Safety system

Airbags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility poles
or trees, where the point of impact is
concentrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle structure.
SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and
there are no parts you can safely service
by yourself. If the SRS airbag warning
light does not illuminate when the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON position, or
continuously remains on, have the
system immediately inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
Have 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 injury.
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
airbag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger's panel above the glove box.
• Clean the airbag pad covers with a soft
cloth moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the airbag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
• Always have inflated airbags replaced
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
• If components of the airbag 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.
