Operating condition(s)
• When the vehicle is in P (Park) and the vehicle is in ON position
WARNING
• Check the occupants of the 3rd row seats and fold the seats. Do not fold the seats
if there are pets, luggage or people in the third row seats, or whilst passengers are
getting off. The seat may suddenly move and cause injury.
• It is very dangerous to have an occupant in the cargo space with the rear seat fold
ed down.
• When loading cargo, do not load it above the front seat height, and secure movable
cargo to prevent it from being pushed forward. Otherwise vehicle occupants may
be injured by the cargo.
• When driving with the backrest folded, secure the cargo securely so that it does not
move. Accidents may occur due to objects moving when starting or braking sud
denly.
• The 3rd row seats can be folded or unfolded even when the vehicle is in OFF posi
tion. Excessive operation of about 10 or more times in this condition may cause the
12V battery to discharge prematurely, so be careful.
• Do not apply excessive force to the seats whilst the 3rd row seats are operating.
Seats may be damaged.
CAUTION
• If the seat is operated more than 5 times without resting, the drive motor may be
overtaxed. In this case, the seat will not operate when the button is pressed to pre
vent overheating. Wait for about 1 minute or more before operating.
• When the 3rd row seats are fully folded, they will no longer fold even if you press
the 3rd row seat seatback angle adjustment switch.
• If the seatback angle is within a certain range, the backrest will be unfolded by
pressing the 3rd row seatback angle adjustment switch, and out of a certain angle,
the angle of the backrest can be adjusted by pressing the 3rd row seat fold/unfold
switch.
• Be sure to unfold the headrest when sitting in the 3rd row seat.
• Do not remove the separate cover on the back of the 3rd row seat. If the cover is
removed, the third row seats may be damaged. If the cover is removed, Have the
seats inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit an au
thorised Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTE
• Be sure to unfold the headrest when sitting in the 3rd row seat.
• Seat adjustment may stop working if the vehicle is moved or shifted whilst the seat
