simple button operation. By saving
the desired positions into the system
memory, different drivers can reposi-
tion the seat and outside mirror
based upon their driving preference. If battery is disconnected, the posi-
tion memory will be lost and the driv-
ing positions should be restored in
the system.

Pre-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 occu-
pant’s body in certain frontal colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated alone or, together
with the airbags, where the frontal
collision is severe enough. The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration.

CAUTION
The pre-tensioner seat belt is
installed at the front seats, andthe sensor is equipped insidethe buckle, where presence ofpassenger is sensed by the fas-tening of the seat belts.Therefore, pre-tensioner will notactivate if the passenger is notfastened with the seat belts.Likewise, it will activate if buck-led even without a passenger inthe seat. Pre-tensioner seat beltis designed to activate when theseatbelt is in use. To ensure thepretensioner seatbelts activatein event of a possible seatbeltbuckle switch malfuntion, thesystem is designed to activateregardless of whether a seatbelt is in use or if no seat beltuse is detected within 6 sec-onds of turning the ignitionswitch ON.

Load limiter When the pre-tentioner activates, if
the system senses excessive seat
belt tension on the driver or passen-
ger’s seat belt, the load limiter inside
the pre-tensioner will release some
of the pressure on the affected seat
belt.
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from
a pre-tensioner seat belt:
The seat belt must be worn
correctly.
The seat belt must be adjusted
to the correct position.
CAUTION
When the pre-tensioner seat
belts are activated, a loud noisemay be heard and fine dust,which may appear to be smoke,may be visible in the passengercompartment and are not toxic.
Although, it is harmless, the finedust may cause skin irritationand should not be breathed forprolonged periods. Wash yourhands and face thoroughly afteran accident in which the airbagsand/or pre-tensioner seat beltswere activated.

WARNING
Do not strike the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies.
Do not attempt to service or
repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt system in any manner.
Improper handling of the pre-
tensioner seat belt assem-
blies, and failure to heed the
warnings not to strike, modify,
inspect, place, service or
repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies may lead to
improper operation or inad-
vertent activation causing
serious injury.
Always wear the seat belts
when driving or riding in a
motor vehicle.
CAUTION
Because the sensor that acti-
vates the SRS airbag is con-nected with pre-tensioner seatbelt, the SRS airbag warninglight on the instrument panelwill blink or illuminate forapproximately 6 seconds afterthe ignition key has beenturned to the “ON”position,
then the light should go off.
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, thiswarning light will illuminateeven if there is no malfunctionof SRS airbag system. If theSRS airbag warning light doesnot illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to “ON”,or
if it remains illuminated after blinking or illuminating forapproximately 6 seconds, or ifit illuminates while the vehicleis being driven, please havean authorized Kia dealerinspect the pre-tensioner seatbelt or SRS airbag system assoon as possible.
WARNING
Pre-tensioners are designed
to operate once. After activa-
tion, 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.
Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. This must be
done by an authorized Kia

Safety belt restraint system
We strongly recommend that the
driver and all passengers be proper-
ly restrained at all times by using the
safety belts provided with the vehi-
cle. Proper use of the safety belts
decreases the risk of severe injury or
death in accidents or sudden stops.
In most states, and in Canada, the
law requires their use.
All seats have lap/shoulder belts.
Inertial locks in the safety belt retrac-
tors allow all of the lap/shoulder safe-
ty belts to remain unlocked during
normal vehicle operation. This allows
the occupants some freedom of
movement and increased comfort
while using the safety belts. If a force
is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a colli-
sion, the safety belt retractors will
automatically lock the safety belts.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 corners.
Always use the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
Never install a child restraint system
in the front passenger position, as an
inflating airbag could cause serious
or fatal injury to a child in that posi-
tion.
WARNING
- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious
or fatal injury in an accident, the
driver and all passengers
should use the appropriate
safety restraints for their age
and size. The presence of
airbags does not change the
need to be properly restrained
by a safety belt or size-appropri-
ate child restraint. In fact,
airbags are designed to work
the best when passengers are
correctly restrained in the vehi-
cle. Be sure you are familiar
with the information in this sec-
tion, including the information
on infant and child restraints.
Read the safety warnings on the
sun visors of your vehicle also.
