added to the fuel tank at every
15,000km (for Europe) / 5,000km
(except Europe) or every engine oil
change is recommended. Additves
are available from your authorized Kia
dealer along with information on howto use them.

WARNING
Do not adjust the seat while wearing seat belts. Moving the
seat cushion forward may
cause strong pressure on theabdomen.
Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
Do not put a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas maygush out of the lighter and
cause fire.
If there are occupants in the rear seats, be careful while
adjusting the front seat posi-tion.(Continued)
In order to avoid unnecessaryand perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steeringwheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.
We recommend that your chest
be at least 250 mm (10 inches)
away from the steering wheel.WARNING - Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could result in loss
of control, and an accident
causing death, serious injury,
or property damage.
Do not allow anything to inter- fere with the normal position
of the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with
proper locking of a seatbackcould result in serious or fatal
injury in a sudden stop or col-lision.
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap
portion of the seat belt snug
and low across the hips. This
is the best position to protect
you in case of an accident.

ward and upward when impact sensor
detects a rear impact. This helps to
prevent the driver's and front passen-
ger’s heads from moving backward
and thus helps minimize neck injuries.
WARNING
If you don't install the headrest
securely, the active headrest
may not operate normally. When
reinstalling the headrest, install
it securely as procedures.
OBH038069

You can activate or deactivate the rear seat control, rear audio control
and climate control by using the
REAR LOCK button on the rear arm-
rest or “System Settings” in the AVN

for t.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for passengers, but also helps
protect the head and neck in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head- rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is atthe same height of the center
of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's headis similar with the height of
the top of their eyes. Also
adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. Theuse of a cushion that holds
the body away from the seat-
back is not recommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed
as severe injury to an occu-
pant may occur in the event of
an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against
severe neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
