Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Special care should be taken of
objects placed in the rear seats,
since those may hit the front seat
occupants in a frontal collision.
CAUTION
- Rear safety
belts
When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, rememberto return the rear shoulder belts totheir proper position. Routing the safety belt webbing through therear safety belt guides will helpkeep the belts from being trappedbehind or under the seats.

transaxle is in P and the parking
brake is applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take

We strongly recommend the use of a
child seat or infant seat for small children
and babies, and it is required by law in
almost all states. This child seat or infant
seat should be of appropriate size for the
child and should be installed in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Children riding in the car should sit on
the rear seat and must always be proper-
ly restrained to minimize the risk of injury
in an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver. According to accident statis-
tics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in the
front seat.
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child restraint
system, make sure it fits your car and
seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all
the instructions provided by the child
seat manufacturer when installing the
child restraint system.CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WARNING
- Child
restraints
A child restraint system must beplaced in the rear seat. Never
install a child or infant seat on the
front passenger's 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 the
front seat.
Since a safety belt or child restraint system can become very
hot if it is in a closed vehicle, be
sure to check the seat cover and
buckles before placing a child
there.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When the child restraint systemis not in use, store it in the lug-
gage area or fasten it with a safe-
ty belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden
stop or an accident.
Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in
the rear seat and be restrained
with the available lap/shoulder
belts.
When using the vehicles lap/shoulder safety belts, always
make sure that the shoulder belt
portion is positioned midway
over the shoulder, never across
the neck or behind the back. The
lap belt portion of the lap/shoul-
der belt must always be posi-
tioned as low as possible on the
child's hips and as snug as pos-
sible.
If the vehicle’s safety belt will not properly fit the child, you must
use an appropriate child restraint
or booster seat in the rear.

✽
✽NOTICE• If luggage or other objects are placed
on the front passenger's seat or if the
temperature of the seat changes while
the seat is unoccupied, the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may
blink. These conditions do not indi-
cate a problem.
•Do not put heavy objects on the front
passenger's seat. This may cause front
passenger air bag deployment in the
event of an accident, thus increasing
your repair costs.
WARNING
The front seat passenger air bag
is much larger than the steering
wheel air bag and inflates with
considerably more force. It can
seriously hurt or kill a passenger
who is not in the proper position
and wearing the safety belt prop-
erly. The front passengers should
always move their seat as far
back as practical and sit back in
their seat.
It is essential that the front pas-
senger always wears their safety
belts, even when the vehicle is
moving in a parking lot or up a dri-
veway into garage.
(Continued)
(Continued) Any other such replacement or
modification could adversely
affect the operation of the occu-
pant classification system and
your advanced air bags. For the
same reason, do not attach any-
thing to the seat, dashboard or
door, even temporarily. If the sys-
tem is adversely affected, it could
cause severe personal injuries or
death in a collision.
Do not put a heavy load in the front
passenger seatback pocket or on
the front passenger seat. Do not
hang onto the front passenger
seat. Do not hang any items such
as seatback table on the front pas-
senger seatback. Do not place feet
on the front passenger seatback.
Do not place any items under the
front passenger seat. Any of these
could interfere with proper sensor
operation.
(Continued)
Kia does not endorse nor will it support any changes to any part
or structure of the vehicle that
could affect the advanced air bag
system, including the occupant
classification system.
Specifically, the front passenger
seat, dashboard or door should
not be replaced except by an
authorized Kia dealer using origi-
nal Kia parts designed for this
vehicle and model.

3Trip odometerTRIP A: Trip odometer A
TRIP B: Trip odometer B
The trip odometer indicates the distance
of individual trips selected by the driver.
Trip odometer A and B can be reset to 0
by pressing the reset button for 1 second
or more, and then releasing.
Tachometer The tachometer indicates the approxi-
mate number of engine revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/or
over-revving the engine.
The tachometer pointer may move slight-
ly when the ignition switch is in ACC or
ON position with the engine OFF. This
movement is normal and will not affect
the accuracy of the tachometer once the
engine is running.
Engine temperature gauge This gauge shows the temperature of the
engine coolant when the ignition switch
is ON.
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “Overheating” in the Index.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine within
the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine dam-age.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the “H” position, it indicates overheat-ing that may damage the engine.
