SEAT BELTS WITH THE PRELIMINARY TENSION

On the car at the driver and the forward passenger belts with a preliminary tension are established. These belts provide dense contact to a body of the person at a head-on collision of the car that in a combination with system of airbags reduces risk of receiving serious traumas. Prednatyazhitel of a seat belt can be activated together with a safety cushion at considerable face-to-face blow.

In usual conditions these belts work also as well as belts of usual type. At the included ignition and a sharp stop of the car or at too fast shifts forward passengers, the inertial natyazhitel of a seat belt is blocked. In case of a serious head-on collision when the system of airbags works, the belt covers the driver and the passenger more densely.

Seat belts with a prednatyazhitel can function both together with system of airbags, and without it.

Main components of a prednatyazhitel

For ensuring the maximum protective properties of system of seat belts with a preliminary tightness:

      – correctly have a seat belt round the body;
      – correctly regulate length of a belt.

Seat belts with a prednatyazhitel of the driver and the passenger work at a serious head-on collision of the car together with operation of system of airbags as the system of airbags and a seat belt cope with a prednatyazhitel the same sensor. Prednatyazhitel of a seat belt can be activated together with a safety cushion at considerable face-to-face blow. In this case prednatyazhitel are activated even in the absence of passengers on seats at the moment of blow.

At operation of natyazhitel strong noise and emergence of the fine dust similar to a smoke, in car salon is possible. It is not malfunction and corresponds to normal work of system.

Though the dust also is harmless, but it can cause irritation of skin. It also is not recommended to be inhaled for a long time. After failure when there was a system operation, carefully wash up hands and the person water.

As for prednatyazhitel of seat belts the sensor of operation is the general with safety cushions, the control lamp in a combination of devices will burn about 6 with the ambassador of inclusion of ignition, and then should go out. If the system works incorrectly, this control lamp will burn even in that case when in system of airbags there are no malfunctions. If the control lamp of system of passive safety does not burn at inclusion of ignition or continues to burn more than 6 with, or at car movement, at the first possibility address to the authorized dealer of KIA for check of system of passive safety.

SYSTEM OF SEAT BELTS

Seat belts provide the best protection in cases, when:

      – the back of a seat is in the lifted situation;
      – the person sits exactly (does not bend);
      – the femoral part of a seat belt covers hips and adjoins as it is possible below to a basin;
      – the humeral part of a seat belt passes through a breast;
      – knees are directed forward.

In case you forget to be fastened, the control lamp will light up and the sound alarm system will turn on. All seats, except a back average are equipped with a humeral and femoral seat belt. The average back seat has only femoral seat belt.

The internal lock in the mechanism of a tension of seat belts is not locked at a belt zastyogivaniye that gives the chance free movement of the fastened passengers, and also increases their comfort. If the car is subject to force action, for example, at sharp braking, turn or collision, the lock in the mechanism of a tension of seat belts will block belts from a pulling. The seat belt of a back average seat has no this mechanism therefore is always in the blocked situation. For installation of a children's chair use mainly a back average seat. In case it is impossible, can establish it on a forward seat near the driver or on a back extreme seat. In this case it is necessary to use system of special blocking of a seat belt.

Never go with the overwound or rumpled seat belts. If it is not possible to straighten a belt or to unwind it, at once address to the dealer Kia or the next qualified technical assistance.

Never use one seat belt for several passengers.

Femoral and humeral parts of a belt can because of the force which has arisen during failure, to be extended and be damaged.

The system of seat belts at any collision should be carefully checked. All damaged mechanisms of a tension, knots of fastening and other faulty parts should be replaced before further operation of the car.

The seat belt is necessary for supervising periodically for determination of excessive wear or damage. Strongly worn-out, cut, prozhzhyonny or on another the damaged belt it is necessary to replace everyone. Be convinced that bederny and humeral parts of a belt smoothly and easily come back to the tension mechanism. Check latches and be convinced that they work without hindrances and delays. Each belt in the damaged condition or badly working should be immediately replaced.
