or if it is disconnected after the igni-
tion switch is turned ON, the seat
belt warning light will illuminate until
the belt is fastened.If you continue not to fasten the seat

onds and the corresponding warning

belt, press the button (1) in the lock-

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.

The center lap belt latching
mechanism is different from
those for the rear seat shoulder
belts. When fastening the rear
seat shoulder belts or the cen-
ter lap belt, make sure they are

les to obtain maximum protec-
tion from the seat belt system

The sensor that activates the SRS
air bag is connected with the
pre–tensioner seat belts. The SRS
air bag warning light on the instru-
ment panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch is placed to the ON
position, and then it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illu-
minate even if the SRS air bag is
not malfunctioning. If the warning
light does not illuminate, stays illu-
minated or illuminates when the
vehicle is being driven, we recom-
mend the pre-tensioner seat belts
and/or SRS air bags be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible.
Information
• Both the driver's and front passen-
ger's pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions.
• The pre-tensioners will be activated
even if the seat belts are not worn at
the time of the collision.
• 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 non-toxic, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an acci-
dent in which the pre-tensioner seat
belts were activated.
Additional seat belt safety pre-
cautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used
during pregnancy. The best way to
protect your unborn child is to protect
yourself by always wearing the seat
belt.
Pregnant women should always wear
a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the
shoulder belt across your chest, rout-
ed between your breasts and away
from your neck. Place the lap belt
below your belly so that it fits SNUGLY
across your hips and pelvic bone,
under the rounded part of the belly.
iNOTICE
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death to an unborn
child during an accident, preg-
nant women should NEVER
place the lap portion of the seat
belt above or over the area of
the abdomen where the unborn
child is located.

Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific rec-
ommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. During
an accident, you could be thrown into
the seat belt, causing neck or other
injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
NEVER ride with a reclined
seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
Driver and passengers should
always sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.
WARNING
Always make sure larger chil-
dren’s seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
NEVER allow the shoulder
belt to contact the child’s
neck or face.
Do not allow more than one
child to use a single seat belt.
WARNING

2-32
Safety system of your vehicle
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the front
passenger seat can be force-
fully struck by an inflating air
bag resulting in serious or
fatal injuries.
Always follow the instructions
for installation and use of the
child restraint maker.
Always make sure the child
seat is secured properly in the
car and your child is securely
restrained in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms
or lap when riding in a vehicle.
The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child
from your arms and throw the
child against the car’s interior.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Never put a seat belt over your-
self and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into
the child causing serious inter-
nal injuries.
Never leave children unattend-
ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The car can heat up
very quickly, resulting in seri-
ous injuries to children inside.
Even very young children may
inadvertently cause the vehicle
to move, entangle themselves
in the windows, or lock them-
selves or others inside the vehi-
cle.
Never allow two children, or any
two persons, to use the same
seat belt.
Children often squirm and
reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride 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 vehicles
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 car is
parked in direct sunlight.
Always check seat belt buck-
les before fastening them over
a child.
After an accident, we recom-
mend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If there is not enough space to
place the child restraint sys-
tem because of the driver's
seat, install the child restraint
system in the rear right seat.
