7. Double check that the retractor isin the “Auto Lock” mode by
attempting to pull more of the safe-
ty belt out of the retractor. If you
cannot, the retractor is in the “Auto
Lock” mode.
To remove the child restraint, press
the release button on the buckle and
then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of
the restraint and allow the safety belt
to retract fully.
✽ ✽ NOTICEWhen the safety belt is allowed to
retract to its fully stowed position,
the retractor will automatically
switch from the “Auto Lock” mode
to the emergency lock mode for nor-
mal adult usage.
WARNING
- Auto lock
mode
The lap/shoulder belt automati-
cally returns to the “emergency
lock mode” whenever the belt is
allowed to retract fully.
Therefore, the preceding seven
steps must be followed each
time a child restraint is
installed.
If the safety belt is not placed in
the “auto lock” mode, severe
injury or death could occur to
the child and/or other occupants
in the vehicle in a collision,
since the child restraint will not
be effectively held in place.

Securing a child restraint seat
with “Tether Anchor” systemChild restraint hook holders are
located on the shelf behind the rear
seats.
1. Open the tether anchor cover on
the shelf behind the rear seats. 2. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable head-
rest, route the tether strap under
the headrest and between the
headrest posts, otherwise route
the tether strap over the top of the
seatback.
3. Connect the tether strap hook to the correct child restraint hook
holder and tighten to secure the
seat.
WARNING
If the tether strap is secured
incorrectly, the child restraint
seat may not be restrained
properly in the event of a colli-
sion.

Child seat lower anchorsSome child seat manufacturers
make child restraint seats that are
labeled as International Standards
Organization Fixed (ISOFIX) or
ISOFIX-compatible child restraint
seats. These seats include two rigid
or webbing mounted attachments
that connect to two ISOFIX anchors
at specific seating positions in your
vehicle. This type of child restraint
seat eliminates the need to use seat
belts to attach the child seat for for-
ward-facing child restraint seats in
the rear seats.
WARNING
- Childrestraint
Check that the child restraint
system is secure by pushing
and pulling it in different direc-
tions. Incorrectly fitted child
restraints may swing, twist, tip
or come away causing death or
injury.
WARNING - Child restraint anchorage
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only
those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses or for
attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
The tether strap may not work
properly if attached some-
where other than the correct
tether anchor.

ISOFIX anchors have been provided
in your vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors
are located in the left and right out-
board rear seating positions. Their
locations are shown in the illustra-
tion. There is no ISOFIX anchor pro-
vided for the center rear seating
position.
The ISOFIX anchors are located
between the seatback and the seat
cushion of the rear seat left and right
outboard seating positions. Follow the child seat manufacturer
’s
instructions to properly install child
restraint seats with ISOFIX or
ISOFIX-compatible attachments.
Once you have installed the ISOFIX
child restraint, assure that the seat is
properly attached to the ISOFIX and
tether anchors. Also, test the child
restraint seat before you place the
child in it. Tilt the seat from side to
side. Also try to tug the seat forward.
Check to see if the anchors hold the
seat in place.
WARNING
If the child restraint is not
anchored properly, the risk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision greatly
increases.

WARNING
Do not mount more than one
child restraint to a single teth-
er or to a child restraint lower
anchorage point. The improp-
er increased load may cause
the anchorage points or tether
anchor to break, causing seri-
ous injury or death.
Do not install a child restraint
seat at the rear center seating
position using the vehicle ’s
ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX
anchors are only provided for
the left and right outboard rear
seating positions. Do not mis-
use the ISOFIX anchors by
attempting to attach a child
restraint seat in the middle
rear seating position to the
ISOFIX anchors.
(Continued)
(Continued)In a crash, the child restraint
seat ISOFIX attachments may
not be strong enough to
secure the child restraint seat
improperly in the rear center
seating position and may
break, causing serious injury
or death.
Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible child restraint seat
only to the appropriate loca-
tions shown in the illustration.
Always follow the installation
and use instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the
child restraint.

What your airbag system doesDriver’s airbag and front passenger’ s
airbag are designed to supplement
the protection offered by the safety
belt in certain frontal collisions.
Likewise, side airbag and curtain
airbags are designed to supplement
the protection offered by the safety
belt in side collisions. Safety belts
are designed to reduce the injury of
the driver or passengers in case of
light impact or collision. However, to
help reduce impact on driver or pas-
sengers in a serious collision, seat
belts must also be correctly worn.
What your airbag system does
not doThe air bag system is designed to
supplement the protection offered by
the safety belt system. IT IS NOT A
SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SAFETY
BELT.

