Child restraint system (CRS)
䳜 Seat belts can become hot in a
vehicle that has been closed up in
sunny weather.
They could burn infants and chil
dren.
Periodic inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts
be inspected periodically for wear or
damage of any kind. Any damaged
parts should be replaced as soon as
possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can
be cleaned by using a mild soap
solution and warm water. Bleach,
dye, strong detergents or abrasives
should not be used because they
may damage and weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an acci
dent. This should be done even if no
damage is visible. In this case, have
the system replaced by a profes
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
consult an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
Child restraint system (CRS)
Our recommendation: Children
always in the rear
Always properly restrain children in
the vehicle. Children of all ages are
safer when riding in the rear seats.
Never place a rearward-facing Child
Restraint System on the front pas
senger seat, unless the air bag is
deactivated.
Children under age 13 should always
ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an
accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Children too large for
a Child Restraint System must use
the seat belts provided.
Most countries have regulations
which require children to travel in
approved Child Restraint Systems.
The laws governing the age or
height/weight restrictions at which
seat belts can be used instead of
Child Restraint System differs
among countries, so you should be
aware of the specific requirements
in your country, and where you are
travelling.
