WARNING
- Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous even if the key is not
in the ignition. Children copy
adults and they could place the
key in the ignition. The ignition
key would enable children to
operate power windows or other
controls, or even make the vehi-
cle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even
death. Never leave the keys in
your vehicle with unsupervised
children.
WARNING
Use only Kia original parts for
the ignition key in your vehicle.
If an aftermarket key is used, the
ignition switch may not return
to ON after START. If this hap-
pens, the starter will continue to
operate causing damage to the
starter motor and possible fire
due to excessive current in the
wiring.

Safety belt restraint system
We strongly recommend that the
driver and all passengers be proper-
ly restrained at all times by using the
safety belts provided with the vehi-
cle. 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 retrac-
tors allow all of the lap/shoulder safe-
ty belts to remain unlocked during
normal vehicle operation. 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 colli-
sion, the safety belt retractors will
automatically lock the safety belts. 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 corners.
Always use the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
Never install a child restraint system
in the front passenger position, as an
inflating air bag could cause serious
or fatal injury to a child in that posi-
tion.
WARNING
- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious
or fatal injury in an accident, the
driver and all passengers
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
safety belt or size-appropriate
child restraint. In fact, air bags
are designed to work the best
when passengers are correctly
restrained in the vehicle. Be
sure you are familiar with the
information in this section,
including the information on
infant and child restraints. Read
the safety warnings on the sun
visors of your vehicle also.

Knowing your vehicle
The rear safety belts use a special
auto-lock feature designed to allow a
child restraint to be used in these
positions without an added locking
clip. They 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 placed in
these positions. (Use this auto-lock
mode only to secure a child restraint,
never for passengers restrained by
the safety belts.) Page 3-44 gives
instructions on placing the safety belt
in the auto lock mode.
The drivers safety belt can only oper-
ate 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 3-33.
WARNING -
Cargo area
(if equipped)
Passengers should never be
allowed to ride in the cargo area
of a vehicle. No safety belts are
provided for the cargo area.
Persons riding in the vehicle
without a fastened safety belt
are much more likely to suffer
serious bodily injury or death
during an accident.
WARNING
- Twisted belts
A twisted or jammed safety belt
cannot restrain you properly. If
you cannot untwist or unjam the
safety belt, have an authorized
Kia dealer it immediately. Never
drive or ride with a twisted or
jammed safety belt.
WARNING
- After a colli- sion
Lap/shoulder belt assemblies may be stretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress
and forces of a collision.
The entire restraint system should be inspected following
any collision. All belts, retrac-
tors, anchors and hardware
damaged by a collision should
be replaced before the vehicle
is operated again.

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 pas-
senger side air bag could impact
the rear-facing child restraint and
kill the child.
Since all passenger’s (except dri-
ver’s) safety belts move freely under
normal conditions and only lock
under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency lock mode), you
must manually change these safety
belts to the auto lock mode to secure
a child restraint.✽ ✽ NOTICEThe 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 sys-
tem in the rear seat of your
vehicle.
If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of
a child being seriously injured
or killed in a collision greatly
increases.
WARNING
Before installing the childrestraint system, read the
instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manu-
facturer.
If the seat belt does not oper- ate as described, have the
system checked immediately
by your authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to observe this manual instructions regarding child
restraint system and the
instructions provided with the
child restraint system could
increase the chance and/or
severity of injury in an acci-
dent.

Placing a passenger safety
belt into the auto lock modeThe 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 procedure.
Installing a child restraint system by
lap/shoulder belt
To install a child restraint system on
the outboard or center rear seats, do
the following:
1. Place the child restraint system inthe seat and route the lap/shoul-
der belt around or through the
restraint, following 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 dis-
tinct “click” sound.
Position the release button so that itis easy to access in case of anemergency.

3. Pull the shoulder portion of thesafety belt 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 lis-
ten 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 safe-
ty 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.
✽ ✽ NOTICEWhen 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 nor-
mal adult usage.
Securing a child restraint seat
with “Tether Anchor” systemChild restraint hook holders are
located on the shelf or floor behind
the rear seats.
1. Open the tether anchor cover on the shelf or floor behind the rear
seats.
WARNING
- Auto lock
mode
The lap/shoulder belt automati-
cally returns to the “emergency
lock mode” whenever the belt is
allowed to retract fully.
Therefore, the preceding seven
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 vehicle in a collision,
since the child restraint will not
be effectively held in place.
