Safety features of your vehicle
Seat belt warning
(for driver’s seat)
As a reminder to the driver, the seat
belt warning light will blink for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the ignition switch ON
and/or START regardless of belt fas-
tening.If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned ON
and/or START, the seat belt warning
light and the seat belt warning chime
will operate for approximately 6 sec-
onds. If the driver’s seat belt is fas-
tened within the 6 seconds, the
warning light will blink during the 6
seconds and the warning chime will
turn off immediately.
If the driver's seat belt is disconnect-
ed after the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position, the seat belt
warning light will blink for approxi-
mately 6 seconds until the belt is fas-
tened. If the driver's seat belt is not
fastened when the vehicle speed
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), the seat
belt warning light and chime will
operate for approximately 10 times
with a pattern of 6 seconds on and
24 seconds off until the belt is fas-
tened or the vehicle speed decreas-
es below 3 mph (5 km/h).
WARNING
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
When you fasten the seat belt,
be careful not to latch the seat
belt in buckles of other seat. It's
very dangerous and you may
not be protected by the seat
belt properly.
Do not unfasten and fasten the
seat belt repeatedly while driv-
ing. This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
When fastening the seat belt,
make sure that the seat belt
does not pass over objects that
are hard or can break easily.
Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle. The seat belt may
not be fastened securely.

Safety features of your vehicle
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 acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger's
seat belt when the pre-tensioner acti-
vates, 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 com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
OBH038100
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit
from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn
correctly and adjusted to the
proper position. Please read
and follow all of the important
information and precautions
about your vehicle’s occu-
pant safety features – includ-
ing seat belts and air bags –
that are provided in this man-
ual.
2. Be sure you and your passen-
gers always wear seat belts
properly.
WARNING
Do not put anything near the
buckle. Placing objects near the
buckle can adversely affect the
buckle pre-tensioner and may
increase the risk of personal
injury in the event of a collision.
WARNING
For your safety, be sure that the
belt webbing is not loose or
twisted and always sit property
on your seat.

✽
✽
NOTICE
• Both the driver's and front pas-
senger's pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain frontal
collisions.
• 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 compartment.
These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
• The fine dust may cause skin irri-
tation and should not be breathed
for prolonged periods. Wash all
exposed skin areas thoroughly
after an accident in which the pre-
tensioner seat belts were activated.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Because the sensor that activates the
SRS air bag is connected with the
pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS air
bag warning light on the instru-
ment panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch has been turned to
the ON position, and then it should
turn off.
CAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, this warn-
ing light will illuminate even if
there is no malfunction of the
SRS air bag. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is
turned ON, or if it remains illu-
minated after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, have an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer inspect
the pre-tensioner seat belt and
SRS air bag system as soon as
possible.
WARNING
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 during a colli-
sion.
The pre-tensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several min-
utes after they have been acti-
vated.
Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. This must be
done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not strike the pre-tension-
er seat belt assemblies.
Do not attempt to service or
repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt system in any manner.

NOTICE
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a child restraint system that
meets the requirements of the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. Before buying any child
restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height
and weight. Check the label on the
child restraint for this information.
Refer to “Child restraint system” in
this section.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. The lap
portion should be fastened and
snugged on the hips and as low as
possible. Check if the belt fits period-
ically. A child's squirming could put
the belt out of position. Children are
given the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are restrained
by a proper restraint system in the
rear seat. If a larger child (over age
12) must be seated in the front seat,
the child should be securely
restrained by the available lap/shoul-
der belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.
Children age 12 and under should be
restrained securely in the rear seat.
NEVER place a child age 12 and
under in the front seat. NEVER place
a rear facing child seat in the front
seat of a vehicle.If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center of
the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need to
be returned to a child restraint system.
WARNING- Shoulder
belts on small children
Never allow a shoulder belt to
be in contact with a child’s
neck or face while the vehicle
is in motion.
If seat belts are not properly
worn and adjusted on chil-
dren, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.

(Continued)
Never put a seat belt over your-
self and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into
the child causing serious inter-
nal injuries.
Never leave children unattend-
ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The car can heat up
very quickly, resulting in seri-
ous injuries to children inside.
Even very young children may
inadvertently cause the vehi-
cle to move, entangle them-
selves in the windows, or lock
themselves or others inside
the vehicle.
Never allow two children, or any
two persons, to use the same
seat belt.
Children often squirm and
reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride with
the shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in the rear seat.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never allow a child to stand-up
or kneel on the seat or floor of
a moving vehicle. During a col-
lision or sudden stop, the child
can be violently thrown against
the vehicle’s interior, resulting
in serious injury.
Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an
accident.
Seat belts can become very
hot, especially when the car is
parked in direct sunlight.
Always check seat belt buckles
before fastening them over a
child.
After an accident, have an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
check the child restraint sys-
tem, seat belt, tether anchor
and lower anchor.
If there is not enough space to
place the child restraint system
because of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint sys-
tem in the rear right seat.WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the
front passenger seat can be
forcefully struck by an inflat-
ing air bag resulting in seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
Always follow the child
restraint system manufactur-
er’s instructions for installa-
tion and use of the child
restraint.
Always make sure the child
seat is secured properly in the
car and your child is securely
restrained in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your
arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces cre-
ated during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and
throw the child against the
car’s interior.
