WARNING
OTM038098R
Improperly positioned seat belts may
increase the risk of serious injury
in an accident. Take the following
precautions when adjusting the seat
belt:

[Position the lap portion of the seat
belt as low as possible across your
hips, not on your waist, so that it
fits snugly. This allows your strong
pelvic bones to absorb the force of
the crash, reducing the chance of
internal injuries.

[Position one arm under the shoulder
belt and the other over the belt, as
shown in the illustration.

[Always position the shoulder belt
anchor into locked position at the
appropriate height.

[Never position the shoulder belt
across your neck or face.
OJS038070AU

Press the release button (1) in the locking
buckle.
When it is released, the belt should
automatically draw back into the
retractor. If this does not happen, check
the belt to be sure it is not twisted, then
try again.

Safety system
Rear centre seat belt
(if equipped)
OAC3039044TU
When using the rear centre seat belt, the
buckle with the “CENTER” mark must be
used.
i Information
If you are not able to pull out the safety
belt from the retractor, firmly pull the
belt out and release it. After release, you
will be able to pull the belt out smoothly.
Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
OLMB033039/H
[1] : Retractor pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s
and front passenger’s Pre-tensioner
Seat Belts (Retractor Pre-tensioner). The
purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make
sure the seat belts fit tightly against the
occupant’s body in certain frontal or
side collision(s). The pre-tensioner seat
belts may be activated in crashes where
the frontal or side collision(s) is severe
enough, together with the air bags.
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 activate and pull the seat
belt into tighter contact against the
occupant’s body.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger’s seat
belt when the pre-tensioner system
activates, the load limiter inside the
retractor pre-tensioner will release some
of the pressure on the affected seat belt
(if equipped with load limiter).

3-25
03
CAUTION
The pre-tensioner will activate not only
in a frontal collision but also in a side
collision, if the vehicle is equipped with
a side or curtain air bag.
WARNING

[Always wear your seat belt and sit
properly in your seat.

[Do not use the seat belt if it is loose
or twisted. A loose or twisted seat
belt will not protect you properly in
an accident.

[Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to function
improperly.

[Always replace your pre-tensioners
after activation or an accident.

[NEVER inspect, service, repair or
replace the pre-tensioners yourself.
We recommend that you have the
pre-tensioners inspected, serviced,
repaired or replaced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.

[Do not hit the seat belt assemblies.
WARNING
Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated. When
the pre-tensioner seat belt mechanism
deploys during a collision, the pre-
tensioner can become hot and can burn
you.
CAUTION
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 a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.

components. Their locations are shown
in the illustration above:
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Front retractor pre-tensioner
(if equipped)

OBC3030012R
„Rear
(4) Rear retractor pre-tensioner
(if equipped)
NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS
air bag is connected with the pre–
tensioner seat belts. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument 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
illuminate even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate, stays illuminated
or illuminates when the vehicle is
being driven, we recommend the pre-
tensioner seat belts and/or SRS air bags
be inspected by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer as soon as possible.

3-27
03
NOTICE

[Pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions.

[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 conditions and are
not hazardous.

[Although it is non-toxic, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for prolonged
periods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were
activated.
Additional seat belt safety
precautions
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, routed
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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to an unborn child during an
accident, pregnant 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.
