Seats and Safety System
Safety Precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting
in a safe and comfortable position plays
an important role for the safety of the
driver and passengers, as much as seat
belts and air bags when in an accident.
WARNING
Do not use a cushion that reduces
friction between the seat and the
passenger. The passenger’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of the seat
belt during an accident or a sudden
stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could
result because the seat belt cannot
operate properly.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air bag.
Sitting too close to an air bag greatly
increases the risk of injury in the event
the air bag inflates. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends that drivers allow
at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the
center of the steering wheel and their
chest.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating air bag, take the
following precautions:
[ Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the
rear as possible maintaining the
ability to control the vehicle.
[ Adjust the front passenger seat as far
to the rear as possible.
[ Hold the steering wheel by the rim
with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3
o’clock positions to minimize the risk
of injuries to your hands and arms.
[ NEVER place anything or anyone
between you and the air bag.
[ Do not allow the front passenger to
place feet or legs on the dashboard
to minimize the risk of leg injuries.

The side air bags and front center side
air bag are designed to deploy during
certain side impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the front center side air bag,
side and/or curtain air bags and pre-
tensioners on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected.
The side air bags and front center side air
bag are not designed to deploy in all side
impact or rollover situations.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating side air bag
and front center side air bag, take the
following precautions:
[ Seat belts must be worn at all times
to help keep occupants positioned
properly.
[ Do not allow passengers to lean their
heads or bodies onto doors, put their
arms on the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place objects
between the doors and seats.
[ Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to
minimize the risk of injuries to your
hands and arms.
[ Do not use any accessory seat
covers. This could reduce or prevent
the effectiveness of the system.
[ Do not hang objects over the airbags.
In an accident it may cause vehicle
damage or personal injury especially
when air bag is inflated.[ Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag and
yourself. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air bag
inflates such as the door, side door
glass, front and rear pillar.
[ Do not place any objects between
the door and the seat. They may
become dangerous projectiles if the
side air bag inflates.
[ Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side air bags.
[ Do not cause impact to the doors
when the Start/Stop button is in the
ON or START position as this may
cause the side air bags to inflate.
[ If the seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the system be serviced by
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
