Pre-tensioner Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Seat BeltPre-tensioner Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner Seat BeltYour 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.
B180B01S
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in a simi-
lar way as an Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) type of seat belt. When the vehicle stops
suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean for-
ward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal colli-
sions, the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against the
occupant's body.

B990B03Y-GATSide Impact Airbag (If Installed)
B990B02Y
Your Hyundai is equipped with a side impact
airbag in each front seat. The purpose of the
airbag is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or
the front passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt alone. The
side impact airbags are designed to deploy only
during certain side impact collisions, depend-
ing on the crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact. The side impact airbag are not
designed to deploy in all side impact situations.

B990A04Y-AATPASSENGER PRESENCE DETECTIONThe passenger presence detection system de-
tects the presence of a passenger in the right
front seat. If no passenger is recognized on the
front passenger seat, the deployment of the
front passenger and/or side airbag and seat
belt pretensioner will be prevented.
This system is designed to prevent the replace-
ment of airbag components that deploy need-
lessly in an accident.
NOTE:Luggage or other cargo heavier than 33 lbs
should not be placed on the passenger front
seat. This can allow the deployment of the
front passenger and/or side air bag in the
case of an accident.
WARNING:The Passenger Presence Detection system
is not intended to prevent airbag deploy-
ment while a child is in the front passenger's
seat. It is intended only as a means to
reduce unnecessary collision damage re-
pair expense by preventing airbag and seat
belt pretensioner deployment when the right
front passenger seat is unoccupied. De-
ployment is still possible if only a few pounds
are placed upon the seat. Therefore, children
must not be transported in the front seat. All
children must be seated in the rear seat and
properly restrained with the vehicle's re-
straint system or a child restraint system
appropriate for the child's size and weight.

The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI)
comes on and flashes for about 6 seconds
after the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position or after the engine is started, after
which it will go out.
This light also comes on when the SRS is not
working properly. If the SRI does not come on,
or continuously remains on after flashing for
about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition
key to the "ON" position or started the engine,
or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS
inspected by an authorized Hyundai Dealer.
B260P02Y-GATABS Service Reminder
Indicator (SRI) (If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the
Anti-Lock Brake System will come on and then
go off in a few seconds. If the ABS SRI remains
on, comes on while driving, or does not come
on when the key is turned to the "ON" position,
this indicates that there may be a problem with
the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by
your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The
normal braking system will still be operational,
but without the assistance of the anti-lock
brake system.
WARNING:If the both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON"
or come on while driving, there may be a
problem with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force
Distribution).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have
your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.
