Fuel requirements

Introduction

Fuel requirements

Your new vehicle is designed to use only unleaded fuel having a pump octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. (Do not use methanol blended fuels.)

Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL, as well as minimize exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling.

Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been specified. (Consult an authorized Kia dealer for details.) 䳜 Tighten the cap until it clicks one

time, otherwise the Check Engine

light will illuminate.

Refueling

䳜 Do not "top off" after the nozzle

automatically shuts off. Attempts to force more fuel into the tank can cause fuel overflow onto you and the ground, causing a risk of fire.

䳜 Always check that the fuel cap is

installed securely to prevent fuel spillage, especially in the event of an accident.

Gasoline containing alcohol and methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (also known as grain alco hol), and gasoline or gasohol con

taining methanol (also known as wood alcohol) are being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded gasoline.

Pursuant to Environmental Protec

tion Agency (EPA) regulations, etha nol may be used in your vehicle.

Do not use gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol, and do not use gasoline or gasohol containing any methanol. Ethanol provides less energy than gasoline and attracts water. Thus, it is likely to reduce your fuel efficiency and could lower your MPG results.

Methanol may cause drivability problems and damage to the fuel system, engine control system and emission control system.

Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur.

Vehicle damage or drivability prob

lems may not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty if they result from the use of:

1. Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.

2. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

3. Gasohol containing more than 15% ethanol.

Page 11

Introduction Fuel requirements

NOTICE

"E85" fuel is an alternative fuel comprised of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, and is manufactured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. "E85" is not compatible with your vehicle. Use of "E85" may result in poor engine performance and damage to your vehicle's engine and fuel system. Kia recommends that customers do not use fuel with an ethanol content exceeding 15%.

Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the fuel system or any performance prob

lems caused by the use of "E85" fuel.

Never use any fuel containing meth anol. Discontinue use of any metha nol containing products which may inhibit proper drivability.

Other fuels

Using fuels that contain Silicone (Si), MMT (Manganese, Mn), Ferrocene (Fe), and Other metalic additives, may cause vehicle and engine dam

age or cause misfiring, poor acceler ation, engine stalling, catalyst melting, clogging, abnormal corro

sion, life cycle reduction, etc.

Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate.

Damage to the fuel system or per formance problems caused by the use of these other fuels may not be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains harmful manganese- based fuel additives Such as MMT (Methylcyclopentadie nyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). Kia does not recommend the use of gasoline containing MMT. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle perfor mance and affect your emission control system. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the cluster

may come on.

Do not use methanol

Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be used in your vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage components of the fuel system, engine control system and emission control system.

Page 12

Introduction

Fuel requirements

Fuel Additives

Kia recommends that you use good quality gasolines treated with detergent additives such as TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, which help prevent deposit formation in the engine. These gasolines will help the engine run cleaner and enhance performance of the emission control system.

For more information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please go to the website (www.toptiergas.com) For customers who do not use TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline regularly, and have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, addi

tives that you can buy separately may be added to the gasoline.

If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive should be added to the fuel tank at every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or every engine oil change is recom

mended. Additives are available from your authorized Kia dealer along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other addi

tives.

Operation in foreign countries

If you are going to drive your vehicle in another country, be sure to: 䳜 Observe all regulations regarding

registration and insurance.

䳜 Determine that acceptable fuel is

available.

Page 13

Introduction Vehicle modifications

Vehicle modifications

This vehicle should not be modified.

Modification of your vehicle could affect its performance, safety or durability and may even violate gov ernmental safety and emissions regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from any modification may not be covered under warranty. 䳜 If you use unauthorized electronic

devices, it may cause the vehicle to operate abnormally, wire damage, battery discharge and fire.

For your safety, do not use unau thorized electronic devices.

Vehicle break-in process

No special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precau tions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to the perfor

mance, economy and life of your vehicle.

䳜 Do not race the engine. 䳜 While driving, keep your engine

speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.

䳜 Do not maintain a single engine

speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speeds is needed to prop erly break-in the engine.

䳜 Avoid hard stops, except in emer

gencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.

䳜 Don't tow a trailer during the first

1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera tion.

Introduction

Vehicle data collection and Event Data Recorders

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obsta cle, data that will assist in under standing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record data, such as: 䳜 How various systems in your

vehicle were operating;

䳜 Whether or not the driver and

passenger safety belts were buckled/ fastened;

䳜 How far (if at all) the driver was

depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,

䳜 How fast the vehicle was travel

ing.

