Seat belt restraint system
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body, and should
be worn low across the front of the pelvis,
chest and shoulders, as applicable;
wearing the lap section of the belt across
the abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly
as possible, consistent with comfort, to
provide the protection for which they
have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the pro-
tection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contami-
nation of the webbing with polishes, oils
and chemicals, and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged. For maximum restraint system protec-
tion, the seat belts must always be
used whenever the vehicle is moving.
A properly positioned shoulder belt
should be positioned midway over your
shoulder across your collarbone.
Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. See child restraint
system section for further discussion.
SEAT BELTS
WARNING- Shoulder belt
Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back. An
improperly positioned shoulder
belt cannot protect the occupant in
a crash.
WARNING- Damaged seatbelt
Replace the entire seat belt assem-
bly if any part of the webbing or
hardware is damaged as you can
no longer be sure that a damaged
seat belt will provide protection in a
crash.

Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected peri-
odically for wear or damage of any kind.
Any damaged parts should be replaced
as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.
If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire in-use seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an accident.
This should be done even if no damage
is visible. Additional questions concern-
ing seat belt operation should be directed
to an authorized Kia dealer.

Safety features of your vehicle
For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.
Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency lock mode), you must
manually change these seat belts to the
auto lock mode to secure a child
restraint.
If the seat belt does not operate as
described in this section, have the sys-
tem checked immediately by your author-
ized Kia dealer.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If the vehicle headrest prevents proper
installation of a child seat (as described
in the child seat system manual), the
headrest of the respective seating posi-
tion shall be readjusted or entirely
removed.
Lacing a passenger seat belt into the
auto lock mode
The auto lock mode will help prevent the
normal movement of the child in the vehi-
cle from causing the seat belt to loosen
and compromise the child restraint sys-
tem. To secure a child restraint system,
use the following procedure.
WARNING- Child seat
installation
Always follow the instructions provided by the child restraint
system manufacturer. Child
restraint system manufacturers
know their products best.
Failure to observe this manual's instructions regarding child
restraint system and the instruc-
tions provided with the child
restraint system could result in
the improper installation of the
child restraint system which may
reduce the protection to your
child in a crash or a sudden stop.
