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 acti-
vated with the airbags. The pre-
tensioners will be activated un-
der these conditions 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
visible in the passenger compart-
ment. These are normal operat-
ing conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation
and should not be breathed for
prolonged periods. Wash your
hands and face thoroughly after
an accident in which the pre-
tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.
!
CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates
the SRS airbag is connected with
the pre-tensioner seat belt, the
SRS airbag warning light
AIR
on
BAG
the instrument panel will blink
for approximately 6 seconds af-
ter the ignition key has been
turned to the "ON" position, and
then it should turn off.
o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, this warn-
ing light will illuminate even if
there is no malfunction of the
SRS airbag system . If the SRS
airbag warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition key
is turned to "ON", or if it remains
illuminated after blinking for ap-
proximately 6 seconds, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, please have an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer inspect
the pre-tensioner seat belts and
SRS airbag system as soon as
possible.
!
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
replaced after they have been
worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt as-
sembly mechanisms become hot
during activation. Do not touch
the pre-tensioner seat belt as-
semblies for several minutes af-
ter they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or re-
place the pre-tensioner seat belts
yourself. This must be done by
an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or re-
pair the pre-tensioner seat belt
system in any manner.
