僅 Seat Belt Precautions - Kia K2700 2022 Manual

Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
Lap belt
Be sure the lap belt is positioned snugly
around the hips, and not on the waist.
Failure to position the lap belt snugly
around the hips will increase the chance
and severity of injury in the event of a
collision.
Seat belt precautions
WARNING
僅 All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Seat belts
and child restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all occu-
pants in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. Without a seat belt,
occupants could be shifted too close
to a deploying air bag, strike the inte-
rior structure or be thrown from the
vehicle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the precautions about
seat belts, air bags and occupant
seating contained in this manual.
僅 Never wear a seat belt over fragile
objects. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt can damage it.
Infant or small child
To increase their safety, infants and
young children should always be
restrained by a restraint system
approved for their age and size.
Never allow a child to stand or kneel on
the seat of a moving vehicle. Never allow
a safety belt to be placed around both a
child and an adult or around two chil-
dren at the same time.

It is best for children to be seated in the
rear seat.
WARNING
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, including
infants and children. Never hold a child
in your arms or lap when riding in a vehi-
cle. The violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your arms
and throw the child against the interior.
Always use a child restraint appropriate
for your child's height and weight.
NOTICE
Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the seat by a child restraint
system that meets the requirements of
the Safety Standards of your country.
Before buying any child restraint system,
make sure that it has a label certifying
that it meets Safety Standards of your
country. The restraint must be appropri-
ate for your child's height and weight.
Check the label on the child restraint for
this information. Refer to "Child restraint
system (CRS)" on page 3-14.
Larger children
As children grow, they may need to use
new child-restraint systems, including
larger child seats or booster seats, which
are appropriate for their increased size.
A child who has outgrown available
child-restraint systems should use the
belts provided in the vehicle. When
seated in the rear outboard seats, the
child should be restrained by the lap/
shoulder belt.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child's neck or face, try plac-
