Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with
driver's and front passenger's pre-
tensioner seat belts. The purpose of the
pre-tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occupant's
body in certain frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be activated alone
or, where the frontal collision is severe
enough, together with the airbags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the
occupant tries to lean forward too quickly,
the seat belt retractor will lock into posi-
tion. In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the seat
belt into tighter contact against the
occupant's body.
