Warning!
- THE CHILD SEAT MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT. Installation of a nursery "cradles" or a child seat in the front seat is not permitted. If the front passenger airbag is deployed in the event of an accident, it could seriously injure an infant or child in a carrycot or child seat.
- Children who have become too small for child seats should be seated in the rear seats and fastened with a combined lap-shoulder seat belt.
- Always make sure that the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder side seat belt is positioned in the middle of the shoulder and does not touch the neck. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may help the seat belt fit better. The shoulder section of the lap/shoulder side seat belt and the rear seat center lap belt must always be positioned as low and as tight as possible.
- If the child seat cannot be fastened correctly with the seat belt, it is recommended to use a child seat pad to increase the height of the child so that the child can be properly fastened with the seat belt.
- Do not allow the child to stand on the seat or be held.
- The use of child seats that are attached to the back of the seat is unacceptable; such devices do not provide the necessary safety in the event of a traffic accident.
- Holding a child in your arms while the vehicle is in motion is unacceptable; the child may be seriously or even fatally injured in the event of an accident or sudden braking. Your hands will not replace the child seat, even if you are wearing a seat belt.
Seat belt with pretensioner (vehicles without airbags)
Under normal circumstances, a pretensioner seat belt works in the same way as a retractable seat belt. (The belt is locked in the position in which it is in the event of sudden braking of the vehicle. It will also lock up if you try to pull it out too quickly from the retractor). However, at the moment of a collision, the seat belt pretensioner instantly retracts the seat belt to firmly secure the occupant with the seat belt and take up any slack in the belt.
Warning! When the seat belt pretensioner deploys, a small amount of smoke is emitted and a strong pop occurs. This cotton is normal and not dangerous.
Warning! The pretensioner seat belt is specifically designed to deploy only in a moderate to severe impact, and only once.
Warning! If a pretensioner seat belt has been deployed, do not attempt to replace it yourself. This must be done only at an authorized Hyundai dealer.
Seat belt with pretensioner for vehicles with airbags
Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with pretensioner seat belts for the driver and front passenger. The purpose of such a belt is to provide a clear fixation of the passenger in some cases during a frontal impact. The seat belt pretensioner can deploy alone or in conjunction with the airbags in the event of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.
Front seat belts with pretensioners
The pretensioner seat belt operates in the same way as the automatic retractor seat belt. In the event of a sudden stop of the vehicle, or when the passenger tries to pull out the belt too quickly, the retractor mechanism will automatically lock the seat belt. However, in the event of a moderate to severe frontal impact, the seat belt pretensioner will instantly retract the seat belt.
Location of elements of the seat belt system with pretensioner:
1 – control lamp SRS;
2 - seat belt pretensioner assembly;
3 - electronic control unit SRS.
Warning! To achieve the best possible performance of a pretensioner seat belt: the seat belt must be properly fastened; the seat belt must be properly adjusted.
Warning! The pretensioner seat belts for the driver and front passenger will deploy in the event of a frontal impact of sufficient severity. The seat belt pretensioners can deploy alone or in conjunction with the airbags in the event of a frontal impact of sufficient severity. The seat belt pretensioners will deploy in the event of a severe frontal impact, even if the seat belt is not fastened.
Warning! When the seat belt pretensioners deploy, a small amount of smoke is emitted and a strong bang occurs. These phenomena are normal phenomena and are not dangerous.
Warning! Although this smoke is not poisonous, it should not be inhaled as it can cause irritation, coughing or choking if you inhale it for a long time. Wash your face and hands thoroughly after deploying the seat belt pretensioners.
Warning! Since the SRS air bag activation sensor is connected to the seat belt pretensioner circuit, the SRS warning lamp in the instrument cluster will flash for 6 seconds after the ignition key is turned to "ON" (On) or "ACC", after which it should turn off.
Warning! If the seat belt pretensioners are not working properly, the warning light will illuminate even if the SRS airbag system is in good condition.
You should immediately contact an authorized Hyundai dealer for verification if, when turning the ignition key to the "ON" (On) or "ACC", SRS additional passive safety warning lamp (airbags) does not light up, does not go out after about 6 seconds, or lights up while the vehicle is moving.
Warning! Seat belt pretensioners are designed for single use. Once the seat belt pretensioners have been activated, they will not work again. All seat belts should be replaced after an accident, regardless of seat belt type.
Warning! After the pretensioner assembly is deployed, some parts of the pretensioner will be hot. Do not touch them after the pretensioner has deployed for a few minutes.
Warning! Do not attempt to test or replace pretensioner seat belt mechanisms yourself. This must be done by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
Warning! Do not strike the pretensioner assemblies.
Warning! Do not attempt to service or repair the pretensioner seat belt system yourself.
Warning! Mishandling of the pretensioner seat belt assembly, failure to strike, modify, inspect and replace, service or repair the pretensioner seat belt assembly may cause the belts to malfunction or unintentionally deploy the belts and cause serious injury.
Warning! Always fasten your seat belts before driving.
