Hyundai Kona: Seat Belt Pretensioner / Description and operation
The Seat Belt Pretensioners (BPT) are installed inside Center Pillar (LH & RH).
When a vehicle crashes with a certain degree of frontal impact, the pretensioner
seat belt helps to reduce the severity of injury to the front seat occupants
by retracting the seat belt webbing. This prevents the front occupants from
thrusting forward and hitting the steering wheel or the instrument panel when
the vehicle crashes.
(Seat belt pretensioner may be activated in side impact collisions if the vehicle
has side airbag or crutain airbag.)

Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the Seat
Belt Pretensioner (BPT) even if you are using the specified
tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester,
the pretensioner will be ignited accidentally. This will result
in serious personal injury.
