Stowing the rear seat belt  The rear seat belt buckles can be
stowed in the pocket between the
rear seatback and cushion when
not in use.
Proper use and care of the
safety belt system To ensure that the safety belts pro-
vide the maximum protection, please
follow these instructions:
 Use the belts at all times - even on
short trips.
 If the safety belt is twisted,
straighten it prior to use.
 Keep sharp edges and damaging
objects away from the belts.
 Periodically inspect belt webbing,
anchors, buckles and all other
parts for signs of wear and dam-
age. Replace damaged, excessive-
ly worn or questionable parts
immediately. To clean the belt webbing, use a
mild soap solution recommended
for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Follow the instructions provided
with the soap.
 Do not make modifications or addi-
tions to the safety belt.
 After wearing a safety belt, make
sure it fully retracts to the stowed
position. Do not allow the belt to
get caught in the door when you
close it.
1KMA2054
WARNING
Do not bleach or dye the web-
bing because this may weaken
the webbing fibers and allow
them to fail when loaded in a
collision.

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
repeat steps 2 through 6.7. Double check that the retractor is
in 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.
✽ ✽
NOTICEWhen 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 nor-
mal adult usage.
MMSA3030
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.

Airbag system components The main components of your SRS
are:
 To indicate that your vehicle is
equipped with airbags, the corre-
sponding airbag covers are
marked with “SRS AIRBAG”.
- Driver’s airbag (see page 3- 61)
- Passenger’s airbag(see page 3- 62)
- Side airbag
(if equipped, see page 3- 69)
- Curtain airbag
(if equipped, see page 3- 69)
 A diagnostic system that continual-
ly monitors the system operation.
 Airbag warning light to warn you of
a possible problem with the sys-
tem.
 Emergency power backup in case
your car’s electrical system is dis-
connected in a crash.The SRS uses a collection of sen-
sors to gather information about the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat
position, the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s safety belt usage and
impact severity.
The driver’s and front passenger’s
seat position sensors, which are
installed on the seat track, determine
if the seats are fore or aft of a refer-
ence position. Similarly, the safety
belt usage sensors determine if the
driver and front passenger’s safety
belts are fastened. These sensors
provide the ability to control the SRS
deployment based on how close the
driver’s seat is to the steering wheel,
how close the passenger’s seat is to
the instrument panel, whether or not
the safety belts are fastened, and the
severity of the impact.
(Continued)
 If your vehicle has been sub-
jected to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehi-
cle, etc.) or if your vehicle has
become flood damaged in any
way, do not attempt to start
the vehicle or put the key in
the ignition before discon-
necting the battery.
Disregarding this precaution
may cause airbag deployment,
which could result in serious
personal injury or death. If
your vehicle is subjected to
flooded conditions, before
starting the vehicle, have the
vehicle towed to an authorized
Kia dealer for inspection and
necessary repairs.

 For very small person, the
occupant classification sys-
tem may or may not turn off
the right front passenger's
frontal airbag, depending
upon the person's seating
posture and body build.
Everyone in your vehicle
should wear a safety belt
properly -- whether or not
there is an air bag for that per-
son.
 If the front seat passenger
changes their seating position
(for example, by not sitting
upright, by sitting on the edge
of the seat, or by otherwise
being out of position), the
"PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF"
indicator may be turned on,
and the passenger's airbag
may not deploy in a collision.
Always be sure to sit properly
in the front passenger’s seat
and wear the safety belt prop-
erly and do not do any of the
following.
