Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags and the driver's knee
air bag are designed to inflate in a
frontal collision depending on the the
severity of impact of the front colli-
sion.
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.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 occupants
move in the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air bag
deployment would not provide addi-
tional occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate depending on the severi-
ty of impact.

• The power trunk can be operat-
ed when the engine is not run-
ning. However, the power trunk
operation consumes a large
amount of electic power.
To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not oper-
ate it excessively (e.g. more than
5 times repeatedly).
• To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not leave
the power trunk in the open
position for a long time.
• Do not modify or repair any part
of the power trunk by yourself.
This must be done by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
• When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehi-
cle, do not operate the power
trunk. This could cause the
power trunk to operate improp-
erly.
• In cold and wet climates, the
power trunk may not work prop-
erly due to freezing conditions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power trunk is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
trunk will detect the resistance.
If resistance is detected while open-
ing or closing the power trunk, the
trunk will stop and move in the oppo-
site direction.
However, in some instances the
automatic reversal system may not
detect the object if it is too soft or is
very thin, or if the trunk is almost fully
closed near the latched position.
Caution should be taken to prevent
any objects from obstructing the
trunk opeining.If the automatic reversal feature
operates more than 2 times while
attempting to open or close the
trunk, the power trunk may stop at
that position. If this occurs, carefully
close the trunk manually, and then
try to operate the power trunk auto-
matically again.
NOTICE
OIK048433
Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in
the path of the power trunk to
make sure the automatic rever-
sal operates.
WARNING
Do not put heavy objects on the
power trunk before you operate
the power trunk feature.
Additional weight may damage
the operation of the system.
CAUTION

coming vehicle or the tail
lamps of a vehicle in front is
covered with dust, snow, or
water
•When the headlamps on an
on-coming vehicle are OFF,
but the fog lamps are ON
2) When the High Beam Assist
camera is adversely affected
by an external condition.
Such examples may include:
•When the vehicle's head-
lamps have been damaged or
not repaired properly
•When the vehicle headlamps
are not aimed properly
