to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and may hit
the front seat occupants in a collision.

Pre-active Safety Seat (PSS) (if
equipped)
When Pre-active Safety Seat detects
a collision or hazardous situation, it
provides safety by repositioning the seat
as follows:

[Seatback (power passenger seat and
rear seat): Raises the seatback when
reclined.

[Seat cushion (power rear seat): If
the cushion height is low, raises the
cushion.
WARNING
Pre-active Safety Seat is a
supplementary device. The driver
should keep their eyes on the road and
verify that there are no obstructions
ahead. If there are no passengers or the
seatbelts are not fastened, the system
will not function.
System operation

[Pre-active Safety Seat limits
passenger’s movement and helps
decrease the chance of injury by
raising the seatback right before
collision to tighten the seatbelt.
The system may operate under the
following situations:
- The brake pedal was depressed
abruptly.
- The vehicle is difficult to control.
- Collision risk is considered high by
the vehicle distance sensor.
[Pre-active Safety Seat helps prevent
the passenger from leaning forward
or to the side by raising the seatback
during sudden braking or rapid
turning to tighten the seatbelt.
The system may operate under the
following situations:
- The upper body is leaned forward
due to sudden braking.
- The upper body is leaned to the side
due to rapid turning.
- Driving on a slippery icy road.
- There is high risk of a rollover.
System pause
If the passenger adjusts the seat
manually, the system stops immediately.
However, it restarts to operate after 5
seconds when the hazardous situation
continues.
System malfunction
If the Pre-active Safety Seat system does
not operate properly, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.

Safety System
Seat Warmers
Seat warmers are provided to warm the
seats during cold weather.
During mild weather or under conditions
where the operation of the seat warmer
is not needed, keep the seat warmers
OFF.
WARNING
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.
People who cannot detect temperature
change or pain to the skin should
use extreme caution, especially the
following types of passengers:

[Infants, children, elderly or disabled
persons, or hospital outpatients.

[People with sensitive skin or who
burn easily.

[Fatigued individuals.

[Intoxicated individuals.

[People taking medication that can
cause drowsiness or sleepiness.
WARNING
NEVER place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat when the
seat warmer is in operation, such as a
blanket or seat cushion. This may cause
the seat warmer to overheat, causing a
burn or damage to the seat.
NOTICE
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.

SEAT BELTS
This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describes
some of the things not to do when using
seat belts.
Seat Belt Safety Precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make
sure all passengers have fastened their
seat belts before starting any trip. Air
bags are designed to supplement the
seat belt as an additional safety device,
but they are not a substitute. Most states
require all occupants of a vehicle to wear
seat belts.
WARNING
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehicle is
moving. Take the following precautions
when adjusting and wearing seat belts:

[Children under the age of 13 should
be properly restrained in the rear
seats.

[Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat, unless the
air bag is deactivated. If a child is
seated move the seat as far back as
possible. And the child must always
be restrained in the seat properly.

[NEVER allow an infant or child to be
carried on an occupant’s lap.

[NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is moving.

[Do not allow children to share a seat
or seat belt.

[Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back.
[Never wear a seat belt over fragile
objects. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt can damage it.

[Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt will not
protect you properly in an accident.

[Do not use a seat belt if the webbing
or hardware is damaged.

[Do not latch the seat belt into the
buckles of other seats.

[NEVER unfasten the seat belt
while driving. This may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

[Make sure there is nothing in the
buckle interfering with the seat
belt latch mechanism, because any
materials in the buckle can cause the
seat belt not to be fastened securely.

[No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
WARNING
Damaged seat belts and seat belt
assemblies will not operate properly.
Always replace:

[Frayed, contaminated, or damaged
webbing.

[Damaged hardware.

[The entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in an accident, even
if damage to webbing or assembly is
not apparent.

Seat Belt Restraint System
WARNING
Improperly positioned seat belts may
increase the risk of serious injury
in an accident. Take the following
precautions when adjusting the seat
belt:

[Position the lap portion of the seat
belt as low as possible across your
hips, not on your waist, so that it fits
snugly.

[Position one arm under the shoulder
belt and the other over the belt, as
shown in the illustration.

[Always position the shoulder belt
anchor into the locked position at the
appropriate height.

[NEVER position the shoulder belt

To fasten your seat belt:
Pull it out of the retractor and insert the
metal tab M into the buckle N. There will

a slow, easy motion, the belt will extend
and move with you.
If there is a sudden stop or impact, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.
