Storing with the transmitter
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK from ON
and lock all the doors using the transmit-
ter. The seat and outside rearview mirror
positions will be stored in the system
memory.
Driver’s position recalling with trans-
mitter
Unlock the door with the transmitter,
positions stored in the system memory
will be recalled automatically.
If using two transmitters, recalling times
may vary because stored positions in
each transmitter may be different.
Example) If doors are locked with trans-
mitter A and unlocked with transmitter B,
the positions memorized when unlocked
with transmitter B will be recalled and
may take slightly longer than if unlocked
with transmitter A.

Safety belt restraint system We 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. In most states, and in
Canada, the law requires their use.
All seats have lap/shoulder belts. Inertial
locks in the safety belt retractors allow all
of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain
unlocked during normal vehicle opera-
tion. This allows the occupants some
freedom of movement and increased
comfort while using the safety belts. If a
force is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a collision,
the safety belt retractors will automatical-
ly lock the safety belts.
WARNING
• Do not strike the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies.
• Do not attempt to s ervice or
repair the pre-tensioner seat belt
system in any manner.
• Improper handling of the pre-ten- sioner seat belt assemblies, and
failure to heed the warning s not
to strike, modify, inspect, place,
service or repair the pre-tension-
er seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadver-
tent activation caus ing serious
injury.
Always wear the seat belts
when driving or riding in a motor
vehicle.WARNING- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious or
fatal injury in an accident, the driv-
er and all passenger s should use
the appropriate safety restraints for
their age and size. The presence of
air bags does not change the need
to be properly restrained by a safe-
ty belt or s ize-appropriate child
res traint. In fact, air bags are
designed to work the be st when
passenger s are correctly re strained
in the vehicle. Be s ure you are
familiar with the information in this
section, including the information
on infant and child re straints. Read
the safety warnings on the sun
visor s of your vehicle also.

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 u se 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 cau se
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.
WARNING- After a colli- sion
• Lap/s houlder belt assemblies
may be s tretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress and
force s of a collision.
• The entire res traint system
s hould be ins pected following
any collision. All belts, retractor s,
anchor s and hardware damaged
by a collision should be replaced
before the vehicle is operated
again.

Lap/shoulder belt
To f asten the front lap/shoulder belt:
1. Grasp the buckle and tongue plate.
2. Slowly pull the lap/shoulder belt out
from the retractor. 3. Insert the tongue plate (
➀) into the
open end of the buckle (
➁) until an
audible “click” is heard, indicating the
belt is locked in the buckle. 4. Position the lap portion (
➀) of the belt
across your lap as LOW ON THE HIPS
as possible to reduce the risk of sliding
under it during an accident. Adjust the
belt to a SNUG FIT by pulling up on
the shoulder portion (
➁) of the safety
belt. The belt retractor is designed to
take up excess webbing automatically
and to maintain tension on the belt. For
your safety, do not put any excess
slack into the safety belt at any loca-
tion.

WARNING
• The height adju ster must be in
the locked pos ition when the
vehicle is moving.
• The misadjustment of height of the shoulder belt could reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt
in a crash.
WARNING
• The seatbacks should always
remain in a comfortable, upright
position while the vehicle is in
motion. The safety belt system
will provide the most protection
with the seatbacks in an upright
position.
• Never wear the shoulder portion of the safety belt under the out-
side arm or behind the back.
• Never wear the shoulder portion of the safety belt across the neck
or face.
• Wear the lap portion of the safety
belt as low on the hips a s possi-
ble. Be sure the lap belt fits snug-
ly around the hip s. Never wear the
lap belt over your wai st.

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 re straint
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.
✽ NOTICE
The 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 ri sk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collis ion greatly
increases.
WARNING
• Before ins talling the child
restraint 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 ins tructions regarding child
restraint system and the instruc-
tions provided with the child
restraint system could increase
the chance and/or s everity of
injury in an accident.

Placing a passenger safety belt
into the auto lock mode
The 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 iseasy to access in case of an emergency.

3. Pull the shoulder portion of the safetybelt all the way out. When the shoulder
portion of the safety belt is fully
extended, it will shift the retractor to
the “Auto Lock” (child restraint) mode. 4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of
the safety belt to retract and listen for
an audible “clicking” or “ratcheting”
sound. This indicates that the retractor
is in the “Auto Lock” mode. If no distinct
sound is heard, repeat steps 3 and 4. 5. Remove as much slack from the belt
as possible by pushing down on the
child restraint system while feeding the
shoulder belt back into the retractor.
6. Push and pull on the child restraint system to confirm that the safety belt is
holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the safety belt and repeat
steps 2 through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in the “Auto Lock” mode by attempting to
pull more of the safety 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.

✽NOTICE
When 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 normal adult usage.
Securing a child re straint seat with
“Tether Anchor” system
Child 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 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.
3. Connect the tether strap hook to the correct child restraint hook holder and
tighten to secure the seat.
WARNING- Auto lockmode
The lap/shoulder belt automatically
returns to the “emergency lock
mode” whenever the belt i s allowed
to retract fully. Therefore, the pre-
ceding seven steps mu st be fol-
lowed each time a child re straint is
installed.
If the s afety belt is not placed in the
“auto lock” mode, severe injury or
death could occur to the child
and/or other occupants in the vehi-
cle in a collis ion,since the child
res traint will not be effectively held
in place.
