trunk when closed.
1. Pull the armrest down.
2. Pull the cover down while pushing the
release lever down.
NOTICE

[Be careful when loading cargo
through the rear passenger seats
to prevent damage to the vehicle
interior.

[When both the armrest and the
panel, which located between the
rear seatback and the trunk for long-
item storage, are folded down, put
back the panel first, before folding
back the arm rest. If not, the panel
knobs and the armrest knobs may
interfere with each other and get
damaged.
CAUTION

[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
vehicle 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.
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 place
objects in the rear seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and may hit
the front seat occupants in a collision.

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.

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.
