Child Restraint System (Crs); 僅 Our Recommendation: Children Always In The Rear - Kia EV6 Manual

Safety features of your vehicle

Child restraint system (CRS)

Our recommendation: Children
always in the rear
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rearward-
facing or forward-facing CRS that has
first been properly secured to the seat of
the vehicle. Read and comply with the
instructions for installation and use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the Child
Restraint System.
Children under the age of 13 should
always ride in the rear seats; they must
always be restrained properly to mini-
mize the risk of injury in case of acci-
dent, sudden stop, or sudden maneuver.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than when they are in the
front seat. Children too large for a Child
Restraint System must use the seat belts
provided.
Most countries have regulations requir-
ing that children travel in approved child
restraint systems.
Laws governing the age or height/
weight restrictions at which seat belts
can be used instead of Child Restraint
System differ among countries, so you
should be aware of the specific require-
ments in your country/the country
where you are driving.
Child Restraint Systems must be prop-
erly installed in the vehicle seat. Always
use a commercially available Child
Restraint System that meets the require-
ments of your country.

back, it may not provide adequate
protection in an accident.

checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends visiting an autho-
rized Kia dealer/service partner.
Selecting a Child Restraint Sys-
tem (CRS)
Operation
僅 Select a Child Restraint System based
on your child's height and weight. The
required label or the instructions for
use typically provide this information.
僅 Select a Child Restraint System that
fits the vehicle seating position where
it will be used.
INFORMATION
