Installing a Child Restraint in the Rear Center Seat
(If Equipped)
To install a child restraint in the rear center seat, do the
following:
1. Place the child restraint in the desired position.
Route the lap belt through the restraint according to
the seat manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle until an audi-
ble “click” is heard, indicating the belt is locked in
the buckle.
3. Adjust the lap safety belt for a snug hold on the child
restraint by pulling on the loose end of the belt.
To return the safety belt retractor to the emergency
lock mode, allow the seat belt to retract fully to its
stowed position. The retractor will then automatically
switch back to the emergency lock mode for normal
adult usage.
WARNING - Auto Lock Mode
The lap/shoulder belt automatically returns to
the “emergency lock mode” whenever the belt
is allowed to retract fully. Therefore, the pre-
ceding six steps must be followed each time a
child restraint is installed.
If the safety 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 collision, since the child seat will not be
effectively held in place.

der portion of the safety belt. The belt retractor
applies tension to the belt in order to take up excess
webbing automatically and to maintain tension on
the belt. For maximum safety, do not put any
excess slack into the safety belt.

WARNING - Front Safety Belts
 The front 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 safe-
ty belt under the outside arm or behind the
back.
 Never wear the shoulder portion of the safe-
ty belt across the neck or face.
 Wear the lap portion of the safety belt as
low on the hips as possible. Be sure the lap
belt fits snugly around the hips. Never wear
the lap belt over your waist.
 Never drive or ride with a twisted or
jammed safety belt. If you cannot untwist or
unjam the safety belt, see the nearest Kia
dealer immediately.
 Never use a single belt to restrain more than
one person at a time.
Failure to follow these warnings will increase
the risk and severity of injury in an accident.
