o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash your hands
and face thoroughly after an acci-
dent in which the pre-tensioner
seat belts were activated.
!
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates
the SRS airbag is connected with
pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS
airbag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate
for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has been turned to
the "ON" position, and then it
should turn off.
o If pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning
light will illuminate even if there is
no malfunction of the SRS airbag.
If the SRS airbag warning light
does not illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON", or if it
blinks for a second and remains
illuminated after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, please have an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect
the pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS
airbag system as soon as pos-
sible.
!
WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to
operate only one time. After acti-
vation, pre-tensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat belts, of
any type, should always be re-
placed after they have been worn
during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
bly mechanisms become hot dur-
ing activation. Do not touch the
pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies
for several minutes after they have
been activated.
