Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.

objects placed in the rear seats,
since those may hit the front seat
occupants in a frontal collision.
CAUTION

transaxle is in P and the parking
brake is applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle to
move if shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.

3A driver position memory system is pro-
vided to store and recall the driver seat,
outside rearview mirror and adjustable
pedal positions with a simple button
operation. By saving the desired posi-
tions into the system memory, different
drivers can reposition the driver seat,
outside rearview mirror and adjustable
pedal based upon their driving prefer-
ence.
If battery is disconnected, the position
memory will be lost and the driving posi-
tions should be restored in the system.

to positions comfortable for the driver.
3. Press M button on the control panel. The system will beep once.
4. Press one of the memory buttons (1 or 2) within 5 seconds after pressing the
M button. The system will beep twice
when memory has been successfully
stored.
Recalling positions from memory1. Shift the transaxle lever into P whilethe ignition switch is ON.

driver seat, outside rearview mirror
and adjustable pedal will automatically
adjust to the stored positions.
Adjusting one of the control knobs for the
driver seat, outside rearview mirror and
adjustable pedal while the system is
recalling the stored positions will cause
the movement for that component to stop
and move in the direction that the control
knob is moved. Other components will
continue position recalling.

Safety belt restraint system We strongly recommend that the driver
and all passengers be properly
restrained at all times by using the safety
belts provided with the vehicle. 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 retractors allow all
of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain
unlocked during normal vehicle opera-
tion. 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 collision,
the safety belt retractors will automatical-
ly 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 cor-
ners.
Always use the rear seat position(s) to
install your child restraint(s).
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
air bags does not change the need
to be properly restrained by a safe-
ty belt or size-appropriate child
restraint. In fact, air bags are
designed to work the best when
passengers are correctly restrained
in the vehicle.
 Be sure you are familiar with the
information in this section,
including the information on
infant and child restraints.
 Read the safety warnings on the sun visors of your vehicle also.
WARNING
- Child restraint
in front seat
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
 Adjust the pedals after parking
the vehicle on level ground. Never
attempt to adjust the pedals while
the vehicle is moving.
 Never adjust the pedals with your foot on the accelerator pedal as
this may result in increasing the
engine speed and acceleration.
 Make sure that you can fully depress the brake pedal before
driving. Otherwise, you may not
be able to hold down the brake
pedal firmly in an emergency
stop.
SAFETY BELTS

359
Features of your vehicle
WARNING
- Belt use
Safety belts must be used correctly
to work properly in an accident.
Each seating position in your vehi-
cle has a specific safety belt assem-
bly that includes a buckle and
tongue designed to be used togeth-
er.
Failure to heed these warnings and
follow these instructions will
increase the risk and severity of
injuries and the likelihood of death
in an accident.(Continued)
WARNING
- Twisted belts
A twisted or jammed safety belt
cannot restrain you properly. If you
cannot untwist or unjam the safety
belt, have an authorized Kia dealer
service it immediately. Never drive
or ride with a twisted or jammed
safety belt.
The rear (or front passenger) safety belts
use a special auto-lock feature designed
to allow a child restraint to be used in
these positions without an added locking
clip. They normally lock only under
extreme or emergency conditions (emer-
gency lock mode). However they can be
adjusted so that they remain fixed and
locked when a child restraint system is
placed in these positions. (Use this auto-
lock mode only to secure a child
restraint, never for passengers restrained
by the safety belts.)
The drivers 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 (notslouched).
 The lap belt is snug across the hips.
 The shoulder belt is snug across the chest.
 The knees are straight forward.
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.
WARNING -
Cargo area
Passengers should never be
allowed to ride in the cargo area of
a vehicle. No safety belts are pro-
vided for the cargo area. Persons
riding in the vehicle without a fas-
tened safety belt are much more
likely to suffer serious bodily injury
or death during an accident.

Safety belt warning light and chimeIf the driver's safety belt is not fastened
when the key is turned ON or if it is dis-
connected after the key is turned ON, the
safety belt warning light will blink until the
belt is fastened.
If the driver's safety belt is not fastened
when the key is turned ON or if it is
unfastened after the key is ON, the safe-
ty belt warning chime will sound for
approximately 6 seconds.
(Continued)
 Use the shoulder portion of the
safety belt on the outside shoul-
der only. Never wear the shoulder
portion under the arm or place it
between your back and seatback.
 Never swing the safety belt around your neck to fit over the
inside shoulder.
 Never wear the shoulder portion of the safety belt across the neck
or face.
 Wear the lap portion as low as possible. Be sure that the lap belt
fits snugly around the hips.
Never wear a lap portion of a
lap/shoulder belt over your waist;
it should always go over the
stronger area of your hips.
 Never use a single safety belt for more than one person.
 The front seatbacks should always remain in a comfortable,
upright position when the vehicle
is moving.
WARNING
- Safety beltcare
 A damaged belt may not give you
the protection you need in an
accident.
 Inspect your safety belts periodi- cally for excessive wear or dam-
age. Pull out each belt fully and
look for fraying, cuts, burns or
other damage. Pull the safety belt
out and let it retract a number of
times. Make sure that the
lap/shoulder belts return smooth-
ly and easily into the retractor.
 Check the latches to make sure they latch and release without
interference or delay.
 Never close the doors on any part of the lap or shoulder belt.
 Any belt not in good condition or in good working order should be
promptly replaced.
WARNING
Never close the doors on any part
of the lap or shoulder belt. It can
damage the safety belt or buckle
which could increase the risk of
injury in case of an accident.

Lap/shoulder beltTo fasten the lap/shoulder belt:
1. Grasp the buckle and tongue plate.
2. Slowly pull the lap/shoulder belt outfrom the retractor. 3. Insert the tongue plate (1) into the
open end of the buckle (2) until an
audible “click” is heard, indicating the
belt is locked in the buckle. 4. Position the lap portion (2) of the belt
across your lap as LOW ON THE HIPS
as possible to reduce the risk of sliding
under it during an accident. Adjust the
belt to a SNUG FIT by pulling up on
the shoulder portion (1) of the safety
belt. The belt retractor is designed to
take up excess webbing automatically
and to maintain tension on the belt. For
your safety, do not put any excess
slack into the safety belt at any loca-
tion.
