuels)

5.0 engine

Your new vehicle is designed to use only unleaded fuel having an octane num-

ber ((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. For improved

vehicle performance, premium unleaded fuel with an octane number ((R+M)/2)

of 91 (Research Octane Number 96) or higher is recommended. (Do not use

To prevent damage to the engine and engine components, never add

any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has

been specified.

Consult an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products for addi-

tional information.

NOTICE

• Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refu-

eling.

• Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel

spillage in the event of an accident.

WARNING

Introduction

F8

Gasoline containing alcohol or methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alcohol) are

being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline. For

example, "E15" is a gasohol comprised of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline.

Do not use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol, and do not use gaso-

line or gasohol containing any methanol. Either of these fuels may cause dri-

vability problems and damage to the fuel system, engine control system and

emission control system.

Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur.

"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel comprised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 per-

cent gasoline, and is manufactured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel

Vehicles."E85" is not compatible with your vehicle.Use of "E85" may result in

poor engine performance and damage to your vehicle's engine and fuel sys-

tem. Genesis Branded Vehicle recommends that customers do not use fuel

with an ethanol content exceeding 15 percent.

To prevent damage to your vehicle’s engine and fuel system:

• Never use gasohol which contains methanol.

• Never use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol.

• Never use leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

• Never use "E85" fuel.

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the fuel

system or any performance problems caused by the use of "E85" fuel.

Using Fuel Additives (except Detergent Fuel Additives)

Using fuel additives such as:

- Silicone 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.

- The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate.

Damage to the fuel system or performance problem caused by the use

of these fuels or fuel additives may not be covered by your New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.

NOTICE

Gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains harmful manganese-based fuel additives such as

MMT (

Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl

)

.

Genesis Branded Vehicle does not recommend the use of gasoline contain-

ing MMT.

This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and affect your emission

control system.

The malfunction indicator lamp on the cluster may come on.

Detergent Fuel Additives

Genesis Branded Vehicle recommends that you use good quality gasolines treat-

ed with detergent additives such as TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, which help

prevent deposit formation in the engine.These gasolines will help the engine run

cleaner and enhance performance of the Emission Control System. For more

information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please go to the website

(www.toptiergas.com).

For customers who do not use TOP Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly, and

have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, detergent-based

fuel additives that you can purchase separately may be added to the gasoline.

If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive added

to the fuel tank at every 7,500 miles or 12 months is recommended.

Additives are available from your authorized retailer of Genesis Branded prod-

ucts 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.

tion may not be covered under warranty.

• If you use unauthorized electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to oper-

ate abnormally, wire damage, battery discharge and fire.For your safety, do

Introduction

By following a few simple precautions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you

may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.

• Do not race the engine.

• While 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 prop-

erly.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Items contained in motor vehicles or emitted from them are known to

the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or reproduc-

tive harm.These include:

• Gasoline and its vapors

• Engine exhaust

• Used engine oil

• Interior passenger compartment components and materials

• Component parts which are subject to heat and wear

In addition, battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain

lead, lead compounds and other chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

WARNING

Introduction

F12

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).The main pur-

pose of an EDR is to record,in certain crash or near crash-like situations,

such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will

assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed.The EDR is

designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems

for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.The EDR in this

vehicle is designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/

fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or

brake pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circum-

stances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are

recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no

data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no

personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are record-

ed. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the

EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired

during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and

access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle

manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,that have the spe-

cial equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehi-

cle or the EDR.
