WARNING
• No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
• When fastening a seat belt, do
not latch the seat belt into
buckles of other seats. It's
very dangerous and you may
not be protected by the seat
belt properly.
• Do not unfasten the seat belt
and do not fasten and unfas-
ten the seat belt repeatedly
whilst driving. This could
result in loss of control, and
an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property
damage.

• When fastening the seat belt,
make sure that the seat belt
does not pass over objects
that are hard or can break eas-
ily.
• Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle. The seat belt may
not be fastened securely.(Continued)
It is essential to replace the
entire assembly after it has
been worn in a severe impact
even if damage to the assembly
is not obvious. Belts should not
be worn with straps twisted.
Each seat belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant;
it is dangerous to put a belt
around a child being carried on
the occupant's lap.

Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant's body in certain frontal colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in crashes where
the frontal collision is severe enough.When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
OED030300/H
WARNING
For your safety, be sure that the
belt webbing is not loose or
twisted and always sit properly
on your seat.

Safety features of your vehicle
✽NOTICE
• When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, 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 condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be inhaled for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tensioner
seat belts were activated.
• Because the sensor that activates
the SRS air bag is connected with
the pre-tensioner seat belt, the
SRS air bag warning light on
the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds
after the ignition switch has been
turned to the ON position, before
turning off.WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit
from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn
correctly and adjusted to the
proper position. Please read
and follow all of the important
information and precautions
about your vehicle’s occupant
safety features – including
seat belts and air bags – that
are provided in this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passen-
gers always wear seat belts
properly.
CAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, this warn-
ing light will illuminate even if
there is no malfunction of the
SRS air bag.
If the SRS air bag warning light
does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to ON,
or if it remains illuminated after
illuminating for approximately 6
seconds, or if it illuminates
whilst the vehicle is being driv-
en, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.

Seat belt precautionsWARNING
• 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 colli-
sion.
• 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. We recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not strike the pre-tension-
er seat belt assemblies.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assem-
blies, and failure to heed the
warnings (not to strike, modi-
fy, inspect, replace, service or
repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies) may lead to
improper operation or inad-
vertent activation and serious
injury.
• Always wear the seat belts
when driving or travelling in a
vehicle.
• If the vehicle or pre-tensioner
seat belt must be discarded,
we recommend that you con-
tact an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Body work on the front area of
the vehicle may damage the
pre-tensioner seat belt system.
Therefore, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorised HYUNDAIdealer.
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle
must wear their seat belts at all
times. Seat belts and child
restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all
occupants in the event of a col-
lision or sudden stop. Without a
seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying
air bag, strike the interior struc-
ture or be thrown from the vehi-
cle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags and
occupant seating contained in
this manual.
