3 28
safety features – including seat belts
and air bags – that are provided in
this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passengers
always wear seat belts properly.
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 6 sec-
onds after the 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 ENGINE START/STOP button is
turned to ON, or if it remains illuminated
after appearing for approximately 6 sec-
onds, or if it appears while the vehicle is
being driven, have the system inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
