light does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to ON, or if it
remains illuminated after illuminat-
ing for approximately 3 ~ 6 seconds,
or if it illuminates whilst the vehicle
is being driven, have the system
inspected by a professional work-
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service part-
ner.
WARNING
Pre-tensioners seat belts sys-
tems are designed to operate

The pre-tensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.

replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. Have the system
inspected by a professional work-

repair the pre-tensioner seat belt
system in any manner.
Improper handling of the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt assemblies, and
failure to heed the warnings not
to strike, modify, inspect, replace,
service or repair the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt assemblies may
lead to improper operation or
inadvertent activation and serious
injury.
Always wear the seat belts when
driving or riding in a motor vehicle.
If the vehicle or pre-tensioner
seat belt must be discarded, con-
tact a professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
