Side air bags
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
air bag in each front seat and out-
board rear seat. The purpose of the
air bag is to provide the vehicle's
driver and the front passenger with
additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone.The side air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
The side and curtain air bags on both
sides of the vehicle may deploy if a
rollover or possible rollover is detect-
ed.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the side air bags and pre-ten-
sioners on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected. However, the
side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.

To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
side air bag, take the following
precautions:
Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
Do not allow passengers to lean their heads or bodies
onto doors, put their arms on
the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place
objects between the doors
and seats.
Hold the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions, to minimize the risk of
injuries to your hands and
arms.
Do not use any accessory seat covers. This could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness
of the system.

How Does the Air Bags
System Operate?
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Side impact sensor(acceleration type)
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM) /Rollover sensor
8. Front impact sensors
9. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
10. Driver's knee air bag module
11. Driver's and front passenger's seat belt buckle sensors
12. Emergency fastening device
13. Side impact sensor (pressure type)
14. Occupant classification system
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
curtain air bags, take the follow-
ing precautions:
All seat occupants must wear
seat belts at all times to help
keep occupants positioned
properly.
Properly secure child restraints as far away from the
door as possible.
Do not place any objects over the air bag. Also, do not attach
any objects around the area
the air bag inflates such as
the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar, roof side
rail.
Do not hang other objects except clothes, especially
hard or breakable objects. In
an accident, it may cause
vehicle damage or personal
injury.
Do not hang other objects except clothes on the clothes
hanger. In an accident it may
cause vehicle damage or per-
sonal injury especially when
airbag is inflated.
Do not allow passengers to lean their heads or bodies
onto doors, put their arms on
the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place
objects between the doors
and seats.
Do not open or repair the side curtain air bags.

Safety system of your vehicleWhen the SRSCM detects a suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the front air bags.
Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Further
opening of the covers allows full
inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver or the front passen-
ger forward motion, reducing the risk
of head and chest injury.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-
cautions:
NEVER place a child restraint
in the front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain chil-
dren under age 13 in the rear
seats of the vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger’s and driver's seats as far to the
rear as possible while allow-
ing you to maintain full con-
trol of the vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel with hands at the 9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positions.
Never place anything or any- one between the air bag and
the seat occupant.
Do not allow the front passen- ger to place their feet or legs
on the dashboard.

Do not sit on the passenger seat wearing heav-ily padded clothes such as ski wear and hip
protector.
Do not use car seat accessories such as thick blankets and cushions which cover up the car
seat surface.
Do not place electronic devices such as lap- tops, DVD player, or conductive materials such
as water bottles on the passenger seat.
Do not use electronic devices such as laptops and satellite radios which use inverter charg-
ers.
If large quantity of liquid has been spilled on the passenger seat, the air bag warning light
may illuminate or malfunction.
Therefore, make sure the seat has been com-
pletely dried before driving the vehicle.
Do not place sharp objects on the front passenger seat. These may damage the occupant detection system, if they puncture the seat
cushion.
Do not place any items under the front passenger seat.
When changing or replacing the seat or seat cover, use original items only. The OCS has been developed based on using original
Genesis Branded products seats only. Altering or changing the
authentic parts may result in system malfunction and increase risk
of injury when in collision. Any of the above could interfere with the
proper operation of the OCS sensor thereby increasing the risk of
an injury in an accident.

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.

tion to your vehicle to accommodate
a disability, contact Genesis
