SEAT BELTS

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or

if the occupant tries to lean forward

too quickly, the seat belt retractor will

lock into position. In certain frontal

collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-

vate and pull the seat belt into tighter

contact against the occupant's body.

If the system senses excessive seat

belt tension on the driver or passen-

ger's seat belt when the pre-tension-

er activates, the load limiter inside

the pre-tensioner will release some

of the pressure on the affected seat

belt. (if equipped)

The seat belt pre-tensioner system

consists mainly of the following com-

ponents.Their locations are shown in

the illustration.

Pre-tensioner seat belt

(if equipped)

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, where the frontal

collision is severe enough, together

with the air bags.

CAUTION

WARNING

To obtain maximum benefit from

a pre-tensioner seat belt:

WARNING

• 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.

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.

• The seat belt must be worn

correctly.

• The seat belt must be adjusted

to the correct position.

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.

• 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

WARNING - Seat 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

seat belt or size-appropriate

child restraint. In fact, air bags

are designed to work the best

WARNING - Cargo area

(if equipped)

• The seatback is upright.

• Lap/shoulder belt assemblies

may be stretched or damaged

when subjected to the stress

and forces of a collision.

Passengers should never be

allowed to ride in the cargo area

of a vehicle. No seat belts are

provided for the cargo area.

Persons riding in the vehicle

without a fastened seat belt are

much more likely to suffer seri-

ous bodily injury or death dur-

ing an accident.

• The occupant is sitting upright (not

slouched).

• The lap belt is snug across the hips.

• The shoulder belt is snug across

the chest.

• The entire restraint system

should be inspected following

any collision. All belts, retrac-

tors, anchors and hardware

damaged by a collision should

be replaced before the vehicle

is operated again.

• The knees are straight forward.

To help you remember to fasten your

seat belt, a warning light will come

on and a chime will sound.

WARNING - Twisted belts

A twisted or jammed seat belt

cannot restrain you properly. If

you cannot untwist or unjam the

seat belt, have an authorized

Kia dealer it immediately. Never

drive or ride with a twisted or

jammed seat belt.

WARNING - Belt use

WARNING - Seat belt care

• Wear the lap portion as low as

possible. Be sure that the lap

belt fits snugly around the

hips. Never wear lap belt or a

lap portion of a lap/shoulder

belt over your waist; it should

always go over the stronger

area of your hips.

Seat belts must be used correct-

ly to work properly in an acci-

dent. Each seating position in

your vehicle has a specific seat

belt assembly that includes a

buckle and tongue designed to

be used together.

• A damaged belt may not give

you the protection you need in

an accident.

• Inspect your seat belts period-

ically for excessive wear or

damage. Pull out each belt

fully and look for fraying, cuts,

burns or other damage. Pull

the seat belt out and let it

retract a number of times.

Make sure that the lap/shoul-

der belts return smoothly and

easily into the retractor.

For greatest effectiveness, fol-

low these guidelines in using

seat belts:

• Never use a single seat belt

for more than one person.

• The front seatbacks should

always remain in a comfort-

able, upright position when

the vehicle is moving.

• Use the shoulder portion of

the seat belt on the outside

shoulder only. Never wear the

shoulder portion under the

arm.

• Check the latches to make

sure they latch and release

without interference or delay.

• Never swing the seat belt

around your neck to fit over

the inside shoulder.

• Never close the doors on any

part of the lap or shoulder

belt.

• Never wear the shoulder por-

tion of the seat belt across the

neck or face.

• Any belt not in good condition

or in good working order

should be promptly replaced.

Restraint of pregnant women

Restraint of infants and small

children

Pregnant women should wear

lap/shoulder belt assemblies when-

ever possible according to specific

recommendations by their doctors.

The lap portion of the belt should be

worn AS SNUGLY AND LOW AS

POSSIBLE.

To increase their safety, infants and

young children should always be

restrained by a restraint system

approved for their age and size.

• Do not make modifications or addi-

tions to the seat belt.

