The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls the door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition key is removed or turned
to the ACC or LOCK position.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the power windows cannot
be operated even within the 30 sec-
onds after the ignition key removal.
While driving, if you notice buffeting
and pulsation (wind shock) with
either side window open, you should
open the opposite window slightly to
reduce the condition.
Window opening and closing
The driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the
windows in the vehicle.
To open or close a window, press
down or pull up the front portion of
the corresponding switch to the first
detent position (5).
Auto down window (if equipped)
(Driver’s window)
Depressing the power window switch
momentarily to the second detent
position (6) completely lowers the
driver’s window even when the
switch is released. To stop the win-
dow at the desired position while the
window is in operation, pull up the
switch momentarily to the opposite
direction of the window movement.
If the power window is not operated
correctly, the automatic power win-
dow system must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.

WARNING
Driving or riding in a vehicle
with a front seatback reclined
could lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. If a front
seat is reclined during an acci-
dent, the occupant’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of
the safety belt applying great
force to the unprotected
abdomen. Serious or fatal inter-
nal injuries could result. The
driver must advise the front pas-
senger to keep the seatbacks in
comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in

Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your 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
can be activated together with the air
bags, where the frontal collision is
severe enough.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 fastening 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 buckled
even without a passenger in the
seat. Pre-tensioner seat belt is
designed to activate when the seat-
belt is in use. To ensure the preten-
sioner seatbelts activate in event of a
possible seatbelt buckle switch mal-
function, 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 seconds of turning
the ignition switch ON.The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration.
(1)SRS airbag warning light
(2)Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
(3)SRS airbag control module

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 air
bags and/or pre-tensioner seat
belts were activated.
CAUTION
• Because the sensor that acti-
vates the SRS air bag is con-
nected with pre-tensioner seat
belt, the SRS air bag 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 air bag system. If the
SRS air bag warning light
does not illuminate when the
ignition 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 air bag system as
soon as possible.
