KIA Forte (2018 year). Manual — part 2
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height of the center of gravity of
an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity of
most people's head is similar with
the height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed as severe
injury to the occupants may occur
in the event of an accident. Headr‐
ests may provide protection
against neck injuries when proper‐
ly adjusted.
• Do not adjust the headrest posi‐
tion of the driver's seat while the
vehicle is in motion.
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in the
rear seats, adjust the height of the
headrest to the lowest position. The
rear seat headrest can reduce the
visibility of the rear area.
WARNING
Do not place or attach the accesso‐
ries or other things near the head‐
rest. When the vehicle stops sudden‐
ly or in certain collisions, they could
come loose and injure vehicle occu‐
pants.

seatbacks is to allow you to carry
longer objects than could not other‐
wise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit on top
of the folded down seatback while
the car is moving as this is not a
proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use. This could
result in serious injury or death in
case of an accident or sudden stop.
Objects carried on the folded down
seatback should not extend higher
than the top of the front seats. This
could allow cargo to slide forward
and cause injury or damage during
sudden stops.

SEAT BELTS
Seat belt restraint system
WARNING
• For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must al‐
ways be used whenever the vehi‐
cle is moving.
• Seat belts are most effective when
seatbacks are in the upright posi‐
tion.
• Children age 12 and under must al‐
ways be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat. If
a child over 12 must be seated in
the front seat, he/she must be
properly belted and the seat
should be moved as far back as
possible.
• Never wear the shoulder belt un‐
der your arm or behind your back.
An improperly positioned shoulder
belt can cause serious injuries in a
crash.
The shoulder belt should be posi‐
tioned midway over your shoulder
across your collarbone.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.
A twisted belt can't do its job well.
In a collision, it could even cut into
you. Be sure the belt webbing is
straight and not twisted.
• Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is damaged,
replace it.
• Never wear a seat belt over fragile
objects. If there is a sudden stop
or impact, the seat belt can dam‐
age it.
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable; wearing the
lap section of the belt across the ab‐
dominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con‐
tamination of the webbing with pol‐
ishes, oils and chemicals, and partic‐
ularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild soap
and water. The belt should be re‐
placed if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged. It is es‐
sential to replace the entire assem‐
bly after it has been worn in a se‐
vere impact even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious. Belts should
not be worn with straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant; it is danger‐
ous to put a belt around a child being
carried on the occupant's lap.

WARNING
• No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating
to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being ad‐
justed to remove slack.
• When you fasten the seat belt, be
careful not to latch the seat belt in
buckles of other seat. It's very
dangerous and you may not be
protected by the seat belt proper‐
ly.
• Do not unfasten the seat belt and
do not fasten and unfasten the
seat belt repeatedly while driving.
This could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death, se‐
rious injury, or property damage.

you lean forward in a slow, easy mo‐
tion, the belt will extend and let you
move around. If there is a sudden stop
or impact, however, the belt will lock in‐
to position. It will also lock if you try to
lean forward too quickly.

Pre-tensioner seat belt (if
equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the preten‐
sioner is to make sure that the seat
belts fit tightly against the occupant's
body in certain collisions. The pre-ten‐
sioner seat belts may be activated in
crashes where the collision is severe
enough.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. In certain collisions, the
pre-tensioner will activate and pull the
seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner activates, the
load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the af‐
fected seat belt. (if equipped)
NOTICE
n if equipped with rollover sen‐
sor
The pre-tensioner will activate not
only in a frontal collision but also in a
side collision or rollover, if the vehicle
is equipped with a side or curtain air
bag.
NOTICE

and always sit properly on your seat.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following compo‐
nents. Their locations are shown in the