These data can help provide a bet ter understanding of the circum stances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle, only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and

no personal data (e.g., name, gen der, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data rou tinely acquired during a crash inves tigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Safety features of your vehicle Important safety precautions

Safety features of your vehicle

For the safety of the driver and vehicle passengers, you should become familiar with the vehicle's safety features.

Important safety precautions

You will find many safety precau tions and recommendations throughout this section, and throughout this manual.

The safety precautions in this sec tion are among the most important.

Always wear your seat belt

A seat belt is your best protection in all types of accidents. Air bags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make sure you and your passengers wear your seat belts, and wear them properly.

Air bag hazards

While air bags can save lives, they can also cause serious or fatal inju

ries to occupants who sit too close to them, or who are not properly restrained. Infants, young children, and shorter adults are at the great est risk of being injured by an inflat ing air bag. Follow all instructions and warnings in this manual.

Driver distraction

Driver distraction presents a serious and potentially deadly danger, espe cially for inexperienced drivers. Safety should be the first concern when behind the wheel and drivers need to be aware of the wide array of potential distractions, such as drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating, personal grooming, other passengers, and using cellular phones.

Restrain all children

All children under age 13 should ride in your vehicle properly restrained in a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and small children should be restrained in an appropriate child restraint. Larger children should use a booster seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they can use the seat belt properly without a booster seat.

Drivers can become distracted when they take their eyes and attention off the road or their hands off the wheel to focus on activities other than driving. To reduce your risk of distraction or getting into an acci

dent: 䳜 ALWAYS set up your mobile

devices (i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation units, etc.) when your vehicle is parked or safely stopped.

Page 26

Safety features of your vehicle

䳜 ONLY use your mobile device

when allowed by laws and when conditions permit safe use. NEVER text or email while driving. Most states have laws prohibiting drivers from texting. Some states and cities also prohibit drivers from using handheld phones.

䳜 NEVER let the use of a mobile

device distract you from driving. You have a responsibility to your passengers and others on the road to always drive safely, with your hands on the wheel as well as your eyes and attention on the road.

Control your speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds. Never drive faster than is safe for current driv

ing conditions, regardless of the maximum speed posted.

Important safety precautions

Keep your vehicle in safe condition

Having a tire blowout or a mechani

cal failure can be extremely hazard ous. To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pres sures and conditions frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.

WARNING

Seat belts

Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the automatic transmission/dual clutch transmission is in P (Park) and the parking brake is securely applied whenever loading or unloading cargo. Failure to take these steps may allow the vehicle to move if the shift lever is inadvertently moved to another position.

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, chest and shoulders.

Seat belt restraint system

For maximum restraint system pro tection, the seat belts must always be used whenever the vehicle is moving. 䳜 A properly positioned shoulder

belt should be positioned midway over your shoulder, across your collarbone.

䳜 Never allow children to ride in the

front passenger seat. See "Child Restraint System (CRS)" on page 3-30 for further discussion.

Twisted seat belt

Make sure your seat belt is not twisted when worn. A twisted seat belt may not properly protect you in an accident and could even cut into your body.

Shoulder Belt

䳜 Never wear the shoulder belt

under your arm or behind your back. An improperly positioned shoulder belt cannot protect the occupant in the event of a crash.

183

Page 41

Safety features of your vehicle Seat belts

WARNING

䳜 Always wear both the shoulder

portion and lap portion of the lap/ shoulder belt.

Damaged seat belt

Any damage in webbing or hardware may lead to serious injury or death in a crash. For your safety, replace the entire seat belt assembly when any part of the webbing or hard

ware is damaged.

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap sec tion of the belt across the abdomi

nal area must be avoided.

Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed.

䳜 No modifications or additions

should be made by the user which would either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

䳜 When you fasten the seat belt, be

careful not to latch the seat belt in buckles of other seats. It is very dangerous and you may not be protected by the seat belt prop

erly.

䳜 Do not unfasten the seat belt and

do not fasten and unfasten the seat belt repeatedly while driving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident causing death, serious injury, or property dam

age.

䳜 When fastening the seat belt,

make sure that the seat belt does not pass over objects that are hard or can break easily.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.

