Knowing your vehicle
5. Adjust the shoulder anchor position to
your size. To raise the anchor position,
push the anchor up (1). To lower the
anchor position, press (2) the button
(A) and slide the anchor down (3).
After adjustment, make sure the
anchor is locked in position.
If the height of the adjusting seat belt is
too near your neck, you will not be getting
the most effective protection. The shoul-
der portion should be adjusted so that it
lies across your chest and midway over
your shoulder nearest the door and not
your neck.

WARNING
• The height adjuster must be in
the locked position when the
vehicle is moving.
• The misadjustment of height of
the shoulder belt could reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt
in a crash.

To unfasten the front lap/shoulder
belt:
Press the release button on the buckle
and allow the belt to slowly retract.
WARNING
• The seatbacks should always
remain in a comfortable, upright
position while the vehicle is in
motion. The safety belt system
will provide the most protection
with the seatbacks in an upright
position.
• Never wear the shoulder portion
of the safety belt under the out-
side arm or behind the back.
• Never wear the shoulder portion
of the safety belt across the neck
or face.
• Wear the lap portion of the safety
belt as low on the hips as possi-
ble. Be sure the lap belt fits snug-
ly around the hips. Never wear the
lap belt over your waist.
• Never drive or ride with a twisted
or jammed safety belt. If you can-
not untwist or unjam the safety
4GQB0338 belt, see the nearest Kia dealer
immediately.
• Never use a single belt to restrain
more than one person at a time.
Failure to follow these warnings will
increase the risk and severity of
injury in an accident.
