child seat GENESIS G90 2023 Owner's Manual

3-58
Safety System
The vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Air Bag System for the
driver’s seat and front passenger’s seats.
The front air bags are designed to
supplement the three-point seat belts.
For these air bags to provide protection,
the seat belts must be worn at all times
when driving.
You can be severely injured or killed
in an accident if you are not wearing
a seat belt. Air bags are designed to
supplement seat belts, but do not
replace them. Also, air bags are not
designed to deploy in every collision. In
some accidents, the seat belts are the
only restraint protecting you.
WARNING
AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts and Child
Restraint Systems - every trip, every
time, everyone! Even with air bags, you
can be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if you are improperly belted or
not wearing your seat belt when the air
bag inflates.
NEVER place a child in any Child
Restraint System or booster seat in the
front passenger seat, unless the air bag
is deactivated.
An inflating air bag could forcefully
strike the infant or child causing serious
or fatal injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age
13 in the back seat. It is the safest place
for children of any age to ride. If a child
age 13 or older must be seated in the
front seat, he or she must be properly
belted and the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.All occupants should sit upright with
the seatback in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor
until the vehicle is parked and the
vehicle is turned off. If an occupant is
out of position during an accident, the
rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully
contact the occupant causing serious or
fatal injuries.
You and your passengers should never
sit or lean unnecessarily close to the air
bags or lean against the door or center
console.
Move your seat as far back as possible
from front air bags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.

Safety System
Curtain air bags
ORS031066
ORS031076
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in
certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity.For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the 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 curtain air bags 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 curtain air bag,
take the following precautions:

[All seat occupants must wear
seat belts at all times to help keep
occupants positioned properly.

[Properly secure Child Restraint
System as far away from the door as
possible.

[Do not place any objects over the air
bag. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the air bag inflates
such as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar, roof side rail.

[Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or breakable
objects.
In an accident, it may cause vehicle
damage or personal injury.

[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.

[Do not attempt to open or repair
the side curtain air bags yourself.
If necessary, have the air back be
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.

03
Noise and smoke from inflating air
bag
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and may produce smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the air bag inflator. After the
air bag inflates, you may feel substantial
discomfort in breathing because of the
contact of your chest with both the seat
belt and the air bag, as well as from
breathing the smoke and powder. The
powder may aggravate asthma for some
people. If you experience breathing
problems after an air bag deployment,
seek medical attention immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to
the skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is
the case, wash and rinse with cold water
immediately and seek medical attention
if the symptoms persist.
Occupant Classification System
(OCS)
ORS032059N
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Occupant Classification System (OCS) in
the front passenger’s seat.
Main components of the Occupant
Classification System

[A detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.

[Electronic system to determine
whether the passenger air bag
systems should be activated or
deactivated.

[An indicator light located on the
overhead console which illuminates
the words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicating the front passenger air bag
system is deactivated.

[The overhead console air bag
indicator light is interconnected with
the OCS.
The OCS is designed to help detect
the presence of a properly-seated
front passenger and determine if the
passenger’s front air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
The purpose is to help reduce the risk
of injury or death from an inflating air
bag to certain front passenger seat
occupants, such as children, by requiring
the air bag to be automatically turned
OFF.

3-68
Safety System
For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, the occupant classification sensor
can detect it and cause the air bag to
turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing the
seat belt properly, should not cause the
passenger air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. For smaller adults it may turn
off. However, if the occupant does not
sit in the seat properly (for example, by
not sitting upright, by sitting on the edge
of the seat, or by otherwise being out of
position), this could cause the sensor to
turn the air bag OFF.
You will find the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF” indicator overhead console panel.
This system detects the conditions 1-4
in the following table and activates or
deactivates the front passenger air bag
based on these conditions.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated properly and
wearing the seat belt properly for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the seat belt.The OCS may not function properly if the
passenger takes actions which can affect
the classification system. These include:

[Failing to sit in an upright position.

[Leaning against the door or center
console.

[Sitting towards the sides of the front
of the seat.

[Putting their legs on the dashboard or
resting them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.

[Wearing the seat belt improperly.

[Reclining the seatback.

[Wearing a thick clothes like ski wear
or hip protection wear.

[Putting an additional thick cushion on
the seat.

[Putting electrical devices (for
example, notebook, satellite radio) on
the seat with inverter charging.

physique and posture.
*2 : Do not allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. When a larger child who has
outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may
recognize him/her as an adult depending upon his/her physique or sitting position.
*3 : Never install a child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
*4 : The PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator may turn on or off when a child above 12
months to 12 years old (with or without child restraint system) sits in the front passenger
seat. This is a normal condition.

03
Do Not Install a Child Restraint in the
Front Passenger’s Seat
OHI039193N
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat.
An inflating air bag can forcefully strike a
child or child restraint resulting in serious
or fatal injury.
WARNING

[NEVER place a rear-facing or front-
facing child restraint in the front
passenger’s seat of the vehicle.

[An inflating frontal air bag could
forcefully strike a child resulting in
serious injury or death.

[Always properly restrain children in
an appropriate child restraint in the
rear seat of the vehicle.
Why Didn’t My Air Bag Go Off In
a Collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third
collisions in multiple impact accidents,
as well as low speed impacts. Damage to
the vehicle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should have
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and causing
serious injury or death:

[Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bags
or sensors are installed.

[Do not perform maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors. If the
location or angle of the sensors is
altered, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or may not
deploy when they should.

[Do not install bumper guards or
replace the bumper with a non-
genuine Genesis part. This may
adversely affect the collision and air
bag deployment performance.

[Press the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF or ACC position and wait for
3 minutes, when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent air bag
deployment.

[Have all air bag repairs performed
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
