SEAT BELTS
Seat belt restraint system
WARNING
For maximum restraint systemprotection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
vehicle is moving.
Seat belts are most effective when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
Children age 12 and under must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated in
the front seat, he/she must be
properly belted and the seat
should be moved as far back as
possible.
Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause seri-
ous injuries in a crash. The
shoulder belt should be posi-
tioned midway over your shoul-
der across your collarbone.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Avoid wearing twisted seatbelts. A twisted belt can't do
its job well. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be
sure the belt webbing is
straight and not twisted.
Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. If
the belt webbing or hardware
is damaged, replace it.
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or
the pelvis, chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap
section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent
with comfort, to provide the pro-
tection for which they have been
designed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
A slack belt will greatly reduce
the protection afforded to the
wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemicals,
and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried
out using mild soap and water.
The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed, con-
taminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the
entire assembly after it has been
worn in a severe impact even if
damage to the assembly is not
obvious.
Belts should not be worn with
straps twisted. Each belt assem-
bly must only be used by one
occupant; it is dangerous to put
a belt around a child being car-
ried on the occupant's lap.

Safety features of your vehicle
Occupant Detection System
(ODS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an
occupant detection system in the
front passenger's seat.The occupant detection system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air
bag should be enabled (may inflate)
or not. Only the front passenger front
air bag is controlled by the Occupant
Classification System.
(Continued)
The SRS can function only
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position. If the SRS air
bag warning light does not illu-
minate, or continuously
remains on after illuminating
for about 6 seconds when the
ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, or after the
engine is started, comes on
while driving, the SRS is not
working properly. If this
occurs, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position and remove the
ignition switch. Never remove
or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition switch
is in the ON position. Failure to
observe this warning will cause
the SRS air bag warning light to
illuminate.
WARNING
Do not put anything in front of the
passenger air bag indicator.
