tem to the ISOFIX anchor, insert
the child restraint system latch into
the ISOFIX anchor. Listen for the
audible “click” sound.
2. Connect the top tether strap to the corresponding top tether anchor-
age and tighten it. (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 system at the centre of the rear
seat using the vehicle's ISOFIX
anchors. The ISOFIX anchors
are only provided for the left
and right outboard rear seatingpositions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX
anchors by attempting to
attach a child restraint system
in the middle of the rear seat to
the ISOFIX anchors.
In a crash, the child restraint
system ISOFIX attachments
may not be strong enough to
secure the child restraint sys-
tem properly in the centre of the
rear seat and may break, caus-
ing serious injury or death.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not mount more than onechild restraint system to an
ISOFIX anc horage point. The
improper increased load may
cause the anchorage points or
top tether anchor to break,
causing serious injury or death.

tem only to the appropriate
locations shown in the illus-tration.
Always follow the installation and use instructions provided

Driver's and passenger's front
air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)System and lap/shoulder belts at both
the driver and passenger seating posi-
tions. The indications of the system's pres-
ence are the letters "AIR BAG"
intagliated on the air bag pad cover
in the steering wheel and the pas-
senger's side front panel pad above
the glove box. The SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the
centre of the steering wheel and the
passenger's side front panel above
the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the frontpassenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt sys-tem alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity.

WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every
time, everyone! Air bags inflate
with considerable force and in
the blink of an eye. Seat belts
help keep occupants in proper
position to obtain maximum
benefit from the air bag. Even
with air bags, improperly andunbelted occupants can be
severely injured when the air
bag inflates. Always follow the
precautions about seat belts, air
bags and occupant safety con-
tained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries and receive the
maximum safety benefit from
your restraint system:
Never place a child in any child or booster seat in the
front seat.

ABC – Always Buckle Childrenin the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age
to ride.
Front and side air bags can injure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
Move your seat as far back as practical from the front air
bags, whilst still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bags. Improperly positioned
drivers and passengers can
be severely injured by inflat-
ing air bags.
Never lean against the door or centre console – always sit inan upright position.
(Continued)(Continued)
No objects should be placedover or near the air bag mod- ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box, because any suchobject could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags
to deploy.
Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring or other com-ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental deployment
of the air bags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
If the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated
whilst the vehicle is being
driven, we recommend that
the system be inspected by an
authorised Kia dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
Air bags can only be usedonce – we recommend that
the system be replaced by an
authorised Kia dealer.
The SRS is designed to deploy the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severeand when the impact angle is
less than 30° from the forwardlongitudinal axis of the vehi-
cle. Additionally, the air bags
will only deploy once. Seat
belts must be worn at all times.
Front air bags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.
A child restraint system must never be placed in the front
seat. The infant or child could
be severely injured or killed by
an air bag deployment in caseof an accident.

Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch (if equipped)
The passenger’s front air bag can be
deactivated by the passenger’s front
air bag ON/OFF switch if a child
restraint is installed on the front pas-senger's seat or if the front passen-
ger's seat is unoccupied by a person.
To ensure the safety of your child,
the passenger’s front air bag must be
deactivated when it should be neces-
sary to install a rearward facing childseat on the front passenger seat in
exceptional circumstances.
(Continued)
Children age 12 and under must always be properly restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated
in the front seat, he or she
must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.
For maximum safety protec- tion in all types of crashes, all
occupants including the driver
should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an air bag
is also provided at their seat-ing position to minimise the
risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash. Do not
sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the air bag whilst the vehi-
cle is in motion.
(Continued)(Continued)
Sitting improperly or out ofposition can result in serious
or fatal injury in a crash. Alloccupants should sit upright
with the seat back in an upright
position, centred on the seatcushion with their seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and
their feet on the floor until the
vehicle is parked and the igni-
tion key is removed.
The SRS air bag system must deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If anoccupant is out of positionbecause of not wearing a seat
belt, the air bag may forcefullycontact the occupant causingserious or fatal injuries.
