WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating curtain airbag,
take the following precautions:
• All seat occupants must wear seat belts
at all times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
• Properly secure Child Restraint System
as far away from the door as possible.
• Do not place any objects over the
airbag. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the airbag inflates such
as the door, side door glass, front and
rear pillar, roof side rail.
• Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or breakable
objects near airbag locations.
In an accident, it may cause vehicle
damage or personal injury.
• 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.
• Do not open or repair the side curtain
airbags yourself. If necessary, have the
airbag inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
How does the airbags system
operate?
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module) continually
monitors all SRS components while the
Engine Start/Stop button is ON to
determine if a crash impact is severe
enough to require airbag deployment or
pretensioner seat belt deployment.
During a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors detect the vehicle's
rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the SRSCM
inflates the front airbags with the force
needed.
The front airbags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding to
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. When
needed, the side airbags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact or
rollover by supporting the side upper
body area.
• Airbags are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON or START
position, and it may be activated within
3 minutes after the engine is turned off.
• Airbags inflate in the event of certain
frontal or side collisions to help protect
the occupants from serious physical
injury.
• There is no single speed at which the
airbags will inflate. Generally, airbags
are designed to inflate based upon the
severity of a collision and its direction.
Airbag deployment also depends on a
number of other factors including
vehicle speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle impacts
during a collision. The determining
factors are not limited to those
mentioned above.