Care should be taken to avoid con tamination of the webbing with pol ishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

Seat belt buckle

Do not allow foreign material (gum, crumbs, coins, liquids, etc.) to

obstruct the seat belt buckle. This

Seat belts - Front passenger and rear seat 3-point system with combination locking retractor

The following explains how to fas

ten the passenger's and rear seat belts.

Fastening your seat belt:

Combination retractor type seat belts are installed in the rear seat positions to help accommodate the installation of Child Restraint Sys

tem. Although a combination

retractor is also installed in the front passenger seat position, it is strongly recommended that children always be seated in the rear seat. NEVER place any infant restraint system in the front seat of the vehicle.

This type of seat belt combines the

features of both an emergency locking retractor seat belt and an automatic locking retractor seat belts. 䳜 Pull it out of the retractor and

insert the metal tab into the buckle. There will be an audible "click" when the tab locks into the buckle. When not securing a child restraint, the seat belt operates in the same way as the driver's seat belt (emergency locking retractor type).

It automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt portion of the seat belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly around your hips.

When the seat belt is fully extended from the retractor to allow the installation of a Child Restraint Sys tem, the seat belt operation changes to allow the belt to retract, but not to extend (automatic locking retractor type). Refer to "Securing a child restraint with a lap/shoulder belt" on page 3-38.

NOTICE

CAUTION

WARNING

ODL3A030033

Although the combination retractor provides the same level of protec

The automatic locking function is intended to facilitate child restraint installation. To convert from the automatic locking feature to the emergency locking operation mode, allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully retract.

Do NOT fold down the left portion of the rear seatback when the rear center seat belt is buckled. ALWAYS UNBUCKLE the rear center seat belt before folding down the left portion of the rear seatback. If the rear cen

ter seat belt is buckled when the left portion of the rear seatback is folded down, distortion and damage to the top portion of the seatback and seat belt garnish may result, causing the seatback to lock into the folded down position.

Seat belts

The seat belt should be locked into the buckle on each seat cushion to be properly fastened.

1. Rear right seat belt fastening buckle

2. Rear center seat belt fastening buckle

3. Rear left seat belt fastening buckle

Prior to fastening the rear seat belts, ensure the latch matches the seat belt buckle. Forcefully fasten

NOTICE

WARNING

Small children are best protected from injury in an accident when properly restrained in the rear seat by a Child Restraint System that meets the requirements of the Fed eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Before buying any Child Restraint System, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan

dard 213. The restraint must be appropriate for your child's height and weight. Check the label on the child restraint for this information. Refer to "Child Restraint System (CRS)" on page 3-30.

Larger children

Children who are too large for Child Restraint System should always occupy the rear seat and use the available lap/shoulder belts. The lap portion should be fastened and snug on the hips as low as possible. Check periodically to insure that the belt fits. A child's squirming could put the belt out of position. Children are given the most safety in the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat. If a larger child (over age 13) must be seated in the front seat, the child should be securely restrained by the available lap/shoulder belt and the seat

should be placed in the rearmost position. Children age 13 and under should be restrained securely in the rear seat. NEVER place a child age 13 and under in the front seat. NEVER place a rear facing child seat

in the front seat of a vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touches the child's neck or face, try placing the child closer to the center of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still touches their face or neck they need to be returned to a Child Restraint System.

Small children

Do not allow small children to ride in the vehicle without an appropriate Child Restraint System. If the shoul der belt comes in contact with your child's neck or face, your child is too small to ride in the vehicle. In a crash, the seat belt will inflict injury to your child's neck, throat and face.

Restraint of pregnant women

Pregnant women should wear lap/ shoulder belt assemblies whenever possible according to specific rec ommendations by their doctors. The lap portion of the belt should be worn AS SECURELY AND LOW AS POSSIBLE.

Child Restraint System (CRS)

Infants and younger children must be restrained in an appropriate rear-facing or forward-facing Child Restraint System (CRS) that has first been properly secured to the rear seat of the vehicle.

Children always in the rear

Children under age 13 must 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.

Restraint Location

Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat. A child riding in the front passenger seat can be forcefully struck by an inflat ing airbag and get seriously injured.

Hot Child Restraint

A Child Restraint System can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle on a sunny day. Be sure to check the seat cover, buckles and latches before placing a child in the restraint system.

Safety features of your vehicle Child Restraint System (CRS)

According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat. Even with air bags, children can be seriously injured or killed. Children too large for a child restraint must use the seat belts provided.

