2018 GENESIS G90 Owner's Manual

Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity of impact
resulting from a side impact collision.
Although the driver's and front pas-
senger's air bags are designed to
inflate only in frontal collisions, they
also may inflate in other types of col-
lisions if the front impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact. Side and
curtain air bags are designed to
inflate only in side impact collisions
or rollover situations, but they may
inflate in other collisions if the side
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags
are designed not to deploy in such
cases because they may not provide
benefits beyond the protection of the
seat belts.

Safety system of your vehicle
Front air bags are not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward by
the force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not provide
any additional benefit.
Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occu-
pants move in the direction of the
collision, and thus in side impacts,
front air bag deployment would not
provide additional occupant protec-
tion.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate depending on the intensi-
ty, vehicle speed and angles of
impact. In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.
Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.

Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.
Information
Front air bags do not inflate in
rollover accidents. However, side
impact and curtain air bags may
inflate in a rollover, when it is detect-
ed by the rollover sensor.Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated and the colli-
sion energy is absorbed by the vehi-
cle structure.

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate
when the Engine Start/Stop button is
in the ON position, or continuously
remains on, have your vehicle imme-
diately inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, the
front passenger's panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products. Improper han-
dling of the SRS system may result
in serious personal injury.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, take the follow-
ing precautions:
Do not attempt to modify or disconnect the SRS compo-
nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure.
Do not place objects over or near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, or the front passen-
ger’s panel above the glove
box.
Clean the air bag pad covers with a soft cloth moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and
proper deployment of the sys-
tem.

WARNING
(Continued)
Always have inflated air bagsreplaced by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
If components of the air bag system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
Consult an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products
for the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precau-
tions could increase the risk
of personal injury.

Additional Safety Precautions
Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving.A passenger who is not
wearing a seat belt during a crash or
emergency stop can be thrown
against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or be ejected
from the vehicle.
Do not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the
seat belt can reduce the protection
provided by the seat belt and increase
the chance of serious injury in a crash
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the sup-
plemental restraint system sensing
components or side air bags.
Do not place items under the front
seats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera-
tion of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem sensing components and wiring
harnesses.
Do not cause impact to the doors.
Impact to the doors when the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON position
may cause the air bags to inflate. Modifications to accommodate
disabilities.
If you require modifica-
tion to your vehicle to accommodate
a disability, contact Genesis
Customer Care at 844 340-9741
Adding equipment to or modify- ing your air bag equipped vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle’s frame, bumper system,
front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle’s air bag system.

Air Bag Warning Labels
Air bag warning labels, required by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), are attached to alert the driver and passengers of
potential risks of the air bag system. Be sure to read all of the information
about the air bags that are installed on your vehicle in this Owners Manual.
