Kia Optima: To fasten the front lap/shoulder belt

1. Grasp the buckle and tongue plate.
2. Slowly pull the lap/shoulder belt out from the retractor.

3. Insert the tongue plate into the open end of the buckle until an audible “click” is heard, indicating the belt is locked in the buckle.

4. Position the lap portion 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 of the safety belt. The belt retractor is designed to take up excess webbing automatically and to maintain tension on the belt. For maximum safety, do not put any excess slack into the safety belt.

5. Adjust the shoulder anchor position to your size. To raise the anchor position, push the anchor up. To lower the anchor position, press the button and slide the anchor down. After adjustment, make sure the anchor is locked in position.
