Rear lap/shoulder belt
To fasten the rear lap/shoulder
belt:
1. Grasp the buckle and tongue
plate.
2. Slowly pull the lap/shoulder belt
out.
3. Insert the tongue plate ( ➀ ) into the
open end of the buckle ( ➁ ) until an
audible “click’’ is heard, indicating
the belt is locked in the buckle.
4. Position the lap portion ( ➀ ) of the
belt across your lap as LOW ON
THE HIPS as possible to reduce
the risk of sliding under it during
an accident. Adjust the belt to a
SNUG FIT by pulling up on the
shoulder portion (
➁ ) of the safety
belt. The belt retractor is designed
to take up excess webbing auto-
matically and to maintain tension
on the belt. For your safety do not
put any excess slack into the safe-
ty belt.

(Continued)
• Never drive or ride with a
twisted or jammed safety belt.
If you cannot 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 sever-
ity of injury in an accident.
