Safety features of your vehicle
Securing a child restraint with the
LATCH anchors system
To install a LATCH-compatible child
restraint in either of the rear out -
board seating positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away
from the lower anchors. Other -
wise, the webbing or buckle can
be damaged by the latch anchor,
which can make them become
unusable or unsafe.
2. Move any other objects away
from the anchors that could pre -
vent a secure connection between
the child restraint and the lower
anchors.
3. Place the child restraint on the
vehicle seat, then attach the seat
to the lower anchors according to
the instructions provided by the
child restraint manufacturer.
4. Follow the child restraint instruc -
tions for properly adjusting and
tightening the lower attach -
ments on the child restraint to
the lower anchors.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the LATCH system:
Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your
Child Restraint System.
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

Child Restraint System (CRS)
unused seatbelt following the
instructions in the "automatic
locking mode" subsection, and
place the webbing behind the child
seat or against an unused seat -
back. Children can be strangled if
a shoulder belt becomes wrapped
around their neck and the seat
belt tightens.
NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single anchor. This
could cause the anchor or attach -
ment to come loose or break.
Always have the LATCH system
inspected by your authorized Kia
dealer after an accident. An acci -
dent can damage the LATCH sys -
tem and may not properly secure
the child restraint.
NOTICE
The recommended maximum
weight for the LATCH system is 65
lbs. (30 kg). When selecting a proper
child restraint, consider that the
maximum total weight of the child
plus the child restraint should be
less than 65 lbs. (30 kg).
As a guide, the MAX child restraint
weight should be determined by the
following calculation:
Child Restraint Weight = 65 - (child's
total weight in lbs.)
