„Passenger’s front air bag
ODN8039080L
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibility
and the ability to steer or operate other
controls.
WARNING
To prevent objects from becoming
dangerous projectiles when the
passenger’s air bag inflates:

[Do not install or place any objects
(drink holder, CD holder, stickers,
etc.) on the front passenger’s panel
above the glove box where the
passenger’s air bag is located.

[Do not install a container of liquid
air freshener near the instrument
cluster or on the instrument panel
surface.
What to Expect After an Air Bag
Inflates
After a frontal or side air bag inflates, it
will deflate very quickly. Air bag inflation
will not prevent the driver from seeing
out of the windshield or being able
to steer. Curtain air bags may remain
partially inflated for some time after they
deploy.
WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take the
following precautions:

[Open your windows and doors as
soon as possible after impact to
reduce prolonged exposure to the
smoke and powder released by the
inflating air bag.

[Do not touch the air bag storage
area’s internal components
immediately after an air bag has
inflated. The parts that come into
contact with an inflating air bag may
be very hot.

[Always wash exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold water and mild
soap.

[Have an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products replaced
the air bag immediately after
deployment. Air bags are designed to
be used only once.

Seats and Safety System
Main components of the Occupant
Classification System

[A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.

[Electronic system to help determine
whether the passenger air bag
systems should be activated or
deactivated.

[An indicator light located on the
instrument panel which illuminates
the words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicating the front passenger air bag
system is deactivated.

[The instrument panel air bag indicator
light is interconnected with the OCS.
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 inflating air
bag to certain front passenger seat
occupants, such as children, by requiring
the air bag to be automatically 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 occupants
who are properly seated and wearing the
seat belt properly, should not cause the
passenger air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. For smaller adults it may turn
OFF, however, if the occupant does not
sit in the seat properly (for example, by
not sitting upright, by sitting on the edge
of the seat, or by otherwise 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
panel. 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 vehicle
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 thick clothes like ski wear or
hip protection wear.

[Putting an additional thick cushion on
the seat.

[Putting electrical devices (for
example, notebook, satellite radio) on
the seat with inverter charging.

WARNING
Riding in an improper position or placing weight on the front passenger’s seat when
it is unoccupied by a passenger adversely affects the OCS. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death:
ORG3EV031045

pocket, or hang any items on the front passenger
seat.
ORG3EV031048

[NEVER place your feet on the front passenger
seatback.
ORG3EV031046

[NEVER sit with your hips shifted towards the front of
the seat.
ORG3EV031049

ORG3EV031050

[NEVER lean on the door or center console or sit on
one side of the front passenger seat.
OJWEV031031

[Do not sit on the passenger seat wearing heavily
padded clothes such as ski wear and hip protector.
OJWEV031034

[Do not use car seat accessories such as thick blankets
and cushions which cover up the car seat surface.
OJWEV031032

[Do not place electronic devices such as laptops, 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 chargers.
OJWEV031033

[If a 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 completely
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 retailer of Genesis
Branded products. The OCS has been developed using original Genesis parts car
seats. Altering or changing the authentic parts may result in system malfunction
and increase risk of injury when in a 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.

Proper seated position for OCS
If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator is on when an adult is seated
in the front passenger seat, place the
Start/Stop button in the OFF position and
ask the passenger to sit properly (sitting
upright with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor).
Restart the vehicle and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow
the system to detect the person and
to enable the passenger air bag. If the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator is
still on, ask the passenger to move to the
rear seat.
WARNING
NEVER allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front passenger seat when the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator
is illuminated. During a collision, the
air bag will not inflate if the indicator
is illuminated. Have your passenger
reposition themselves in the seat. If the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator
remains illuminated after the passenger
repositions themselves properly
and the vehicle is restarted, have
the passenger move to the rear seat
because the air bag will not inflate.
NOTICE
The “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator generally illuminates for
approximately 4 seconds after the
Start/Stop button is in the ON or START
position. But, if the START/STOP button
is pressed to the ON or START position
within 3 minutes after the vehicle is
turned OFF, the indicator does not
illuminate. If the front passenger seat
is occupied, the OCS will then classify
the front passenger after several more
seconds.

Air bag non-inflation conditions
ORG3EV031066
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.
ORG3EV031082
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.
ORG3EV031067
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 additional
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags may
inflate depending on the severity of
impact.
ORG3EV031068
In an angled collision, the force of impact
may direct the occupants in a direction
where the air bags would not be able to
provide any additional benefit, and thus
the sensors may not deploy any air bags.

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 Start/Stop button is in the
ON position, or continuously remains
on, have the system be immediately
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
We recommend 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 be performed by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products. Improper handling of the SRS
system may result in serious personal
Injuries. WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death, take the following precautions:

[Do not attempt to modify or
disconnect the SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of any
kind of badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure.

[Do not place objects over or near
the air bag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger’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
system.

[Always have inflated air bags be
replaced 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
precautions must be observed.
Consult an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products for the
necessary information. Failure to
follow these precautions could
increase the risk of personal injury.
