Airbag
Six airbags are installed in the KONA EV, located in the areas shown in the image below.
Before performing any emergency procedure, make sure the vehicle ignition switch is
turned off and disconnect the negative connector from the 12 Volt auxiliary battery (located
in the left side motor compartment) to prevent accidental deployment of the airbags.
NOTE: Actual air bags and seats in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
In the KONA EV, the driver's and front passenger's seat belts are equipped with
pretensioners. When the seat belt pretensioners are activated in a collision, 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.
The seat belt pretensioner assembly mechanisms may become hot during activation and
may need several minutes to cool down after they have been activated.
