care
• A damaged belt may not give you
the protection you need in an
accident.
Inspect your safety belts periodi-
cally for excessive wear or dam-
age. Pull out each belt fully and
look for fraying, cuts, burns or
other damage. Pull the safety belt
out and let it retract a number of
times. Make sure that the
lap/shoulder belts return smooth-
ly and easily into the retractor.
Check the latches to make sure
they latch and release without
interference or delay.
Never close the doors on any part
of the lap or shoulder belt.
Any belt not in good condition or
in good working order should be
promptly replaced.
•
Use the shoulder portion of the
safety belt on the outside shoul-
der only. Never wear the shoulder
portion under the arm.
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.

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.

WARNING - Belt use
• Wear the lap portion as low as
possible. Be sure that the lap belt
fits snugly around the hips.

lap/shoulder belt over your waist;
it should always go over the
stronger area of your hips.
• 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.
