Power windows (if equipped)
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls that door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side window
open, you should open the opposite
window slightly to reduce the condi-
tion.✽ ✽
NOTICETo prevent the power window sys-
tem from the possibility of damage,
do not open or close two windows at
the same time. This will also ensure
the longevity of the fuse.
Manual windows (if equipped)Use the window crank to open and
close each window.
CAUTION
Make sure heads and hands
are safely out of the way
before closing a window.
Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keep
the driver’s door power win-
dow lock switch in the LOCK
position (depressed). Serious
injury can result from uninten-
tional window operation by
the child.
Do not extend face or arms outside through the window
opening while driving.
Always double check to make sure all arms, hands and other
obstructions are safely out of
the way before closing a win-
dow.

Warming the driver’s seat
(if equipped)
The front seats can be electrically
heated individually when the ignition
switch is ON. When you depress the
seat warmer switch, a thermostat
regulates seat temperature. To deac-
tivate the heating system, depress
the switch once again.
✽ ✽NOTICE The seat warmer will not operate
if ambient temperature is above
37±3 °C (98.5±5.5°F).
If the seat warmer doesn't work when the ambient temperature is
below 28±3 °C (82.5±5.5°F), have
the system checked by an author-
ized dealer.
When cleaning the seats, do not use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Doing so may damage
the surface of the heater or seats.
To prevent overheating the seat warmer, do not place blankets,
cushions or seat covers on the
seats while the seat warmer is in
operation.
Do not place heavy or sharp objects on seats equipped with
seat warmers. Damage to the seat
warming components could occur.
WARNING
Passengers should use extreme
caution when using seat warm-
ers due to the possibility of
excess heating or burns. In par-
ticular, the following types of
passengers should exercise
extreme care:
1. Infants, children, elderly or
handicapped persons, or hos-
pital outpatients
2. Persons with sensitive skin or those that burn easily
3. Fatigued individuals
4. Intoxicated individuals
5. Individuals taking medication that can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness (sleeping pills,
cold tablets, etc.)

Pre-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 occu-
pant’s body in certain frontal colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
will activate together with the
airbags, where the frontal collision is
severe enough.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
SAFETY BELTS
2GHB3002
CAUTION
The pre-tensioner seat belt is
installed at the front seats, and
the sensor is equipped inside
the buckle, where presence of
passenger is sensed by the fas-
tening of the seat belts.
Therefore, pre-tensioner will not
activate if the passenger is not
fastened with the seat belts.
Likewise, it will activate if buck-
led even without a passenger in
the seat. Pre-tensioner 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 sec-
onds of turning the ignition
switch ON.

WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from
a pre-tensioner seat belt:
The seat belt must be worn
correctly.
The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position.
CAUTION
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 and are not toxic.
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 airbags
and/or pre-tensioner seat belts
were activated.
CAUTION
Because the sensor that acti-vates the SRS airbag is con-
nected with pre-tensioner seat
belt, the SRS airbag warning
light on the instrument panel
will blink or illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has been
turned to the “ON” position,
then the light should go off.
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this
warning light will illuminate
even if there is no malfunction
of SRS airbag system. If the
SRS airbag warning light does
not illuminate when the igni-
tion key is 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, please have
an authorized Kia dealer
inspect the pre-tensioner seat
belt or SRS airbag system as
soon as possible.
