Rearward-facing child restraint system
Forward-facing child restraint system
For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is required.
The child seat or infant seat should be of appropriate size for the child and should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
For safety reasons, we recommend that the child restraint system be used in the rear seats.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat, because of the danger an inflating passenger-side air bag could impact the rear-facing child restraint and kill the child.
Since all passenger seat belts move freely under normal conditions and only lock under extreme or emergency conditions (emergency lock mode), you must manually change these seat belts to the auto lock mode to secure a child restraint.
If the seat belt does not operate as described in this section, have the system checked immediately by your authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING - Child seat installation
✽ NOTICE
If the vehicle headrest prevents proper installation of a child seat, the headrest of the respective seating position shall be readjusted or entirely removed.
