Safety system of your vehicle
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
4. Emergency Fastening Device 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 retailer of
Genesis Branded products inspect the
pre-tensioner seat belts and SRS air
bags as soon as possible.
Information
• Both the driver's and front passen-ger's pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions or rollovers.
• When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be inhaled for prolonged
periods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in
which the pre-tensioner seat belts
were activated.
• The pre-tensioner seat belt system may get adversely affected by
installing an audio system to the
center console or welding/painting
the frontal vehicle body.
In this case, consult an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded prod-
ucts. The air bag warning light illu-
minates, if there is a malfunction
with the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem.
• In following situations, immediately have the air bag system and the pre-
tensioner seat belt system checked
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
- The air bag warning light does notilluminate at all after turning ON
the engine.
- The air bag warning light remains ON over 6 seconds after turning
ON the engine.

Safety system of your vehicle
This vehicle is equipped with an Advanced Supplemental Air Bag System for
the driver's seat and front passenger's seats.
The front air bags are designed to supplement the three-point seat belts\
. For
these air bags to provide protection, the seat belts must be worn at all times
when driving.
You can be severely injured or killed in an accident if you are not wearing a
seat belt. Air bags are designed to supplement seat belts, but do not replace
them. Also, air bags are not designed to deploy in every collision. In some
accidents, the seat belts are the only restraint protecting you.
AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time,
everyone! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in
a collision if you are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt
when the air bag inflates.
NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front
passenger seat. An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant
or child causing serious or fatal injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the
safest place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older
must be seated in the front seat, he or she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as far back as possible.
All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during
an accident, the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bags or lean against the door or center console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle. The U.S. National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that drivers allow at
least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and
the chest.
WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and front passen-
gers with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system
alone. The SRS uses sensors to
gather information about the driver’s
and front passenger's seat belt
usage and impact severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors deter-
mine if the driver and front passen-
ger's seat belts are fastened. These
sensors provide the ability to control
the SRS deployment based on
whether or not the seat belts are fas-
tened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation within
two levels. A first stage level is pro-
vided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, and
seat belt usage, the SRS Control
Module (SRSCM) controls the air
bag inflation. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
front air bags, take the following
precautions:
Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags,
while still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
Never lean against the door or center console.
Do not allow the front passen- ger to place their feet or legs
on the dashboard.
No objects (such as crash pad cover, cellular phone holder,
cup holder, perfume or stick-
ers) should be placed over or
near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, windshield glass, and
the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Such
objects could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the
air bags to deploy.

Main components of the
Occupant Classification System
The OCS is designed to help detect
the presence of a properly-seated
front passenger and determine if the
passenger's front air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
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.
Front passenger seat adult occu-
pants who are properly seated and
wearing the seat belt properly,
should not cause the passenger air
bag to be automatically turned OFF.
For small adults it may be turned
OFF, however, if the occupant does
not sit in the seat properly (for exam-
ple, by not sitting upright, by sitting
on the edge of the seat, or by other-
wise being out of position), this could
cause the sensor to turn the air bag
OFF.
You will find the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator on the overhead
console. This system detects the
conditions 1-4 in the following table
and activates or deactivates the front
passenger air bag based on these
conditions. 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.
The OCS may not function properly if
the passenger takes actions which
can affect the classification system.
These include:
Failing to sit in an upright position.
Leaning against the door or center
console.
Sitting towards the sides of the front of the seat.
Putting their legs on the dashboard or resting them on other locations
which reduce the passenger
weight on the front seat.
Wearing the seat belt improperly.
Reclining the seatback.
Wearing a thick cloth like ski wear or hip protection wear.
Putting an additional thick cushion on the seat.
Putting electrical devices (e.g. notebook, satellite radio) on the
seat with inverter charging.

Riding in an improper position or placing weight on the front passen-
