1. Drive to the nearest safe location.
2. With the engine off, check the genera-
tor drive belt for looseness or break-
age.
3. If the belt is adjusted properly, a prob-
lem exists somewhere in the electrical
charging system. Have an authorized
Kia dealer correct the problem as soon
as possible.

As a reminder to the driver and passen-
ger, safety belt warning light will blink for

tened when the key is turned ON or if it is

the safety belt warning light will blink for
approximately 6 seconds.
If the driver’s lap/shoulder belt is not fas-
tened when you drive over 10 km/h, the
