Knowing your vehicle
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 cor-
ners.The rear safety belts use a special auto-
lock feature designed to allow a child
restraint to be used without an added
locking clip. These safety belt positions
normally lock only under extreme or
emergency conditions (emergency lock
mode). However, they can be adjusted so
that they remain in fixed and locked when
a child restraint system is in place. (Use
this auto-lock mode only to secure a child
restraint, never for passengers restrained
by the safety belts.) Page 3-46 gives
instructions on placing the safety belt in
the auto lock mode.
The driver’
s safety belt can only operate
in the emergency lock mode. Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:

The seatback is upright.
 The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
 The lap belt is snug across the hips.
 The shoulder belt is snug across the
chest.
 The knees are straight forward.
To help you remember to fasten your
safety belt, a warning light will come on
and a chime will sound. See Safety Belt
Warning Light and Chime on page 3-35.
WARNING
Always use the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
Never install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.
WARNING
- After a colli- sion
 Lap/shoulder belt assemblies
may be stretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress and
forces of a collision.
 The entire restraint system should be inspected following
any collision. All belts, retractors,
anchors and hardware damaged
by a collision should be replaced
before the vehicle is operated
again.

Knowing your vehicle
Installing a child restraint system For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.Never place a rear-facing
child restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that an
inflating passenger side air bag could
impact the rear-facing child restraint
and kill the child.
Since all passenger’ s (except driver’s)
safety belts move freely under normal
conditions and only lock under extreme
or emergency conditions (emergency
lock mode), you must manually change
these safety belts to the auto lock mode
to secure a child restraint.✽ ✽ NOTICEThe driver’s safety belt incorporates the
emergency lock mode only.
WARNING
 Do not install any child restraint
system in the front passenger
seat. Should an accident occur
and cause the passenger air bag
to deploy, it could severely injure
or kill an infant or child seated in
an infant or child seat. Therefore,
only use a child restraint system
in the rear seat of your vehicle.
 If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision greatly
increases.
WARNING
 Before installing the childrestraint system, read the instruc-
tions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
 If the seat belt does not operate as described, have the system
checked immediately by your
authorized Kia dealer.
 Failure to observe this manual instructions regarding child
restraint system and the instruc-
tions provided with the child
restraint system could increase
the chance and/or severity of
injury in an accident.

3The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position (only driver) and safety belt
usage, the SRSCM (SRS Control
Module) controls the air bag inflation.
Failure to properly wear safety belts
can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
Additionally, your SRS is equipped with
an occupant classification system in the
front passenger’ s seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front passen-
ger’ s seat and will turn off the front pas-
senger’ s air bag under certain conditions.
For more detail, see “Occupant
Classification System” later in this sec-
tion.
CAUTION
If the seat position sensor is not working properly, the SRS air bag warning light ( ) on the instru-ment panel will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of the SRS air bag system, because the SRS airbag warning light is connected with the seat position sensor. If the SRSair bag warning light does not illu- minate when the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position, if it remains illuminated after blinkingfor approximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle isbeing driven, have an authorizedKia dealer inspect the seat positionsensor and the advanced SRS air bag system as soon as possible.
AIR
BAG
WARNING
 Modification to the seat structure
can adversely affect the seat
position sensor and cause the air
bag to deploy at a different level
than should be provided.
 Failure to properly wear safety belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury by causing the
air bags to deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
 Do not place any objects under- neath the driver’s seats which
could damage the seat position
sensor.
 Do not place any objects that may cause magnetic fields near the
front seat. These may cause a
malfunction of the seat position
sensor.
