It will also lock if you try to lean forward too quickly.). However, when vehiclescrash, the retractor rewinds the beltwebbing. This will restrain the passen-ger movement quickly and also reducethe slack between passenger and belt webbing. NOTE:
o When the pre-tensioner seat belt
is activated, there may be an ex- plosion noise. This noise is nor-mal and is not hazardous.
o Pre-tensioner seat belt is de- signed to operate only when a sufficiently severe impact occurs and it will be only operated once.

The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against theoccupant's body in certain frontal col-lisions.The pre-tensioner seat belts can beactivated with the airbags. The pre-tensioner seat belt operates inthe same way as an Emergency Lock- ing Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops suddenly, or ifthe occupant tries to lean forward tooquickly, the seat belt retractor will lockinto position. However, in certain frontalcollisions, the pre-tensioner will acti- vate and pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant's body.

1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to
the correct position.!
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and frontpassenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certainfrontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti- vated with the airbags. The pre-tensioners will be activated un-der these conditions even if theseat belts are not being worn atthe time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise maybe heard and fine dust, whichmay appear to be smoke, may bevisible in the passenger com-partment. These are normal op- erating conditions and are not hazardous. illuminates while the vehicle isbeing driven, please have an au-thorized Hyundai dealer inspectthe pre-tensioner seat belt or SRSairbag 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 bereplaced after they have beenworn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt as- sembly mechanisms become hotduring activation. Do not touchthe pre-tensioner seat belt as-semblies for several minutes af-ter they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re- place the pre-tensioner seat beltsyourself. This must be done byan authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.!
o Although it is harmless, the finedust may cause skin irritation and should not be breathed for pro-longed periods. Wash your handsand face thoroughly after an acci- dent in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated.

o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, this warn- ing light will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of theSRS airbag system . If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition keyis turned to "ON", or if it remainsilluminated after blinking for ap-proximately 6 seconds, or if it

front passenger with additional protec- tion than that offered by the seat beltsystem alone, in case of a frontal im-pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and inthe glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and besupplemental to, the driver's andthe passenger's three point seatbelt systems and is not a substi-tute for them.

Rear impact
Side Impact Rollover
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-im- pact or rollover crashes. In addi-tion, airbags will not deploy infrontal crashes below the deploy- ment threshold speed.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° fromthe forward longitudinal axis ofthe vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Ad- ditionally, the airbags will onlydeploy once. Thus, seat beltsmust be worn at all times.
o The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. If you aresitting too close to the airbag, itcan cause death or serious injurywhen it inflates.
o No objects should be placed over
or near the airbag modules onthe steering wheel, instrumentpanel, and the front passenger'spanel above the glove box,because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to causethe airbags to deploy.
o If the airbags deploy, they must be replaced by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other com- ponents of the SRS system. Do-ing so could result in injury, dueto accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inopera- tive.
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passengerseat position. A child restraintsystem must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or childcould be severely injured or killed by an airbag deployment in caseof an accident.
o Do not allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If olderchildren (teenagers and older) must ride in the front seat, make sure they are always properlybelted and that the seat is movedback as far as possible.
o For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occu- pants including the driver should always wear their seat beltswhether or not an airbag is alsoprovided at their seating posi-tion to minimize the risk of se- vere injury or death in the event of a crash. Do not sit or leanunnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must de- ploy very rapidly to provide pro- tection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of notwearing a seat belt, the airbagmay forcefully contact the occu-pant causing serious or fatal in-juries.
