Both rear outboard seats are equipped with a pair of ISOFIX
anchorages as well as a correspon-
ding top tether anchorage on the
back side of the back rest. The
ISOFIX anchorages are located
between seat cushion and back rest,
marked with the ISOFIX icon.
For installation, child restraint system
ISOFIX connectors have to engage
with the vehicles ISOFIX anchorages
(listen for a CLICK, check potential
visual indicators on the child restraint
system and cross-check by pulling).
Child restraint systems with universal
approval to ECE-R 44, ECE-R 129 or
relevant regulation need to be fixed
additionally with a top tether strap con-nected to the corresponding top tether
anchorage point in the back rest. The installation and the use of a child
restraint system has to be done
according to the installation manual,
which is provided with the ISOFIX
child restraint system. ❈(1) : ISOFIX Anchor Position Indicator

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,

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 serious frontal or side col-lision (if equipped with side air bag
or curtain air bag) in order to help
protect the occupants 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 an
accident. It is much more likely that
you will simply see the deflated air
bags hanging out of their storage
compartments after the collision.
In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags
must inflate rapidly. The speed ofair bag inflation is a consequence
of extremely short time in which acollision occurs and the need to
get the air bag between the occu-
pant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe col-
lision and is thus a necessary partof air bag 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.WARNING
Even in vehicles with air bags, you and your passengers must
always wear the safety belts
provided in order to minimise
the risk and severity of injury
in the event of a collision or in
most rollover situation.
SRS and pretensioners con- tain explosive chemicals.
If scraping a vehicle without
removing SRS and pretension-
ers from a vehicle, it may cause
fire. Before scraping a vehicle,
we recommend that you con-
tact an authorised 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
There are even circumstancesunder which contact with the
steering wheel air bag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively close to the steering wheel.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 impact in order to
reduce discomfort and prevent
prolonged exposure 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
the 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 ste ering
wheel air bag. The front pas-
senger should always move
their seat as far back as pos-
sible and sit back in their seat.
Air bag inflates instantly in an event of a collision, passen-
gers 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 thesteering 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 areas internal
components immediately after
an air bag has inflated.
