2006 KIA Optima child lock

Placing a Passenger Safety Belt
Into the Auto Lock ModeThe 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 in the rear
outboard seats, follow the procedure
below.
1. Place the child restraint system in the
seat and route the lap/shoulder belt
around or through the restraint,
following the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. Be sure the safety belt
webbing is not twisted.

WARNING - Child
Restraint Placement
Never use a child restraint in
the front passenger seat. In a
collision the air bag inflates
with great force. A child in a
restraint in the front passenger
seat can be severely or fatally
injured by the power of the air
bag.

2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into
the buckle. Listen for the distinct
“click” sound.
Position the release button so that it is
easy to access in case of an emergency.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 belt to retract. Pull
up on the shoulder webbing. A
“clicking” or “ratcheting” sound will
be heard as the belt retracts. This
indicates the retractor is now in the
automatic locking mode. Push down
on the child restraint while you pull up
on the belt in order to remove any
slack in the belt.

5. Before placing the child in the child
restraint, forcibly try to push the seat
from side to side and forward to make
sure that the seat is securely held in
place.
6. Double check that the retractor is in
the automatic locking mode by trying
to pull the shoulder portion of the
safety belt out of the retractor. If you
cannot pull the belt out of the retractor,
it is in the automatic locking mode. If
you can, repeat step 4.
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.

✻
NOTICE
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.
WARNING - Auto Lock
Mode
The lap/shoulder belt
automatically 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.
