Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
 Children of all ages are saferwhen restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the
front passenger seat can be
forcefully struck by an inflat-
ing air bag resulting in seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
 Always follow the child restraint system manufactur-
er’s instructions for installa-
tion and use of the child
restraint.
 Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the
vehicle and your child is
securely restrained in the
child seat.
 Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces cre-
ated during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and
throw the child against the
vehicle’s interior.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Never put a seat belt over your-self and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into
the child causing serious inter-
nal injuries.
 Never leave children unattend- ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The vehicle can heat
up very quickly, resulting in
serious injuries to children
inside. Even very young chil-
dren may inadvertently cause
the vehicle to move, entangle
themselves in the windows, or
lock themselves or others
inside the vehicle.
 Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use the same
seat belt.
 Children often squirm and reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride with
the shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in the rear seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Never allow a child to stand-upor kneel on the seat or floor of
a moving vehicle. During a col-
lision or sudden stop, the child
can be violently thrown against
the vehicle’s interior, resulting
in serious injury.
 Never use an infant carrier or a child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an
accident.
 Seat belts can become very hot, especially when the vehi-
cle is parked in direct sunlight.
Always check the seat belt
buckles before fastening them
over a child.
 After an accident, have an authorized Kia dealer check
the child restraint system, seat
belt, tether anchor and lower
anchor.
 If there is not enough space to place the child restraint system
because of the driver's seat,
install the child restraint sys-
tem in the rear right seat.

Safety features of your vehicle
Noise and smokeWhen inflated, the air bags make a
loud noise and leave smoke and
powder in the air inside the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the air bag inflator. After
the air bag inflates, you may feel sub-
stantial discomfort in breathing due
to the contact of your chest with both
the seat belt and the air bag, as well
as from breathing the smoke and
powder.Open your doors and/or
windows as soon as possible after
impact in order to reduce discom-
fort and prevent prolonged expo-
sure to the smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the
skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc). If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
cold water immediately and consult a
doctor if the symptom persists.
WARNING
 To avoid severe personal injury or death caused by
deploying air bags in a colli-
sion, the driver should sit as
far back from the steering
wheel air bag as possible (at
least 250 mm (10 inches)
away). The front passengers
should always move their
seats as far back as possible
and sit back in their seat.
 Air bags inflate instantly in the event of a collision, and pas-
sengers may be injured by the
air bag expansion force if they
are not in a proper position.
 Air bag inflation may cause injuries including facial or
bodily abrasions, injuries
from broken glasses or burns.
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag related parts in the
steering wheel and/or instru-
ment panel and/or in both sides
of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors are very hot. To
prevent injury, do not touch the
air bag storage area’s internal
components immediately after
an air bag has inflated.

Side air bagYour vehicle is equipped with a side
air bag in each front seat. The pur-
pose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-
senger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt alone.  The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
 The side air bags do not only deploy on the side of the impact
but also on the opposite side.
 The side and/or curtain air bags on both sides of the vehicle will deploy
if a rollover or possible rollover is
detected.
 The side air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or
rollover situations.
WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and passen-
gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.

(Continued)
 The SRS air bag system mustdeploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an
occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat
belt, the air bag may forcefully
contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.

3They are designed to help protect
occupants in certain side impacts
and to help prevent them from eject-
ing out of the vehicle as a result of a
rollover, especially when the seat-
belts are also in use.
 The curtain air bags are designed
to deploy during certain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact.
 The curtain air bags do not only deploy on the side of the impact
but also on the opposite side.
 Also, the curtain air bags on both sides of the vehicle will deploy in
certain rollover situations.
 The curtain air bags are not designed to deploy in all side
impact or rollover situations.
WARNING
 In order for side and curtainair bags to provide the best
protection, front seat occu-
pants and outboard rear occu-
pants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belts
properly fastened.
Importantly, children should
sit in a proper child restraint
system in the rear seat.
 When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they
must be seated in the proper
child restraint system. Make
sure to position the child
restraint system as far away
from the door side as possi-
ble, and secure the child
restraint system in a locked
position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Do not allow the passengersto lean their heads or bodies
against the doors, put their
arms on the doors, stretch
their arms out of the window
or place objects between the
doors and passengers when
they are seated on seats
equipped with side impact
and/or curtain air bags.
 Never try to open or repair any components of the side and
curtain air bag system. This
should only be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle
occupants in an accident.
