Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with
driver's and front passenger's pre-
tensioner seat belts. The purpose of the
pre-tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occupant's
body 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.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, 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.

WARNING:
o If the retractor is not in the Auto-
matic Locking mode, the child re-
straint can move when your vehicle
turns or stops suddenly. A child can
be seriously injured or killed if the
child restraint is not properly an-
chored to the car, including setting
the retractor to the Automatic Lock-
ing mode.
o Do not install any child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger seat.
Should an accident occur and cause
the passenger side airbag to deploy,
it could severely injure or kill an
infant or child seated in an infant or
child seat. Therefore, only use a child
restraint system in the rear seat of
your vehicle.
o Before installing Child Restraint Sys-
tem to vehicles fitted with Curtain
Airbags, always refer to safety no-
tices for Curtain Airbag systems on
this manual. Whenever installing child
restraints, use only approved devices
and refer to "Child Restraint System"
to ensure correct installation and oc-
cupant protection is maximized.
