Using a child restraint system

Rearward-facing child restraint system
Forward-facing child restraint system
For small children and babies, the
use of a child restraint system is
required. The child restraint system
should be of appropriate size for the
child and should be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.

For safety reasons, we recommend
the child restraint system to be used
in the rear seats.
WARNING
Never place a rearward facing
child restraint system in the
front passenger seat, unless the
passenger frontal airbag is deac-
tivated. An inflating passenger
frontal airbag could impact the
rearward facing child restraint
CRS09
system and kill the child.
WARNING
• A child can be seriously
injured or killed in a collision
if the child restraint system is
not properly anchored to the
vehicle and the child is not
properly restrained in the
OXM033008
child restraint system. Before
installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions
supplied by the child restraint
system manufacturer.

• If the seat belt does not oper-
ate as described in this sec-
tion, have the system checked
by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
• Failure in observing this man-
ual's instructions regarding
child restraint systems and
the instructions provided with
the child restraint system
could increase the chance
and/or severity of injury in an
accident.

of child restraint system. Make
