BATTERY REPLACEMENTThe transmitter uses a 3-Volt, lithium-
type battery. The battery will normally
last for several years. If it ever needs
replacement, use the following
procedure:
1. Using a screwdriver, loosen the
screw on the back of the transmitter
and pry the back off with a thin tool.
2. Remove the battery from the back.
3. Insert a new battery, making sure the
“Plus(+)” side faces up, and
reassemble the transmitter.

WARNING - Power
Windows
Keep the power window lock
switch on the driver’s door in
the ON (depressed) position
except when someone is
operating a passenger door
window. Serious injury can
result from unintentional
window opera-tion, especially
to children.
Always double check to make
sure all arms, hands, and other
obstructions are safely out of
the way before closing a
window.✻
NOTICE
If you experience buffeting and
pulsation (wind shock) with either
side window open, you should open
the opposite window slightly to
reduce the condition.
WARNING - Passengers
Do not allow children to play
with the power windows. They
may seriously injure
themselves or others.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT
SEATBACK RECLINERTo recline the seatback;
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up on
the seatback recline lever located on
the outside of the seat, toward the rear.
2. Lean back on the seat and adjust the
back of the seat to the position you
desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the
seatback is locked in place. (The
lever MUST return to its orginal
position for the seatback to lock.)

CAUTION
Do not place anything under the
front seats. Loose objects might
interfere with the seat slide
mechanism or possibly roll out
from under the seat and interfere
with the operation of the brake,
clutch or accelerator foot pedals.
WARNING - Passengers
To reduce the risk of sliding
under the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt, and potentially
suffering serious personal injury
or death in the event of a
collision, do not use the front
seatback in a reclined position
while the vehicle is in motion. If a
seat is reclined, the occupant’s
hip could slide under or out of
the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt during a
collision. If that occurs, the
occupant may no longer be
properly restrained, and the
safety belt could apply restraint
forces to the unprotected
abdomen resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
Therefore, keep the seatbacks in
a comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in
motion.

3-22SAFETY BELTSPRE-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 occupant’s body in certain
frontal collisions.The pre-tensioner seat belts can be
activated alone or, with the airbag, where
the frontal collision is severe enough.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in
the same way as an Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When
the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the
occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal
collisions, the pretensioner will activate
and pull the seat belt into tighter contact
against the occupant’s body.The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following
components.
Their locations are shown in the
illustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light.
2. Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly.
3. SRS control module.

WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit
from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn
correctly.
2. The seat belt must be
adjusted to the correct
position.

✻
NOTICE
• Both the driver’s and front
passenger’s pre-tensioner seat
belts will be activated in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts can be
activated alone or, where the
frontal collision is severe enough,
with the airbags. The pre-
tensioners will be activated
under these conditions even if
the seat belts are not being worn
at the time of the collision.
• When the pre-tensioner seat
belts are activated, a loud noise
may be heard and fine dust,
which may appear to be smoke,
may be visible in the passenger
compartment. This dust is not
hazardous.
• Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation
and should not be breathed for
prolonged periods. Wash your
hands and face thoroughly after
an accident in which the
pretensioner seat belts were
activated.
CAUTION
• Because the sensor that activates
the SRS airbag is connected with
pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS
airbag warning light on the
instrument panel will blink for
approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has turned to the
“ON” or “ACC” positions. After
the six second period, the air bag
warning light will turn off.
• Please have the SRS airbag
system and the pre-tensioner
system inspected by an
Authorized Kia Dealer if the
following conditions occur:
1. The SRS warning light does
not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to
“ON” or “ACC”.
2. When the ignition switch is
turned to “ON” or “ACC” the
SRS warning light stays lit
after blinking for
approximately 6 second.
3. The SRS warning light illum-
inates while the vehicle is being
driven.
AIR
BAG
WARNING
Pre-tensioners are designed
to operate only one time.
After activation, pretensioner
seat belts must be replaced.
All seat belts, of any type,
should always be replaced
after they have been worn
during a collision.
The Pre-tensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms
become hot during
activation. Do not touch the
pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several
minutes after they have been
activated.
Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner
seat belts yourself. This
must be done by an
Authorized Kia Dealer.
Do not strike the pre-
tensioner seat belt
assemblies.

SAFETY BELT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMWe 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.Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:
• The seatback is upright.
• The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
• The lap belt portion of the safety belt
is snug and low on the hips.
• The shoulder belt portion of the
safety belt is snug against the chest.
• The knees are straight forward.
To help you remember to fasten your
safety belt, a warning light will flash and
a chime will sound.
See safety belt warning on page 4-22.
All seats have lap/shoulder belts.
The center rear seat has a lap/shoulder
belt.
Inertial locks in the safety belt retractors
allow all of the lap/shoulder safety 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 thevehicle, such as a strong stop, a sharp
turn, or a collision, 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.
The center rear seat safety belt does not
have an inertial lock so it is always in a
locked condition.
Whenever possible, use the center rear
seat position to install your child
restraint. The center rear seat is the best
position to install your child restraint.
3-25
WARNING
The driver and all passengers
should always use the safety
belts provided in order to
minimize the risk of severe
bodily injury.
