Child Seat Lower Anchors - Kia Sorento 2006 Owner's Manual

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Child seat lower anchors

Some child seat manufacturers make
child restraint seats that are labeled as
ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible child
restraint seats. These seats include
two rigid or webbing mounted attach-
ments that connect to two ISOFIX
anchors at specific seating positions in
your vehicle. This type of child restraint
seat eliminates the need to use seat
belts to attach the child seat for for-
ward-facing child restraint seats.

ISOFIX anchors have been provided
in your vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors
are located in the left and right out-
board rear seating positions. Their
locations are shown in the illustration.
There is no ISOFIX anchor provided
for the center rear seating position.
The ISOFIX anchors are located
between the seatback and the seat
cushion of the rear seat left and right
outboard seating positions.
Follow the child seat manufacturer's
instructions to properly install child
restraint seats with ISOFIX or
ISOFIX-compatible attachments.
Once you have installed the ISOFIX
child restraint, assure that the seat is
properly attached to the ISOFIX 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.
