Child Restraint System (Crs); Our Recommendation: Children Always In The Rear - Kia Cerato 2021 Manual

Safety features of your vehicle
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of
any kind. Any damaged parts should
be replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can
be cleaned by using a mild soap
solution and warm water. Bleach,
dye, strong detergents or abrasives
should not be used because they
may damage and weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an acci -
dent. This should be done even if no
damage is visible. In this case, have
the system replaced by a profes -
sional workshop.
Kia recommends to consult an
authorised Kia dealer/service part -
ner.

Our recommendation: Children
always in the rear
WARNING
Always properly restrain children in
the vehicle. Children of all ages are
safer when riding in the rear seats.
Never place a rearward-facing Child
Restraint System on the front pas -
senger seat, unless the air bag is
deactivated.
Children under age 13 should always
ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to
minimise the risk of injury in an
accident, sudden stop or sudden
manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Children too large for
a Child Restraint System must use
the seat belts provided.
Most countries have regulations
which require children to travel in
approved Child Restraint Systems.
The laws governing the age or
height/weight restrictions at which
seat belts can be used instead of
Child Restraint System differs
among countries, so you should be
aware of the specific requirements
