Safety features of your vehicle
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
(Type A- ,Type B- )
(2) : ISOFIX Anchor For stable and safe installation of
child restraint system, adjust the seat
position (seat-back angle and/or seat
forward and backward) so that your
child can fit in the child restraint sys-
tem in a comfortable manner.
WARNING
Install the child restraint seat
after reclining the seatback.
Reclined 10 clicks (slightly pull
up the recline lever) rearward
from the first locked position. ❈
❈ first locked position :
Is a position when the seatback
is unfold to the first locked posi-
tion from the fully folded seat-
back position (almost theupright 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 buck-les and the seat belt webbing
must be retracted behind the
child restraint system to pre-
vent the child from reachingand taking hold of unretracted
seat belts. Unlatched metal
latch plates or tabs may allow
the child to reach the unretract-
ed seat belts which may resultin strangulation and a serious
injury or death to the child in
the child restraint system.
Do not place anything around the lower anchors. Also makesure that the seat belt is not
caught in the lower anchors.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on
the intensity, speed or angles ofimpact of the front collision.
WARNING
Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where
air bag or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, whichcould result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
We recommend that the sys-
tem be serviced by an autho-
rised Kia dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
Problems may arise if the sen-sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body
or B pillar and C pillars where
side collision sensors are
installed. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorised Kia dealer.
Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact
and deploy the air bag(s) in
certain collisions. Installing
bumper guards or replacing a
bumper with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect
your vehicles collision and air
bag deployment performance.

The detecting range may decrease when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) and narrower than 14
cm (6 in.) in diameter. Rear parking assist system precautions
The rear parking assist system
may not sound sequentially depending on the speed andshapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumperheight or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 30 cm (11.8 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a softcloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.✽✽ NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; it can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be detected
by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.
