Seat Belt Precautions - Kia Carnival 2022 Owner's Manual

Safety features of your vehicle
when the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button has
been turned to the ON position, or
if it remains illuminated after illu -
minating for approximately 3 ~ 6
seconds, or if it illuminates while
the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Kia dealer inspect the
pre-tensioner seat belt and SRS
air bag system as soon as possi -
ble.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to service or repair
the pre-tensioner seat belt system
in any manner. Do not attempt to
inspect or replace the pre-ten -
sioner seat belts yourself. This must
be done by an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Hot pre-tensioner
Do not touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt
mechanism fires during a collision
the pre-tensioner becomes hot and
can burn you.
Pre-tensioners are designed to
operate only one time. After activa -
tion, pre-tensioner seat belts must
be replaced. If the pre-tensioner
must be replaced, contact an autho -
rized Kia dealer.

Seat belt precautions

Take the following precautions
when using seat belts.
Infant or small child
All 50 states have child restraint
laws. You should be aware of the
specific requirements in your state.
Child and/or infant seats must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. For more information
about the use of these restraints,
refer to "Child Restraint System
(CRS)" on page 3-46.
NOTICE
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a Child Restraint System that
meets the requirements of the Fed -
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS). Before buying any Child
Restraint System, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan -
dard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height
and weight. Check the label on the
child restraint for this information.
Refer to "Child Restraint System
(CRS)" on page 3-46.
