Safety system of your vehicle
EFD system (Driver and front pas-
senger, if equipped)
The purpose of the EFD (Emergency
Fastening Device) system is to make
sure the lap belt fit tightly against the
occupant's lower body in certain frontal
collisions. The EFD (Emergency
Fastening Device) may be activated in
crashes where the frontal collision is
severe enough.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver's or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-
vates, the load limiter inside the pre-
tensioner will release some of the
pressure on the affected seat belt.

WARNING
Pre-Tensioner Seat Belts (retrac-

emergency fastening device)
that malfunction may not protect
you properly during an accident.
Take the following precautions:
•
Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.
•
Do not use the seat belt if it is
OLMB033039
loose or twisted. A loose or
twisted seat belt will not pro-
tect you properly in an acci-
dent.
•
Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely
affect the buckle and cause it
to function improperly.
•
Always replace your pre-ten-
sioners after activation or an
accident.
•
NEVER inspect, service, repair
or replace the pre-tensioners
yourself. This must be done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•
Do not hit the seat belt assem-
blies.
WARNING
Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt (retractor pre-tension-
er seat belt and emergency fas-
tening device) assemblies for
several minutes after they have
been activated. When the pre-
tensioner seat belt (retractor
pre-tensioner seat belt and
emergency fastening device)
mechanism deploy during a col-
lision, the pre-tensioner
becomes hot and can burn you.
CAUTION
Body work on the front area of
the vehicle may damage the
pre-tensioner seat belt (retrac-
tor pre-tensioner seat belt and
emergency fastening device)
system. Therefore, we recom-
mend that the system be serv-
iced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
