2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
✽✽
NOTICE
 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 hazardous.
 Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged periods.
Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly
after an accident in which the pre-ten-
sioner seat belts were activated. ✽
✽
NOTICE
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 approximately
6 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned to the ON position, and
then it should turn off.WARNING

and precautions about your vehi-
cle’s occupant safety features –
including seat belts and air bags –
that are provided in this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts properly.

If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not
working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is no malfunction of the SRS air bag. If the SRS air bag warning light doesnot illuminate when the ignition
switch is turned ON, or if it remainsilluminated after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds, or if itilluminates while the vehicle is

Infant or small child
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat. For
more information about the use of these
restraints, refer to “Child restraint sys-
tem” in this section.
✽✽
NOTICE
Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the require-
ments of the Safety Standards of your
country. Before buying any child
restraint system, make sure that it has a
label certifying that it meets Safety
Standards of your country. The restraint
must be appropriate for your child's
height and weight. Check the label on
the child restraint for this information.
Refer to “Child restraint system” in this
section.C020301AHM
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. The lap portion should
be fastened and snugged on the hips
and as low as possible. Check if the belt
fits periodically. A child's squirming could
put the belt out of position. Children are
given the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by a
proper restraint system in the rear seat. If
a larger child (over age 12) must be seat-ed in the front seat, the child should be
securely restrained by the availablelap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position. Children
age 12 and under should be restrained
securely in the rear seat. NEVER place achild age 12 and under in the front seat.
NEVER place a rear facing child seat in
the front seat of a vehicle.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to a
child restraint system.
WARNING
Every person in your vehicle needs
to be properly restrained at all
times, including infants and chil-
dren. Never hold a child in yourarms or lap when riding in a vehi-
cle. The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child from
your arms and throw the child
against the interior. Always use a
child restraint appropriate for your
child's height and weight.

Using a child restraint system
For small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required. This
child seat or infant seat should be of
appropriate size for the child and shouldbe installed in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
(Continued)
Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-vide adequate security in an acci-dent.
Seat belts can become very hot, especially when the vehicle is
parked in direct sunlight. Always
check the seat belt buckles
before fastening them over a
child.
After an accident, have an author- ized 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 systembecause of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint systemin the rear right seat.

very young children may inadver-
tently cause the vehicle to move,entangle themselves in the win-
dows, or lock themselves or oth-
ers inside the vehicle.
Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use the sameseat belt.
Children often squirm and repo- sition themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with theshoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always proper-
ly position and secure children inthe rear seat.
Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel on the seat or floor of a
