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

Pre-tensioners operate only one time.
After activation, pre-tensioner seat belts
must be replaced. If the pre-tensioner
must be replaced, contact an authorized
Kia dealer.
