Airbag
Six airbags are installed in the KONA HEV, 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 12V battery connector (located in the engine room) to prevent
accidental deployment of undeployed airbags.
❈ The actual air bags and seats in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
In the KONA HEV, the front and rear 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.
