Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:

Failure to heed these warnings and
follow these instructions
increase the risk and severity of
injuries and the likelihood of death
in an accident.
WARNING - Cargo area
(if equipped)
•
•
The seatback is upright.
The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
will
Passengers should never be
allowed to ride in the cargo area of
a vehicle. No safety belts are pro-
vided for the cargo area. Persons
riding in the vehicle without a fas-
tened safety belt are much more
likely to suffer serious bodily injury
or death during an accident.
•
•
The lap belt is snug across the hips.
The shoulder belt is snug across the
chest.
•
Use the shoulder portion of the
safety belt on the outside shoul-
der only. Never wear the shoulder
portion under the arm.
•
The knees are straight forward.

•
•
Never swing the safety belt
around your neck to fit over the
inside shoulder.
Never wear the shoulder portion
of the safety belt across the neck
or face.
Wear the lap portion as low as
possible. Be sure that the lap belt
fits snugly around the hips.
Never wear a lap portion of a
lap/shoulder belt over your waist;
it should always go over the
stronger area of your hips.
WARNING - After a collision
•
•
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, retractors,
anchors and hardware damaged
by a collision should be replaced
before the vehicle is operated
again.
WARNING - Twisted belts
A twisted or jammed safety belt
cannot restrain you properly. If you
cannot untwist or unjam the safety
belt, have an authorized Kia dealer
service it immediately. Never drive
or ride with a twisted or jammed
safety belt.
WARNING - Belt use
•
•
Never use a single safety belt for
more than one person.
The front seatbacks should
always remain in a comfortable,
upright position when the vehicle
is moving.
Safety belts must be used correctly
to work properly in an accident.
Each seating position in your vehi-
cle has a specific safety belt assem-
bly that includes a buckle and
tongue designed to be used togeth-
er.
