Knowing your vehicle
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from
a pre-tensioner seat belt:
• The seat belt must be worn
correctly.
• The seat belt must be adjusted
to the correct position.
WARNING
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.
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.
CAUTION
• 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.
• 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 whilst the
vehicle is being driven, please
have an authorised Kia dealer
inspect the pre-tensioner seat
belt or SRS air bag system as
soon as possible.
