The child safety lock is provided to help prevent chil-
dren from accidentally opening the rear doors from

 To lock a rear door so that it cannot be opened from
the inside, push the child safety lock located on the
rear edge of the door to the “LOCK” position
(toward front of vehicle) before closing the door.
 To open a rear door while the child safety lock is
engaged, lift the outside door handle.

If children accidentally open the rear doors
while the vehicle is in motion, they could fall
out and be seriously or fatally injured. To pre-
vent children from opening the rear doors
from the inside, the rear door safety locks
should be used whenever children are in the
vehicle.

driver’s door in the ON (depressed) position
except when someone is operating a passen-
ger door window. Serious injury can result
from unintentional window operation, espe-
cially to children.

switch up.
Seats
WARNING - Passengers
Do not allow children to play with the power
windows. They may seriously injure them-
selves or others.
WARNING - Drivers
 Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback
when the vehicle is moving. Doing so could
cause loss of control, and serious personal
injury or death.
 Do not allow packages or other objects to
interfere with the normal position of a seat
back. These objects may prevent the seat
back from locking, which could result in
serious injury or death in the event of a sud-
den stop or collision.
 Always drive and ride with your seatback
upright and the lap portion of the safety belt
snug and low across the hips.
 If a child is riding in the front passenger seat,
they should always ride with the seatback in
the fully upright position.

To help you remember to fasten your safety belt, a
warning light may come on and a chime may sound.
See Safety Belt Warning on page 4-28.
All seats, except the center rear seat, have lap/shoulder
belts. The center rear seat has a lap belt.
Inertial locks in the safety belt retractors allow all of
the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain unlocked during
normal vehicle operation. This allows the occupants
some freedom of movement and increased comfort
while using the safety belts. If a force is applied to the
vehicle, such as a strong stop, a sharp turn, or a colli-
sion, the safety belt retractors will automatically lock
the safety belts.
Since the inertial locks do not require a collision in
order to lock up, you may become aware of the safety
belts locking while braking or going around sharp cor-
ners.
The center rear seat safety belt does not have an iner-
tial lock so it is always in a locked condition.
Whenever possible, use the center rear seat position to
install your child restraint. The center rear seat is the
best position to install your child restraint. However, if
the center seat is unavailable, a child restraint may be
installed in the rear outboard seats using the special
auto lock mode feature provided with those safety belt.
Safety Belt Restraint SystemWe strongly recommend that the driver and all passen-
gers be properly restrained at all times by using the
safety belts provided with the vehicle. Proper use of
the safety belts decreases the risk of severe injury or
death in accidents or sudden stops. In most states and
in Canada, the law requires their use.
Safety belts provide the best restraint when:
 the seatback is upright
 the occupant is sitting upright (not slouched)
 the lap belt portion of the safety belt is snug and low
on the hips
 the shoulder belt portion of the safety belt is snug
against the chest
 the knees are straight forward
WARNING
The driver and all passengers should always
use the safety belts provided in order to mini-
mize the risk of severe bodily injury.

WARNING -Safety Belt Usage
Each seating position in your vehicle has a spe-
cific safety belt assembly which includes a
buckle and tongue that are designed to be used
together. 1) Use the shoulder belt on the out-
side shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder
belt under the arm. 2) Never swing the safety
belt around your neck to fit over the inside
shoulder. 3) Never use a single belt for more
than one person.
WARNING - After a Collision
 Lap/shoulder belt assemblies may be
stretched or damaged when subjected to the
stress and forces of a collision.
 The entire restraint system should be
inspected following any collision. All belts,
retractors, anchors and hardware damaged
by a collision should be replaced before the
vehicle is operated again.
The rear outboard safety belts have been designed to
allow a child restraint to be used in these positions
without an added locking clip. These safety belts nor-
mally lock only under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (this is the emergency lock mode which uses the
locking retractor). However, they can be adjusted so
that they remain fixed and locked when a child
restraint is placed in those positions (this auto lock
mode should only be used to secure a child restraint).
The driver’s safety belt can only operate in the emer-
gency lock mode.
WARNING -Twisted Safety Belts
Never drive or ride with a twisted or jammed
safety belt. If you cannot untwist or unjam the
safety belt, see your Kia dealer immediately.
