Safety features of your vehicle
NOTICE
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also in a
side collision, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain air
bag.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following
components. Their locations are
shown in the illustration:
OSP2I039025
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Front retractor pre-tensioner
assembly
3. SRS control module
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be working
correctly and adjusted to the
proper position. Please read and
follow all of the important infor-
mation and precautions about
your vehicle's occupant safety
features including seat belts and
air bags that are provided in this
manual.
2. Be sure you and your passengers
always wear seat belts properly.
NOTICE
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 operating
conditions and are not hazardous.
Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-ten-
sioner seat belts were activated.
Because the sensor that activates
the SRS air bag is connected with
the pre-tensioner seat belt, the
SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate
for approximately 3 ~ 6 seconds
after the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button has
been turned to the "ON" position,
and then it should turn off.
