Placing A Passenger Safety Belt Into The Auto Lock Mode - Kia Sedona 2014 Owner's Manual

Features of your vehicle
Follow the child seat manufacturer's
instructions to properly install child
restraint seats with LATCH or LATCH-
compatible attachments.
Once you have installed the LATCH child
restraint, assure that the seat is properly
attached to the LATCH and tether
anchors. Also, test the child restraint seat
before you place the child in it. Tilt the
seat from side to side. Also try to tug the
seat forward. Check to see if the anchors
hold the seat in place.
CAUTION
Do not allow the rear seat belt web-
bing to get scratched or pinched by
the Child-seat latch and LATCH
anchor during the installation.

WARNING
• When using the vehicle's
"LATCH" system to install a child
restraint system in the rear seat,
all unused vehicle rear seat belt
metal latch plates or tabs must be
latched securely in their seat belt
buckles and the seat belt webbing
must be retracted behind the
child restraint to prevent the child
from reaching and taking hold of
unretracted seat belts. Unlatched
metal latch plates or tabs may
allow the child to reach the unre-
tracted seat belts which may
result in strangulation and a seri-
ous injury or death to the child in
the child restraint.
• Do not place anything around the
lower anchors. Also make sure
that the seat belt is not caught in
the lower anchors.
WARNING
If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, there is a significant risk
of a child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision.
WARNING -
LATCH lower
anchors
LATCH lower anchors are only to be
used with the left and right rear out-
board seating positions. Never
attempt to attach an
equipped seat in the center seating
position. You may damage the
anchors or the anchors may fail and
break in a collision.
WARNING
Install the child restraint seat fully
rearward against the seatback with
the seatback in a vertical position,
not reclined.

restraint system, use the following proce-
dure.
