Vehicle safety controls
Operation
僅 Pull the 3rd row seat folding straps to fully fold them.
僅 When returning to the original position, pull the 3rd row seat folding strap and
straighten the backrest. After adjusting the seatback to the desired angle, release the
strap to secure it.
Unfold the folded headrest and return it to its original position, and gently rock the seat
back and forth to confirm that the seatback is securely fixed before use.
WARNING
僅 Always operate with the vehicle stationary when folding or unfolding the seat. Do not
adjust the seat while driving.
僅 Be careful not to get your hands or feet caught when operating the seat.
僅 Check the occupants of the 3rd row seats and fold the seats. Do not fold the seats if
there are pets, luggage or people in the 3rd row seats, or while passengers are getting
off. The seat may suddenly move and cause injury.
僅 It is very dangerous to have an occupant in the cargo space with the rear seat folded
down.
僅 When loading cargo, do not load it above the front seat height, and secure movable
cargo to prevent it from being pushed forward. Otherwise vehicle occupants may be
injured by the cargo.
僅 When driving with the seatback folded, secure the cargo securely so that it does not
move. Accidents may occur due to objects moving when starting or braking suddenly.
僅 Do not remove the separate cover on the back of the 3rd row seat. If the cover is
removed, the third row seats may be damaged. If the cover is removed, Have the seats
inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends that you visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.
NOTE
僅 When the seatback folds forward, it can be used as a storage space.
僅 When loading or unloading a vehicle, put the gearshift in the P (Park) position, apply the
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), and then turn off the vehicle.
僅 Be sure to unfold the headrests when sitting in the 3rd row seat.
