C020200BEN-UK Pre-tensioner seat belt (if equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with driver and
front passenger pre-tensioner seat belts.The pre-tensioner function ensures thatthe seat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant under certain impact conditions. If
the severity of impact or the angle ofimpact is such that the airbags or pre-
tensioners will not provide additionaloccupant protection, the system will not
deploy. If the occupant tries to lean for-
ward too quickly, the seat belt retractor
will lock into position. Under impact or
braking conditions, seat belt retractor will
lock. Depending upon the severity and
angle of impact, the pre-tensioner may
activate and will pull the seat belt intotighter contact against the occupant. The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-tion:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module

C020300AUN Seat belt precautions
WARNING
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 be
replaced after they have been
worn during a collision.
The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. This must be done
by a HYUNDAI authorised repair-
er.
Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies.
Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt
system in any manner.
(Continued)(Continued)
Improper handling of the pre-ten-sioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings not
to strike, modify, inspect, replace,
service or repair the pre-tension-
er seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadver-
tent activation and serious injury.
Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehi-
cle.
If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat belt must be discarded, con-
tact a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraintsreduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries for all occupants in the
event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants
could be shifted too close to a
deploying air bag, strike the interior
structure or be thrown from the
vehicle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags and occu-pant seating contained in this man-ual.

Infant or small child
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat. For
more information about the use of these
restraints, refer to “Child restraint sys-
tem” in this section.
✽✽NOTICE
Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the require-
ments of the Safety Standards of your
country. Before buying any child
restraint system, make sure that it has alabel certifying that it meets Safety
Standards of your country. The restraint
must be appropriate for your child'sheight and weight. Check the label on
the child restraint for this information.
Refer to “Child restraint system” in thissection.C020301AUN-UK
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. The lap portion should
be fastened snug on the hips and as low
as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt out of
position. Children are afforded the most
safety in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper restraint
system in the rear seat. If a larger child
(over age 12) must be seated in the frontseat, the child should be securely
restrained by the available lap/shoulderbelt and the seat should be placed in the
rearmost position. Children age 12 and
under should be restrained securely in
the rear seat. NEVER place a child age
12 and under in the front seat. NEVER
place a rear facing child seat in the front
seat of a vehicle.
WARNING
Every person in your vehicle needs
to be properly restrained at all
times, including infants and chil-
dren. Never hold a child in yourarms or lap when riding in a vehi-
cle. The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child from
your arms and throw the child
against the interior. Always use a
child restraint appropriate for your
child's height and weight.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the centre of the vehicle. If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to a
child restraint system. C020302AUN-UKPregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recommended
for pregnant women. The seat belt should
be worn as low and snugly as possible
across the hips, not across the abdomen.
A qualified Medical Practitioner should
be consulted for further information.
C020303AUN-UK
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported. For
specific recommendations, the advice of
a qualified Medical Practioner should besought.
C020304AUN-UK
One person per belt
The seat belts are designed to be used
by one seat occupant only. The use of a
seat belt by more than one person
increases the levels of injury which may
be sustained in the event of an accident.C020305AUN
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event
of an accident and to achieve maximum
effectiveness of the restraint system, all pas-sengers should be sitting up and the front
and rear seats should be in an upright posi-
tion when the car is moving. A seat belt can-
not provide proper protection if the person is
lying down in the rear seat or if the front andrear seats are in a reclined position.
WARNING
- Shoulder belts
on small children
Never allow a shoulder belt to be in contact with a child’s neck or
face whilst the vehicle is inmotion.
If seat belts are not properly worn and adjusted on children, there is
a risk of death or serious injury.
WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a colli-
sion or sudden stop. The protection
of your restraint system (seat belts
and air bags) is greatly reduced by
reclining your seat. Seat belts must
be snug against your hips and
chest to work properly. The more
the seatback is reclined, the greater
the chance that an occupant's hipswill slide under the lap belt causingserious internal injuries or the
occupant's neck could strike the
shoulder belt. Drivers and passen-
gers should always sit well back in
their seats, properly belted, andwith the seat backs upright.
