In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the
seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant’s body.
- Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
shoulder belts fit in tightly against
the occupant’s upper body in cer-
tain frontal or side collision(s).
-
EFD (Emergency Fastening
Device)
The purpose of the EFD is to make
sure that the pelvis belts fit in tight-
ly against the occupant’s lower
body in certain frontal or side colli-
sions. (if equipped, Driver only)
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger’s seat
belt when the pre-tensioner system
activates, the load limiter inside the
retractor pre-tensioner will release
some of the pressure on the affected
seat belt.
CAUTION
If equipped with rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also
in a side collision or rollover, if the
vehicle is equipped with a side or
curtain air bag.
CAUTION
Without rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also
in a side collision, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain air
bag.
WARNING
• Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.
• Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or
twisted seat belt will not protect
you properly in an accident.
• Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely
affect the buckle and cause it to
function improperly.
• Always replace your pre-ten-
sioners after activation or an
accident.
• NEVER inspect, service, repair
or replace the pre-tensioners
yourself. This must be done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not hit the seat belt assem-
blies.
WARNING
Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been acti-
vated. When the pre-tensioner seat
belt mechanism deploys during a
collision, the pre-tensioner can
become hot and can burn you.
CAUTION
Body work on the front area of the
vehicle may damage the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt system. Therefore,
we recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
