Seats & Safety System
OHI038175L
The Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt System
consists mainly of the following
components. Their locations are shown in
the illustration above:
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Retractor pre-tensioner
(3) SRS control module
NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS control
module is connected with the
pre-tensioner seat belts. The SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument cluster
will illuminate for approximately 3~6
seconds after the Start/Stop button is in
the ON position, and then it should turn
off.
If the pre-tensioner is not working
properly, the warning light will illuminate
even if the SRS air bag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light does
not illuminate, stays illuminated or
illuminates when the vehicle is being
driven, have the pre-tensioner seat belts
and/or SRS control module be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.

Information
• Pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions or rollover situations (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 inhaled 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.
