Safety features of your vehicle
✽ ✽
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 operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tension-
er seat belts were activated.
• 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 POWER button has been
turned to the "ON" position, and
then it should turn off.
CAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, the SRS
air bag warning light will illumi-
nate even if there is no malfunc-
tion of the SRS air bag. If the
SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when the POWER
button is turned to ON, or if it
remains illuminated after illumi-
nating for approximately 6 sec-
onds, or if it illuminates whilst
the vehicle is being driven, have
the system inspected by a pro-
fessional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit
from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be worn
correctly and adjusted to the
proper position. Please read
and follow all of the important
information and precautions
about your vehicle’s occupant
safety features – including
seat belts and air bags – that
are provided in this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passen-
gers always wear seat belts
properly.
