Restrictions in handling keysWhen leaving keys with parking lot and
valet attendants, the following proce-
dures will ensure that your vehicle’s trunk
and glove box compartment cannot be
opened in your absence.1. Unlock the glove box with the master
key and open it.
2. Set the trunk lid control button in the glove box compartment to OFF (not
depressed). In the OFF position, the
trunk cannot be unlocked with either
the trunk release lever inside the car or
trunk open button of transmitter.
3. Close the glove box, and lock the glove box using the master key.
4. Leave the sub key with the attendant. The trunk and glove box are secured
because the sub key only allows the
engine to start and locks and unlocks
the door.

Knowing your vehicle
Since the inertial locks do not require a
collision in order to lock up, you may
become aware of the safety belts locking
while braking or going around sharp cor-
ners.The rear safety belts use a special auto-
lock feature designed to allow a child
restraint to be used without an added
locking clip. These safety belt positions
normally lock only under extreme or
emergency conditions (emergency lock
mode). However, they can be adjusted so
that they remain in fixed and locked when
a child restraint system is in place. (Use
this auto-lock mode only to secure a child
restraint, never for passengers restrained
by the safety belts.) Page 3-46 gives
instructions on placing the safety belt in
the auto lock mode.
The driver’
s safety belt can only operate
in the emergency lock mode. Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:
The seatback is upright.
The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
The lap belt is snug across the hips.
The shoulder belt is snug across the
chest.
The knees are straight forward.
To help you remember to fasten your
safety belt, a warning light will come on
and a chime will sound. See Safety Belt
Warning Light and Chime on page 3-35.
WARNING
Always use the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
Never install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.
WARNING
- After a colli- sion
Lap/shoulder belt assemblies
may be stretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress and
forces of a collision.
The entire restraint system should be inspected following
any collision. All belts, retractors,
anchors and hardware damaged
by a collision should be replaced
before the vehicle is operated
again.

Child restraint system
(if equipped)For small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required by
law. This child seat or infant seat should
be of appropriate size for the child and
should be installed in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. It is
strongly recommended that the seat be
placed in the vehicle's rear seat since
this can make an important contribution
to safety.
Children riding in the car should sit on
the rear seat and must always be proper-
ly restrained to minimize the risk of injury
in an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver. According to accident statis-
tics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in the
front seat.You are required by law to use safety
restraints for children. If small children
ride in your vehicle you must put them in
a child restraint system (safety seat).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child restraint
system, make sure it fits your car and
seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all
the instructions provided by the manufac-
turer when installing the child restraint
system.
ADAIRBAG
WARNING
A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never
install a child or infant seat on the
front passenger's seat.
Should an accident occur and
cause the passenger air bag to
deploy, it could severely injure or
kill an infant or child seated in an
infant or child seat. Thus, only use
a child restraint in the rear seat of
your vehicle.

Since a safety belt or child
restraint system can become very
hot if it is left in a closed vehicle,
be sure to check the seat cover
and buckles before placing a
child there.
When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the trunk
or fasten it with a safety belt or
LATCH system so that it will not
be thrown forward in the case of a
sudden stop or an accident.
Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in
the rear seat and be restrained
with the available lap/shoulder
belts. Never allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Always make sure that the shoul-der belt portion of the lap/shoul-
der belt is positioned midway
over the shoulder, never across
the neck or behind the back. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoul-
der belt must always be posi-
tioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as pos-
sible.
If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, an approved booster
seat in the rear seat must be used
in order to raise the child's seat-
ing height so that the seat belt
will properly fit the child.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Never allow a child to stand up orkneel on the seat.
Never use an infant carrier or child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback; it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an acci-
dent.
Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a
moving vehicle, as this could
result in serious injury to the
child in the event of an accident
or a sudden stop. Holding a child
in a moving vehicle does not pro-
vide the child with any means of
protection during an accident,
even if the person holding the
child is wearing a seat belt.

Knowing your vehicle
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 driver’s)
safety belts move freely under normal
conditions and only lock under extreme
or emergency conditions (emergency
lock mode), you must manually change
these safety belts to the auto lock mode
to secure a child restraint.✽ ✽ NOTICEThe 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 air bag
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 system
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 childrestraint system, read the instruc-
tions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the system
checked immediately by your
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to observe this manual instructions regarding child
restraint system and the instruc-
tions provided with the child
restraint system could increase
the chance and/or severity of
injury in an accident.

3Placing a passenger safety belt
into the auto lock modeThe use of the auto lock mode will
ensure that the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle does not cause the
safety belt to be pulled out and loosen
the firmness of its hold on the child
restraint system. To secure a child
restraint system, use the following proce-
dure.
Installing a child restraint system by
lap/shoulder belt
To install a child restraint system on the
outboard or center rear seats, do the fol-
lowing:
1. Place the child restraint system in theseat and route the lap/shoulder belt
around or through the restraint, follow-
ing the restraint manufacturer’ s
instructions. Be sure the safety belt
webbing is not twisted. 2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into
the buckle. Listen for the distinct “click”
sound.
Position the release button so that it is easy to access in case of an emergency.
