Seat Belt Restraint System
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
The 3-point seatbelts are installed
both on the front seats and on the
rear seats. During normal driving
situations, the 3-point seatbelt
does not operate the Emergency
Locking Retractor. It rather natural-
ly extends along with passenger's
easy motion, while holding passen-
ger's body in position.
However, the Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR) automatically
operates in abrupt stopping, sharp
turning, or collision.
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) The Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) is to provide the child
restraint system with better protec-
tion. The front passenger's seat
and the rear seats are equipped
with the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR). You can use the
Automatic Locking Retractor mode
during normal driving situations.
When the child restraint system is
installed, switch the system to the
ALR mode.

The front passenger's seat belt
warning light does not properly
operate, if the front passenger
sits in an improper position. The
front passenger should follow
the instruction to properly fas-
ten the seat belt.

vehicle may damage the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt (retractor pre-ten-
sioner seat belt and emergency
fastening device) system.The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration above:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner
3. SRS control module

System
Information
The sensor that activates the SRS air
bag is connected with the pre–tension-
er seat belts. The SRS air bag warning
light on the instrument panel will illu-
minate for approximately 6 seconds
after the engine Start/Stop button in
the ON position, and then it should
turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illumi-
nate even if the SRS air bag is not mal-
functioning. If the warning light does
not illuminate, stays illuminated or
illuminates when the vehicle is being
driven, have an authorized Dealer of
Genesis Brand Products inspect the
pre-tensioner seat belts and SRS air
bags as soon as possible.

should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an acci-
dent in which the pre-tensioner seat

Pre-Active Seat Belt (PSB)
(if equipped)
The purpose of the pre-active seat
belt is to tighten the seat belt when a
collision is sensed, during emer-
gency braking, or when a loss of
control is sensed.
The pre-active seat belt is a sup-
plementary system. The pre-active
seat belt activates only when the
passenger is wearing his/her seat
belt.
The pre-active seat belt warning will
turn on if there is a problem with your
pre-active seat belt.Have the system checked by an
authorized Dealer of Genesis Brand
Products if the warning message
comes on while the vehicle is in
motion. When the PSB warning mes-
sage disappears, the master warning
light ( ) will illuminate.
In order to maximize the safety of the
passenger, the pre-active seat belt
system operates as below.
Full retraction
The seat belt is tightened when:
- Emergency braking situation occurs
- Losing control of the vehicle
- The vehicle senses a collision
- Driving on a slippery frozen road
Slack removal Tightens a loose seat belt if vehicle
speed is over 9.3 mph (15 km/h).
Belt parking Tightens a loose seat belt when

Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat by a
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before
buying any child restraint system,
make sure that it has a label certify-
ing that it meets Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS
213. The restraint must be appropri-
ate for your child’s height and weight.
Check the label on the child restraint
for this information. Refer to the
"Child Restraint Systems" section in
this chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are
too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should lie across the upper
thighs and be snug across the shoul-
der and chest to restrain the child
safely. Check belt fit periodically.
Children are afforded the most safe-
ty in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper
restraint system and/or seat belts in
the rear seat. Always have the
LATCH system inspected by your
authorized Dealer of Genesis Brand
Products after an accident. An acci-
dent can damage the LATCH system
and may not properly secure the
child restraint.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rear-
most position.If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child's neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need
to be returned to an appropriate
booster seat in the rear seat.
Transporting an injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific rec-
ommendations.
Always make sure children
are wearing their seat belts
and that they are properly
adjusted before driving.
NEVER allow the shoulder belt to contact the child’s
neck or face.
Do not allow more than one child to use a single seat belt.

Safety system of your vehicle
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module) continually
monitors all SRS components while
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require air
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint
System) air bag warning light on the
instrument panel displays the air bag
symbol depicted in the illustration.
The system checks the air bag elec-
trical system for malfunctions. The
light indicates that there is a potential
malfunction with your air bag system,
which could include your side and
curtain air bags used for rollover pro-
tection.
If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properly
during an accident increasing
the risk of serious injury or
death.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-
functioning:
The light does not turn on for approximately six seconds
when the engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.
The light stays on after illumi- nating for approximately six
seconds.
The light comes on while the vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the engine is running.
Have an authorized Dealer of
Genesis Brand Products
inspect the SRS as soon as
possible if any of these condi-
tions occur.

Main components of theOccupant Classification System
A detection device located within
the front passenger seat cushion.
Electronic system to determine whether the passenger air bag sys-
tems should be activated or deacti-
vated.
An indicator light located on the instrument panel which illuminates
the words "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicating the front passen-
ger air bag system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag indi- cator light is interconnected with
the OCS. The purpose is to help reduce the
risk of injury or death from an inflat-
ing air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by
requiring the air bag to be automati-
cally turned OFF.
For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on
the seat, the occupant classification
sensor can detect it and cause the
air bag to turn OFF.
Always be sure that you and all vehi-
cle occupants are seated properly
and wearing the seat belt properly for
the most effective protection by the
air bag and the seat belt.
