Safety features of your vehicle
NOTICE
僅 When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passen-
ger compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not haz-
ardous.
僅 Although it is harmless, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be breathed for prolonged peri-
ods. Wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly after an accident in which the
pre-tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.
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 appear for approximately 3 ~ 6
seconds after the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button has
been turned to the "ON" position, and
then it should turn off.
CAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not work-
ing properly, the SRS air bag warning
light will appear even if there is no mal-
function of the SRS air bag. If the SRS air
bag warning light does not appear when
the ignition key is turned to ON, or if it
remains appeared after illuminating for
approximately 3 ~ 6 seconds, or if it
appears whilst the vehicle is being
driven, have the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.

manner.
僅 Improper handling of the pre-ten-

ing or riding in a motor vehicle.
僅 If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat
belt must be discarded, contact a pro-
fessional workshop. Kia recommends
