Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING - Loose objects

WARNING - Driver respon-

sibility for front seat pas-

senger

WARNING - Driver’s seat

• Never attempt to adjust seat

while the vehicle is moving. This

could result in loss of control,

and an accident causing death,

serious injury, or property dam-

age.

Loose objects in the driver’s foot

area could interfere with the opera-

tion of the foot pedals, possibly

causing an accident. Do not place

anything under the front seats.

Riding in a vehicle with a front seat-

back reclined could lead to serious

or fatal injury in an accident. If a

front seat is reclined during an

accident, the occupant’s hips may

slide under the lap portion of the

seat belt applying great force to the

unprotected abdomen. Serious or

fatal internal injuries could result.

The driver must advise the front

passenger to keep the seatback in

an upright position whenever the

vehicle is in motion.

• Do not allow anything to interfere

with the normal position of the

seatback. Storing items against a

seatback or in any other way

interfering with proper locking of

a seatback could result in serious

or fatal injury in a sudden stop or

collision.

✽

NOTICE

If you have a collision accident, the front

seat may be damaged.

In this case we recommend that you

have a seat system checked by an

authorized Kia dealer.

• Always drive and ride with your

seatback upright and the lap por-

tion of the seat belt snug and low

across the hips. This is the best

position to protect you in case of

an accident.

WARNING

Do not use a sitting cushion that

reduces friction between the seat

and passenger. The passenger's

hips may slide under the lap por-

tion of the seat belt during an acci-

dent or a sudden stop. Serious or

fatal internal injuries could result

because the seat belt can't operate

normally.

• In order to avoid unnecessary

and perhaps severe air bag

injuries, always sit as far back as

possible from the steering wheel

while maintaining comfortable

control of the vehicle. It is recom-

mended that your chest is at least

250 mm (10 inches) away from

the steering wheel.

WARNING - Rear seatbacks

WARNING

• The rear seatback must be

securely latched. If not, passen-

gers and objects could be thrown

forward resulting in serious

injury or death in the event of a

sudden stop or collision.

After adjusting the seat, always

check that it is securely locked into

place by attempting to move the

seat forward or backward without

using the lock release lever.

Sudden or unexpected movement

of the driver's seat could cause you

to lose control of the vehicle result-

ing in an accident.

• Luggage and other cargo should

be laid flat in the cargo area. If

objects are large, heavy, or must

be piled, they must be secured.

Under no circumstances should

cargo be piled higher than the

seatbacks. Failure to follow these

warnings could result in serious

injury or death in the event of a

sudden stop, collision or rollover.

OJD032002

Front seat

WARNING

• Use extreme caution so that

hands or other objects are not

caught in the seat mechanisms

while the seat is moving.

Manual adjustment

Forward and backward

To move the seat forward or backward:

1. Pull the seat slide adjustment lever up

and hold it.

2. Slide the seat to the position you desire.

• No passenger should ride in the

cargo area or sit or lie on folded

seatbacks while the vehicle is

moving. All passengers must be

properly seated in seats and

restrained properly while riding.

• Do not put a cigarette lighter on

the floor or seat. When you oper-

ate the seat, gas may gush out of

the lighter and cause fire.

3. Release the lever and make sure the

seat is locked in place.

• Use extreme caution when picking

small objects trapped under the

seats or between the seat and the

center console. Your hands might

be cut or injured by the sharp

edges of the seat mechanism.

Adjust the seat before driving, and make

sure the seat is locked securely by trying

to move forward and backward without

using the lever. If the seat moves, it is not

locked properly.

• When resetting the seatback to

the upright position, make sure it

is securely latched by pushing it

forward and backwards.

Folding the rear seat

The rear seatbacks (or cushions) may be

folded to facilitate carrying long items or

to increase the luggage capacity of the

vehicle.

WARNING

The purpose of the fold-down rear

seatbacks (or cushions) is to allow

you to carry longer objects than

could otherwise be accommodated.

OJD032018

Never allow passengers to sit on

top of the folded down seatback

while the car is moving as this is

not a proper seating position and

no seat belts are available for use.

This could result in serious injury

or death in case of an accident or

sudden stop. Objects carried on the

folded down seatback should not

extend higher than the top of the

front seats. This could allow cargo

to slide forward and cause injury or

damage during sudden stops.

WARNING

WARNING - Cargo

When you return the rear seatback

to its upright position after being

folded down:

Cargo should always be secured to

prevent it from being thrown about

the vehicle in a collision and caus-

ing injury to the vehicle occupants.

Special care should be taken of

objects placed in the rear seats,

since those may hit the front seat

occupants in a frontal collision.

Be careful not to damage the seat

belt webbing or buckle. Do not

allow the seat belt webbing or

buckle to get caught or pinched in

the rear seat. Ensure that the seat-

back is completely locked into its

upright position by pushing on the

top of the seatback. Otherwise, in

an accident or sudden stop, the

seat could fold down and allow

cargo to enter the passenger com-

partment, which could result in

serious injury or death.

If you can not see the red line at the

bottom of folding lever, it means the

seatback is locked completely.

automatic transaxle is in P (Park)

or the manual transaxle is in R

(Reverse) or 1st, and the parking

brake is securely applied whenever

loading or unloading cargo. Failure

to take these steps may allow the

vehicle to move if the shift lever is

inadvertently moved to another

position.

3. When the seatback is completely

installed, check the seatback folding

lever again.

CAUTION - Rear seat belts

When returning the rear seatbacks

to the upright position, remember

to return the rear shoulder belts to

their proper position.
