Kia Picanto: Seat belts / Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be disassembled
or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat
belts and belt hardware are not damaged
by seat hinges, doors or other
abuse.
WARNING
- When you return the rear seatback
to its upright position after
the rear seatback has been folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle. Be
sure that the webbing or buckle
does not get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. A seat belt with
damaged webbing or buckle could
possibly fail during a collision or
sudden stop, resulting in serious
injury. If the webbing or buckles
are damaged, get them replaced
immediately.
- Seatbelts can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in
sunny weather.
They could burn infants and children.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected periodically
for wear or damage of any
kind. Any damaged parts should be replaced
as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.
If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or assemblies
should be replaced if the vehicle
has been involved in an accident.
This should be done even if no damage
is visible. In this case, have the system
replaced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to consult an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
