However, in certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti- vate and pull the seat belt into tightercontact against the occupant's body. The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists mainly of the following compo-nents. Their locations are shown in theillustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside a vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panel padsurface. If there is any leakage fromthe air freshener onto these areas(instrument cluster, instrument panelpad or air ventilator), it may damage these parts. If the liquid from the air freshener does leak onto these ar-eas, wash them with water immedi-ately.
WARNING:
o When the SRS is activated, there may be a loud noise and fine dust will be released throughout the vehicle. These conditions are nor-mal and are not hazardous. How-ever, the fine dust generated dur-ing airbag deployment may causeskin irritation. Be sure to wash your hands and face thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mildsoap after an accident in whichthe airbags were deployed. o The SRS can function only when
the ignition key is in the "ON"position. If the SRS SRI does notcome on, or continuously remains on, after flashing for about 6 sec- onds when the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position, orafter the engine is started, or comeson while driving, the SRS is notworking properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or dis- connect a battery terminal, turnthe ignition key to the "LOCK"position or remove the ignition key. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when theignition key is in the "ON" posi-tion. Failure to heed this warningwill cause the SRS SRI to illumi-nate.
