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 occu -

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. Other -
wise 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.
CAUTION
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. Visit an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
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) posi -
tion, 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.
