Safety features of your vehicle
visible in the passenger compart -
ment. These are normal operating
conditions and are not hazardous.
Although it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro -
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-ten -
sioner seat belts were activated.
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 illuminate
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
working properly, the SRS air bag
warning light will illuminate even if
there is no malfunction of the SRS
air bag. If the SRS air bag warning
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
3 58
authorised Kia dealer/service part -
ner.
WARNING
Pre-tensioners seat belts sys -
tems are designed to operate
only one time. After activation,
pre-tensioner seat belts must be
replaced. All seat belts, of any
type, should always be replaced
after they have been worn during
a collision.
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.
Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. Have the system
inspected by a professional work -
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
Do not attempt to service or
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.
