Subaru Forester: Seat belts / Care of seat belts

The seat belt system in your Kia Telluride is engineered as a critical part of the vehicle's occupant protection system and should never be disassembled, altered, or modified. Always ensure that the seat belt webbing, buckles, retractors, and other hardware are protected from damage caused by seat hinges, closing doors, or improper handling.

WARNING

CAUTION

Periodic inspection

Inspect every seat belt assembly on a regular basis for signs of wear, cuts, fraying, deformation, loose stitching, damaged buckles, or other defects. Any component showing visible damage or abnormal operation should be replaced immediately to maintain the safety performance of your Kia Telluride.

Keep belts clean and dry

Seat belts should always be kept clean and completely dry. If cleaning is necessary, use warm water with a mild soap solution. Do not use bleach, harsh detergents, solvents, dyes, or abrasive cleaners, as these products may weaken the webbing fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the restraint system.

When to replace seat belts

If the Kia Telluride has been involved in a collision, the complete seat belt assembly should be replaced, even if no visible damage can be found. Internal components may have been stressed during the impact. If you have any concerns regarding the operation or condition of the seat belt system, contact an authorized Kia dealer for inspection.
