Head Restraints
The vehicle's front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly
they are designed to help protect
passengers from whiplash and other
neck and spinal injuries during an
accident, especially in a rear impact
collision.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your head
restraints:
Always properly adjust the head restraints for all passen-
gers BEFORE starting the
vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with the head restraints
removed or reversed.
WARNING
Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from being thrown
about the vehicle in a collision
and causing injury to the vehicle
occupants. Do not p lace objects
in the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly secured and
may hit the front seat occupants
in a collision.
WARNING
Make sure the engine is off, the vehicle is shifted to P
(Park) and the parking brake
is applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. The vehi-
cle may move if the shift lever
is inadvertently moved to
another position.
When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats,
ensure the cargo is properly
secured to prevent it from
moving while driving.

warmers and seats:
Never use a solvent such aspaint thinner, benzene, alcohol
or gasoline to clean the seats.
Do not place heavy or sharp objects on seats equipped with

the seat warmer to overheat,
causing a burn or damage to
the seat.

SERIOUS BURN, even at low
temperatures and especially if
used for long periods of time.
Passengers must be able to feel
if the seat is becoming too
warm so they can turn it off, if

small vent holes on the surface of the
seat cushions and seatbacks.
When the operation of the seat cool-
er is not needed, keep the switches
in the OFF position.While the engine is running, push the
switch to cool the seat.

When pressing the switch for more
than 1.5 seconds with the seat
cooler operating, the seat cooler
will turn OFF.
The seat cooler automatically turns off if a passenger is not seated for
approximately 40 minutes.
The seat cooler defaults to the OFF position whenever the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON posi-
tion.
Information
• If the outside temperature is under33°F (2°C), the seat cooler may not
operate.
• Use the seat cooler when the climate control system is on. Using the seat
cooler for prolonged periods of time
with the climate control system off
could cause the climate control seat
performance to be reduced. To prevent damage to the seat
cooler and seats:
Never use a solvent such as
paint 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
retailer of Genesis Branded
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
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.

Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
All 50 states have child restraint laws
which require children to travel in
approved child restraint devices,
including booster seats. The age at
which seat belts can be used instead
of child restraints differs among
states, so you should be aware of the
specific requirements in your state,
and where you are travelling. Infant
and child restraints must be properly
placed and installed in a rear seat.
For more information refer to the
"Child Restraint Systems" section in
this chapter. 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.
ALWAYS properly restrain
infants and small children in a
child restraint appropriate for
the child's height and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death to a child and
other passengers, NEVER hold
a child in your lap or arms when
the vehicle is moving. The vio-
lent forces created during an
accident will tear the child from
your arms and throw the child
against the interior of the vehi-
cle.
