nated after blinking for approximately 6
seconds, or if it illuminates while the ve-
hicle is being driven, please have an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-
tensioner seat belts and SRS airbag sys-
tem 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, insp-
ect, replace, service or repair the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadvertent acti-
vation and serious injury.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists
mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustration.

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.
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 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 blink for ap-
proximately 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 ignition key
is turned to "ON" or if it remains illumi-