All 50 states have child restraint laws which require children to travel in approved child restraint devices. The laws governing the age or height/weight restrictions at which seat belts can be used instead of child restraints differs among states, so you should be aware of the specific requirements in your state, and where you are traveling.

The CRS must be properly placed and installed in the rear seat. You must use a commercially available CRS that meets the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

A CRS is generally designed to be secured in a vehicle seat by lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a LATCH system in the rear seats of the vehicle.

Child Restraint System (CRS)

Infants and younger children must be restrained in an appropriate rear-facing or forward-facing CRS that has first been properly secured to the rear seat of the vehicle. Read

and comply with the instructions for

installation and use provided by the

manufacturer of the CRS.

Child Restraint Installation

An improperly secured child

restraint can increase the risk of

serious injury or death in an acci

dent. Always take the following pre

cautions when using a Child

Restraint System:

䳜 Always follow the Child Restraint

System manufacturer's instruc

tions for installation and use.

䳜 Always properly restrain your

child in the child restraint.

䳜 If the vehicle head restraint pre

vents proper installation of a child seat (as described in the Child Restraint System manual), the head restraint of the respective seating position shall be read

justed or entirely removed.

䳜 Do not use an infant carrier or a

child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback as it may not provide adequate protection in an accident.

䳜 A child restraint in the center

seating position may also contact or push up against the safety belt buckles, which can damage the buckles and make them unusable or unsafe. Always check that the child restraint does not contact any of the safety belt buckles. Check the placement of the child

After an accident, have a Kia dealer check the Child Restraint System, seat belts, tether anchors and lower anchors.

Selecting a CRS

When selecting a CRS for your child, always: 䳜 Make sure the CRS has a label

certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213).

䳜 Select a child restraint based on

your child's height and weight. The required label or the instruc

Holding children

Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a vehicle. The vio lent forces created during a crash will tear the child from your arms and throw the child against the car's interior. Always use a Child Restraint System which is appropriate for your child's height and weight.

Unattended children

Never leave children unattended in a vehicle. The car can heat up very quickly, resulting in injuries to the child in the vehicle.

Seat belt use

Do not use one seat belt for two occupants at the same time. This will eliminate any safety benefit provided by the seat belt to the occupants.

CRS types

There are three main types of the CRS: rear-facing seats, forwardfacing seats, and booster seats. They are classified according to the child's age, height and weight.

Backward-facing child seats

A rear-facing child seat provides restraint with the seating surface against the back of the child. The harness system holds the child in place, and in an accident, acts to keep the child positioned in the seat and reduces the stress to the neck and spinal cord. All children under age one must always ride in a rear-facing infant child restraint. Convertible and 3-in-1 child seats typically have higher height and weight limits for the rear-facing position, allowing you to keep your child rear-facing for a longer period of time. Continue to use a rear-facing child seat for as long as your child will fit within the height and weight limits

allowed by the child seat manufac

turer. It's the best way to keep

them safe. Once your child has out

grown the rear-facing child

restraint, your child is ready for a

forward-facing child restraint with a

harness.

Forward-facing child restraints

A forward-facing child seat provides

restraint for the child's body with a

harness. Keep children in a forward-

facing child seat with a harness until

they reach the top height or weight

limit allowed by your child

restraint's manufacturer.

Once your child outgrows the for

ward-facing child restraint, your

child is ready for a booster seat.

Booster seats

A booster seat is a restraint

designed to improve the fit of the

vehicle's seat belt system. A booster

seat positions the seat belt so that

it fits properly over the lap of your

child.

the seat without a booster and still have the seat belt fit properly. For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap belt must lie snugly across the upper thighs, not the stomach. The shoul

der belt should lie snug across the shoulder and chest and not across the neck or face. Children under age 13 must always ride in the rear seats and must always be properly restrained to minimize the risk of injury.

Installing a CRS

After selecting a proper child seat for your child, check to make sure it fits properly in your vehicle.

Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing the child seat. Note these general steps when installing the seat to your vehicle:

䳜 Properly secure the child restraint

to the vehicle. All child restraints

must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt or with the LATCH system.

䳜 Make sure the child restraint is

firmly secured. After installing a

child restraint to the vehicle, push and pull the seat forward and from side-to-side to verify that it is securely attached to the seat. A child restraint secured with a seat belt should be installed as firmly as possible. However, some sideto-side movement can be expected.

