Do not install a Child Restraint
System on 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 rearward-facing or
forward-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 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.
