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.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches 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.Pregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recom-
mended for pregnant women to
lessen the chance of injury in an
accident. When a seat belt is used,
the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the
hips, not across the abdomen. For
specific recommendations, consult a
physician.
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda-
tions.
One person per seat belt
No more than one person should use
a single seat belt. This would
increase the severity of injuries in
case of an accident.
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 in motion.
• If seat belts are not properly
worn and adjusted on chil-
dren, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.
WARNING - Pregnant
women
Pregnant women must never
place the lap portion of the seat
belt over the area of the
abdomen where the fetus is
located or above the abdomen
where the seat belt could crush
the fetus during an impact.

(Continued)
• Never put a seat belt over your-
self and a child. During a crash,
the seat belt could press deep
into the child causing serious
internal injuries.
• Never leave children unattend-
ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The vehicle can
heat up very quickly, resulting
in serious injuries to children
inside. Even very young chil-
dren may inadvertently cause
the vehicle to move, entangle
themselves in the windows, or
lock themselves or others
inside the vehicle.
• Never allow two children, or
any two adults, to use the same
seat belt.
• Children often squirm and
reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child travel
with the shoulder belt under
their arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in rear seat.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Never allow a child to stand-up
or kneel on the seat or floor-
board of a moving vehicle.
During a collision or sudden
stop, the child can be violently
thrown against the vehicle's
interior, resulting in serious
injury.
• Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an
accident.
• Seat belts can become very
hot, especially when the vehi-
cle is parked in direct sunlight.
Always check seat belt buckles
before fastening them over a
child.
• After an accident, we recom-
mend that the system be
checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
• If there is not enough space
behind the driver's seat to
place the child restraint sys-
tem, install the child restraint
system in the rear seat, behind
the front passenger's seat.WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
• Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear
seat. A child travelling in the
front passenger seat can be
forcefully struck by an inflating
air bag resulting in serious or
fatal injuries.
• Always follow the instructions
for installation and use of the
child restraint manufacturer.
• Always make sure the child
seat is secured properly in the
vehicle and your child is
securely restrained in the child
seat.
• Never hold a child in your arms
or lap when travelling in a vehi-
cle. The violent forces created
during a crash will tear the
child from your arms and throw
the child against the vehicle’s
interior.
