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.

verify that there are no obstructions
ahead. If there are no passengers or the
seatbelts are not fastened, the system
will not function.

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.

seconds when the hazardous situation
continues.

If the Pre-active Safety Seat system does
not operate properly, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