Never allow a child to stand or kneel

on the seat of a moving vehicle.

Never allow a seat belt to be placed

around both a child and an adult or

around two children at the same

time.

• After wearing a seat belt, make

sure it fully retracts to the stowed

position. Do not allow the belt to

get caught in the door when you

close it.

WARNING - Pregnant

women

Pregnant women must never

place the lap portion of the seat

belt over the area of the

abdomen where the fetus is

located or above the abdomen

where the belt could crush the

fetus during an impact.

It is best for children to be seated in

the rear seats.

WARNING

Do not bleach or dye the web-

bing because this may weaken

the webbing fibers and allow

them to fail when loaded in a

collision.

Knowing your vehicle

Many companies manufacture child

restraint systems (often called child

seats) for infants and small children.

An acceptable child restraint system

must always satisfy the Safety

Standards of your country. Make

sure that any child-restraint system

you use in your vehicle is labelled as

complying with those safety stan-

dards.

Restraint of larger children

WARNING - Children on

laps

As children grow, they may need to

use new child-restraint systems,

including larger child seats or boost-

er seats, which are appropriate for

their increased size.

Never hold a child on your lap or

in your arms in a moving vehi-

cle.

Even a very strong person can-

not hold onto a child in the

event of even a minor collision.

A child who has outgrown available

child-restraint systems should use

the belts provided in the vehicle.

When seated in the rear outboard

seats, the child should be restrained

by the lap/shoulder belt.

The child-restraint system should be

chosen to fit both the size of the child

and the size of the vehicle seat. Be

sure to follow any instructions provid-

ed by the child-restraint system man-

ufacturer when installing the child-

restraint system.

CAUTION - Hot metal

parts

If the shoulder belt portion slightly

touches 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 may

need to be returned to a child

restraint system. In addition, after-

market devices are available from

independent manufacturers which

help pull the shoulder belt down and

away from the child’s face or neck.

Seat belts and seats can

become hot in a vehicle that has

been closed during warm/hot

weather; they could burn a

child. Check seat covers and

buckles before you place a child

anywhere near them.

You are required by law to use safe-

ty restraints for children. If small chil-

dren ride in your vehicle you must

put them in a child restraint system

(safety seat).

Child restraint system

(if equipped)

WARNING - Shoulder

belts on small children

For small children and babies, the

use of a child seat or infant seat is

strongly recommended. This child

seat or infant seat should be of

appropriate size for the child and

should be installed in accordance

with the manufacturer's instructions.

It is further recommended that the

seat be placed in the vehicle's rear

seat since this can make an impor-

tant contribution to safety.

• Never allow a shoulder belt to

be in contact with a child’s

neck or face while the vehicle

is in motion.

Children could be injured or killed in

a crash if their restraints are not

properly secured. For small children

and babies, a child seat or infant seat

must be used. Before buying a par-

ticular child restraint system, make

sure it fits your car and seat belts,

and fits your child. Follow all the

instructions provided by the manu-

facturer when installing the child

restraint system.

• If seat belts are not properly

worn and adjusted, there is a

risk of death or serious injury

to such a child.

Children riding in the car should sit

on the rear seat and must always be

properly restrained to minimize the

risk of injury in an accident, sudden

stop or sudden maneuver. According

to accident statistics, children are

safer when properly restrained in the

rear seats than in the front seat.

Larger children should use one of

the seat belts provided.

3 44

ED English 3.qxp 10/4/2007 5:54 PM Page 45

Knowing your vehicle

(Continued)

• Since a seat belt or child

restraint system can become

very hot if it is left in a closed

vehicle, be sure to check the

seat cover and buckles before

placing a child there.

• Always make sure that the

shoulder belt portion of the

outboard lap/shoulder belt is

positioned midway over the

shoulder, never across the

neck or behind the back.

Moving the child closer to the

center of the vehicle may help

provide a good shoulder belt

fit. The lap belt portion of the

lap/shoulder belt must always

be positioned as low as possi-

ble on the child's hips and as

snug as possible.

