WARNING
- Twisted belts
A twisted or jammed seat belt
cannot restrain you properly. If
you cannot untwist or unjam the
seat belt, have an authorised
Kia dealer it immediately. Never
drive or ride with a twisted or
jammed seat belt.
Seat belts provide the best restraint
when:
• The seatback is upright.
• The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
• The lap belt is snug across the hips.
• The shoulder belt is snug across
the chest.
• 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
- After a colli-
sion
• Lap/shoulder belt assemblies
may be stretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress
and forces of a collision.
• 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.
WARNING -
Cargo area
(if equipped)
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.
