Knowing your vehicle63Battery replacementTransmitter uses a 3 volt lithium battery
which will normally last for several years.
When replacement is necessary, use the
following procedure.
1. Insert a slim tool into the slot and gen-tly pry open the transmitter’s center
cover (
➀).
2. Replace the battery with a new one. When replacing the battery, make sure
the battery’s positive “+” symbol faces
up as indicated in the illustration.
3. Install the battery in the reverse order of removal.
✽ ✽NOTICEThe keyless entry system transmitter is
designed to give you years of troublefree
use, however it can malfunction if
exposed to moisture or static electricity.
If you are unsure how to use your trans-
mitter or replace the battery, contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
For replacement of transmitters, see an
Authorized Kia Dealer for reprogram-
ming.

CAUTION
 Using the wrong battery can
cause the transmitter to malfunc-tion. Be sure to use the correctbattery.
 To avoid damaging the transmit- ter, don't drop it, get it wet, orexpose it to heat or sunlight.

3Power windows The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls that door’s window.
However, the driver has a power window
lock switch which can block the operation
of the passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side windows
opened, you should open the opposite
window slightly to reduce the condition.
CAUTION
 To prevent the power window
system from the possibility ofdamage, do not open or close twowindows at the same time. Thiswill also ensure the longevity of the fuse.
 Never try to operate the main switch on the driver's door andthe individual door windowswitch in opposing directions atthe same time. If this is done, the window will stop and cannot beopened or closed.
WARNING
 Make sure hands and face are safely out of the way before clos-
ing a window.
 Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keep the dri-
ver’s door power window lock
switch in the LOCK position
(depressed). Serious injury can
result from unintentional window
operation by the child.
 Do not extend face or arms out- side through the window opening
while driving.
 Always double check to make sure all arms, hands and other
obstructions are safely out of the
way before closing a window.

Storing and recalling with trans-
mitterStoring with the transmitterTurn the ignition switch to LOCK from ON
and lock all the doors using the transmit-
ter. The seat and outside rearview mirror
positions will be stored in the system
memory.
Driver’s position recalling with trans-mitterUnlock the door with the transmitter,
positions stored in the system memory
will be recalled automatically.
If using two transmitters, recalling times
may vary because stored positions in
each transmitter may be different.
Example) If doors are locked with trans-
mitter A and unlocked with transmitter B,
the positions memorized when unlocked
with transmitter B will be recalled and
may take slightly longer than if unlocked
with transmitter A.

3Pre-tensioner seat beltYour vehicle is equipped with driver’ s and
front passenger’ s pre-tensioner seat
belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is
to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant’ s body in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat
belts can be activated alone or, together
with the air bags, where the frontal colli-
sion is severe enough.
✽ ✽ NOTICEThe pre-tensioner seat belt is installed at
the front seats, and the sensor is
equipped inside the buckle, where pres-
ence of passenger is sensed by the fas-
tening of the seat belts. Therefore, pre-
tensioner will not activate if the passen-
ger is not fastened with the seat belts.
Likewise, it will activate if buckled even
without a passenger in the seat. Pre-ten-
sioner seat belt is designed to activate
when the seatbelt is in use. To ensure
the pretensioner seatbelts activate in
event of a possible seatbelt buckle
switch malfunction, the system is
designed to activate regardless of
whether a seat belt is in use or if no seat
belt use is detected within 6 seconds of
turning the ignition switch ON.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion.➀

Knowing your vehicle
Load limiter When the pre-tentioner activates, if the
system senses excessive seat belt ten-
sion on the driver or passenger’s seat
belt, the load limiter inside the pre-ten-
sioner will release some of the pressure
on the affected seat belt.
WARNING
When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated and the air bag is
deployed, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment and
are not toxic.
Although, it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash your hands
and face thoroughly after an acci-
dent in which the air bags and/or
pre-tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.
WARNING
 Because the sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with
pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS
air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will blink or illu-
minate for approximately 6 sec-
onds after the ignition key has
been turned to the “ON” position,
then the light should go off.
 If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warn-
ing light will illuminate even if
there is no malfunction of SRS air
bag system. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to
“ON” , or if it remains illuminated
after blinking or illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, please have an
authorized Kia dealer inspect the
pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS air
bag system as soon as possible.
WARNING
 Pre-tensioners are designed tooperate once. 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 collision.
 Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. This must be done
by an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
The pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
bly mechanisms become hot during
activation. Do not touch the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt assembly for sever-
al minutes after they have been acti-
vated.

Knowing your vehicle
Since the inertial locks do not require a
collision in order to lock up, you may
become aware of the safety belts locking
while braking or going around sharp cor-
ners.The rear safety belts use a special auto-
lock feature designed to allow a child
restraint to be used without an added
locking clip. These safety belt positions
normally lock only under extreme or
emergency conditions (emergency lock
mode). However, they can be adjusted so
that they remain in fixed and locked when
a child restraint system is in place. (Use
this auto-lock mode only to secure a child
restraint, never for passengers restrained
by the safety belts.) Page 3-46 gives
instructions on placing the safety belt in
the auto lock mode.
The driver’
s safety belt can only operate
in the emergency lock mode. Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:

The seatback is upright.
 The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
 The lap belt is snug across the hips.
 The shoulder belt is snug across the
chest.
 The knees are straight forward.
To help you remember to fasten your
safety belt, a warning light will come on
and a chime will sound. See Safety Belt
Warning Light and Chime on page 3-35.
WARNING
Always use the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
Never install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.
WARNING
- After a colli- sion
 Lap/shoulder belt assemblies
may be stretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress and
forces of a collision.
 The entire restraint system should be inspected following
any collision. All belts, retractors,
anchors and hardware damaged
by a collision should be replaced
before the vehicle is operated
again.

Restraint of larger children As children grow, they may need to use
new child-restraint systems, including
larger child seats or booster seats, which
are appropriate for their increased size.
A child who has outgrown available child-
restraint systems should use the belts
provided in the vehicle. When seated in
the rear outboard seats, the child should
be restrained by the lap/shoulder belt.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es 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 may need to be returned to
a child restraint system. In addition, after-
market devices are available from inde-
pendent manufacturers which help pull
the shoulder belt down and away from
the child’ s face or neck.
Larger children should use one of the
seat belts provided.
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 safety belts are not properly worn and adjusted, there is a risk
of death or serious injury to a
child.
WARNING
- Hot metalparts
Safety belts and seats can become
hot in a vehicle that has been
closed during warm/hot weather;
they could burn a child. Check seat
covers and buckles before you
place a child anywhere near them.
