On each side of the rear seat,
between the cushion and backrest,are located a pair of ISOFIX anchor-age points together with a top tethermounting on the floor behind the rear
seats. During the installation, theseat has to be engaged at the
anchorage-points in a way you can
hear it clicking (check by pulling!)
and has to be fixed with the Top
Tether-belt on the belonging point on
the back of the rear seatbacks. The installing and the use of a child- seat has to be done according to the
installing-manual, which is added tothe ISOFIX-seat.
WARNING
Install the child restraint seat
fully rearward against the seat-
back with the seatback reclined
two positions from the most
upright latched position.WARNING
When using the vehicle's "ISOFIX" system to install a
child restraint system in the
rear seat, all unused vehicle
rear seat belt metal latch
plates or tabs must be latched
securely in their seat belt
buckles and the seat belt web-
bing must be retracted behind
the child restraint to prevent
the child from reaching andtaking hold of unretracted
seat belts. Unlatched metal
latch plates or tabs may allow
the child to reach the unre-
tracted seat belts which mayresult in strangulation and a
serious injury or death to the
child in the child restraint.
Do not place anything around the lower anchors. Also makesure that the seat belt is not
caught in the lower anchors.

To secure the child restraint seat
1. To engage the child restraint seatto the ISOFIX anchor, insert the
child restraint seat latch into the
ISOFIX anchor. Listen for the audi-
ble “click” sound.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the child restraint hook holder and
tighten to secure the seat. (Refer
to the previous page.)
CAUTION
Do not allow the rear seat belt
webbing to get scratched orpinched by the ISOFIX-seat latch and ISOFIX anchor duringinstallation.
WARNING
Do not install a child restraint seat at the center of the rear
seat using the vehicle's
ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX
anchors are only provided for
the left and right outboard
rear seating positions. Do not
misuse the ISOFIX anchors by
attempting to attach a child
restraint seat in the middle ofthe rear seat to the ISOFIX
anchors.
In a crash, the child restraint
seat ISOFIX attachments may
not be strong enough to
secure the child restraint seat
properly in the center of the
rear seat and may break,
causing serious injury ordeath.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not mount more than onechild restraint to a child
restraint lower anchorage
point. The improper increased
load may cause the anchor-
age points or tether anchor to
break, causing serious injuryor death.
Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX- compatible child restraint
seat only to the appropriate
locations shown in the illus-tration.
Always follow the installation and use instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the
child restraint.

How does the air bag system operate
Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
or START position.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of a serious frontal collisionor side collision (if equipped with a
side air bag or curtain air bag) inorder to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
✽✽ NOTICE - For Europe
Also, the air bags inflate instantly in
the event of a rollover (if equipped
with a side air bag or curtain air bag)
in order to help protect the occu-
pants from serious physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These
two factors determine whether thesensors produce an electronic
deployment/ inflation signal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors including vehiclespeed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. The determin-
ing factors are not limited to those
mentioned above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during anaccident.
It is much more likely that you will simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
WARNING
Even in vehicles with air bags, you and your passengers
must always wear the safety
belts provided in order to min-
imize the risk and severity of
injury in the event of a colli-
sion or rollover.
SRS and pretensioners con- tain explosive chemicals.
If scraping a vehicle without
removing SRS and preten-
sioners from a vehicle, it may
cause fire. Before scraping a
vehicle, we recommend that
you contact an authorized Kia
dealer.
Keep the SRS parts and wirings away from water or any
liquid. If the SRS components
are inoperative due to expo-
sure to water or liquids, it may
cause fire or severe injury.

Safety features of your vehicle
In order to help provide protectionin a severe collision, the air bags
must inflate rapidly. The speed ofthe air bag inflation is a conse-
quence of extremely short time inwhich a collision occurs and the
need to inflate the air bag between
the occupant and the vehicle struc-
tures before the occupant impacts
those structures. This speed of inflation reduces the
risk of serious or life-threatening
injuries in a severe collision and is
thus a necessary part of the airbag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and bro-
ken bones because the inflationspeed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the
steering wheel air bag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively close to the steeringwheel.Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and they leave smoke
and powder in the air inside of 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 substantial discomfort in breath-
ing due to the contact of your chestwith 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 the impact in order
to reduce discomfort and prevent
prolonged exposure to smoke and
powder.
Though the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause irritation
to the skin (eyes, nose and throat,
etc). If this is the case, wash and
rinse with cold water immediatelyand 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.

Front passenger's air bag warning
label for child restraint system
In addition, we recommend that you
do not place front-facing child
restraints in the front passenger’s
seat either. If the front passenger air
bag inflates, it could cause serious or
fatal injuries to the child.
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the air bag related parts in the
steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seats 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 stor-
age area’s internal compo-
nents immediately after an air
bag has inflated.
Do not install or place any accessories near air bag
deployment areas, such as
the instrument panel, win-
dows, pillars, and roof rails.WARNING
Never place a rear facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat, unless the passenger-side
air bag is deactivated. An inflat-
ing passenger-side air bag
could impact the rear-facing
child restraint and kill the child.

Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning
light in your instrument panel is to
alert you of a potential problem with
your air bag - Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).
When the ignition switch is turned
ON, the warning light should illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds,
then go off.Have the system checked if:
The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
The light stays on after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds.
The light comes on while the vehi- cle is in motion.WARNING
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat pro-
tected by an ACTIVE AIR BAG
in front of it, DEATH or SERI-
OUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
When children are seated in the rear outboard seats of a
vehicle equipped with side
and/or curtain air bags, be
sure to install the child
restraint system as far away
from the door side as possible,
and securely lock the childrestraint system in position.
Inflation of side and/or curtain
air bags could cause serious
injury or death to an infant or
child.
