Change belts on 2002 kia optima
Not sure what engine you have , but I had an 02 rio with the 1.5 L . The serpentine belt did not have a tensioner (spring loaded) pulley , the belt tightness was adjusted by pivoting the alternator mount.
If you are takling about the Timing belt , the tensioner pulley wont move (even though it is on a spring ) untill you loosen the bolt in the center.

The seat belt in the van won't come out.
Seat belts are supposed to be under warranty for the life of the car, the exceptions being vandalism or abuse. Call your local Kia dealer, and ask them about this. Let me know how you make out, most dealers don't want to do a free fix, but they should. If they refuse to help, I will try to help further. Good luck!

Timing belt tensioner
On the Rio 2002, the tensionner is only used to apply pressure to the timing belt (installation) and cannot be adjusted. Once install the tensionner is "auto adjust" using a spring. If you need to adjust it,may be it time to change the timing belt KIT. Around 60,000 M.
