3Safety belt restraint system
We strongly recommend that the driver
and all passengers be properly
restrained at all times by using the safety
belts provided with the vehicle. 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 retractors allow all
of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain
unlocked during normal vehicle opera-
tion. 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 collision,
the safety belt retractors will automatical-
ly 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 cor-
ners.
Always use the rear seat position(s) to
install your child restraint(s). The rear safety belts use a special auto-
lock feature designed to allow a child
restraint to be used in these positions
without an added locking clip. They nor-
mally lock only under extreme or emer-
gency conditions (emergency lock
mode). However they can be adjusted so
that they remain fixed and locked when a
child restraint system is placed in these
positions. (Use this auto-lock mode only
to secure a child restraint, never for pas-
sengers restrained by the safety belts.)
Page 3-42 gives instructions on placing
the safety belt in the auto lock mode.
The drivers safety belt can only operate
in the emergency lock mode.
WARNING
- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious or
fatal injury in an accident, the driv-
er and all passengers should use
the appropriate safety restraints for
their age and size. The presence of
air bags does not change the need
to be properly restrained by a safe-
ty belt or size-appropriate child
restraint. In fact, air bags are
designed to work the best when
passengers are correctly restrained
in the vehicle.
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 sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.

341
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 inflat-
ing passenger side air bag could
impact the rear-facing child restraint
and kill the child.
Since all passenger safety belts move
freely under normal conditions and only
lock under extreme or emergency condi-
tions (emergency lock mode), you must
manually change these safety belts to
the auto lock mode to secure a child
restraint.
(Continued)
If the vehicle’s safety belt will notproperly fit the child, you must
use an appropriate child restraint
or booster seat in the rear.
Never allow a child to stand up or kneel while the vehicle is moving.
Never use an infant carrier or child seat that "hooks" over a
seatback. It will not provide ade-
quate protection in an accident.
Never allow a child to be held while they are in a moving vehi-
cle, as this could result in serious
injury or death to the child in the
event of an accident or sudden
stop. Holding a child in a moving
vehicle does not provide the child
with any protection during an
accident, even if the person hold-
ing the child is wearing a seat
belt.
WARNING
- Child seat
installation
Before installing the child
restraint system, read the instruc-
tions supplied by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
If the safety belt does not operate as described in this section, have
the system checked immediately
by your authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to observe this manual's instructions regarding child
restraint system and the instruc-
tions provided with the child
restraint system could increase
the chance and/or severity of
injury or death in an accident.
