SEAT BELTS
Seat belt restraint system
For maximum restraint system pro-
tection, the seat belts must always
be used whenever the vehicle is
moving. A properly positioned
shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. See child
restraint system section for further
discussion. Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section of
the belt across the abdominal area
must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con-
tamination of the webbing with pol-
ishes, oils and chemicals, and partic-
ularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild soap
and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
would either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
WARNING- Damaged
seat belt
Replace the entire seat belt
assembly if any part of the web-
bing or hardware is damaged as
you can no longer be sure that a
damaged seat belt will provide
protection in a crash.WARNING- Twisted seat belt
Make sure your seat belt is not
twisted when worn. A twisted
seat belt may not properly pro-
tect you in an accident and
could even cut into your body.
WARNING- Shoulder Belt
Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind
your back. An improperly
positioned shoulder belt can-
not protect the occupant in a
crash.
Always wear both the shoul- der portion and lap portion of
the lap/shoulder belt.

The SRS can function only when
the Engine Start/Stop button is in
the ON position. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate,
or continuously remains on after
illuminating for about 6 seconds
when the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position, or after the
engine is started, comes on while
driving, the SRS is not working
properly. If this occurs, have your
vehicle immediately inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the
Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF
position.
Never remove or replace the air bag
related fuse (s) when the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning will
cause the SRS air bag warning light
to illuminate.
Occupant Detection System
(ODS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an
occupant detection system in the
front passenger's seat.
The occupant detection system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air
bag should be enabled (may inflate)
or not. Only the front passenger front
air bag is controlled by the Occupant
Detection System.
Do not put anything in front of the
passenger air bag indicator.
Main components of the occu-
pant detection system
An detection device located within the front passenger seat cushion.
An electronic system which deter- mines whether the passenger air
bag systems should be activated
or deactivated.
An indicator light located on the instrument panel which illuminates
the words PASSENGER AIR BAG
“OFF” indicates the front passen-
ger air bag system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag warn- ing light is interconnected with the
occupant detection system.

If the smart key does not work cor-
rectly, you may lock and unlock the
door with the mechanical key. If
you have a problem with the smart
key, contact an authorized Kia
dealer.
If the smart key is in close proximi- ty to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the smart
key could be blocked by normal
operation of your cell phone or
smart phone.
This is especially important when
the phone is active such as making
calls, receiving calls, text messag-
ing, and/or sending/receiving
emails. Avoid placing the smart key
and your cell phone or smart
phone in the same pants or jacket
pocket and maintain adequate dis-
tance between the two devices.
Do not leave the smart key near metallic objects such as golf bags,
metal cases and so on.
Door Lock/Unlock failure or poor starting can occur when the smart
key is placed near metallic objects. Always carry your smart key when
you leave the car. An unattended
smart key close to the vehicle can
cause the vehicle battery to be dis-
charged.
Internal circuit damage may occur when the key comes into contact
with moisture (beverage, water
etc.) or heat. In this case, warranty
repair is not available. Damage to
the smart key due to exposure to
liquids or heat is not covered by the
manufacturer's vehicle warranty.
When the smart key is left with a bunch of keys, the Lock/Unlock
button for doors and liftgate can be
accidently pressed. Pay careful
attention to key use.Remote keyless entry system

All doors are locked if the lock button
is pressed. If all doors (and liftgate)
are closed, the hazard warning lights
will blink once to indicate that all
doors (and liftgate) are locked.
However, if any door remains open,
the hazard warning lights will not
operate. But if all doors are closed
after the lock button is pressed, the
hazard warning lights will blink once.

The smart key is close to a radio transmitter such as a radio station
or an airport which can interfere
with normal operation of the trans-
mitter.
If the smart key does not work cor-
rectly, you may lock and unlock the
door with the mechanical key. If you
have a problem with the smart key,
contact an authorized Kia dealer. If the transmitter is in close proxim-
ity to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the trans-
mitter could be blocked by normal
operation of your cell phone or
smart phone. This is especially
important when the phone is active
such as making calls, receiving
calls, text messaging, and/or send-
ing/receiving emails.
Avoid placing the transmitter and
your cell phone or smart phone in
the same pants or jacket pocket
and maintain adequate distance
between the two devices.

Press the power liftgate close but-
ton for approximately one second
when the liftgate is opened.
The liftgate will close and lock
automatically.
Power liftgate Non-Opening or
Closing Conditions :
The power liftgate will not open or close automatically, when the vehi-
cle is moving more than 3 km/h (2
mph).
The power liftgate can be operated when the engine is not running.
However, the power liftgate opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from draining, do not
operate it excessively (e.g., more
than approximately 10 times
repeatedly).
Do not modify or repair any part of the power liftgate by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Before jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the power liftgate. Do not
operate the power liftgate when the
vehicle is raised or this could
cause the power liftgate to operate
improperly. If there are obstacles such as
snow on the power liftgate, it may
not open automatically. After
removing the obstacle, try to open
it again.
