This couldresult in serious injury or death incase of an accident or sudden stop.Objects carried on the folded downseatback should not extend higherthan the top of the front seats. Thiscould allow cargo to slide forwardand cause injury or damage duringsudden stops.

ward to provide additional cargo space and to provide access to the cargo area. • To raise the seatback, lift and push it firmly until it clicks into place. • When you return the seatback to its
upright position, reposition the rear
safety belts so that they can be used
by rear seat passengers.

WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback in‐creases your chance of serious or fa‐tal injuries in the event of a collisionor sudden stop. The protection ofyour restraint system (seat beltsand air bags) is greatly reduced byreclining your seat. Seat belts mustbe snug against your hips and chestto work properly. The more theseatback is reclined, the greater thechance that an occupant's hips willslide under the lap belt causing seri‐ous internal injuries or the occu‐pant's neck could strike the shoulderbelt. Drivers and passengers shouldalways sit well back in their seats,properly belted, and with the seat‐backs upright.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be dis‐
assembled or modified. In addition, care should be taken to assure that seat
belts and belt hardware are not dam‐
aged by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
WARNING
•When you return the rear seat‐back to its upright position afterthe rear seatback has been foldeddown, be careful not to damagethe seat belt webbing or buckle. Besure that the webbing or buckledoes not get caught or pinched inthe rear seat. A seat belt withdamaged webbing or buckle couldpossibly fail during a collision orsudden stop, resulting in seriousinjury. If the webbing or bucklesare damaged, get them replacedimmediately.
•Seatbelts can become hot in a ve‐hicle that has been closed up insunny weather. They could burninfants and children.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected peri‐
odically for wear or damage of any
kind. Any damaged parts should be re‐ placed as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.
If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or as‐
semblies should be replaced if the vehi‐
cle has been involved in an accident. This should be done even if no damage
is visible. In this case, have the system
replaced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to consult an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner.

SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safe‐
ly service by yourself. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, have the sys‐
tem inspected by a professional work‐ shop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
•Modification to SRS components orwiring, including the addition ofany kind of badges to the pad cov‐ers or modifications to the bodystructure, can adversely affectSRS performance and lead to pos‐sible injury.
•For cleaning the air bag pad cov‐ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistenedwith plain water. Solvents or clean‐ers could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deploymentof the system.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•No objects should be placed overor near the air bag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panel,and the front passenger's panelabove the glove box, because anysuch object could cause harm ifthe vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the air bags to in‐flate.
•If the air bags inflate, have thesystem replaced by a professionalworkshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring, or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing so couldresult in injury, due to accidentalinflation of the air bags or by ren‐dering the SRS inoperative.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•If components of the air bag sys‐tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, certainsafety precautions must be ob‐served. An authorized Kia dealerknows these precautions and cangive you the necessary informa‐tion. Failure to follow these pre‐cautions and procedures could in‐crease the risk of personal injury.
