WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the front
passenger seat can be force-
fully struck by an inflating air
bag resulting in serious orfatal injuries.
Always follow the child restraint system manufactur-
er’s instructions for installa-
tion and use of the childrestraint.
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 overyourself and a child. During a
crash, the belt could press
deep into the child causingserious internal 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 thesame seat belt.
Children often squirm and reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride withthe 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-up or kneel on the seat or floor
of a moving vehicle. During a
collision 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 provide adequatesecurity in an accident.
Seat belts can become very hot, especially when the vehi-
cle is parked in direct sun-
light. Always check the seat
belt buckles before fastening
them over a child.
After an accident, we recom- mend the system to be
checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
If there is not enough space to place the child restraint sys- tem because of the driver's
seat, install the child restraintsystem in the rear right seat.

tion, we recommend the sys-
tem to be checked by an

and/or severity of injury in anaccident.

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 follow the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use.

or anchorage points to break,
causing serious injury or death.

Safety features of your vehicle
Securing a child restraint systemwith “ISOFIX” system and “Tether Anchorage” system (if equipped)
ISOFIX is a standardised method of fitting child seats that eliminates theneed to use the standard adult seat
belt to secure the seat in the vehicle.
This enables a much more secure
and positive location with the added
benefit of easier and quicker installa-tion. An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed
if it has vehicle-specific approval inaccordance with the requirements ofECE-R44. There is a child restraint symbol
located on the lower portion of each
side of the rear seatbacks. Thesesymbols indicate the position of the
lower anchors for child restraints soequipped.
WARNING -
Child restraint
check
Check that the child restraint sys-
tem is secure by pushing and
pulling it in different directions.
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, twist, tip or separate
causing death or serious injury.
WARNING - Child restraint
anchorage
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only
those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses or for
attaching other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle.
The tether strap may not work properly if attached some-where other than the correct
tether anchor.
