Disarmed stage
The system will be disarmed when
the doors are unlocked by depress-
ing the unlock button on the transmit-
ter or unlocked with the ignition key.
After depressing unlock button, the
hazard warning lights will blink twice
to indicate that the system is dis-

door is not opened within 30 sec-
onds, the system will be rearmed.
If the system is not disarmed with the
ignition key or transmitter, insert the
key in the ignition switch, turn the key
to the ON position and wait for 30
seconds. Then the system will be dis-
armed.Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehi-
cle use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised
of a small transponder in the ignition
key, and antenna coil in the key cylin-
der and Immobilizer Control Unit (or
Smartra Unit).
With this system, whenever you insert
your ignition key into the ignition
switch and turn it to ON, the antenna
coil in the ignition switch receives a
signal from the transponder in the
ignition key and then sends the signal
to the ECU (Engine Control Unit).
The ECU checks the signal whether
the ignition key is valid.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.

WARNING- Driver
responsibility for front seat
passenger
Riding in a vehicle with a front
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a front seat is reclined
during an accident, the occu-
pant’s hips may slide under the
lap portion of the safety belt
applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious
or fatal internal injuries could
result. The driver must advise
the front passengers to keep the
seatback in a comfortably
upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.

Pre-tensioner safety belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
safety belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that excess
slack is taken up in certain frontal
collisions. The pre-tensioners may
activate along with the front airbags
in frontal collisions based on angle of
impact, seat belt usage and impact
severity.The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration.
➀ SRS airbag warning light
➁ Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
➂ SRS airbag control module

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.

The rear 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
(emergency 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.) Page 3-48 gives
instructions on placing the safety belt
in the auto lock mode.
The drivers safety belt can only oper-
ate 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 blink.
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, retrac-
tors, 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
provided for the cargo area.
Persons riding in the vehicle
without a fastened safety belt
are much more likely to suffer
serious bodily injury or death
during an accident.
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 immediate-
ly. Never drive or ride with a
twisted or jammed safety belt.

If the driver's safety belt is not fas-
tened when the key is turned ON or
if it is unfastened after the key is ON,
the safety belt warning chime will
sound for approximately 6 seconds.
At this time, if the safety belt is fas-
tened, the chime will stop at once.

Restraint of larger children
As children grow, they may need to
use new child-restraint systems,
including larger child seats or boost-
er 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
touches 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 need
to be returned to a child restraint sys-
tem. In addition, after-market devices
are available from independent man-
ufacturers which help pull the shoul-
der belt down and away from the
child’s face or neck.WARNING- Infants and
young children
Infants and young children are at much greater risk of serious
injury or death in an accident
or sudden stop if they are unre-
strained or restrained improp-
erly. Follow all instructions in
this section and the instruc-
tions that came with an
approved child safety system.
The child restraint must be cor-
rectly installed in the vehicle,
and the child must be correctly
placed in the child restraint.
All children under 12 are safest in the back seat.
Never install a child or infant seat in the front passenger
position. The baby will be
injured or killed by the airbag
if it deploys.
Never allow a child to stand or
kneel on the seat of a moving
vehicle.
WARNING- Children on laps
Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms in a moving vehi-
cle.
Even a very strong person can-
not hold onto a child in the
event of even a minor collision.
CAUTION - Hot metal parts
Safety belts and seats canbecome hot in a vehicle that hasbeen closed during warm/hotweather; they could burn achild. Check seat covers andbuckles before you place a childanywhere near them.
