To prevent damage to the seat
cooler and seats:
Never use a solvent such aspaint thinner, benzene, alcohol
or gasoline to clean the seats.
Avoid spilling liquids on the sur- face of the seats and seatbacks;
this may cause the air vent holes
to become blocked and not work
properly.
Do not place materials such as plastic bags or newspapers
under the seats. They may block
the air intake causing the air
vents to not work properly.
Do not change the seat covers. It may damage the seat cooler.
If the air vents do not operate, restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Dealer
of Genesis Brand Products.

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 fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags are designed to
supplement the seat belt as an addi-
tional safety device, but they are not
a substitute. Most states require all
occupants of a vehicle to wear seat
belts.

Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the following
precautions when adjusting
and wearing seat belts:
ALWAYS properly restrain
children under age 13 in the
rear seats.
NEVER allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If
a child age 13 or older must
be seated in the front seat,
move the seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain
them in the seat.
NEVER allow an infant or child to be carried on an occu-
pant's lap.
NEVER ride with the seatback reclined when the vehicle is
moving.

WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
Do not allow children to sharea seat or seat belt.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind
your back.
Always wear both the shoul- der portion and lap portion of
the lap/shoulder belt.
Do not use the seat belt if it is twisted. A twisted seat belt
will not protect you properly
in an accident.
Do not use a seat belt if the webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
Do not latch the seat belt into the buckles of other seats.
NEVER unfasten the seat belt while driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
Make sure there is nothing in the buckle interfering with the
seat belt latch mechanism.
This may prevent the seat belt
from fastening securely.
No modifications or additions should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.

If you continue not to fasten the seat
belt and you drive over a certain
speed, the seat belt warning chime
will sound for approximately 100 sec-
onds and the corresponding warning
light will blink.
The warning will start again if the
seat belt is unfastened while driving.
Information
• You can find the front passenger's seat belt warning light on the center
fascia panel.
• Although the front passenger seat is not occupied, the seat belt warning
light will illuminate for 6 seconds.
• The front passenger's seat belt warning may operate when luggage
is placed on the front passenger seat.
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.
i
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.

Front Seat Belt – Driver's 3-point system with emergencylocking retractor
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 por-
tion 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.
Information
If you are not able to smoothly pull
enough of the seat belt out from the
retractor, firmly pull the seat belt out
and release it. After release, you will
be able to pull the belt out smoothly.
Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the
shoulder belt anchor to one of the
three different positions for maximum
comfort and safety.
The shoulder portion should be
adjusted so it lies across your chest
and midway over your shoulder near-
est the door, not over your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt
anchor, lower or raise the height
adjuster into an appropriate position.
To raise the height adjuster, pull it up
(1). To lower it, push it down (3) while
pressing the height adjuster button (2).
Release the button to lock the anchor
into position. Try sliding the height
adjuster to make sure that it has
locked into position.

Rear Seat Belt – Passenger's 3-point system with convertiblelocking retractor
This type of seat belt combines the
features of both an emergency lock-
ing retractor seat belt and an auto-
matic locking retractor seat belt.
Convertible retractor type seat belts
are installed in the rear seat posi-
tions to help accommodate the
installation of child restraint systems.
Although a convertible retractor is
also installed in the front passenger
seat position, NEVER place any
infant/child restraint system in the
front seat of the vehicle.
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull the seat belt out of the retractor
and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible
"click" when the tab locks into the
buckle. When not securing a child
restraint, the seat belt operates in the
same way as the driver's seat belt
(Emergency Locking Retractor
Type). It automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt
portion of the seat belt is adjusted
manually so that it fits snugly across
your hips.
When the seat belt is fully extended
from the retractor to allow the instal-
lation of a child restraint system, the
seat belt operation changes to allow
the belt to retract, but not to extend
(Automatic Locking Retractor Type).
Refer to the "Using a Child Restraint
System" section in this chapter.
Improperly positioned seat
belts may increase the risk of
serious injury in an accident.
Take the following precautions
when adjusting the seat belt:
Position the lap portion of the
seat belt as low as possible
across your hips, not on your
waist, so that it fits snugly.
Position one arm under the shoulder belt and the other
over the belt, as shown in the
illustration.
Always position the shoulder belt anchor into the locked
position at the appropriate
height.
Never position the shoulder belt across your neck or face.
