 Information
The information provided may differ 
depending on which functions are 
applicable to your vehicle.
Safety Precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting 
in a safe and comfortable position plays 
an important role for the safety of the 
driver an passengers, along with seat 
belts and air bags when in an accident.
 WARNING
Do not use a cushion that reduces 
friction between the seat and the 
passenger. The passenger’s hips may 
slide under the lap portion of the seat 
belt during an accident or a sudden 
stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could 
result because the seat belt cannot 
operate properly.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk 
of being injured by an inflating air bag. 
Sitting too close to an air bag greatly 
increases the risk of injury in the event 
the air bag inflates.
The National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) recommends 
that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 
cm) between the center of the steering 
wheel and their chest.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death from an inflating air bag, take the 
following precautions:
• Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the 
rear as possible maintaining the 
ability to control the vehicle.
• Adjust the front passenger seat as far 
to the rear as possible.
• Hold the steering wheel by the rim 
with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3 
o’clock positions to minimize the risk 
of injuries to your hands and arms.
• NEVER place anything or anyone 
between you and the air bag.
• Do not allow the front passenger to 
place feet or legs on the dashboard 
to minimize the risk of leg injuries.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before 
starting any trip. At all times, passengers 
should sit upright and be properly 
restrained. Infants and small children 
must be restrained in appropriate Child 
Restraint Systems. Children who have 
outgrown a booster seat and adults must 
be restrained using the seat belts.
 WARNING
Take the following precautions when 
adjusting your seat belt:
• NEVER use one seat belt for more 
than one occupant.
• Always position the seatback upright 
with the lap portion of the seat belt 
snug and low across the hips.
• NEVER allow children or small infants 
to ride on a passenger’s lap.
• Do not route the seat belt across your 
neck, across sharp edges, or reroute 
the shoulder strap away from your 
body.
• Do not allow the seat belt to become 
caught or jammed.

The side air bags and front center air bag 
are designed to deploy during certain 
side impact collisions, depending on the 
crash severity.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover 
sensor the front center air bag, side and/
or curtain air bags and pre-tensioners on 
both sides of the vehicle may deploy if a 
rollover or possible rollover is detected.
The side air bags and front center air bag 
are not designed to deploy in all side 
impact or rollover situations.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death from an inflating side air bag and 
front center air bag, take the following 
precautions:
• Seat belts must be worn at all times 
to help keep occupants positioned 
properly.
• 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.
• Hold the steering wheel at the 9 
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to 
minimize the risk of injuries to your 
hands and arms.
• Do not use any accessory seat 
covers. This could reduce or prevent 
the effectiveness of the system.
• Do not hang other objects except 
clothes. In an accident it may cause 
vehicle damage or personal injury 
especially when air bag is inflated.
• Do not place any objects over the 
air bag or between the air bag and 
yourself. Also, do not attach any 
objects around the area the air bag 
inflates such as the door, side door 
glass, front and rear pillar.
• Do not place any objects between 
the door and the seat. They may 
become dangerous projectiles if the 
side air bag inflates.
• Do not install any accessories on the 
side or near the side air bags.
• Do not cause impact to the doors 
when the Engine Start/Stop button 
is in the ON or START position as this 
may cause the side air bags to inflate.
• If the seat or seat cover is damaged, 
have the system be serviced by 
an authorized retailer of Genesis 
Branded products.

• In addition to inflating in serious side 
collisions, vehicles equipped with a 
rollover sensor, side and/or curtain 
air bags and front center air bag will 
inflate if the sensing system detects a 
rollover.
When a rollover is detected, curtain 
air bags will remain inflated longer to 
help provide protection from ejection, 
especially when used in conjunction 
with the seat belts. (if equipped with a 
rollover sensor)
• To help provide protection, the air 
bags must inflate rapidly. The speed 
of air bag inflation is a consequence 
of extremely short time in which 
to inflate the air bag between the 
occupant and the vehicle structures 
before the occupant impacts those 
structures. This speed of inflation 
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries and is thus a 
necessary part of air bag design.
However, the rapid air bag inflation 
can also cause injuries which can 
include facial abrasions, bruises and 
broken bones because the inflation 
speed also causes the air bags to 
expand with a great deal of force.
• There are even circumstances under 
which contact with the air bag can 
cause fatal injuries, especially if the 
occupant is positioned excessively 
close to the air bag.
You can take steps to help reduce the 
risk of being injured by an inflating air 
bag. The greatest risk is sitting too close 
to the air bag. An air bag needs about 10 
inches (25 cm) of space to inflate. NHTSA 
recommends that drivers allow at least 
10 inches (25 cm) between the center of 
the steering wheel and the chest.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death from an inflating air bag, take the 
following precautions:
• NEVER place a child restraint in the 
front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain children 
under age 13 in the rear seats of the 
vehicle.
• Adjust the front passenger’s and 
driver’s seats as far to the rear as 
possible while allowing you to 
maintain full control of the vehicle.
• Hold the steering wheel with 
hands at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock 
positions.
• NEVER place anything or anyone 
between the air bag and the seat 
occupant.
• Do not allow the front passenger 
to place their feet or legs on the 
dashboard.

If your temperature gauge indicates 
overheating, you experience a loss of 
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, 
the engine may be overheating. If this 
happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it 
is safe to do so.
2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and set the 
parking brake. If the air conditioning is 
ON, turn it OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out under 
the vehicle or steam is coming out 
from the hood, stop the engine. Do 
not open the hood until the coolant 
has stopped running or the steaming 
has stopped. If there is no visible 
loss of engine coolant and no steam, 
leave the engine running and check 
to be sure the engine cooling fan is 
operating. If the fan is not running, 
turn the engine off.
 WARNING
While the engine is running, keep hands, clothing and tools 
away from the moving parts 
such as the cooling fan and 
drive belt to prevent serious 
injury.
4. Check for coolant leaking from the 
radiator, hoses or under the vehicle. (If 
the air conditioning had been in use, it 
is normal for cold water to be draining 
from it when you stop.)
5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop 
the engine immediately and call the 
nearest authorized retailer of Genesis 
Branded products for assistance.
 WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap,  coolant cap or the drain plug 
while the engine and radiator 
are hot.Hot coolant and steam may blow out 
under pressure, causing serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until the 
engine cools down. Use extreme care 
when removing the radiant cap or 
coolant cap. Wrap a thick towel around 
it, and turn it counterclockwise slowly 
to the first stop. Step back while the 
pressure is released from the cooling 
system. When you are sure all the 
pressure has been released, press down 
on the cap, using a thick towel, and 
continue turning counterclockwise to 
remove it.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the 
overheating, wait until the engine 
temperature has returned to normal. 
Then, if coolant has been lost, 
carefully add coolant to the reservoir 
to bring the fluid level in the reservoir 
up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert 
for further signs of overheating. If 
overheating happens again, call an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products for assistance.
 CAUTION
• Serious loss of coolant indicates a 
leak in the cooling system and should 
be checked as soon as possible by 
an authorized retailer of Genesis 
Branded products.
• When the engine overheats from 
low engine coolant, suddenly 
adding engine coolant may cause 
cracks in the engine. To prevent 
damage, add engine coolant slowly 
in small quantities. It may require 
several refilling cycles to properly 
fill the engine cooling system. If 
necessary, an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products should be 
consulted to perform this task. 
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
