7. Double check that the retractor isin 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.
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.

Curtain airbag (if equipped)Curtain airbags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occupants
in certain side impact collisions. 
If the curtain airbag deploys, it
remains inflated for approximately 3
seconds. The curtain airbag deploy-
ment occurs only on the side of the
vehicle affected by the impact.
 The side airbags (side and curtain
airbags) are not designed to deploy
during collisions from the front or
rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.
 The curtain airbags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations.
WARNING
 In order for side airbags (side
and curtain airbags) to pro-
vide its best protection, both
front seat occupants and both
outboard rear occupants
should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belts proper-
ly fastened. Especially, chil-
dren should sit in a proper
child restraint system.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 When children are seated inthe rear outboard seats, they
must be seated in the proper
child restraint system. Make
sure to put the child restraint
system as far away from the
door side as possible, and
secure the child restraint sys-
tem to be locked in position.
 Do not allow the passengers to lean their heads or bodies
onto doors, put their arms on
the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place
objects between the doors
and passengers when they are
seated on the seats where
side airbags are equipped.
 Never try to open or repair any components of the side cur-
tain airbag system. This
should be done only by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle
occupants in an accident.

Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger seat is forbid-
den.Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat.
If the airbag deploys, it would impact
the rear-facing child restraint, caus-
ing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passenger
seat either. If the front passenger
airbag inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries to the improperly
positioned or improperly restrained
child.
WARNING
 Never put child restraint in the
front passenger seat. If the
front passenger airbag
inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
 When children are seated in the rear outboard seats in
which curtain airbags are
equipped, be sure to put the
child restraint system as far
away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system to be locked
in position.
Inflation of curtain airbag
could cause serious injury or
death due to the expansion
impact.
WARNING
When the airbags deploy, the
airbag related parts in steering
wheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof
rails above the front and rear
doors are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch the airbag
storage areas internal compo-
nents immediately after an
airbag has inflated.

Trunk lid knob lock
(if equipped)The trunk lid lock knob (located near
the latch) is in the “LOCK ( )”posi-
tion when the trunk lid is closed, it
will not be possible to open the trunk
lid by using the remote release. In
this instance, use the master key to
unlock and open the trunk lid. To
allow the trunk lid to be opened with
the remote release, push the trunk
lid lock knob down, then to the oppo-
site direction of the “LOCK ( )”
position.
WARNING
No one should be allowed to
occupy the trunk of the vehicle
at any time. If the trunk is par-
tially or totally latched and the
person is unable to get out,
severe injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventilation,
exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of expo-
sure to cold weather conditions.
The trunk is also a highly dan-
gerous location in the event of a
crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but
merely a part of the vehicle’s
crush zone.
CAUTION
 If a person is locked in the trunk, they can pull the emer-
gency release to open the
trunk lid.
 We recommend that cars be kept locked and keys be kept
out of the reach of children,
and that parents teach their
children about the dangers of
playing in trunks.
