WARNING:
o Pre-tensioners are designed to oper-
ate only one time. After activation,
pre-tensioner seat belts must be re-
placed. All seat belts, of any type,
should always be replaced after they
have been worn during a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during acti-
vation. Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies for several min-
utes after they have been activated.
o Do not attempt to inspect or replace
the pre-tensioner seat belts yourself.
This must be done by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o Do not strike the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies.
o Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner.
o Improper handling of the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies, and failure to
heed the warnings to not strike, modify,
inspect, replace, service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies
may lead to improper operation or
inadvertent activation and serious
injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driving
or riding in a motor vehicle.
CAUTION:
o The sensor that activates the SRS
airbag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belts. 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 mal-
function of the SRS airbag system. If
the SRS airbag warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition key is
turned to "ON" or if it remains illumi-
nated after approximately 6 seconds,
or if it illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, please have an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-
tensioner seat belts and SRS airbag
system as soon as possible.

NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front
passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts
will be activated in certain frontal col-
lisions. The pre-tensioner seat belt
may be activated with or without
airbag activation, depending on the
circumstances of a collision. 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 passen-
ger compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly after an accident in which
the pre-tensioner seat belts were ac-
tivated.
