Safety features of your vehicle
(Continued)
• Always make sure the child seat is
secured properly in the vehicle and
your child is securely restrained in
the child seat.
• Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when riding in a vehicle. The vi‐
olent forces created during a crash
will tear the child from your arms
and throw the child against the ve‐
hicle's interior.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the belt
could press deep into the child
causing serious internal injuries.
• Never leave children unattended in
a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The vehicle can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious injuries
to children inside. Even very young
children may inadvertently cause
the vehicle to move, entangle
themselves in the windows, or lock
themselves or others inside the
vehicle.
• Never allow two children, or any
two persons, to use the same seat
belt.

• Children often squirm and reposi‐
tion themselves improperly. Never
let a child ride with the shoulder
belt under their arm or behind
their back. Always properly posi‐
tion and secure children in the rear
seat.
• Never allow a child to standup or
kneel on the seat or floor of a
moving vehicle. During a collision
or sudden stop, the child can be vi‐
olently thrown against the vehi‐
cle's interior, resulting in serious
injury.
• Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks" over
a seatback, it may not provide ad‐
equate security in an accident.
• Seat belts can become very hot,
especially when the vehicle is
parked in direct sunlight. Always
check the seat belt buckles before
fastening them over a child.

• After an accident, have the sys‐
tem checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
• 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.
