Genesis G90 (2017 year). Manual - part 7

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 driv-
er has a Power Window Lock switch
which can block the operation of pas-
senger 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.

Information 

• In cold and wet climates, power win-

dows 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 buf-
feting or pulsation noise. This noise is
normal and can be reduced or elimi-
nated by taking the following actions.
If the noise occurs with one or both of
the rear windows down, partially
lower both front windows approxi-
mately 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 win-
dow switch when you want the win-
dow to stop.

Auto up/down window

Pressing or pulling up the power win-
dow switch momentarily to the sec-
ond 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.

while driving.

WARNING

OHI046029

To reset the power windows

If the power windows do not operate
normally, the automatic power win-
dow 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, it is recom-
mended that the system be checked
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.

Automatic reversal 

If a window senses any obstacle
while it is closing automatically, it will
stop and lower approximately 30 cm
(12 inches) 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 2.5 cm (1 inch).
If the power window switch is pulled
up continuously again within 5 sec-
onds after the window is lowered by
the automatic window reversal fea-
ture, the automatic window reversal
will not operate.

Information 

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

Information

The Power Trunk Lock button will
not work if you press the button when:
- Any door is open.
- The Engine Start/Stop button is not

in the OFF position.

- The Smart Key is in the vehicle.

• Do not close or open the Power

Trunk manually. This may cause
damage to the Power Trunk. If it
is necessary to close or open the
Power Trunk manually when the
battery is drained or disconnect-
ed, do not apply excessive force.

• Do not leave the Power Trunk

open for a long period of time.
This may drain the battery.

• To prevent damage to the trunk

lift cylinders and the attached
hardware, always close the trunk
before driving.

Information 

In cold and wet climates, trunk lock
and trunk mechanisms may not work
properly due to freezing conditions.

Power trunk non-opening or
closing conditions:

• The Power Trunk will not open or

close automatically, when the vehi-
cle is moving more than 3 km/h (1.8
mph).

• The Power Trunk can be operated

when the engine is not running.
However, the Power Trunk operation
consumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the bat-
tery from draining, do not operate it
excessively (e.g., more than
approximately 10 times repeatedly.)

• Do not modify or repair any part of

the Power Trunk by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded prod-
ucts.

• Before jacking up the vehicle to

change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the Power Trunk. Do not oper-
ate the Power Trunk when the vehi-
cle is raised or this could cause the
Power Trunk to operate improperly.

i

NOTICE

i

Never leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle.
Children or animals might oper-
ate the power trunk that could
result in injury to themselves or
others, or damage to the vehicle.

WARNING

Always keep the trunk lid com-
pletely closed while the vehicle is
in motion. If it is left open or ajar,
poisonous exhaust gases con-
taining carbon monoxide (CO)
may enter the vehicle and seri-
ous illness or death may result.

WARNING

Make sure there are no people
or objects around the trunk
before opening or closing the
Power Trunk. Wait until the trunk
is open fully and stopped
before loading or unloading
cargo from the vehicle.

WARNING

• If there are obstacles such as snow

on the Power Trunk, it may not open
automatically. After removing the
obstacle, try to open it again.

Automatic stop and reverse 

If, during power opening or closing,
the trunk is blocked by an object or
part of someone’s body, the power
trunk will detect the resistance and it
will stop movement or move to the
full open position to allow the object
to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin or
soft, or the trunk is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and
reversal may not detect the resist-
ance and the closing operation will
continue. Also, if the Power Trunk is
forced by a strong impact, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may operate.
If the automatic stop and reverse fea-
ture operates more than twice during
one opening or closing operation, the
Power Trunk may stop at that posi-
tion. If this occurs, close the trunk
manually and operate the trunk auto-
matically again.

To reset the power trunk 

If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, or if the related fuse
has been replaced or disconnected,
reset the Power Trunk as follows:
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park)

position.

2. Close the trunk manually.
If the Power Trunk doesn't work prop-
erly after performing the above pro-
cedure, have the system checked by
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.

make sure the automatic stop
and reversal operates.

- Do not allow children to play

with the power trunk.

WARNING

Trunk lid control button 

When the trunk lid control button is in
the UNLOCK (button not pressed)
position, the power trunk can be con-
trolled with the power trunk main
control button, power trunk open,
close button, and the smart key.
When this trunk lid control button is in
the LOCK (button pressed) position,
the power trunk can be controlled
using the mechanical key of the
smart key only.
The smart trunk does not operate,
when the trunk lid control button is
pressed to the LOCK position.
Even though the trunk lid control but-
ton is in the LOCK (button pressed)
position, the trunk will still be pro-
pelled upward by mechanical force if
the trunk is manually opened more
than 10 degrees beyond the fully
closed position. In addition, if the
trunk is manually closed to the sec-
ondary latch position, the trunk will
be electrically moved to the fully
latched position.

Close the trunk, and keep the
trunk lid control button in the
LOCK (button pressed) position
before washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash.

Information 

If the trunk lid control button is in
LOCK position, the Smart Trunk sys-
tem will also be deactivated.

WARNING

(Continued)
• NEVER allow anyone to occupy

the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or
totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, serious
injury or death could occur due
to lack of ventilation, exhaust
fumes and rapid heat build-up,
or because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous loca-
tion in the event of a crash
because it is not a protected
occupant space but is a part of
the vehicle’s crush zone.

• Your vehicle should be kept

locked and the Smart Key
should be kept out of the
reach of children. Parents
should teach their children
about the dangers of playing
in trunks.

• Use the release lever for emer-

gencies only.
