Removal (except active headrest)
To remove the headrest, raise it as far as
it can go then press the release button
(1) while pulling the headrest up (2).
To reinstall the headrest, put the head-
rest poles (3) into the holes while press-
ing the release button (1). Then adjust it
to the appropriate height.Active headrest (if equipped)
The active headrest is designed to move
forward and upward during a rear impact.
This helps prevent the driver's and front
passenger’s heads from moving back-
ward and thus helps minimize neck
injuries.
For your safety, the active headrest can’t
be removed. If there is any problem with
the active headrest, take your vehicle to
an authorized KIA dealer and have the
system checked.

the rear seat belt guides will help keep
the belts from being trapped behind or
under the seats.
After inserting the seat belt, tighten the
belt webbing by pulling it up.
C020200BHM-EUPre-tensioner seat beltYour vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's pre-tensioner seat
belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is
to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant's body in certain
frontal collisions (or side collisions or
rollovers). The pre-tensioner seat belts
can be activated, where the frontal colli-
sion (or side collisions or rollovers) is
severe enough, together with the air
bags.
