To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be working cor
-
rectly and adjusted to the proper posi
-
tion. Please read and follow all of the
important information and precau
-
tions 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 passengers
always wear seat belts properly.
僅 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 passen
-
ger compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not haz
-
ardous.
僅 Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri
-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor
-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were acti
-
vated.
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 illuminate for approximately 6
seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned to the "ON" position, and
then it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work
-
ing properly, the SRS air bag warning
light will illuminate even if there is no
malfunction of the SRS air bag. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not illu
-
minate when the ignition key is turned to
ON, or if it remains illuminated after illu
-
minating for approximately 6 seconds,
or if it illuminates whilst the vehicle is
being driven, have the system inspected
by a professional workshop. Kia recom
