desired position (1). To lower theheadrest, push and hold the release
button (2) on the headrest support

OKH032024
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in
the rear seats, adjust the heightof the headrest to the lowest position. The rear seat headrestcan reduce the visibility of therear area.
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.
WARNING
Do not place or attach the accessories or other things near
the headrest. When the vehicle
stops suddenly or in certain col-
lisions, they could come loose
and injure vehicle occupants.

dance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
For safety reasons, we recommend
that the child restraint system be

restraint in the front passenger
seat, because of the danger that
an inflating passenger-side air
bag could impact the rear-facing
child restraint and kill the child.
WARNING - Child seat installation
A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision
if the child restraint is not
properly anchored to the vehi-
cle and the child is not prop-
erly restrained in the child
restraint. Before installing the
child restraint system, read
the instructions supplied by
the child restraint system
manufacturer.
If the seat belt does not oper- ate as described in this sec-
tion, we recommend that the
system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.

Child restraint hook holders are
located on the package tray. 1. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable head-
rest, route the tether strap under
the headrest and between the
headrest posts, otherwise route
the tether strap over the top of the
seatback. In case of interference
between the child restraint seat
and the headrest remove the par-
ticular head restraint for better fit-
ment of the child restraint seat.

WARNING - Tether strap
Never mount more than one
child restraint to a single tether
or to a single lower anchorage
point. The increased load
caused by multiple seats may
cause the tethers or anchorage
points to break, causing serious
injury or death.
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the
child restraint is not properly
anchored to the car and the
child is not properly restrained
in the child restraint. Always fol-
low the child seat manufactur-
