route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over
the top of the seatback.

to secure the seat.
WARNING
- Auto lockmode
The lap/shoulder belt automatically
returns to the “emergency lock
mode” whenever the belt is allowed
to retract fully. Therefore, the pre-
ceding seven steps must be fol-
lowed 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 vehi-
cle in a collision, since the child
restraint will not be effectively held
in place.

the indicator light should blink or illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds, then
go off.
Have the system checked if:
 The light does not turn on briefly when
you turn the ignition ON.
 The light stays on after the engine
starts.

under the following circumstances:
If an air bag ever inflates, the air bag
must be replaced. Do not try to remove
or discard the air bag by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia

 If the air bag warning indicator light
alerts you to a problem, have the air
bag system checked as soon as possi-
ble. Otherwise, your air bag system
may be ineffective.
