Safety belt restraint system
We 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. In most states, and in
Canada, the law requires their use. All seats have lap/shoulder belts. Inertial
locks in the safety belt retractors allow all
of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain
unlocked during normal vehicle opera-
tion. This allows the occupants some
freedom of movement and increased
comfort while using the safety belts. If a
force is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a collision,
the safety belt retractors will automatical-
ly 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 cor-
ners.
Always use the rear seat position(s) to
install your child restraint(s).
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 (not
slouched).
The lap belt is snug across the hips.
The shoulder belt is snug across the chest.
The knees are straight forward.
SAFETY BELTS
WARNING- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious or
fatal injury in an accident, the driver
and all passengers should use the
appropriate safety restraints for
their age and size. The presence of
air bags does not change the need
to be properly restrained by a safe-
ty belt or size-appropriate child
restraint. In fact, air bags are
designed to work the best when
passengers are correctly restrained
in the vehicle.
Be sure you are familiar with the information in this section,
including the information on
infant and child restraints.
Read the safety warnings on the sun visors of your vehicle also.
WARNING- Child restraint
in front seat
Never install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.

Features of your vehicle
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
4. Emergency fastening device (EFD)
✽ ✽NOTICE
• Both the driver's and front passen-
ger's seat belt pre-tensioner system
may be activated not only in certain
frontal collision but also in certain
side collision, if the vehicle is equipped
with a side or curtain air bag.
• 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. These are normal oper-
ating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
• Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were activat-
ed.
• Because the sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with the pre-
tensioner seat belt, the SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate for approximate-
ly 6 seconds after the ignition switch
has been turned to the ON position,
and then it should turn off.

WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor-
rectly and adjusted to the proper
position. Please read and follow
all of the important information
and precautions about your vehi-
cle’s occupant safety features –
including seat belts and air bags
– that are provided in this manu-
al.
2. Be sure you and your passen- gers always wear seat belts prop-
erly.

Features of your vehicle
Installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.
Since all passenger safety belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency lock mode), you must
manually change these safety belts to
the auto lock mode to secure a child
restraint.WARNING- Child seat
installation
Before installing the childrestraint system, read the instruc-
tions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
If the safety belt does not operate as described in this section, have
the system checked immediately
by your authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to observe this manual's instructions regarding child
restraint system and the instruc-
tions provided with the child
restraint system could increase
the chance and/or severity of
injury in an accident.
WARNING
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that an
inflating passenger side air bag
could impact the rear-facing child
restraint and kill the child.
(Continued)
Never allow a child to stand up orkneel while the vehicle is moving.
Never use an infant carrier or child seat that "hooks" over a
seatback. It will not provide ade-
quate protection in an accident.
Never allow a child to be held while they are in a moving vehi-
cle, as this could result in serious
injury to the child in the event of
an accident or a sudden stop.
Holding a child in a moving vehi-
cle does not provide the child
with any protection during an
accident, even if the person hold-
ing the child is wearing a seat
belt.
After an accident, have an autho- rized Kia dealer check the child
restraint system, seat belt, tether
anchor and lower anchor.
If there is not enough space to place the child restraint system
because of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint system
in the rear right seat.

What your air bag system does
Driver’s air bag and front passenger’s air
bag are designed to supplement the pro-
tection offered by the safety belt in cer-
tain frontal collisions. Likewise, side air
bag and curtain air bags are designed to
supplement the protection offered by the
safety belt in side collisions. Safety belts
are designed to reduce the injury of the
driver or passengers in case of impact or
collision. No safety belt or air bag system
can completely eliminate injuries that
may cause in collisions or impacts. To
help reduce impact on driver or passen-
gers in any collision, safety belts must be
correctly worn.
What your air bag system does
not do
The air bag system is designed to sup-
plement the protection offered by the
safety belt system. IT IS NOT A SUB-
STITUTE FOR THE SAFETY BELT.
The importance of using
safety belts
There are four very important reasons to
use safety belts even with an air bag sup-
plemental restraint system. They:
help keep you in the proper position (away from the air bag) when it inflates.
reduce the risk of harm in rollover, side impact (vehicles not equipped with
side and curtain air bags) or rear
impact collisions, because an air bag is
not designed to inflate in such situa-
tions and even a side curtain air bag is
designed to inflate only in certain side
impact collisions.
reduce the risk of harm in frontal or side collisions which are not severe
enough to actuate the air bag supple-
mental restraint system.
reduce the risk of being ejected from your vehicle.

385
Features of your vehicle
Occupant detection system
The occupant detection system detects
the presence of a passenger in the front
passenger's seat and will turn off the front
passenger's air bag under certain condi-
tions.
The occupant detection system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger's air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
Only the front passenger front air bag is
controlled by the Occupant Detection
System.
WARNING- Air bags &safety belts
Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers must
always wear the safety belts pro-
vided in order to minimize the risk
and severity of injury in the event
of a collision or rollover.
Always wear your safety belt. It can help keep you away from the
air bags during heavy braking
just before a collision.
If occupants are not wearing safe- ty belts or correctly seated, they
cannot be protected, and thus
face serious injury or death.
Driver’s and front passenger’s air bag are designed to inflate only in
certain frontal collision, and side
and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate in certain side impacts.
Frontal air bags will generally not
provide protection in side impacts
(vehicles not equipped with side
and curtain air bags) or rear
impacts, rollovers, less severe
frontal collisions. They will not pro-
vide protection from later impacts
in a multi-impact collision.

If your vehicle has been subject-ed to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing water
on the floor of the vehicle, etc.) or
if your vehicle has become flood
damaged in any way, do not
attempt to start the vehicle or put
the key in the ignition before dis-
connecting the battery.
Disregarding this precaution may
cause air bag deployment, which
could result in serious personal
injury or death. If your vehicle is
subjected to flooded conditions,
before starting the vehicle, have
the vehicle towed to an autho-
rized Kia dealer for inspection
and necessary repairs.
