WARNING
- Side and cur-
tain air bags
 In order for side and curtain air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat
occupants and both outboard
rear occupants should sit in
an upright position with the
safety belts properly fastened.
Importantly, children should
sit in a proper child restraint
system in the rear seat.
 When children are seated in the 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 in a locked position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 If a small child is seated onthe rear outboard seat cush-
ion, it is probable that they will
below the deployment level of
the side curtain airbag and
thus not protected by that
airbag.
 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 seats equipped with
side air bags.
 Never try to open or repair any components of the side cur-
tain air bag system. This
should only be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
severe injury or death to the
vehicle occupants in an acci-
dent.

Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger seat is
extremely dangerous and
should never be done.Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat.
If the air bag deploys, it would impact
the rear-facing child restraint, caus-
ing severe or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passen-
ger’ s seat either. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it would cause
serious or fatal injuries to the improp-
erly positioned or improperly
restrained child.
WARNING
 Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
 Never put child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the
front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
 When children are seated in the rear outboard seats in
which curtain air bags 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 air bag (if
equipped) could cause severe
injury or death due to the
expansion impact.
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag 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 air bag
storage areas internal compo-
nents immediately after an air
bag has inflated.

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.
WARNING
 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.
