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.
WARNING
Use only Kia original parts for
the ignition key in your vehicle.
If an aftermarket key is used, the
ignition switch may not return
to ON after START. If this hap-
pens, the starter will continue to
operate causing damage to the
starter motor and possible fire
due to excessive current in the
wiring.

Always make sure that the
shoulder belt portion of the
lap/shoulder belt is positioned
midway over the shoulder,
never across the neck or
behind the back. The lap belt
portion of the lap/shoulder
belt must always be posi-
tioned as low as possible on
the child's hips and as snug
as possible.
If the seat belt will not proper- ly fit the child the use of an
approved booster seat in the
rear seat must be used in
order to raise the child's seat-
ing height so that the seat belt
will properly fit the child.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Never allow a child to stand upor kneel on the seat.
Never use an infant carrier or child seat that "hooks" over a
seatback. It will not provide
adequate protection in an
accident.
Never allow a child to be held while they are in a moving
vehicle, as this could result in
serious injury or death to the
child in the event of an acci-
dent 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
holding the child is wearing a
seat belt.
(Continued)
Since a safety belt or childrestraint system can become
very hot if it is left in a closed
vehicle, be sure to check the
seat cover and buckles before
placing a child there.
When the child restraint sys- tem is not in use, store it in the
trunk or fasten it with a safety
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. Never
allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat.

Emergency trunk safety
release (if equipped)Your vehicle is equipped with an
emergency trunk release cable locat-
ed inside the trunk. The lever glows
in the dark when the trunk lid is
closed. If someone is inadvertently
locked in the trunk, pulling this han-
dle will release the trunk latch mech-
anism and open the trunk.
WARNING
- Exhaust
fumes
If you drive with the trunk lid
open, you will draw dangerous
exhaust fumes into your vehicle
causing serious injury or death
to vehicle occupants. Open
trunk lids can also dangerously
obscure rear view vision.
If you must drive with the trunk
lid open, keep the air vents open
so that additional outside air
comes into the vehicle.
OLD026017
WARNING
No one should be allowed to
occupy the trunk of the vehicle
at any time. If the trunk is par-
tially or totally latched and the
person is unable to get out,
severe injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventilation,
exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of expo-
sure to cold weather conditions.
The trunk is also a highly dan-
gerous location in the event of a
crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but
merely a part of the vehicle’s
crush zone.
