SAFETY BELT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMWe strongly recommend that the driver
and all passengers be properly restrained
at all times by using the safety belts
provided with the vehicle. Proper use of
the safety belts decreases the risk of
severe injury or death in accidents or
sudden stops.Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:
• The seatback is upright.
• The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
• The lap belt portion of the safety belt
is snug and low on the hips.
• The shoulder belt portion of the
safety belt is snug against the chest.
• The knees are straight forward.
To help you remember to fasten your
safety belt, a warning light will flash and
a chime will sound.
See safety belt warning on page 4-22.
All seats have lap/shoulder belts.
The center rear seat has a lap/shoulder
belt.
Inertial locks in the safety belt retractors
allow all of the lap/shoulder safety belts
to remain unlocked during normal
vehicle operation.This allows the
occupants some freedom of movement
and increased comfort while using the
safety belts. If a force is applied to thevehicle, such as a strong stop, a sharp
turn, or a collision, the safety belt
retractors will automatically lock the
safety belts.
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
corners.
The center rear seat safety belt does not
have an inertial lock so it is always in a
locked condition.
Whenever possible, use the center rear
seat position to install your child
restraint. The center rear seat is the best
position to install your child restraint.

WARNING
The driver and all passengers
should always use the safety
belts provided in order to
minimize the risk of severe
bodily injury.

3-28RESTRAINT OF LARGE
CHILDRENAs children grow, they may need to use
new child-restraint systems, including
larger child seats or booster seats, which
are appropriate for their increased size.
A child who has outgrown available
child-restraint systems should use the
belts provided in the vehicle. When seated
in the rear outboard seats, the child should
be restrained by the lap/shoulder belt.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center of the
vehicle. If the shoulder belt still touches
their face or neck they may need to bereturned to a child restraint system.
In addition, after-market devices are
available from independent manufacturers
which help pull the shoulder belt down
and away from the child’s face or neck.
CAUTION - Hot Metal
Parts
Safety belts and seats can become
hot in a vehicle that has been closed
during warm/hot weather; they
could burn a child. Check seat
covers and buckles before you
place a child anywhere near them.
WARNING - Shoulder
Belts ON Small Children
 Never allow a shoulder belt to
be in contact with a child’s
neck or face while the vehicle
is in motion.
 If safety belts are not properly
worn and adjusted, the risk of
death or serious injury to
such a child is high.
WARNING - Child
Restraints
 All child restraint systems are
designed to be secured in
vehicle seats by lap belts or
the lap-belt portion of a lap/
should-er belt.
Children will be endangered
in a crash if their child
restraint systems are not
properly secur-ed by the
safety belts in the vehicle.
 According to accident
statistics, children are safer
when proper-ly restrained in
the rear seatin positions
rather than the front seating
positions.
 When a child restraint system
is not secured by a safety
belt, store it in the trunk so
that it will not be thrown
forward in the event of a
sudden stop or accident.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
3-36 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.
SAFETY BELT WARNING
LIGHT AND CHIMEAs a reminder to the driver and
passenger, safety belt warning light will
blink for approximately 6 seconds each
time you turn the ignition switch ON.
If the driver's lap/shoulder belt is not
fastened when the key is turned ON or if
it is unfastened after the key is turned
ON, the safety belt warning light blinks
for approximately 6 seconds and safety
belt warning chime sounds for
approximately 6 seconds.

WARNING
 If the child restraint is not
anchored properly, the risk of
a child being seriously injured
or killed in a collision greatly
increases.
 Do not mount more than one
child restraint to a single
tether or to a child restraint
lower anchorage point. The
improper increased load may
cause the anchorage points or
tether anchor to break,
causing serious 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
misuse the ISOFIX anchors by
attempting to attach a child
restraint seat in the middle rear
seating position position to the
ISOFIX anchors. 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 locations
shown in the illustration.
 Always follow the installation
and use instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the
child restraint.

3-44AIR BAG SYSTEM
COMPONENTSThe main components of your vehicle’s
SRS are:
• One air bag in the steering wheel for
the driver, and another in the
dashboard for the front passenger.
• A diagnostic system that continually
monitors system operation.
• An indicator light to warn you of a
possible problem with the system.
• Emergency power backup in case
your car’s electrical system is
disconnected in a crash.To indicate that your vehicle is equipped
with air bags, the air bag covers on the
steering wheel and on the dashboard are
marked with “SRS AIR BAG.”
HOW THE AIR BAG SYSTEM
WORKSThe driver’s air bag is stored in the
center of the steering wheel. The
passenger side air bag is stored in the
front instrument panel above the glove
box.
If you ever have a severe frontal
collision, your air bags will instantly
inflate to help protect you from serious
physical injury.
There is no single vehicle speed at which
the air bags will inflate. Generally, air
bags are designed to inflate in severe
frontal collisions. The air bag
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
reacts to the severity of a collision and its
direction. These two factors determine
whether the sensors send out an
electronic deployment or inflation signal.
Whether the air bags will inflate depends
on a number of factors including vehicle
speed, angle of impact and the density
and stiffness of the vehicles or objects
that your vehicle hits in the collision.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTThe purpose of the air bag warning light
in your instrument panel is to alert you of
a potential problem with your Air Bag -
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Have the system checked if:
• The light does not illuminate when
you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays ON after the engine
starts.
• The light comes ON or flashes while
you are driving.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM SERVICEYour Supplemental Restraint System is
virtually maintenance-free. There are no
parts which you can service.
You must have the system serviced
under the following circumstances:
• If an air bag ever inflates, the air bag
must be replaced. Do not try to
remove or discard the air bag by
yourself.
This must be done by an Authorized
Kia Dealer.
• If the air bag warning indicator light
alerts you of a problem, have the air
bag system checked as soon as
possible. Otherwise, your air bag
might not inflate when you need it.
The entire SRS system must be inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer 10 years
after the vehicle manufacture date.
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
AIR
BAG
AS2B03035
 Do not use excessive force
on the side of the seat.
 Do not place any objects
over the airbag or between
the airbag and yourself.
 Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag,etc.) between
the front door and the front
seat. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the side air
bag inflates.
 To prevent unexpected
deploy-ment of the side air
bag that may result in
personal injury, avoid impact
to the side airbag sensor
when the ignition key is
“ON”.
