To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt is adjusted
manually so that it fits snugly around your hips.
If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the
belt will extend and let you move around. If
there is a sudden stop or impact, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you
try to lean forward too quickly.

To Fasten Your Belt
Combination retractor type seat belts are in-
stalled in the rear seat outboard positions to
help accommodate the installation of child re-
straint systems. Hyundai strongly recommends
that children always be seated in the rear seat.
NEVER place any infant restraint system in
the front seat of the vehicle.
This type of seat belt combines the features
of both an emergency locking retractor seat
belt and an automatic locking retractor seat
belt. To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle. When not secur-
ing a child restraint, the seat belt operates in
the same way as the driver's seat belt (Emer-

The seat belt pre-tensioner system consists
mainly of the following components. Their lo-
cations are shown in the illustration.

B180C02A-AAT
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.

WARNING:To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the
correct position. mode, the belt will be locked. After installation
of the child restraint system, try to move it in
all directions to be sure the child restraint
system is securely installed. If you need to
tighten the belt, pull more webbing toward the
retractor. When you unbuckle the seat belt
and allow it to retract, the retractor will auto-
matically revert back to its normal seated
passenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:o Before installing the child restraint sys-
tem, read the instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de-
scribed, have the system checked imme-
diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:o If the retractor is not in the Automatic
Locking mode, the child restraint system
can move when your vehicle turns or
stops abruptly.
o Do not install any child restraint system
in the front passenger seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the passenger
side airbag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child seated in an
infant or child seat. Therefore, only use a
child restraint system in the rear seat of
your vehicle.

!WARNING:o Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pre-
tensioner seat belts must be replaced. All
seat belts, of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been worn dur-
ing a collision.
o The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly
mechanisms become hot during activa-
tion. Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes 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, in-
spect, replace, service or repair the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadvertent acti-
vation and serious injury.
o Always wear the seat belts when driving
or riding in a motor vehicle.CAUTION:o Because the sensor that activates the
SRS airbag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt, the SRS airbag warn-
ing light on the instrument panel will
blink 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 illuminated after
blinking for approximately 6 seconds, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle is being
driven, please have an authorized 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 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 acti-
vated 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 compart-
ment. These are normal operating condi-
tions 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.

29DUAL-STAGE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM (SRS)
B240A01A-AAT
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Dual-stage
Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System. The
indications of the system's presence are the
letters "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on the airbag
pad cover in the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel pad above the
glove box.
The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the steer-
ing wheel and the passenger's side front panel
above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is
to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat-belt system alone, in case of
a frontal impact of sufficient severity.
B240A03A
Driver's AirbagThe dual-stage SRS uses a collection of sen-
sors to gather information about the driver's
and front passenger's seat position, the
driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage
and impact severity.
The driver's and front passenger's seat posi-
tion sensors determine if the seats are fore or
aft of a reference position. Similarly, the seat
belt usage sensors determine if the driver and
front passenger's seat belts are fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to control
the SRS deployment's pressure based on how
close the driver's seat is to the steering wheel,
how close the passenger's seat is to the
instrument panel and whether or not the seat
belts are fastened.
The dual-stage airbags offer the ability to control
the airbag inflation with two pressure levels. A
lower pressure level is provided for moderate-
severity impacts. A higher-pressure level is pro-
vided for more severe impacts.
NOTE:o Be sure to read information about the
SRS on the labels provided on the back-
side of the sun visor and in the glove box.
WARNING:o As its name implies, the SRS is de-
signed to work with, and be supple-
mental to, the driver's and the
passenger's three point seat belt sys-
tems and is not a substitute for them.
Therefore, your seat belts must be worn
at all times while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. The airbags deploy only in certain
frontal impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant injury to
the vehicle occupants.
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is suffi-
ciently severe and when the impact
angle is less than 30° from the forward
longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will
not deploy in side, rear or rollover im-
pacts. Additionally, the airbags will only
deploy once. Thus, seat belts must be
worn at all times.
!
o Dual-stage inflating airbags are com-
bined with pre-tensioner seat belts to
help provided enhanced occupant pro-
tection in frontal crashes. Front airbags
are not intended to deploy in light
collisions in which protection can be
provided by the pre-tensioner seat belt.
