!
o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash your hands
and face thoroughly after an acci-
dent in which the pre-tensioner
seat belts were activated.
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates
the SRS airbag is connected with
pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS
airbag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate
for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has been turned to
the "ON" position, and then it
should turn off.
o If pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning
light will illuminate even if there is
no malfunction of the SRS airbag.
!
If the SRS airbag warning light
does not illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON", or if it
blinks for a second and remains
illuminated after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, please have an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect
the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS
airbag system as soon as pos-
sible.
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to
operate only one time. After acti-
vation, pre-tensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat belts, of
any type, should always be re-
placed after they have been worn
during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
bly mechanisms become hot dur-
ing activation. Do not touch the
pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies
for several minutes after they have
been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re-
place 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, inspect, replace,
service or repair the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies may lead to
improper operation or inadvertent
activation and serious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driv-
ing or riding in a motor vehicle.
o If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat
belt must be discarded, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
