Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's seats

Adjusting the height up and down
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the head-
rest, push and hold the release button (2)
on the headrest support and lower the
headrest to the desired position (3).
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height as the centre of gravity of
an occupant's head. Generally,
the centre of gravity of most peo-
ple's head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed as severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec-
tion against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest posi-
tion of the driver's seat whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
OTA030005L
CAUTION
If you recline the seatback
towards the front with the head-
rest and seat cushion raised,
the headrest may come in con-
tact with the sunvisor or other
parts of the vehicle.

Headrest (if equipped)
The rear seat is equipped with headrests
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for passengers, but also helps to protect
the head and neck in the event of a colli-
sion.
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height as the centre of gravity of
an occupant's head. Generally,
the centre of gravity of most peo-
ple's head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes.
Also adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed. Severe
injury to an occupant may occur
in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec-
tion against severe neck injuries
when properly adjusted.

to increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
WARNING

position after adjusting it to proper-
ly protect the occupants.
OTA030012OTA030011
WARNING
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks (or cushions) is to allow
you carry longer objects that could
not be accommodated in the cargo
area.
Never allow passengers sit on top
of the folded down seatback whilst
the car is moving as this is not a
proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use. This
could result in serious injury or
death in case of an accident or sud-
den stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seatbacks. Doing this could
allow cargo to slide forward and
cause injury or damage during sud-
den stops.

To fold the rear seat cushion and seat
back:
The rear seatbacks may be folded for-
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.
1. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and slide the front seat for-
ward.
2. Insert the rear seat belt metal tab into
the holder to prevent the seat belt form
being damaged.CAUTION
When folding or unfolding the rear
seat, make sure to move the front
seat fully forward. If there are not
enough space to fold the rear
seat, never fold it by force. It will
cause damage to the headrest or
the related parts of the seat.
Before using the seat belt, be
sure to remove it from the holder.
If you pull out the seat belt whilst
it's in the holder, it may damage
the seat belt or holder.
Use the holder only when there is
no passengers in the rear seat or
when you need to fold the rear seat.
OTA030013WARNING

can prevent the buckle from being
damaged by the rear seatback.
WARNING
When you return the rear seatback
to its upright position after being

belt webbing or buckle. Do not allow
the seat belt webbing or buckle to
get caught or pinched in the rear
seat. Ensure that the seatback is
completely locked into its upright
position by pushing on the top of the
seatback. Otherwise, in an accident
or sudden stop, the seat could fold
down and allow cargo enter the pas-
senger compartment, which could
result in serious injury or death.

the driver’s position is properly set
according to the driver’s physical
figure, do not fold the rear seat. It
may increase body injuries in a
sudden stop or collision.

For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.
Installing a child restraint system by
lap/shoulder belt
To install a child restraint system on the
outboard or centre rear seats, do the fol-
lowing:
1. Place the child restraint system in the
seat and route the lap/shoulder belt
around or through the restraint, follow-
ing the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. Be sure the seat belt web-
bing is not twisted.
E2MS103005
WARNING
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.
WARNING- Child seat
installation
A child can be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the child
restraint is not properly anchored
to the car and the child is not
properly restrained in the child
restraint. Before installing the
child restraint system, read the
instructions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
If the seat belt does not operate
as described in this section, have
the system checked immediately
by your authorised Kia dealer.
Failure to observe this manual's
instructions regarding child
restraint systems and the
instructions provided with the
child restraint system could
increase the chance and/or
severity of injury in an accident.
If the vehicle headrest prevents
proper installation of a child seat,
the headrest of the respective
seating position shall be read-
justed or entirely removed.

Securing a child restraint seat with
“Tether Anchor” system
(if equipped)
Child restraint hook holders are located
on the floor behind the rear seats.1. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable headrest,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over
the top of the seatback.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the
appropriate child restraint hook holder
and tighten to secure the child restraint
seat.
WARNING- Tether strap
A child can be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the child
restraint is not properly anchored
to the car and the child is not
properly restrained in the child
restraint. Always follow the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use.
Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multi-
ple seats may cause the tethers
or anchorage points to break,
causing serious injury or death.
WARNING - Child restraint
check
Check that the child restraint sys-
tem is secure by pushing and
pulling it in different directions.
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, twist, tip or separate
causing death or serious injury.
