Safety features of your vehicle Seat belts
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi
-
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware
are not damaged by seat hinges,
doors or other abuse.
䳜 When you return the rear seat
-
back to its upright position after
the rear seatback has been folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle.
Be sure that the webbing or
buckle does not get caught or
pinched in the rear seat. A seat
belt with damaged webbing or
buckle could possibly fail during a
collision or sudden stop, resulting
in serious injury. If the webbing or
buckles are damaged, get them
replaced immediately.
䳜 Seatbelts can become hot in a
vehicle that has been closed up in
sunny weather. They could burn
infants and children.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of
any kind. Any damaged parts should
be replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can
be cleaned by using a mild soap
solution and warm water. Bleach,
dye, strong detergents or abrasives
should not be used because they
may damage and weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an acci
-
dent. This should be done even if no
damage is visible. In this case, have
the system replaced by a profes
-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
consult an authorised Kia dealer/
service partner.
