CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

Children riding in the car should sit in the

rear seat and must always be properly

restrained to minimize the risk of injury in

an accident, sudden stop or sudden

maneuver. According to accident statis-

tics, children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seats than in the

front seat. Larger children not in a child

restraint should use one of the seat belts

provided.

You should be aware of the specific

requirements in your country. Child

and/or infant safety seats must be prop-

erly placed and installed in the rear seat.

You must use a commercially available

child restraint system that meets the

requirements of the Safety Standards of

your country. Child restraint systems are

designed to be secured in vehicle seats

by the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder

belt, or by a tether anchor and/or ISOFIX

anchors.

Children could be injured or killed in a

crash if their restraints are not properly

secured. For small children and babies, a

child seat or infant seat must be used.

Before buying a particular child restraint

system, make sure it fits your car seat

and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow

all the instructions provided by the man-

ufacturer when installing the child

restraint system.

WARNING

• A child restraint system must be

placed in the rear seat. Never

install a child or infant seat on the

front passenger's seat. Should an

accident occur and cause the

passenger side air bag to deploy,

it could severely injure or kill an

infant or child seated in an infant

or child seat. Thus only use a

child restraint in the rear seat of

your vehicle.

• A seat belt or child restraint sys-

tem can become very hot if it is

left in a closed vehicle on a sunny

day, even if the outside tempera-

ture does not feel hot. Be sure to

check the seat cover and buckles

before placing a child there.

• When the child restraint system

is not in use, store it in the lug-

gage area or fasten it with a seat

belt so that it will not be thrown

forward in case of a sudden stop

or an accident.

• Children may be seriously injured

or killed by an inflating air bag.

All children, even those too large

for child restraints, must ride in

the rear seat.

WARNING

(Continued)

• Never leave children unattended

in a vehicle – not even for a short

time. The car can heat up very

quickly, resulting in serious

injuries to children inside. Even

very young children may inadver-

tently cause the vehicle to move,

entangle themselves in the win-

dows, or lock themselves or oth-

ers inside the vehicle.

• Never use an infant carrier or a

child safety seat that "hooks"

over a seatback, it may not pro-

vide adequate security in an acci-

dent.

To reduce a risk of serious or fatal

injuries:

• Children of all ages are safer

when restrained in the rear seat.

A child riding in the front passen-

ger seat can be forcefully struck

by an inflating air bag resulting in

serious or fatal injuries.

• Seat belts can become very hot,

especially when the car is parked

in direct sunlight. Always check

seat belt buckles before fasten-

ing them over a child.

• Always follow the instructions for

installation and use of the child

restraint maker.

• Never allow two children, or any

two persons, to use the same

seat belt.

• After an accident, we recommend

that the system be checked by an

authorized Kia dealer.

• Always make sure the child seat

is secured properly in the car and

your child is securely restrained

in the child seat.

• Children often squirm and repo-

sition themselves improperly.

Never let a child ride with the

shoulder belt under their arm or

behind their back. Always proper-

ly position and secure children in

the rear seat.

• If there is not enough space to

place the child restraint system

because of the driver's seat,

install the child restraint system

in the rear right seat.

• Never hold a child in your arms or

lap when riding in a vehicle. The

violent forces created during a

crash will tear the child from your

arms and throw the child against

the car’s interior.

• Never allow a child to stand-up or

kneel on the seat or floorboard of

a moving vehicle. During a colli-

sion or sudden stop, the child

can be violently thrown against

the vehicles interior, resulting in

serious injury.

• Never put a seat belt over your-

self and a child. During a crash,

the belt could press deep into the

child causing serious internal

injuries.

WARNING

WARNING - Child seat

installation

Never place a rear-facing child

restraint in the front passenger

seat, because of the danger that an

inflating passenger-side air bag

could impact the rear-facing child

restraint and kill the child.

• A child can be seriously injured

or killed in a collision if the child

restraint is not properly anchored

to the vehicle and the child is not

properly restrained in the child

restraint. Before installing the

child restraint system, read the

instructions supplied by the child

restraint system manufacturer.

CRS09

Forward-facing child restraint system

• If the seat belt does not operate

as described in this section, we

recommend that the system be

checked by an authorized Kia

dealer.

• Failure to observe this manual's

instructions regarding child

restraint system and the instruc-

tions provided with the child

restraint system could increase

the chance and/or severity of

injury in an accident.

OJD032027

Using a child restraint system

• If the vehicle headrest prevents

proper installation of a child seat

(as described in the child seat sys-

tem manual), the headrest of the

respective seating position shall

be readjusted or entirely removed.

For small children and babies, the use of

a child seat or infant seat is required. This

child seat or infant seat should be of

appropriate size for the child and should

be installed in accordance with the manu-

facturer's instructions. For safety reasons,

we recommend that the child restraint sys-

tem be used in the rear seats.

Do not install a child restraint seat

at the center of the rear seat using

the tether anchors. The tether

anchors are only provided for the

left and right outboard rear seating

positions.

Check that the child restraint sys-

tem is secure by pushing and

pulling it in different directions.

Incorrectly fitted child restraints

may swing, twist, tip or separate

causing death or serious injury.

In a crash, the child restraint seat

tether anchor attachments may not

be strong enough to secure the

child restraint seat properly in the

center of the rear seat and may

break, causing serious injury or

death.

WARNING

- Child restraint anchorage

OVI039060

Securing a child restraint system

with “ISOFIX” system and “Tether

Anchorage” system (if equipped)

• Child restraint anchorages are

designed to withstand only those

loads imposed by correctly fitted

child restraints. Under no circum-

stances are they to be used for

adult seat belts or harnesses or

for attaching other items or

equipment to the vehicle.

ISOFIX is a standardised method of fit-

ting child seats that eliminates the need

to use the standard adult seat belt to

secure the seat in the vehicle. This

enables a much more secure and posi-

tive location with the added benefit of

easier and quicker installation.

• The tether strap may not work

properly if attached somewhere

other than the correct tether

anchor.

An ISOFIX-seat may only be installed if it

has vehicle-specific or universal approval

in accordance with the requirements of

ECE-R 44.

Safety features of your vehicle

Both rear outboard seats are equipped

with a pair of ISOFIX anchorages as well

as a corresponding top tether anchorage

on the floor behind the rear seats

(wagon) or the shelf behind the rear

seats (sedan). The ISOFIX anchorages

are located between seat cushion and

backrest, marked with the ISOFIX icon.

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

buckles and the seat belt web-

bing must be retracted behind

the child restraint to prevent the

child from reaching and taking

hold of unretracted seat belts.

Unlatched metal latch plates or

tabs may allow the child to reach

the unretracted seat belts which

may result in strangulation and a

serious injury or death to the

child in the child restraint.

ISOFIX Anchor

Position Indicator

For installation, CRS ISOFIX connecters

have to engage with the vehicles ISOFIX

anchorages (listen for a CLICK, check

potential visual indicators on the CRS

and cross-check by pulling).

OJD032030

CRS with universal approval to ECE-R

44 need to be fixed additionally with a top

tether strap connected to the correspon-

ding top tether anchorage point on the

floor behind the rear seats (wagon) or the

shelf behind the rear seats (sedan).

There are ISOFIX symbols located on

the lower portion of each side of the rear

seatbacks. These symbols indicate the

position of the lower anchors for child

restraints so equipped.

• Do not place anything around the

ISOFIX anchors. Also make sure

that the seat belt is not caught in

the ISOFIX anchors.

The installing and the use of a child-seat

has to be done according to the

installing-manual, which is added to the

ISOFIX-seat.
