Pre-active Safety Seat (PSS) (if
equipped)
When Pre-active Safety Seat detects
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.
WARNING
Pre-active Safety Seat is a
supplementary device. The driver
should keep their eyes on the road and
verify that there are no obstructions
ahead. If there are no passengers or the
seatbelts are not fastened, the system
will not function.
System operation

[Pre-active Safety Seat limits
passenger’s movement and helps
decrease the chance of injury by
raising the seatback right before
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.
System pause
If the passenger adjusts the seat
manually, the system stops immediately.
However, it restarts to operate after 5
seconds when the hazardous situation
continues.

not operate properly, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.

SEAT BELTS
This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describes
some of the things not to do when using
seat belts.
Seat Belt Safety Precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make
sure all passengers have fastened their
seat belts before starting any trip. Air
bags are designed to supplement the
seat belt as an additional safety device,
but they are not a substitute. Most states
require all occupants of a vehicle to wear
seat belts.
WARNING
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehicle is
moving. Take the following precautions
when adjusting and wearing seat belts:

[Children under the age of 13 should
be properly restrained in the rear
seats.

[Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat, unless the
air bag is deactivated. If a child is
seated move the seat as far back as
possible. And the child must always
be restrained in the seat properly.

[NEVER allow an infant or child to be
carried on an occupant’s lap.

[NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is moving.

[Do not allow children to share a seat
or seat belt.

[Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back.
[Never wear a seat belt over fragile
objects. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt can damage it.

[Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt will not
protect you properly in an accident.

[Do not use a seat belt if the webbing
or hardware is damaged.

[Do not latch the seat belt into the
buckles of other seats.

[NEVER unfasten the seat belt
while driving. This may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

[Make sure there is nothing in the
buckle interfering with the seat
belt latch mechanism, because any
materials in the buckle can cause the
seat belt not to be fastened securely.

[No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
WARNING
Damaged seat belts and seat belt
assemblies will not operate properly.
Always replace:

[Frayed, contaminated, or damaged
webbing.

[Damaged hardware.

[The entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in an accident, even
if damage to webbing or assembly is
not apparent.

increase the risk of serious injury
in an accident. Take the following
precautions when adjusting the seat
belt:

[Position the lap portion of the seat

Pre-tensioner seat belt
ORS031103
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s and
front passenger’s and rear passengers
Pre-tensioner Seat Belts (Retractor
Pre-tensioner). The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure the seat belts
fit tightly against the occupant’s body
in certain frontal or side collision(s).
The pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in crashes where the frontal
or side collision(s) is severe enough,
together with the air bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position.
In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the seat
belt into tighter contact against the
occupant’s body.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger’s seat belt
when the pre-tensioner system activates,
the load limiter inside the retractor
pre-tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.

3-44
Safety System
WARNING

[Always wear your seat belt and sit
properly in your seat.

[Do not use the seat belt if it is loose
or twisted. A loose or twisted seat

buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to function
improperly.

[Always replace your pre-tensioners
after activation or an accident.

[NEVER inspect, service, repair
or replace the pre-tensioners by
yourself. Have the pre-tensioners
inspected, serviced, repaired or
replaced by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.

smoke, may be visible in the passenger
compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not
hazardous.

[Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust

between your breasts and away from
your neck. Place the lap belt below your
belly so that it fits SNUGLY across your
hips and pelvic bone, under the rounded
part of the belly.

vulnerable to any impacts on the
abdomen during an abrupt stop or
accident. If you are in an accident
while pregnant, consult your doctor.

death to an unborn child during an
accident, pregnant women should
NEVER place the lap portion of the
seat belt above or over the area of
the abdomen where the unborn child
is located.

Seat belt use and children
,QIDQWDQGVPDOOFKLOGUHQ
All 50 states have child restraint laws
which require children to travel in
approved child restraint devices,
including booster seats. The age at
which seat belts can be used instead
of child restraints differs among states,
so you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your state, and where
you are travelling. Infant and child
restraints must be properly placed
and installed in a rear seat. For more
information refer to the “Child Restraint
Systems” section in this chapter.
WARNING
ALWAYS properly restrain infants and
small children in a Child Restraint
System appropriate for the child’s
height and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to a child and other passengers,
NEVER hold a child in your lap or arms
when the vehicle is moving. The violent
forces created during an accident will
tear the child from your arms and throw
the child against the interior of the
vehicle.
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a child restraint system that meets
the requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying
any child restraint system, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
FMVSS 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child’s height and
weight. Check the label on the child
restraint for this information. Refer to the
“Child Restraint Systems” section in this
chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 who are too large
for a booster seat should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. A seat belt should lie
across the upper thighs and be snug
across the shoulder and chest to
restrain the child safely. Check belt fit
periodically. A child’s squirming could
put the belt out of position. In the event
of an accident, children are afforded the
best safety restrained by a proper Child
Restraint System in the rear seats.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child must
be securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need to
be returned to an appropriate booster
seat in the rear seat.
WARNING

[Always make sure larger children’s
seat belts are worn and properly
adjusted.

[NEVER allow the shoulder belt to
contact the child’s neck or face.

[Do not allow more than one child to
use a single seat belt.
