Head Restraints
The vehicle's front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly
they are designed to help protect
passengers from whiplash and other
neck and spinal injuries during an
accident, especially in a rear impact
collision.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your head
restraints:
Always properly adjust the head restraints for all passen-
gers BEFORE starting the
vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with the head restraints
removed or reversed.
WARNING
Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from being thrown
about the vehicle in a collision
and causing injury to the vehicle
occupants. Do not p lace objects
in the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly secured and
may hit the front seat occupants
in a collision.
WARNING
Make sure the engine is off, the vehicle is shifted to P
(Park) and the parking brake
is applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. The vehi-
cle may move if the shift lever
is inadvertently moved to
another position.
When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats,
ensure the cargo is properly
secured to prevent it from
moving while driving.

performance to be reduced. To prevent damage to the seat
cooler and seats:

should not be inhaled for prolonged
periods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in
which the pre-tensioner seat belts
were activated.

installing an audio system to the
center console or welding/painting

retailer of Genesis Branded prod-
ucts. The air bag warning light illu-
minates, if there is a malfunction
