3To unfasten the rear center belt 1. Press the release button on the buckle
(D) and remove the tongue plate (C)
from the buckle (D). 2. To retract the rear center seatbelt,
insert the key or similar small rigid
device into the web release button (B)
on the anchor connector. Pull up on
the seat belt web (A) and allow the
webbing to retract automatically. (if
equipped)
Proper use and care of the safety
belt system To ensure that the safety belts provide
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 damage. Replace
damaged, excessively worn or ques-
tionable parts immediately.
 To clean the belt webbing, use a mild
soap solution recommended for clean-
ing upholstery or carpets. Follow the
instructions provided with the soap.
 Do not make modifications or additions
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.

Knowing your vehicle
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.
Securing a child restraint seat with“Tether Anchor” system (if equipped) Child restraint hook holders are located
on the shelf behind the rear seats.
1. Open the tether anchor cover on the shelf behind the rear seats. 2. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable headrest,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over
the top of the seatback.
3. Connect the tether strap hook to the corresponding hook holder and tighten
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.
2GHA3300
WARNING
- Tether strap
If the tether strap is secured incor-
rectly, the child restraint seat may not
be restrained properly in the event of
a collision. Do not mount more than
one child restraint seat to a tether
anchorage, since the anchorage can
then fail in a collision.

Air bag system components The main components of your SRS are:
 To indicate that your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, the correspon-
ding air bag covers are marked with
“SRS AIR BAG”.
- Driver’ s air bag
- Front passenger’ s air bag
- Side air bag (if equipped)
- Curtain air bag (if equipped)
 A diagnostic system that continually
monitors the system operation.
 Air bag warning light to warn you of a
possible problem with the system.
 Emergency power backup in case your
car’ s electrical system is disconnected
in a crash. The SRS uses a collection of sensors to
gather information about the driver
’s and
front passenger’ s seat position, the dri-
ver ’s and front passenger’ s safety belt
usage and impact severity.
The driver's and front passenger's seat
position sensors, which are installed on
the seat track let the air bag control mod-
ule know where the seats are positioned.
Similarly, the safety belt usage sensors
measure if the driver and front passen-
ger’ 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 severi-
ty of the impact.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for mod-
erate-severity impacts. A second stage
level is provided for more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position and safety belt usage, the SRS
Control Module controls the air bag infla-
tion.
Failure to properly wear safety belts
can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
(Continued)
 Driver’s and front passenger’s air bag are designed to inflate only in
certain frontal collisions, and side
and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate in certain side impacts.
Frontal air bags are not designed
to provide protection in side
impacts, rear impacts, rollovers,
or less severe frontal collisions.
They will not provide protection
from later impacts in a multi-
impact collision.
 If your vehicle has been subject- ed to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing water
on the floor of the vehicle, 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. Have the
vehicle towed to an authorized
Kia dealer for inspection and nec-
essary repairs.
Disregarding this precaution may
cause an unexpected air bag
deployment, which could result in
serious personal injury or death.

Knowing your vehicle
If there is no passenger in the front pas-
senger seat or if the passenger in the
front passenger's seat is very small (such
as a child), the front PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator may go ON.
When this indicator is ON, the front pas-
senger's air bag will not deploy.
The side air bag will not deploy if the front
seat is unoccupied.
The side air bag may deploy if the front
seat is occupied by a small occupant.
Main components of occupant
classification systemA detection device located within the
front passenger seat cushion.
 Electronic system to determine
whether passenger air bag systems
(both front and side) should be activat-
ed or deactivated.
 A warning light located on the instru-
ment panel which illuminates the
words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicating the front passenger air bag
system is deactivated.
 The instrument panel air bag warning
light is interconnected with the occu-
pant classification system. Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained
properly (sitting upright with the seat in
an upright position, centered on the seat
cushion, with the person’
s legs comfort-
ably extended, feet on the floor, and
wearing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the safety belt.
 The OCS may not function properly if
the passenger takes actions which can
defeat the detection system. These
include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.
(2) Leaning against the door or center console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or rest- ing them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back.
