Safety features of your vehicle
403
WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
• Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the front
passenger seat can be force-
fully struck by an inflating air
bag resulting in serious or
fatal injuries.
• Always follow the child
restraint system manufactur-
er’s instructions for installa-
tion and use of the child
restraint.
• Always make sure the child
seat is secured properly in the
vehicle and your child is
securely restrained in the
child seat.
• Never hold a child in your
arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle.The violent forces cre-
ated during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and
throw the child against the
vehicle’s interior.

• Never put a seat belt over
yourself and a child. During a
crash, the belt could press
deep into the child causing
serious internal injuries.
• Never leave children unattend-
ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The vehicle can
heat up very quickly, resulting
in serious injuries to children
inside. Even very young chil-
dren may inadvertently cause
the vehicle to move, entangle
themselves in the windows, or
lock themselves or others
inside the vehicle.
• Never allow two children, or
any two persons, to use the
same seat belt.
• Children often squirm and
reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride with
the shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in the rear seat.

• Never allow a child to stand-
up or kneel on the seat or floor
of a moving vehicle. During a
collision or sudden stop, the
child can be violently thrown
against the vehicle’s interior,
resulting in serious injury.
• Never use an infant carrier or
a child safety seat that
"hooks" over a seatback, it
may not provide adequate
security in an accident.
• Seat belts can become very
hot, especially when the vehi-
cle is parked in direct sun-
light. Always check the seat
belt buckles before fastening
them over a child.
• After an accident, we recom-
mend the system to be
checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
• If there is not enough space to
place the child restraint sys-
tem because of the driver's
seat, install the child restraint
system in the rear right seat.
