Vehicle safety controls
"Suitability of each seating position for belted & ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems ac
cording to UN regulations (For General)" on page 172 .
• Read and comply with the warnings and instructions for installation and use provid
ed with the Child Restraint System.
Overview
Our recommendation: Children always in the rear
Infants and younger children must be restrained in an appropriate rearward-facing
or forward-facing CRS that has first been properly secured to the seat of the vehicle.
Read and comply with the instructions for installation and use provided by the manu
facturer of the Child Restraint System.
Children under the age of 13 should always ride in the rear seats; they must always
be restrained properly to minimise the risk of injury in case of accident, sudden stop,
or sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than when they are in the front seat. Children too large for a Child Restraint
System must use the seat belts provided.
Most countries have regulations requiring that children travel in approved child re
straint systems.
Laws governing the age or height/weight restrictions at which seat belts can be used
instead of Child Restraint System differ among countries, so you should be aware of
the specific requirements in your country/the country where you are driving.
Child Restraint Systems must be properly installed in the vehicle seat. Always use a
commercially available Child Restraint System that meets the requirements of your
country.
WARNING
• Always properly restrain children in the vehicle. Children of all ages are safer when
riding in the rear seats. Never place a rearward-facing Child Restraint System on the
front passenger seat, unless the air bag is deactivated.
• Always follow the Child Restraint System manufacturer's instructions for installation
and use.
• Always properly restrain your child in the Child Restraint System.
• Do not use an infant carrier or a child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback, it
may not provide adequate protection in an accident.
• After an accident, have the system checked by a professional workshop. Kia recom
mends visiting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
