Owner Maintenance
 
Performing maintenance work on a 
vehicle can be dangerous. If you lack 
sufficient knowledge and experience or 
the proper tools and equipment to do the 
work, have it done by an authorized 
retailer of Genesis Branded products. 
ALWAYS follow these precautions for 
performing maintenance work:
• Park your vehicle on level ground. Shift 
the vehicle to P (Park), apply the 
parking brake, and press the Engine 
Start/Stop button to the OFF position.
• Block the tires (front and back) to 
prevent the vehicle from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jewelry that 
can become entangled in moving parts.
• If you must run the engine during 
maintenance, do so in an outdoor area 
or in an area with plenty of ventilation.
• Keep flames, sparks, or smoking 
materials away from the battery and 
fuel-related parts.
 
 
Touching metal parts
WL_TouchingMetalPartWarning
Do not touch metal parts (including strut 
bars) while the engine is operating or hot. 
Doing so could result in serious personal 
injury. Turn the engine off and wait until 
the metal parts cool down to perform 
maintenance work on the vehicle.
 
The following lists are vehicle checks and 
inspections that should be performed by 
the owner or an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products at the 
frequencies indicated to help ensure safe, 
dependable operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be 
brought to the attention of your dealer as 
soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle 
checks are generally not covered by 
warranties and you may be charged for 
labor, parts and lubricants used.
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check the coolant level in the engine 
coolant reservoir or the liquid-cooled 
intercooler coolant reservoir.
• Check the windshield washer fluid 
level.
• Check for low or under-inflated tires.
 
Be careful when checking your coolant 
level if the engine is hot. This may result in 
coolant being blown out of the opening 
and cause serious burns and other 
injuries.
