Knowing your vehicle
Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:
WARNING - Cargo area
(if equipped)
WARNING - Belt use
•
•
The seatback is upright.
The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
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.
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.
•
The knees are straight forward.
Failure to heed these warnings and
follow
these
instructions
will
increase the risk and severity of
injuries and the likelihood of death
in an accident.
• Use the shoulder portion of the
safety belt on the outside shoul-
der only. Never wear the shoulder
portion under the arm.
Never swing the safety belt
around your neck to fit over the
inside shoulder.
WARNING - After a collision
•
•
Lap/shoulder
belt
assemblies
may be stretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress and
forces of a collision.
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.
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.
