Safety system
In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the
seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant’s body.
WARNING
ꢀ Always wear your seat belt and
sit properly in your seat.
- Retractor Pretensioner
ꢀ Do not use the seat belt if it is
loose or twisted. A loose or
twisted seat belt will not protect
you properly in an accident.
The purpose of the retractor preten-
sioner is to make sure that the
shoulder belts fit in tightly against
the occupant’s upper body in cer-
tain frontal or side collision(s).
ꢀ Do not place anything near the
buckle. This may adversely affect
the buckle and cause it to func-
tion improperly.
- EFD (Emergency Fastening
Device)
ꢀ Always replace your pre-tension-
ers after activation or an acci-
dent.
The purpose of the EFD is to make
sure that the pelvis belts fit in tightly
against the occupant’s lower body
in certain frontal or side collisions.
(if equipped, Driver only)
ꢀ NEVER inspect, service, repair
or replace the pre-tensioners
yourself. This must be done by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger’s seat
belt when the pre-tensioner system
activates, the load limiter inside the
retractor pre-tensioner will release
some of the pressure on the affected
seat belt.
ꢀ Do not hit the seat belt assem-
blies.
WARNING
Do not touch the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been acti-
vated. When the pre-tensioner seat
belt mechanism deploys during a
collision, the pre-tensioner can
become hot and can burn you.
CAUTION
If equipped with rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also
in a side collision or rollover, if the
vehicle is equipped with a side or
curtain air bag.
CAUTION
Body work on the front area of the
vehicle may damage the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt system. Therefore,
we recommend that the system be
serviced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
CAUTION
Without rollover sensor
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also
in a side collision, if the vehicle is
equipped with a side or curtain air
bag.
