Battery Saver Function
The purpose of this feature is to prevent the battery from being discharged. The system automatically turns off the parking lamp when the driver turns the vehicle off and opens the driver-side door.
With this feature, the parking lamps will turn off automatically if the driver parks on the side of road at night.
However, the parking lamps stay ON even when the driver-side door is opened if the headlight switch is turned to the parking lamp or AUTO (if equipped) position after the engine is turned off.
If necessary, to keep the lamps on turn the parking lamps OFF and ON again using the headlight switch on the steering column after the engine is turned off.
Headlight Delay Function
If the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ACC position or the OFF position with the headlights ON, the headlights (and/ or parking lamps) remain on for about 5 minutes. However, if the driver’s door is opened and closed, the headlights are turned off after 15 seconds. Also, with the vehicle off if the driver’s door is opened and closed, the headlights (and/ or parking lamps) are turned off after 15 seconds.
The headlights (and/or parking lamps) can be turned off by pressing the lock button on the smart key twice or turning the headlight switch to the OFF or AUTO position.
NOTICE
If the driver exits the vehicle through another door besides the driver door, the battery saver function does not operate and the headlight delay function does not turn OFF automatically.
This may cause the battery to discharge. To avoid battery discharge, turn OFF the headlights manually from the headlight switch before exiting the vehicle.
WARNING
If the function does not work properly, have the system inspected by an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products. Do not attempt to inspect or replace the wiring yourself.
Headlight Moisture Removal Function
When moisture fogs up inside of the headlight, if the headlights are on for certain period of time, the fan circulates the air inside to remove moisture. If moisture is not removed, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products.
