Seats & Safety System
3-24
The sensor that activates the SRS control
module is connected with the
pretensioner seat belt. The SRS airbag
warning light on the instrument cluster
illuminates for about 3-6 seconds after
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position, and then turns off.
If the pretensioner is not working
properly, the warning light illuminates
even if the SRS airbag is not
malfunctioning. If the warning light does
not illuminate when starting the engine or
stays illuminated or illuminates while
driving, have the pretensioner seat belts
and/or SRS control module inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
• Pretensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions or rollover situations.
• When the pretensioner 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 conditions and are not
hazardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should not
be inhaled for prolonged periods. Wash
all exposed skin areas thoroughly after
an accident in which the pretensioner
seat belts were activated.
Additional seat belt safety
precautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used
during pregnancy. The best way to
protect your unborn child is to protect
yourself by always wearing the seat belt.
Pregnant women should always wear a
lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the shoulder
belt across your chest, routed between
your breasts and away from your neck.
Place the lap belt below your belly and
pull the shoulder portion so that it fits
SNUGLY across your hips and pelvic
bone, under the rounded part of your
belly.
• Pregnant women and patients are more
vulnerable to any impacts on the
abdomen during an abrupt stop or
collision. If you are in an accident while
pregnant, consult your doctor.
• To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to an unborn child during an
accident, pregnant women should
NEVER place the lap portion of the seat
belt above or over the area of the
abdomen where the unborn child is
located.
