FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
1- 19
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's
pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated
in certain frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be activated alone
or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts are ac-
tivated, a loud noise may be heard and fine
dust, which may appear to be smoke, may
be visible in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating conditions
and are not hazardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may
cause skin irritation and should not be
breathed for prolonged periods. Wash your
hands and face thoroughly after an acci-
dent in which the pre-tensioner seat belts
were activated.
CAUTION:
o The control module that activates the SRS
airbag controls the pre-tensioner seat belt
also.
o If there is some function in the pre-
tensioner seat belt circuit, the warning
light will illuminate even if there is no
malfunction in the SRS airbag system. If
the SRS airbag warning light does not
illuminate or illuminates continuously
when the ignition key is turned to "ON", or
if it remains illuminated after blinking for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it illumi-
nates while the vehicle is being driven,

mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light
2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly

WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the
correct position.
ly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into posi-
tion. In certain frontal collisions, the pre-tensioner
will activate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
please have an authorized Hyundai dealer
inspect the pre-tensioner seat belts and
SRS airbag system as soon as possible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pre-
tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All
seat belts, of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been worn during
a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during activa-
tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes after
they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace the
pre-tensioner seat belts yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-
tensioner seat belt system in any manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed
the warnings to not strike, modify, in-
spect, replace, service or repair the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadvertent acti-
vation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driving or
riding in a motor vehicle.
