Kia CERATO 2018 Owner's Manual page 53

Using a 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.
WARNING
Never place a rear-facing child re‐
straint 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.

• A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child re‐
straint is not properly anchored to
the vehicle and the child is not
properly restrained in the child re‐
straint. Before installing the child
restraint system, read the instruc‐
tions supplied by the child re‐
straint system manufacturer.
• If the seat belt does not operate
as described in this section, have
the system checked by a profes‐
sional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
• Failure to observe this manual's in‐
structions regarding child restraint
systems and the instructions pro‐
vided with the child restraint sys‐
tem could increase the chance
and/or severity of injury in an acci‐
dent.
• 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.
