Safety features of your vehicle
buckle does not get caught or
pinched in the rear seat. A seat
belt with damaged webbing or
buckle will not be as strong and
could possibly fail during a colli -
sion or sudden stop, resulting in
serious injury. If the webbing or
buckles are damaged, get them
replaced immediately.
Seat belts can become hot in a
vehicle that has been closed up in
sunny weather.
They could burn infants and chil -
dren.
Periodic inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts
be inspected periodically for wear or
damage of any kind. Any damaged
parts should be replaced as soon as
possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can
be cleaned by using a mild soap
solution and warm water. Bleach,
dye, strong detergents or abrasives
should not be used because they
may damage and weaken the fabric.

When to replace seat belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an acci -
dent. This should be done even if no
damage is visible. In this case, have
the system replaced by a profes -
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
consult an authorised Kia dealer/
service partner.
