Safety system of your vehicle
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module) continually
monitors all SRS components while
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require air
bag deployment or pre-tensioner seat
belt deployment.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplement Restraint
System) air bag warning light on the
instrument panel displays the air bag
symbol depicted in the illustration.
The system checks the air bag elec-
trical system for malfunctions. The
light indicates that there is a potential
malfunction with your air bag system,
which could include your side and
curtain air bags used for rollover pro-
tection.
If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properly
during an accident increasing
the risk of serious injury or
death.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-
functioning:
The light does not turn on for approximately six seconds
when the engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.
The light stays on after illumi- nating for approximately six
seconds.
The light comes on while the vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the engine is running.
Have an authorized Dealer of
Genesis Brand Products
inspect the SRS as soon as
possible if any of these condi-
tions occur.

What to do in an emergency
Information
If any of the below happens, have the
system checked by an authorized
Dealer of Genesis Brand Products.
1. The Low Tire Pressure Telltale/TPMS Malfunction Indicator does
not illuminate for 3 seconds when
the Engine Start/Stop button is
turned to the ON position or engine
is running.
2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator remains illuminated after blinking
for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low Tire Pressure Position Telltale remains illuminated.

Telltale
Low Tire
Pressure LCD
Display with
Position
Indicator
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and the warning message is
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The LCD posi-
tion indicator will indicate which tire
is significantly under-inflated by illu-
minating the corresponding position
light.
If any of your tire pressures are indi-
cated as being low, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering, and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver's side cen-
ter pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station
or if the tire cannot hold the newly
added air, replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire.
The Low Tire Pressure LCD position
indicator will remain on and the
TPMS Malfunction Indicator may
blink for one minute and then remain
illuminated until you have the low
pressure tire repaired and replaced
on the vehicle.
