Additional Seat Belt Safety Precautions - Hyundai BC3 Owner's Manual

Safety system
NOTICE
• Pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions or rollovers (if equipped
with rollover sensor).
• 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 compartment. These are
normal operating conditions and are
not hazardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for prolonged
periods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were
activated.

Additional seat belt safety
precautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used
during pregnancy. The best way to
protect your unborn child is to protect
yourself by always wearing the seat belt.
Pregnant women should always wear
a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the
shoulder belt across your chest, routed
between your breasts and away from
your neck. Place the lap belt below your
belly so that it fits SNUGLY across your
hips and pelvic bone, under the rounded
part of the belly.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to an unborn child during an
accident, pregnant women should
NEVER place the lap portion of the
seat belt above or over the area of the
abdomen where the unborn child is
located.
