Safety features of your vehicle
23
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout
this section, and throughout this man-
ual. The safety precautions in this sec-
tion are among the most important.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of accidents. Air bags are
designed to supplement seat belts,
not replace them. So even though
your vehicle is equipped with air
bags, ALWAYS make sure you and
your passengers wear your seat
belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants
and small children should be
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint. Larger children should use
a booster seat with the lap/shoulder
belt until they can use the seat belt
properly without a booster seat.
Air bag hazards
While air bags can save lives, they
can also cause serious or fatal
injuries to occupants who sit too
close to them, or who are not prop-
erly restrained. Infants, young chil-
dren, and shorter adults are at the
greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instruc-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers.
Safety should be the first concern
when behind the wheel and drivers
need to be aware of the wide array of
potential distractions, such as drowsi-
ness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passen-
gers, and using mobile devices.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel
to focus on activities other than driv-
ing. To reduce your risk of distraction
or getting into an accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobiledevices (i.e., MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) when your
vehicle is parked or safely stopped.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

33
Safety features of your vehicle
ONLY use your mobile devicewhen allowed by laws and when
conditions permit safe use. NEVER
text or email while driving. Most
states have laws prohibiting drivers
from texting. Some states and
cities also prohibit drivers from
using handheld phones.
NEVER let the use of a mobile device distract you from driving.
You have a responsibility to your
passengers and others on the road
to always drive safely, with your
hands on the wheel as well as your
eyes and attention on the road.Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally,
the higher the speed, the greater the
risk, but serious injuries can also
occur at lower speeds. Never drive
faster than is safe for current condi-
tions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
Keep your vehicle in safe con-
dition
Having a tire blowout or a mechani-
cal failure can be extremely haz-
ardous. To reduce the possibility of
such problems, check your tire pres-
sures and condition frequently, and
perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.

367
Safety features of your vehicle
Side air bagYour vehicle is equipped with a side
air bag in each front seat. The pur-
pose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-
senger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed todeploy during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact. However, when side deploy-
ment threshold is satisfied in a front-
impact crash, the side air bags may
deploy.
The side air bags may deploy on the side of the impact or on both
sides.
The side and/or curtain air bags on both sides of the vehicle will deploy
if a rollover or possible rollover is
detected.
The side air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or
rollover situations.
WARNING - No attaching
objects
No objects (such as a crash pad cover, cellular phone
holder, cup holder, perfume or
stickers) should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, windshield
glass, and the front passen-
ger's panel above the glove
box. Such objects could
cause harm if the vehicle is in
a crash severe enough to
cause the air bags to deploy.
Do not place any objects over
the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.
Never place or insert any object into any small opening
near side airbag labels
attached to the vehicle seats.
When the air bag deploys, the
object may affect the deploy-
ment and result in an unex-
pected accident or bodily
harm.

Features of your vehicle
If the smart key does not work cor-
rectly, you may lock and unlock the
door with the mechanical key.
If you have a problem with the
smart key, contact an authorized
K900 Kia dealer.
If the smart key is in close proximi- ty to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the smart
key could be blocked by normal
operation of your cell phone or
smart phone.
This is especially important when
the phone is active such as making

ing, and/or sending/receiving
emails. Avoid placing the smart key
and your cell phone or smart
phone in the same pants or jacket
pocket and maintain adequate dis-
tance between the two devices.
Do not leave the smart key near metallic objects such as golf bags,
metal cases and so on.
Door Lock/Unlock failure or poor starting can occur when the smart
key is placed near metallic objects. Always carry your smart key when
you leave the car. An unattended
smart key close to the vehicle can
cause the vehicle battery to be dis-
charged.
Internal circuit damage may occur when the key comes into contact
with moisture (beverage, water
etc.) or heat. Damage to the smart
key due to exposure to liquids or
heat is not covered by the manu-
facturer's vehicle warranty.
When the smart key is left with a bunch of keys, the Lock/Unlock
button for doors and trunk can be
accidently pressed. Pay careful
attention to key use.Remote keyless entry system
