Headrest (for front seat)The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passenger,
but also helps protect the head and
neck in the event of a rear collision.
OHM038048N
WARNING
 For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head-
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at
the same height of the center
of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people'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 cush-
ion that holds the body away
from the seatback is not rec-
ommended.
 Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed.
Severe injury to the occu-
pants may occur in the event
of an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against
neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
 Do not adjust the headrest position of the driver’s seat
while the vehicle is in motion.

3Active headrest
The active headrest is designed to
move forward and upward during a
rear impact. This helps prevent the
driver's and front passenger’s heads
from moving backward and thus
helps minimize neck injuries.
For your safety, the active headrest
can’t be removed. If there is any
problem with the active headrest,
take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the system
checked.
Seat warmer (if equipped)The seat warmer is provided to warm
the front seats during cold weather.

position, push either of the switches
to warm the driver's seat or the front
passenger's seat.
WARNING
A gap between the seat and the
headrest release button may
appear when sitting on the seat
or when you push or pull the
seat. Be careful not to get your
finger, etc. caught in the gap.

on top of the folded down seat-
back while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This is not a proper seating
position and no seat belts are

could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or dam-
age during sudden stops.
