WARNING - Uprighting seat
Do not press the release lever on a
manual seatback without holding
and controlling the seatback. The
seatback will spring upright possibly
impacting you or other passengers.
WARNING- Loose objects
Do not place anything in the dri-
ver's foot well or under the front
seats. Loose objects in the driver's
foot area could interfere with the
operation of the foot pedals.
WARNING- Driver respon-
sibility for passengers
The driver must advise the passen-
ger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the vehi-
cle is in motion. If a seat is reclined
during an accident, the occupant's
hips may slide under the lap por-
tion of the seat belt, applying great
force to the unprotected abdomen.

WARNING- Seat cushion
Occupants should never sit on
aftermarket seat cushions or sitting
cushions. The passenger's hips
may slide under the lap portion of
the seat belt during an accident or
a sudden stop.
WARNING- Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control of
your vehicle.
Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the
seatback and seatback adjust-
ment.
Sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still
maintaining comfortable control
of your vehicle. A distance of at
least 10" from your chest to the
steering wheel is recommended.
Failure to do so can result in
airbag inflation injuries to the
driver.

Safety features of your vehicle
For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.
Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency lock mode), you must
manually change these seat belts to the
auto lock mode to secure a child
restraint.
If the seat belt does not operate as
described in this section, have the sys-
tem checked immediately by your author-
ized Kia dealer.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If the vehicle headrest prevents proper
installation of a child seat (as described
in the child seat system manual), the
headrest of the respective seating posi-
tion shall be readjusted or entirely
removed.
Lacing a passenger seat belt into the
auto lock mode
The auto lock mode will help prevent the
normal movement of the child in the vehi-
cle from causing the seat belt to loosen
and compromise the child restraint sys-
tem. To secure a child restraint system,
use the following procedure.
WARNING- Child seat
installation
Always follow the instructions provided by the child restraint
system manufacturer. Child
restraint system manufacturers
know their products best.
Failure to observe this manual's instructions regarding child
restraint system and the instruc-
tions provided with the child
restraint system could result in
the improper installation of the
child restraint system which may
reduce the protection to your
child in a crash or a sudden stop.

How does the air bag system
operate
Air bag are activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START
the appropriate position.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side collision (if
equipped with side impact air bag or
curtain air bag) in order to help protect
the occupants from serious physical
injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a col-
lision and its direction. These two fac-
tors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic deployment/
inflation signal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of complex factors including
vehicle speed, angles of impact and
the density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle hits
in the collision. Though, factors are not
limited to those mentioned above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant. It is virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an accident.
It is much more likely that you will sim-
ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments after
the collision.
In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag
inflation is a consequence of extremely
short time in which a collision occurs
and the need to get the air bag
between the occupant and the vehicle
structures before the occupant impacts
those structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe collision
and is thus a necessary part of air bag
design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include facial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inflation speed also caus-
es the air bags to expand with a great
deal of force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the steer-
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant
is positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel.
WARNING - Airbag inflation
Sit as far back as possible from the
steering wheel while still maintain-
ing comfortable control of your
vehicle. A distance of at least 10"
from your chest to the steering
wheel is recommended. Failure to
do so can result in airbag inflation
injuries to the driver.

When you turn the ignition switch to the
ON position, if the immobilizer indicator
( ) goes off after blinking 5 times,
your transponder equipped in the ignition
key is out of order. You cannot start the
engine without the limp home procedure.
To start the engine, you have to input
your password by using the ignition
switch. Your password is only available
from an authorized Kia dealership.
Contact an authorized dealer for more
information.
The following procedure is how to input
your password of “2345” as an example.
1. Turn the ignition s witch to the ON posi-
tion. The immobilizer indicator ( )
will blink 5 times and go off indicating
the beginning of the limp home proce-
dure.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.
3. To enter the first digit (in this example “2”), turn the ignition switch to the ON
and ACC position twice. Perform the
same procedure for the next digits
between 3 seconds and 10 seconds
(for example, for “3”, turn the ignition
ON and ACC 3 times). 4. If all of the digits have been input suc-
cessfully, you have to start the engine
within 30 seconds. If you attempt to
start the engine after 30 seconds, the
engine will not start and you will have
to input your password again.
After performing the limp home proce-
dure, you have to see an authorized Kia
dealer immediately to inspect and repair
your ignition key or immobilizer system.

The Rear-Camera Display will activate
when the back-up light is ON with the
ignition switch ON and the shift lever in
the R (Reverse) position.
This system is a supplemental system
that displays a veiw from behind the vehi-
cle through the UVO audio or navigation
display while backing-up.Always keep the camera lens clean. If
lens is covered with foreign matter, the
camera may not operate normally.
REAR-CAMERA DISPLAY (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Rear Camera
Display
The rear view camera is not a safe-
ty device. It only serves to assist
the driver in identifying objects
directly behind the middle of the
vehicle, nor is it a substitute for
proper and safe backing-up proce-
dures. The camera does NOT cover
the complete area behind the vehi-
cle. Objects can be much closer
than they appear in the display
screen and can be distorted in both
size and proportion. The Rear-
Camera Display may not display
every object behind the vehicle.
WARNING - Backing &using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
camera when backing. You must
always use methods of viewing the
area behind you including looking
over both shoulders as well as con-
tinuously checking all three rear
view mirrors. Due to the difficulty of
ensuring that the area behind you
remains clear, always back slowly
and stop immediately if you even
suspect that a person, and espe-
cially a child, might be behind you.