• When the child restraint sys-

tem is not in use, store it in the

trunk or fasten it with a seat

belt so that it will not be

thrown forward in the case of

a sudden stop or an accident.

1JBH3051

WARNING

• Children who are too large to

be in a child restraint should

sit in the rear seat and be

restrained with the available

lap/shoulder belts. Never

allow children to ride in the

front passenger seat.

• A child restraint system must

be placed in the rear seat.

Never install a child or infant

seat on the front passenger's

seat.

• If the seat belt will not proper-

ly fit the child, we recommend

the use of an approved boost-

er seat in the rear seat in order

to raise the child's seating

height so that the seat belt will

properly fit the child.

Should an accident occur and

cause the passenger air bag

to deploy, it could severely

injure or kill an infant or child

seated in an infant or child

seat. Thus, only use a child

restraint in the rear seat of

your vehicle.

WARNING

• Never allow a child to stand up

or kneel on the seat.

• Do not install any child

restraint system in the front

passenger seat. Should an

accident occur and cause the

passenger air bag to deploy, it

could severely injure or kill an

infant or child seated in an

infant or child seat. Therefore,

only use a child restraint sys-

tem in the rear seat of your

vehicle.

WARNING

• Before installing the child

restraint system, read the

instructions supplied by the

child restraint system manu-

facturer.

• Never allow a child to be held

in a person's arms while they

are in a moving vehicle, 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 mov-

ing vehicle does not provide

the child with any means of

protection during an accident,

even if the person holding the

child is wearing a seat belt.

• Failure to observe this manual

instructions regarding child

restraint system and the

instructions provided with the

child restraint system could

increase the chance and/or

severity of injury in an acci-

dent.

• If the child restraint seat is not

anchored properly, the risk of

a child being seriously injured

or killed in a collision greatly

increases.

Knowing your vehicle

The installing and the use of a child-

seat has to be done according to the

installing-manual, which is added to

the ISOFIX-seat.

WARNING

When using the vehicle's

“ISOFIX” system to install a

child restraint system in the rear

seat, all unused vehicle rear

seat belt metal latch plates or

tabs must be latched securely in

their seat belt buckles and the

seat belt webbing must be

retracted behind the child

restraint to prevent the child

from reaching and taking hold

of unretracted seat belts.

Unlatched metal latch plates or

tabs may allow the child to

reach the unretracted seat belts

which may result in strangula-

tion and a serious injury or

death to the child in the child

restraint.

OED036079

OED036077A

On each side of the rear seat,

between the cushion and backrest,

are located a pair of ISOFIX anchor-

age points together with a top tether

mounting on the back panel behind

the rear seats. During the installa-

tion, the seat has to be engaged at

the anchorage-points in a way you

can hear it clicking (check by pulling!)

and has to be fixed with the Top

Tether-belt on the belonging point on

the transverse trim behind rear seats.

To secure the child restraint seat

1. To engage the child restraint seat

to the ISOFIX anchor, insert the

child restraint seat latch into the

ISOFIX anchor. Listen for the audi-

ble “click” sound.

2. Connect the tether strap hook to

the child restraint hook holder and

tighten to secure the seat. Refer to

the previous page.

WARNING

• Do not mount more than one

child restraint to a child

restraint lower anchorage

point. The improper increased

load may cause the anchorage

points or tether anchor to

break, causing serious injury

or death.

• Do not install a child restraint

seat at the center of the rear

seat using the vehicle's

ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX

anchors are only provided for

the left and right outboard rear

seating positions. Do not mis-

use the ISOFIX anchors by

attempting to attach a child

restraint seat in the middle of

the rear seat to the ISOFIX

anchors. In a crash, the child

restraint seat ISOFIX attach-

ments may not be strong

enough to secure the child

restraint seat properly in the

center of the rear seat and

may break, causing serious

injury or death.

• Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-

compatible child restraint seat

only to the appropriate loca-

tions shown in the illustration.

• Always follow the installation

and use instructions provided

by the manufacturer of the

child restraint.
