2015 Hyundai Genesis Owner’s Manual

The 2015 Hyundai Genesis was a luxury car that showed how committed Hyundai was to giving drivers a sophisticated and high-class experience. The Genesis was made to compete with other luxury names by having an elegant design, cutting-edge technology, and high-quality features. The outside had a sleek, modern look, with Hyundai’s trademark hexagonal grille and unique lighting features. Inside, the car gave off an air of luxury with its high-quality materials, cutting-edge infotainment systems, and many advanced safety features. The 2015 Genesis had powerful engine choices that were both quick and fuel-efficient. The Genesis tried to change how people thought about luxury sedans by giving them a premium driving experience without the premium price tag. It was made for people who wanted both style and substance in their car.

Power windows

The Engine Start/Stop button must be in the ON position to be able to raise or lower the windows. Each door has a Power Window switch to control that door’s window. The driver has a Power Window Lock switch which can block the operation of passenger windows. The power windows will operate for approximately 30 seconds after the Engine Start/Stop button is placed in the ACC or OFF position. However, if the front doors are opened, the Power Windows cannot be operated even within the 30 second period.

WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death, do not extend your head, arms or body outside the windows while driving.

NOTICE

• In cold and wet climates, power windows may not work properly due to freezing conditions.
• While driving with the rear windows down or with the sunroof (if equipped) opened (or partially opened), your vehicle may demonstrate a wind buffeting or pulsation noise. This noise is normal and can be reduced or eliminated by taking the following actions. If the noise occurs with one or both of the rear windows down, partially lower both front windows approximately one inch. If you experience the noise with the sunroof open, slightly close the sunroof.

Window opening and closing

To open:
Press the window switch down to the first detent position (5). Release the switch when you want the window to stop.

To close:
Pull the window switch up to the first detent position (5). Release the window switch when you want the window to stop.

Auto up/down window
Pressing or pulling up the power window switch momentarily to the second detent position (6) completely lowers or lifts the window even when the switch is released. To stop the window at the desired position while the window is in operation, pull up or press down and release the switch.

To reset the power windows
If the power windows do not operate normally, the automatic power window system must be reset as follows:

1. Place the Engine Start/Stop button to the ON position.
2. Close the window and continue pulling up on the power window switch for at least one second.

If the power windows do not operate properly after resetting, have the system checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Automatic reverse

If a window senses any obstacle while it is closing automatically, it will stop and lower approximately 12 inches (30 cm) to allow the object to be cleared. If the window detects the resistance while the power window switch is pulled up continuously, the window will stop upward movement then lower approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm). If the power window switch is pulled up continuously again within 5 seconds after the window is lowered by the automatic window reversal feature, the automatic window reversal will not operate.

NOTICE
The automatic reverse feature is only active when the “Auto Up” feature is used by fully pulling up the switch to the second detent.

WARNING
Make sure body parts or other objects are safely out of the way before closing the windows to avoid injuries or vehicle damage. Objects less than 0.16 inch (4 mm) in diameter caught between the window glass and the upper window channel may not be detected by the automatic reverse window and the window will not stop and reverse direction.

When the power window lock switch is pressed:

WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keep the driver’s door power windowlock switch in the LOCK position. Serious injury or death can result from unintentional window operation by a child.

CAUTION

• To prevent possible damage to the power window system, do not open or close two windows or more at the same time. This will also ensure the longevity of the fuse.
• Never try to operate the main switch on the driver’s door and the individual door window switch in opposite directions at the same time. If this is done, the window will stop and cannot be opened or closed.

PANORAMA SUNROOF (IF EQUIPPED)

Headrest
The vehicle’s front and rear seats have adjustable headrests.The headrests provide comfort for passengers, but more importantly they are designed to help protect passengers from whiplash and other neck and spinal injuries during an accident, especially in a rear impact collision.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in an accident, take the following precautions when adjusting your headrests:

• Always properly adjust the headrests for all passengers BEFORE starting the vehicle.
• NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with the headrest removed.
• Adjust the headrests so the middle of the headrests is at the same height as the height of the top of the eyes.
• NEVER adjust the headrest position of the driver’s seat when the vehicle is in motion.
• Adjust the headrest as close to the passenger’s head aspossible. Do not use a seat cushion that holds the body away from the seatback.
• Make sure the headrest locks into position after adjusting it.

Seat warmers and coolers (by air) (if equipped)

The seat warmers and coolers are provided to warm or cool the front seats by blowing air through small vent holes on the surface of the seat cushions and seatbacks. When the operation of the seat warmers or cooler are not needed, keep the switches in the OFF position. While the engine is running, push the switch to warm or cool the driver’s seat or the front passenger’s seat (if equipped).

• Each time you push the switch, the airflow changes as follows:
  • When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the seat warmer or cooler operating, the seat warmer will turn OFF.
  • The seat warmers or coolers defaults to the OFF position whenever the Engine Start/Stop button is turned to the ON position.

NOTICE
With the seat warmer or cooler switch in the ON position, the system in the seat automatically controls the seat temperature by designed temperature.

SEAT BELTS
This section describes how to use the seat belts properly. It also describes some of the things not to do when using seat belts.

Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make sure all passengers have fastened their seat belts before starting any trip. Air bags are designed to supplement the seat belt as an additional safety device, but they are not a substitute. Most states require all occupants of a vehicle to wear seat belts.

To fasten your seat belt:
Pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the metal tab (1) into the buckle (2). There will be an audible “click” when the tab locks into the buckle. The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length after the lap belt portion is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly around your hips. If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will extend and move with you. If there is a sudden stop or impact, the belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you try to lean forward too quickly.
