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.
