Seat Warmers and Air
Ventilation Seats
Seat warmers (if equipped)
Seat warmers are provided to warm
the seats during cold weather.
To prevent damage to the seat
warmers and seats:
• Never use a solvent such as
paint thinner, benzene, alcohol
or gasoline to clean the seats.
• Do not place heavy or sharp
objects on seats equipped with
seat warmers.
• Do not change the seat cover. It
may damage the seat warmer.
NOTICE
The seat warmers can cause a
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 needed.
WARNING
People who cannot detect tem-
perature change or pain to the
skin should use extreme cau-
tion, especially the following
types of passengers:
•Infants, children, elderly or
disabled persons, or hospital
outpatients.
•People with sensitive skin or
who burn easily.

•Intoxicated individuals.
•People taking medication that
can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness.
NEVER place anything on the
seat that insulates against heat
when the seat warmer is in oper-
ation, such as a blanket or seat
cushion. This may cause the
seat warmer to overheat, caus-
ing a burn or damage to the seat.

Front air ventilation seat
(if equipped)
The air ventilation seats are provided
to cool the front seats by blowing air
through small vent holes on the sur-
face of the seat cushions and seat-
backs.
When the operation of the air ventila-
tion seat is not needed, keep the
switches in the OFF position.
While the engine is running, push the
switch to cool the driver's seat or the
front passenger's seat.• Each time you push the switch, the
airflow changes as follows:
• When pressing the switch for more
than 1.5 seconds with the air venti-
lation seat operating, the operation
will turn OFF.
• If the vehicle is turned off then on
again, the air ventilation seat stays
OFF regardless of the previous
state of the air ventilation seat.
To prevent damage to the air ven-
tilation seat:
• Use the air ventilation seat ONLY
when the climate control system
is on. Using the air ventilation
seat for prolonged periods of
time with the climate control sys-
tem off could cause the air venti-
lation seat to malfunction.
• Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gaso-
line to clean the seats.• Avoid spilling liquids on the sur-
face of the front seats and seat-
backs; 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 air ventilation
seat.
• If the air vents do not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, have the vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.NOTICE

• 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.
