Seat belts
side collisions or rollovers, if the vehi
-
cle is equipped with a side or curtain
air bag.
僅 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 appear for approximately 3
~ 6 seconds after the ignition switch
or ENGINE START/STOP button has
been turned to the ON position, and
then it should turn off.
僅 If the pre-tensioner seat belt system is
not working properly, this warning
light will appear even if there is not a
malfunction with the SRS air bag. If
the SRS air bag warning light does not
appear when the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button has
been turned to the ON position, or if it
remains appeared after illuminating
for approximately 3 ~ 6 seconds, or if
it appears 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 fires
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
Take the following precautions when
using seat belts.
Infant or small child
Most countries have child restraint laws.
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 (CRS)" on page 3-41.
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 Stan
-
dards 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 (CRS)"
on page 3-41.
