Securing a Child Restraint System
with the “LATCH Anchors System”
To install a LATCH-compatible Child
Restraint System in either of the rear
outboard seating positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away from
the lower anchors.
2. Move any other objects away from
the anchors that could prevent a
secure connection between the
Child Restraint System and the lower
anchors.
3. Place the Child Restraint System on
the vehicle seat, then attach the seat
to the lower anchors according to the
instructions provided by the Child
Restraint System manufacturer.
4. Follow the instructions of the Child
Restraint System’s manufacturer for
proper installation and connection of
the lower attachments on the Child
Restraint System to the lower anchors.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using the LATCH system:

[Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your Child
Restraint System.

[To prevent the child from reaching
and taking hold of unretracted
seat belts, buckle all unused rear
seat belts and retract the seat belt
webbing behind the child. Children
can be strangled if a shoulder belt
becomes wrapped around their neck
and the seat belt tightens.

[NEVER attach more than one Child
Restraint System to a single anchor.
This could cause the anchor or
attachment to come loose or break.

[Always have the LATCH system
inspected by your authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products after an
accident. An accident can damage
the LATCH system and may not
properly secure the Child Restraint
System.
NOTICE
The recommended weight for the
LATCH system is under 65 lb. (30 kg).
How to determine an appropriate child
restraint weight: Child weight + Child
restraint weight < 65 lb. (30kg)
Securing a Child Restraint System

OJWEV031088R
First secure the child restraint with
the LATCH lower anchors or the seat
belt. If the child restraint manufacturer
recommends that the top tether strap
be attached, attach and tighten the
top tether strap to the top tether strap
anchor.
Child restraint hook holders are located
on the rear of the seatbacks.

Safety System
OJWEV031023
To install the tether anchor:
1. Route the Child Restraint System
top-tether strap over the seatback.
Route the tether strap under the
head restraint and between the head
restraint posts, or route the tether
strap over the top of the vehicle
seatback. Make sure the strap is not
twisted.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to
the tether anchor, then tighten the
top-tether strap according to the
instructions of your Child Restraint
System’s manufacturer to firmly
attach the Child Restraint System to
the seat.
3. Check that the Child Restraint System
is securely attached to the seat by
pushing and pulling the seat forward-
and-back and side-to-side.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
installing the tether strap:

[Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your Child
Restraint System.

[NEVER attach more than one Child
Restraint System to a single tether
anchor. This could cause the anchor
or attachment to come loose or
break.
[Do not attach the tether strap to
anything other than the correct
top-tether anchor. It may not work
properly if attached to something
else.

[Child Restraint System anchors are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
Child Restraint System.
Do not use them for adult seat belts,
harnesses, or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle.
Securing a Child Restraint System
with a lap/shoulder belt
When not using the LATCH system, all
Child Restraint Systems must be secured
to a rear seat with the lap part of a lap/
shoulder belt.
WARNING
ALWAYS place a rearward-facing Child
Restraint System in the rear seat of the
vehicle.
Placing a rearward-facing child restraint
in the front seat can result in serious
injury or death if the Child Restraint
System is struck by an inflating air bag.

Automatic locking mode
Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and
only lock under extreme or emergency
conditions (emergency locking mode),
you must manually pull the seat belt all
the way out to shift the retractor to the
"Automatic Locking" mode to secure a
Child Restraint System.
The "Automatic Locking" mode will help
prevent the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle from causing the
seat belt to loosen and compromise
the Child Restraint System. To secure a
Child Restraint System, use the following
procedure.
To install a Child Restraint System on the
rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the Child Restraint System on a
rear seat and route the lap/shoulder
belt around or through the Child
Restraint System, following the Child
Restraint System manufacturer’s
instructions. Make sure the seat belt
webbing is not twisted.
Information
When using the rear center seat belt, you
should also refer to the "Rear Seat Belt –
Passenger's 3-point system" section in this
chapter.
ORG3EV031038
2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch
into the buckle. Listen for the distinct
“click” sound.
Information
Position the release button so that it is easy
to access in case of an emergency.
OHI038147
3. Pull the shoulder portion of the
seat belt all the way out. When the
shoulder portion of the seat belt
is fully extended, it will shift the
retractor to the "Automatic Locking"
(child restraint) mode.

3-46
Safety System
OHI038148
4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of
the seat belt to retract and listen for
an audible "clicking" or "ratcheting"
sound. This indicates that the retractor
is in the "Automatic Locking" mode.
If no distinct sound is heard, repeat
steps 3 and 4.
5. Remove as much slack from the belt
as possible by pushing down on the
Child Restraint System while feeding
the shoulder belt back into the
retractor.
6. Push and pull on the Child Restraint
System to confirm that the seat belt
is holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the seat belt and repeat steps
2 through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in
the "Automatic Locking" mode by
attempting to pull more of the seat
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot,
the retractor is in the "Automatic
Locking" mode.
If your Child Restraint System
manufacturer instructs or recommends
you to use a tether anchor with the lap/
shoulder belt, refer to the previous pages
for more information.
Information
When the seat belt is allowed to retract to
its fully stowed position, the retractor will
automatically switch from the “Automatic
Locking” mode to the emergency lock
mode for normal adult usage.
WARNING
If the retractor is not in the “Automatic
Locking” mode, the child restraint
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops suddenly. A child can be seriously
injured or killed if the child restraint
is not properly anchored in the car,
including manually pulling the seat belt
all the way out to shift the retractor to
the “Automatic Locking” mode.
To remove the Child Restraint System,
press the release button on the buckle
and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of
the Child Restraint System and allow the
seat belt to retract fully.
WARNING
If a child restraint is installed in the
second row center seat, move the
second row seat far back as possible, to
minimize contact with the front center
air bag.

Safety System
This 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.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends
that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25
cm) between the center of the steering
wheel and the chest.

Where are the Air Bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bags
„Driver’s front air bag
OJWEV031026
„Driver’s knee air bag
OJWEV031027
„Passenger’s front air bag
OJWEV031028
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver
and passenger seating positions.The SRS consists of air bags which are
located in the center of the steering
wheel, in the driver’s side lower crash
pad below the steering wheel, and the
passenger’s side front panel pad above
the glove box.
The air bags are labeled with the letters
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle’s driver and front passengers with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt system alone in case of a
frontal impact of sufficient severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors determine
if the driver and front passenger's
seat belts are fastened. These sensors
provide the ability to control the SRS
deployment based on whether or not the
seat belts are fastened, and how severe
the impact is.The advanced SRS offers
the ability to control the air bag inflation
within two levels. A first stage level is
provided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.According to the
impact severity, and seat belt usage, the
SRS Control Module(SRSCM) controls
the air bag inflation. Failure to properly
wear seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.

Safety System
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from inflating front air bags, take
the following precautions:

[Seat belts must be worn at all times
to help keep occupants positioned
properly.

[Move your seat as far back as
possible from front air bags, while
still maintaining control of the
vehicle.

[Never lean against the door or center
console.

[Do not allow the front passenger
to place their feet or legs on the

[No objects (such as crash pad
cover, mobile phone holder, cup
holder, perfume or stickers) should
be placed over or near the air bag
modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, windshield glass,
and the front passenger’s panel
above the glove box. Such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the air
bags to deploy.

[Do not attach any objects on the
front windshield and inside mirror.

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 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.
