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.

Load limiter (if equipped)
When the pre-tentioner activates, if the
system senses excessive seat belt ten-
sion on the driver or passenger’s seat
belt, the load limiter inside the pre-ten-
sioner will release some of the pressure
on the affected seat belt.WARNING- Air bag/pre-
tensioner warning light
If the SRS air bag warning light
does not illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to “ON”, or if it
remains illuminated after approxi-
mately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates
while the vehicle is being driven,
please have an authorized Kia deal-
er inspect the pre-tensioner and air
bag system as soon as possible.

nism may become hot during acti-
vation. Do not touch the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt assembly for sever-
al minutes after they have been acti-
vated.
WARNING
If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat
belt must be discarded, contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING- Replacing
used pre-tensioners

SRS care
Your Supplemental Restraint System is
virtually maintenance-free. There are no
parts which you can service.
You must have the system serviced
under the following circumstances:
If an air bag ever inflates, the air bagmust be replaced. Do not try to remove
or discard the air bag by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
If the air bag warning indicator light alerts you to a problem, have the air
bag system checked as soon as possi-
ble. Otherwise, your air bag system
may be ineffective.
When repairing or scrapping thevehicles
Repairing steering wheel, instrument panel, center console or roofs, or
installing car audio around center con-
sole or painting front metal sheet could
disable the air bag system. Have them
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
When leaving the vehicle at an autho- rized Kia dealer, inform the facility that
the vehicle is equipped with air bag
system, and leave the owner’s manual
in the vehicle.
Since air bag system contains explo- sive chemical substances, contact an
authorized Kia dealer when scrapping
the vehicle.
WARNING- No mainte-
nance or repair
Do not modify your steering
wheel, seat or any other part of
the Supplemental Restraint
System. Modification could make
the system inoperable.
Do not work on the system’s com- ponents or wiring. This could
cause the air bags to inflate inad-
vertently, possibly seriously injur-
ing someone. Working on the sys-
tem could also disable the sys-
tem so that the air bags would not
deploy in a collision.
Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the
steering wheel must be per-
formed by a qualified Kia techni-
cian. Improper handling of the air
bag system may result in serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING- No modifica-tion
Do not modify any part of the air
bag system. Modification could
make the air bag system ineffective
or could cause unnecessary
deployment.

All warning lights are checked by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). Any light that does not illuminate
should be checked by an Authorized Kia
Dealer.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that all warning lights are off. If any
are still on, this indicates a situation that
needs attention. When releasing the
parking brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.

approximately 6 seconds each time you
turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion.

minates while the vehicle is being driven,
see an authorized Kia Dealer for immedi-
ate service.
Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) warning light
This light illuminates if the key is turned
to ON and goes off in approximately 3
seconds if the system is operating nor-
mally.
If the light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS system. Contact
an authorized Kia dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
Electronic brake force
distribution (EBD) sys-
tem warning light
If two warning lights illumi-
nate at the same time while
driving, your vehicle has a
problem with ABS and EBD
system.
In this case, your ABS system and regu-
lar brake system may not work normally.
Have the vehicle checked by an
Authorized Kia Dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
WARNINGS AND INDICATORS
WARNING
