Pre-tensioner Seat Belt

(If Installed)
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 occu-
pant's body in certain frontal collisions.
The pre-tensioner seat belts can be
activated with the airbags.

The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in
a similar 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. In certain frontal colli-
sions, the pre-tensioner will activate
and pull the seat belt into tighter contact
against the occupant's body.

WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor-
rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to
the correct position.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts will be activated in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be activat-
ed with the airbags. The pre-
tensioners will be activated even if
the seat belts are not being worn at
the time of the collision.
o 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 vis-
ible in the passenger compart-
ment. These are normal operating
conditions and are not hazard-
ous.
