Power 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 windowsystem from the possibility of
damage, do not open or close two windows at the same time. Thi s
will also ensure the longevity of the fuse.
• Never try to operate the main switch on the driver' s door and
the individual door window s witch in opposing directions at
the same time. If this i s done, the
window will stop and cannot be opened or closed.
WARNING
• Make sure hands and face are
safely out of the way before clo s-
ing a window.
• Do not allow children to play with the power window s. Keep the dri-
ver’ s door power window lock
s witch in the LOCK pos ition
(depressed). Serious injury can
result from unintentional window
operation by the child.
• Do not extend face or arm s out-
side through the window opening
while driving.
•Alway s double check to make
sure all arms, hands and other
obstructions are safely out of the
way before closing a window.

Window opening and closing
The driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the win-
dows in the vehicle. To open or close a
window, press down or pull up the front
portion of the corresponding switch.
Automatic power window
Depressing or pulling up the power win-
dow switch momentarily to the second
detent position (

If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance
and will stop upward movement. The
window will then lower approximately
150 mm (5.9 inches) to allow the object
to be cleared.

A driver position memory system is pro-
vided to store and recall the seat and
outside mirror positions with a simple
button operation. By saving the desired
positions into the system memory, differ-
ent drivers can reposition the seat and
outside mirror based upon their driving
preference.
If battery is disconnected, the position
memory will be lost and the driving posi-
tions should be restored in the system.

Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your 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.
✽
NOTICE
The 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 SRS air bag warning light
➁ Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
➂ SRS air bag control module
SAFETY BELTS
2GHB3002
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
• The seat belt must be worn cor-
rectly.
• The seat belt must be adjusted to
the correct po sition.

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 i s
deployed, a loud nois e may be
heard and fine dus t, 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 period s.Wash your hands
and face thoroughly after an acci-
dent in which the air bag s and/or
pre-tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.
WARNING
• Because the sensor that activates the SRS air bag i s 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 ha s
been turned to the “ON” po sition,
then the light should go off.
• If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, thi s warn-
ing light will illuminate even if
there is no malfunction of SRS air
bag system. If the SRS air bag
warning light doe s not illuminate
when the ignition key i s 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, pleas e have an
authorized Kia dealer inspect the
pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS air
bag system as soon as possible.
WARNING
• Pre-tensioners are des igned to
operate 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 ins pect or
replace the pre-tens ioner seat
belts your self. This mu st 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.
