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 acti- vated alone or, where the frontal collision is severe enough, to-gether with the airbags.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise maybe heard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be visible in the passenger compart-ment. These are normal operat- ing conditions and are not haz- ardous. WARNING:

When the vehicle stops suddenly,or if the occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into position. However, in certainfrontal collisions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull the seat belt into tighter contact against the occupant'sbody. HXG229

o The SRS is designed to deploy
the airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axisof the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will onlydeploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in light collisions in whichprotection can be provided by the seat belt alone.

Your Hyundai is equipped with dual- diagonal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheelseven if one of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are re- quired to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with onlyhalf of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional enginebraking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so. B260J01A-GAT
