SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free 
and there are no parts you can safely 
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag 
warning light does not illuminate when 
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the 
ON position, or continuously remains 
on, we recommend that the system be 
immediately inspected by an authorized 
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Any work on the SRS system, such as 
removing, installing, repairing, or any 
work on the steering wheel, the front 
passenger’s panel, front seats and roof 
rails be performed by an authorized 
retailer of Genesis Branded products. 
Improper handling of the SRS system 
may result in serious personal injury. WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death take the following precautions:
• Do not attempt to modify or 
disconnect the SRS components or 
wiring, including the addition of any 
kind of badges to the pad covers or 
modifications to the body structure.
• Do not place objects over or near 
the air bag modules on the steering 
wheel, instrument panel, and the 
front passenger’s panel above the 
glove box.
• Clean the air bag pad covers with 
a soft cloth moistened with plain 
water. Solvents or cleaners could 
adversely affect the air bag covers 
and proper deployment of the 
system.
• Always have inflated air bags 
replaced by an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products.
• If components of the air bag system 
must be discarded, or if the vehicle 
must be scrapped, certain safety 
precautions must be observed. 
Consult an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products for the 
necessary information. Failure to 
follow these precautions could 
increase the risk of personal injury.
