Hyundai KONA 2024 Owner's Manual page 62

Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's pretensioner seat belts
(retractor pretensioner and Emergency
Fastening Device) and rear passengers
pretensioner seat belts (retractor
pretensioner). The pretensioner makes
sure the seat belts fit tightly against your
body in certain frontal or side collision(s).
The pretensioner seat belts may be
activated in some crashes where the
frontal or side collision(s) is severe
enough, together with the airbags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if you
try to lean forward too quickly, the seat
belt retractor locks in place.
In some frontal collisions, the
pretensioner activates and pulls the seat
belt against your body.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Always wear your seat belt and sit
properly in your seat.
• Do not use the seat belt if it is loose or
twisted.
• Do not place anything near the buckle.
• Always replace your pretensioners after
activation or an accident.
• NEVER inspect, service, repair or
replace the pretensioners by yourself.
Have the pretensioners inspected,
serviced, repaired, or replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not hit the seat belt assemblies.
WARNING
Do not touch the pretensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes after they
have been activated. When the
pretensioner seat belt mechanism
deploys during a collision, the
pretensioner can become hot and can
burn you.
CAUTION
Body work on the front area of the vehicle
may damage the pretensioner seat belt
system. Have the system serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
