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
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.
