Placing a passenger safety
belt into the auto lock mode
The 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 an emer-gency.

3. Pull the shoulder portion of the
safety 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

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.
When 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
normal adult usage.
Securing a child restraint seatwith “Tether Anchor” system
Child restraint hook holders are
located on the floor behind the rear
seats.
1. Open the tether anchor cover on the 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.

The curtain airbag deploymentoccurs only on the side of the vehi-
cle 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 (sideand curtain airbags) to pro-
vide their best protection,
occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat
belts properly fastened.
Children must be seated in the proper child restraint system.
Make sure to secure the child
restraint system in a locked
position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Advise occupants not to leantheir heads or bodies onto
doors, and not to place
objects between the doors
and them since this may
defeat operation of the side
airbags.
Never try to open or repair any components of the side cur-
tain airbag system. This
should only be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in

Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger’s seat is for-
bidden.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the airbag deploys, it would
impact the rear-facing child restraint,
causing serious 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 airbag inflates, it would cause
serious or fatal injuries to the child.
Airbag warning light
The purpose of the airbag warning
light in your instrument panel is to
alert you of a potential problem with
your airbag - Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS).
WARNING- Childrestraints
Never put a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If
the front passenger airbag
inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, be
sure to secure the child
restraint system into a locked
in position.