The importance of using
safety beltsThere are four very important rea-
sons to use safety belts even with an
airbag supplemental restraint sys-
tem. They:
help keep you in the proper posi-
tion (away from the airbag) when it
inflates.
reduce the risk of harm in rollover,
side impact (vehicles not equipped
with side and curtain airbags) or
rear impact collisions, because an
airbag is not designed to inflate in
such situations and even a side
curtain airbag is designed to inflate
only in certain side impact colli-
sions.
reduce the risk of harm in frontal or
side collisions which are not
severe enough to actuate the
airbag supplemental restraint sys-
tem.
reduce the risk of being thrown
from your vehicle.
WARNING
- Airbags &
safety belts
Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers
must always wear the safety
belts provided in order to min-
imize the risk and severity of
injury in the event of a colli-
sion or rollover.
Always wear your safety belt.
It can help keep you away
from the air bags during heavy
braking just before a collision.
If occupants are not fastened
or correctly seated, they can-
not be protected, and thus
face serious injury or death.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Driver’ s and front passenger ’s
airbag are designed to inflate
only in certain frontal colli-
sion, and side and curtain
airbags are designed to inflate
in certain side impacts. They
will generally not provide pro-
tection in side impacts (vehi-
cles not equipped with side
and curtain airbags) or rear
impacts, rollovers, less severe
frontal collisions. They will not
provide protection from later
impacts in a multi-impact col-
lision.

Front passenger’ s airbagFront passenger’s airbag is stored in
the instrument panel on the glove
box.
Since you cannot know which
airbags will deploy or from what
direction, never put any objects or
ornaments on the instrument panel.
1GHA2257HLZ208
WARNING
You must always sit as far
back from the steering wheel
airbag as possible (chest at
least 250 mm [10 inches] away
from the steering wheel), while
still maintaining a comfortable
seating position for good
vehicle control, in order to
reduce the risk of injury or
death in a collision.
Never place objects over the
airbag storage compartments
or between the airbags and
yourself. Due to the speed and
force of the airbag inflation,
such objects could hit your
body at high speed and cause
severe bodily injury and even
death.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not put stickers or orna-
ments on the steering wheel
cover. These may interfere
with the deployment of the
airbag.

(Continued)
If driver brakes the vehicle
heavily in an urgent situa-
tions, occupants will be
thrown forward. If front pas-
sengers are not wearing the
safety belts, they will be
directly in front of the storage
compartment when inflation
occurs. In that situation, seri-
ous injury or death is possi-
ble.
Never allow front passenger
to put their hands or feet on
the instrument panel or put
their face close to the instru-
ment panel. The airbag will
impact the front passenger
when it inflates.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Never allow children/old
and feeble persons/pregnant
women to sit on the front pas-
senger’ s seat. Do not put child
restraint system on the front
passenger’ s seat either. They
may be seriously injured by
the airbag inflation when
airbag deploys.
Do not put objects or stickers
on the instrument panel. Do
not apply any accessory on
the front windshield glass or
do not install aftermarket mir-
rors or accessories on the fac-
tory installed rearview mirror.
These may interfere with the
deployment of airbag inflation
or could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodi-
ly injury and even death.
WARNING
The front seat passenger ’s
airbag is much larger than the
steering wheel airbag and
inflates with considerably
more force. It can seriously
hurt or kill a passenger who is
not in the proper position and
wearing the safety belt proper-
ly. The front passengers
should always move their seat
as far back as practical and sit
back in their seat.
It is essential that the front
passengers always wear their
safety belts, even when the
vehicle is moving in a parking
lot or up a driveway into
garage.

Side airbagSide airbags are stored in the left
side of the driver’ s seat, right side of
the front passenger’ s seat and left
and right sides of the rear seats.
If airbag inflation conditions are met
(side collision), they will inflate.
Curtain airbagCurtain airbags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
It is designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occu-
pants in certain side impact colli-
sions.
WARNING
Do not use any accessory
seat covers for the vehicle
equipped with side airbags.
Use of seat covers could inter-
fere with side airbag deploy-
ment.
If seat or seat cover is dam-
aged, have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer. Inform
them that your vehicle is
equipped with side airbags.
Do not make modifications or
additions to the seats. If seats
not allowed by Kia Motors are
used, unexpected injury may
result in due to the malfunc-
tion of the airbag system.
