DOOR
B040A02Y-AAT DOOR LOCKS
WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be danger- ous. Before you drive away (es- pecially if there are children in the car), be sure that all the doorsare securely closed and locked so that the doors cannot be inad- vertently opened from the inside.This helps ensure that the doors will not be opened accidentally. Also, when combined with theproper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps keep occupants from being ejected from the carin case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traf-fic.
o In case of accident, the door is
unlocked automatically (If in-stalled).

1.SRS airbag warning light
2.Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3.SRS control module
!
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certainfrontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be acti- vated alone or, where the frontalcollision is severe enough, to- gether with the airbags. The pre- tensioners will be activated un-der these conditions even if the seat belts are not being worn at the time of the collision. WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from apre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to
the correct position. 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 operat- ing conditions and are not haz- ardous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritationand should not be breathed forprolonged periods. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after an accident in which the pre-tensioner seat belts were acti- vated.

o Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings to not strike, modify, inspect, re-place, service or repair the pre- tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead to improper operationor inadvertent activation and se- rious injury.
o Always wear seat belts when driv-
ing or riding in a motor vehicle.!CAUTION:
o Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag is connected with the pre-tensioner seat belt, theSRS airbag warning light on the instrument panel will blink for approximately 6 seconds af-ter 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 warn-ing light will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of the SRS airbag system . If the SRS airbag warning light does notilluminate when the ignition key is turned to "ON" or if it remains illuminated after blinking for ap-proximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, please have an au-thorized Hyundai dealer inspect the pre-tensioner seat belts and SRS airbag system as soon aspossible.!
