2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Owner's Manual - Page 54

1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI 42 NOTE: ! WARNING: To obtain maximum benefit from a pretensioner seat belt: 1. The seatbelt must be work correctly and adjusted to the proper position (see pages 1-30 and 1-31). Please read and follow all of the important information and precautions about your vehicle's occupant safety features - including seat belts and advanced air bags - that are provided in this manual. 2. Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them properly. 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 together with the air bags. 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 all exposed skin areas thoroughly after an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were activated. ! CAUTION: o The sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with the pretensioner seat belt. The SRS air bag AIR warning light BAG 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 air bag. If the SRS air bag 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 air bag system as soon as possible.
