WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the front
passenger seat can be force-
fully struck by an inflating air
bag resulting in serious orfatal injuries.
Always follow the child restraint system manufactur-
er’s instructions for installa-
tion and use of the childrestraint.
Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the
vehicle and your child is
securely restrained in the
child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces cre-ated during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and
throw the child against the
vehicle’s interior.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never put a seat belt overyourself and a child. During a
crash, the belt could press
deep into the child causingserious internal injuries.
Never leave children unattend- ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The vehicle can
heat up very quickly, resulting
in serious injuries to children
inside. Even very young chil-
dren may inadvertently cause
the vehicle to move, entangle
themselves in the windows, or
lock themselves or others
inside the vehicle.
Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use thesame seat belt.
Children often squirm and reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride withthe shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in the rear seat.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel on the seat or floor
of a moving vehicle. During a
collision or sudden stop, the
child can be violently thrown
against the vehicle’s interior,
resulting in serious injury.
Never use an infant carrier or a child safety seat that
"hooks" over a seatback, it
may not provide adequatesecurity in an accident.
Seat belts can become very hot, especially when the vehi-
cle is parked in direct sun-
light. Always check the seat
belt buckles before fastening
them over a child.
After an accident, we recom- mend the system to be
checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
If there is not enough space to place the child restraint sys- tem because of the driver's
seat, install the child restraintsystem in the rear right seat.
