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 onshort 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.
Restraint women
Pregnant women should wear lap/shoul-
der belt assemblies whenever possible
according to specific recommendations
by their doctors. The lap portion of the
belt should be worn AS SNUGLY AND
LOW AS POSSIBLE.
Infants and small children
To increase their safety, infants and
young children should always be
restrained by a restraint system
approved for their age and size.
Never allow a child to stand or kneel on
the seat of a moving vehicle. Never allow
a safety belt to be placed around both a
child and an adult or around two children
at the same time.
It is best for children to be seated in the
rear seats.
Many companies manufacture child
restraint systems (often called child
seats) for infants and small children. An
acceptable child restraint system must
always satisfy Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. Make sure that any
child-restraint system you use in your
vehicle is labelled as complying with
Federal Safety Standards.
The child-restraint system should be
chosen to fit both the size of the child and
the size of the vehicle seat. Be sure to fol-
low any instructions provided by the
child-restraint system manufacturer
when installing the child-restraint system.
WARNING - Pregnantwomen
Pregnant women must never place
the lap portion of the safety belt
over the area of the abdomen where
the fetus is located or above the
abdomen where the belt could
crush the fetus during an impact.
WARNING -Belt cleaning
Do not bleach or dye the webbing
because this may weaken the web-
bing fibers and cause them to fail
when restraining an occupant in a
collision.

4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion ofthe safety belt to retract and listen for
an audible “clicking” or “ratcheting”
sound. This indicates that the retractor
is in the “Auto Lock” mode. If no distinct
sound is heard, repeat steps 3 and 4. 5. Remove as much slack from the belt
as possible by pushing down on the
child restraint system while feeding the
shoulder belt back into the retractor.
6. Push and pull on the child restraint system to confirm that the safety belt is
holding it firmly in place. If it is not,
release the safety belt and repeat
steps 2 through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in the “Auto Lock” mode by attempting to
pull more of the safety belt out of the
retractor. If you cannot, the retractor is
in the “Auto Lock” mode.
To remove the child restraint, press the
release button on the buckle and then
pull the lap/shoulder belt out of the
restraint and allow the safety belt to
retract fully. 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.
MMSA3029MMSA3030
WARNING- Auto lock
mode
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.

Occupant classification system
The occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger in
the front passenger's seat and will turn off
the front passenger's air bag under cer-
tain conditions.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger's air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
Only the front passenger front air bag and
front passenger side air bag are con-
trolled by the Occupant Classification
System.
WARNING- Air bags &
safety belts
Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers must
always wear the safety belts pro-
vided in order to minimize the risk
and severity of injury in the event
of a collision or rollover.
Always wear your safety belt. It can help keep you away from the
air bags during heavy braking
just before a collision.
If occupants are not wearing safe- ty belts or correctly seated, they
cannot be protected, and thus
face serious injury or death.
Driver’s and front passenger’s air bag are designed to inflate only in
certain frontal collision, and side
and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate in certain side impacts.
Frontal air bags will generally not
provide protection in side impacts
(vehicles not equipped with side
and curtain air bags) or rear
impacts, rollovers, less severe
frontal collisions. They will not pro-
vide 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 before dis-
connecting the battery.
Disregarding this precaution may
cause air bag deployment, which
could result in serious personal
injury or death. If your vehicle is
subjected to flooded conditions,
before starting the vehicle, have
the vehicle towed to an autho-
rized Kia dealer for inspection
and necessary repairs.

Main components of occupant classi-fication system
Detection devices located under the front passenger seat frame.
Electronic system to determine whether passenger air bag systems
(both front and side) should be activat-
ed or deactivated.
A indicator light ocated on the instru- ment panel which illuminates the words
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” passen-
ger air bag system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag indicator light is interconnected with the occu-
pant classification system. If there is no passenger in the front pas-
senger seat or if the passenger in the
front passenger seat is very light, (such
as a child), the front PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF
indicator may illuminate.
When this indicator is ON, the front pas-
senger’s air bag will not operate.
If there is no passenger in the front pas-
senger's seat, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator comes on, and the
system shuts off not only the front pas-
senger's front air bag but also the front
passenger’s side air bag. 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.

Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust mirror angles before
driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-
hand and right-hand outside rearview
mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted
remotely with the remote switch. The mir-
ror heads can be folded back to prevent
damage during an automatic car wash or
when passing in a narrow street.
Folding the outside rearview mirror
To fold outside rearview mirror, grasp the
housing of mirror and then fold it toward
the rear of the vehicle.
MIRRORS
WARNING - Rearview mir-
rors
The right outside rearview mirror is convex. Objects seen in the
mirror are closer than they
appear.
Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to deter-
mine the actual distance of fol-
lowing vehicles when changing
lanes.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirrorface; this may damage the surface of the glass. If ice should restrictmovement of the mirror, do notforce the mirror for adjustment. Toremove ice, use a deicer spray, or asponge or soft cloth with very warmwater.

Rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror to center on
the view through the rear window. Make
this adjustment before you start driving.
Manual type (if equipped)
Make this adjustment before you start
driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of vehi-
cles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearview
clarity in the night position. Electric type (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.
WARNING - Rear visibility
Do not place objects in the rear seat
or cargo area which would interfere
with your vision out the rear win-
dow.
CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar materialdampened with glass cleaner. Donot spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liq-uid cleaner to enter the mirror hous- ing.
