FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 1 39 39 NOTE: ! WARNING: To obtain maximum benefit from a pretensioner seat belt: The seat belt must be work correctly and adjusted to the proper position (see pages 1-25 and 1-26). Please read and follow all of the important information and precautions about your vehicle's occupant safety features - including seat belts and advanced airbags - that are provided in this manual. o Both the driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated 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. The pre-tensioners will not be activated if the seat belts are not being worn at the time of the collision. o 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. o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should not be breathed for prolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated. ! CAUTION: o The sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with the pretensioner seat belt. The SRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition key has been turned to the "ON" position, and then it should turn off. o If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warning light will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, remains illuminated after approximately 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have an authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the advanced SRS airbag system as soon as possible.
