WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
o The seatbelt must be worn correctly and
adjusted to the proper position (see
pages 1-23 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.
!
CAUTION:
Do not put anything near the buckle.
Placing objects near the buckle can ad-
versely affect the buckle pre-tensioner
and may increase the risk of personal
injury in the event of a collision.
If the system senses excessive seat belt
tension on the driver or passenger's seat
belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the
load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the
affected seat belt.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists
mainly of the following components. Their
locations are shown in the illustration:

Pre-tensioner Seat Belt
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with
driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner
is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant's body 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.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the
occupant tries to lean forward too quickly,
the seat belt retractor will lock into position.
In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the seat belt
into tighter contact against the occupant's
body. The buckle pre-tensioner (which is
installed in the buckle) will also pull the
seat belt into the buckle.
