WARNING
Skin Irritation
Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly
after an accident in which the pre-ten
-
sioner seat belts were activated. The fine
dust from the pre-tensioner activation
may cause skin irritation and should not
be inhaled for prolonged periods.
NOTICE
僅 Both the driver's and front passen
-
ger's seat belt pre-tensioner systems
may be activated, not only in certain
frontal collisions, but also in certain
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 illuminate for approximately
6 seconds after the EV button has
been changed to the ON position, and
then it should turn off.
If the pre-tensioner seat belt system is
not working properly, this warning light
will illuminate even if there is not a mal
-
function with the SRS air bag. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illuminate
when EV button has been changed to
ON, or if it remains illuminated after illu
-
minating for approximately 6 seconds,
or if it illuminates 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.
WARNING
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.
NOTICE
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.
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 seats must be properly placed
