 If the curtain airbag deploys, it
remains inflated for approximately
3 seconds. The curtain airbag
deployment occurs only on the
side of the vehicle affected by the
impact.
 The side airbags (side and curtain airbags) are not designed to
deploy during collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in
most rollover situations.
 The curtain airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side
impact situations.
WARNING
 In order for side airbags (sideand curtain airbags) to pro-
vide their best protection,
occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat
belts properly fastened.
 Children must be seated in the proper child restraint system.
Make sure to secure the child
restraint system in a locked
position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Advise occupants not to leantheir heads or bodies onto
doors, and not to place
objects between the doors
and them since this may
defeat operation of the side
airbags.
 Never try to open or repair any components of the side cur-
tain airbag system. This
should only be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle
occupants in an accident.

Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger’s seat is for-
bidden.Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the airbag deploys, it would
impact the rear-facing child restraint,
causing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passen-
ger’s seat either. If the front passen-
ger airbag inflates, it would cause
serious or fatal injuries to the child.
Airbag warning lightThe purpose of the airbag warning
light in your instrument panel is to
alert you of a potential problem with
your airbag - Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS).
WARNING
- Child
restraints
 Never put a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If
the front passenger airbag
inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
 When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, be
sure to secure the child
restraint system into a locked
in position.

WARNING
- Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous even if the key is not
in the ignition. Children copy
adults and they could place the
key in the ignition. The ignition
key would enable children to
operate power windows or other
controls, or even make the vehi-
cle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even
death. Never leave the keys in
your vehicle with unsupervised
children.

Impact sensing door unlock
system (if equipped)All doors will be automatically
unlocked when the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) detects a
collision while the ignition switch is
ON.
However, the doors may not be
unlocked, if electrical power in the
vehicle should fail.

vehicles
Leaving your vehicle unlocked
can invite theft or possible harm
to you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle while you
are gone. Always remove the
ignition key, engage the parking
brake, close all windows and
lock all doors when leaving your
vehicle unattended.
WARNING
- Unattended children
An enclosed vehicle can
become extremely hot, causing
death or severe injury to unat-
tended children or animals who
cannot escape the vehicle.
Furthermore, children might
operate features of the vehicle
that could injure them, or they
could encounter other harm,
possibly from someone gaining
entry to the vehicle. Never leave
children or animals unattended
in your vehicle.

safety locks should be used whenev-
er children are in the vehicle.1. Open the rear door.
2. Push the child safety lock located
on the rear edge of the door to the

The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls that door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition key is removed or turned
to the ACC or LOCK position.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the power windows cannot
be operated even within the 30 sec-
onds after the ignition key removal.
While driving, if you notice buffeting
and pulsation (wind shock) with
either side window open, you should
open the opposite window slightly to
reduce the condition.
✽ ✽NOTICE To prevent the power window sys-
tem from the possibility of dam-
age, do not open or close two win-
dows at the same time. This will
also ensure the longevity of the
fuse.
 Never try to operate the main switch on the driver's door and the
individual door window switch in
opposing directions at the same
time. If this is done, the window
will stop and cannot be opened or
closed.
CAUTION -
Windows
 Always double check to make sure all arms, hands, head and
other obstructions are safely
out of the way before closing a
window.
 Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keep
the driver’s door power win-
dow lock switch in the LOCK
position (depressed). Serious
injury can result from uninten-
tional window operation by
the child.
 Do not extend face or arms outside through the window
opening while driving.

Safety belt restraint system
We strongly recommend that the
driver and all passengers be proper-
ly restrained at all times by using the
safety belts provided with the vehi-
cle. 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.
All seats have lap/shoulder belts.
Inertial locks in the safety belt retrac-
tors allow all of the lap/shoulder safe-
ty 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 corners.
Always use the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
WARNING
- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious
or fatal injury in an accident, the
driver and all passengers
should use the appropriate
safety restraints for their age
and size. The presence of
airbags does not change the
need to be properly restrained
by a safety belt or size-appropri-
ate child restraint. In fact,
airbags are designed to work
the best when passengers are
correctly restrained in the vehi-
cle.
 Be sure you are familiar with the information in this section,
including the information on
infant and child restraints.
 Read the safety warnings on the sun visors of your vehicle
also.
WARNING
- Child
restraint in front seat
Never install a child restraint
system in the front passenger
position, as an inflating airbag
could cause serious or fatal
injury to a child in that position.
