Safety features of your vehicle

Child restraint system (CRS)

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 passenger 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 require-
ments in your country, and where you
are travelling.
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.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
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
3 28
the vehicle. Read and comply with the
instructions for installation and use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the Child
Restraint System.
WARNING
僅 Always follow the Child Restraint Sys-
tem manufacturer's instructions for
installation and use.
僅 Always properly restrain your child in
the Child Restraint System.
僅 Do not use an infant carrier or a child
safety seat that "hooks" over a seat-
back, it may not provide adequate
protection in an accident.
僅 After an accident, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
Selecting a Child Restraint Sys-
tem (CRS)
When selecting a Child Restraint System
for your child, always:
僅 Make sure the Child Restraint System
has a label certifying that it meets the
applicable Safety Standards of your

installed if it was approved in accor-
dance with the requirements of ECE-
R44, ECE-R129 or relevant regulation.
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.
For the suitability of Child Restraint
Systems on the vehicle's seating posi-
tions, please refer to "Suitability of
