Pre-tensioner Seat Belt

Your Hyundai 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
occupant's body in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be activated
alone or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in the
same way as an Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops
suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock into
position. However, in certain frontal collisions,
the pre-tensioner will activate and pull the seat
belt into tighter contact against the occupant's
body.
