Seat belts
Skin Irritation
Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly
after an accident in which the pre-ten
-
sioner seat belts were activated. The fine
dust from the pre-tensioner activation
may cause skin irritation and should not
be breathed for prolonged periods.
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 or
ENGINE START/STOP button has been
turned to the ON position, and then it
should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner seat belt system is
not working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is not a mal
-
function with the SRS air bag. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illuminate
when the Ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button is turned ON, or if it
remains illuminated after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it illumi
-
nates while the vehicle is being driven,
have an authorized Kia dealer inspect
the pre-tensioner seat belt and SRS air
bag system as soon as possible.
Do not attempt to service or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt system in any
manner. Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner seat belts
yourself. This must be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Hot pre-tensioner
Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes after
they have been activated. When the pre-
tensioner seat belt mechanism activates
during a collision the pre-tensioner
becomes hot and can burn you.
Pre-tensioners are designed to operate
only one time. After activation, pre-ten
-
sioner seat belts must be replaced. If the
pre-tensioner must be replaced, contact
an authorized Kia dealer.
Seat belt precautions
Infant or small child
All 50 states have child restraint laws.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your state. 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 (CRS)" on page 3-23.
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 Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards.
Before buying any child restraint system,
make sure that it has label certifying that
it meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height and
weight.
