Installing a child restraint system

For safety reasons, we recommend
that the child restraint system be
used in the rear seats.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that
an inflating passenger side air bag
could impact the rear-facing child
restraint and kill the child.
Since all passenger’s (except dri-
ver’s) safety belts move freely under
normal conditions and only lock
under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency lock mode), you
must manually change these safety
belts to the auto lock mode to secure
a child restraint.

NOTICE

The driver’s safety belt incorporates
the emergency lock mode only.

WARNING

• Do not install any child

restraint system in the front
passenger seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the
passenger airbag to deploy, it
could severely injure or kill an
infant or child seated in an
infant or child seat. Therefore,
only use a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat of your
vehicle.

• If the child restraint seat is not

anchored properly, the risk of
a child being seriously injured
or killed in a collision greatly
increases.

WARNING

• Before installing the child

restraint system, read the
instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manu-
facturer.

• If the seat belt does not oper-

ate as described, have the
system checked immediately
by your authorized Kia dealer.

• Failure to observe this manual

instructions regarding child
restraint system and the
instructions provided with the
child restraint system could
increase the chance and/or
severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
