4. Follow the child restraint instructions
for properly adjusting and tightening
the lower attachments on the child
restraint to the lower anchors.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using the LATCH system:
僅 Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your Child
Restraint System.
僅 To prevent the child from reaching
and taking hold of the unused seat
belts, buckle all unused rear seat belts
before the child is placed into the
vehicle. Lock each unused seatbelt
following the instructions in the "auto-
matic locking mode" subsection, and
place the webbing behind the child
seat or against an unused seatback.
Children can be strangled if a shoul-
der belt becomes wrapped around
their neck and the seat belt tightens.
僅 NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single anchor. This could
cause the anchor or attachment to
come loose or break.
僅 Always have the LATCH system
inspected by your authorized Kia
dealer after an accident. An accident
can damage the LATCH system and
may not properly secure the child
restraint.

Child Restraint System (CRS)
Securing a child restraint seat
with "Tether Anchor" system
OMQ4AH030042
First secure the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchors or the seat belt. If
the child restraint manufacturer recom-
mends that the top tether strap be
attached, attach and tighten the top
tether strap to the top tether strap
anchor.
Child Restraint hook holders are located
on the seat back.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
installing the tether strap:
僅 Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your Child
Restraint System.
僅 NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single tether anchor.
This could cause the anchor or attach-
ment to come loose or break.
僅 Do not attach the tether strap to any-
thing other than the correct tether
anchor. It may not work properly if
attached to something else.
僅 Do not use the tether anchors for
adult seat belts or harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to
the vehicle.
