WARNING
Even though your vehicle isequipped with the occupant
detection system, never install a
child restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A deploying air
bag can forcefully strike a child
resulting in serious injuries or
death. Any child age 12 and
under should ride in the rear seat.
Children too large for child
restraints should use the avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. No matter
what type of crash, children of all
ages are safer when restrained in
the rear seat.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator is illuminated
when the front passenger's seat
is occupied by an adult and
he/she sits properly (sitting
upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with their seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor), have
that person sit in the rear seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Accident statistics show that chil-dren are safer if they are
restrained in the rear, as opposed
to the front seat. It is recommend-
ed that child restraints be secured
in a rear seat, including an infant
riding in a rear-facing infant seat,
a child riding in a forward-facing
child seat and an older child rid-
ing in a booster seat.
Air bags can only be used once – have an authorized Kia dealer
replace the air bag immediately
after deployment.
The occupant detection system may not work properly if water,
coffee or any other liquid includ-
ing rain gets on the seat. Keep
the front seat dry at all times.
Do not place an electronic device such as a laptop computer on the
front passenger seat. Its electron-
ic field may cause the ODS to
switch to the "on" condition and
thus allow the passenger airbag
to deploy needlessly in a colli-
sion, increasing your repair
costs.(Continued)
If the front passenger seat isoccupied by a child who is not in
a CRS, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator may or may
not be on and the passenger
airbag may or may not deploy in a
collision. Have the child move to
a rear seat to increase their safe-
ty.
Do not modify or replace the driv- er or front passenger seat. Don't
place anything on or attach any-
thing such as a blanket or seat
heater to the driver or front pas-
senger seat. This can adversely
affect the occupant detection
system.
Do not place sharp objects on the front passenger seat. These may
damage the occupant detection
system, if they puncture the seat
cushion.
Do not use accessory seat cov- ers on the front seats.