䳜 Secure the child in the child

restraint. Make sure the child is

properly strapped in the child restraint according to the manu

facturer instructions.

Lower Anchors and Tether for Chil dren (LATCH) system

The LATCH system holds a child restraint during driving and in an accident. This system is designed to make installation of the child restraint easier and reduce the pos sibility of improperly installing your child restraint. The LATCH system uses anchors in the vehicle and attachments on the child restraint. The LATCH system eliminates the need to use seat belts to secure the child restraint to the rear seats.

Lower anchors are metal bars built into the vehicle. There are two lower anchors for each LATCH seating position that will accommodate a child restraint with lower attach

ments.

To use the LATCH system in your vehicle, you must have a child restraint with LATCH attachments.

The child seat manufacturer will provide you with instructions on how to use the child seat with its attachments for the LATCH lower anchors.

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,

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.

Take the following precautions when using the LATCH system:

䳜 Read and follow all installation

instructions provided with your Child Restraint System.

䳜 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 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.

䳜 NEVER attach more than one child

restraint to a single anchor. This could cause the anchor or attach ment to come loose or break.

䳜 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.

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.)

WARNING

ODL3A030038

First secure the child restraint with the LATCH lower anchors or the seat belt. If the child restraint man

ufacturer recommends that the top tether strap be attached, attach and tighten the top tether strap to the top tether strap anchor.

Child Restraint hook holders are located on the package tray.

Take the following precautions when installing the tether strap:

䳜 Read and follow all installation

instructions provided with your Child Restraint System.

䳜 NEVER attach more than one child

restraint to a single tether anchor. This could cause the anchor or attachment to come loose or break.

䳜 Do not attach the tether strap to

anything other than the correct tether anchor. It may not work properly if attached to something else.

䳜 Do not use the tether anchors for

adult seat belts or harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

䳜 Always fasten the seat belts

behind the child restraint seat when they are not used to secure the child seat. Failure to do so may result in child strangulation.

To install the tether anchor:

1. Route the Child Restraint System seat strap over the seatback. For vehicles with adjustable head rest, route the tether strap under the headrest and between the headrest posts, otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seatback.

2. Connect the top-tether to the top-tether anchorage, then tighten the top-tether according to the instructions of your Child Restraint System's manufacturer to firmly attach the Child Restraint System to the seat.

3. Check that the child restraint is securely attached to the seat by pushing and pulling the seat for

ward and from side-to-side.

Child Restraint System (CRS)

Securing a child restraint with a lap/shoulder belt

When not using the LATCH system, all child restraints must be secured to a vehicle rear seat with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt.

Automatic locking mode

All passenger seat belts move freely under normal conditions and only lock under extreme or emergency conditions (emergency locking mode). So, in order to secure a child restraint, you must manually pull the seat belt all the way out to shift the retractor to the "automatic locking" mode. The "automatic locking" mode will help prevent the normal movement of the child in the vehicle from caus ing the seat belt to loosen and com promise the CRS.

To install a CRS on the rear seats, do the following:

1. Place the CRS on a rear seat and route the lap/shoulder belt around or through the child

restraint, following the restraint manufacturer's instructions. Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted.

2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into the buckle. Listen for the dis tinct "click" sound. Position the release button so that it is easy to access in case of an emergency.

3. Pull the shoulder portion of the seat belt all the way out. When the shoulder portion of the seat belt is fully extended, it will shift the retractor to the "automatic locking" (child restraint) mode.

383

NOTICE

WARNING

ODL3039080

4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of the seat belt to retract and lis ten for an audible "clicking" or "ratcheting" sound. This indicates that the retractor is in the "auto

matic locking" mode. If no distinct sound is heard, repeat steps 3 and

5. Remove as much slack from the belt as possible by pushing down on the CRS while feeding the shoulder belt back into the retractor.

6. Push and pull on the CRS to con

firm that the seat belt is holding it firmly in place. If it is not, release the seat belt and repeat steps 2 through 6.

7. Double check that the retractor is in the "automatic locking" mode by attempting to pull more of the seat belt out of the retractor. If you cannot, the retractor is in the "automatic locking" mode.

If your CRS manufacturer instructs

or recommends you to use a tether anchor with the lap/shoulder belt, refer to "Securing a child restraint seat with "Tether Anchor" system (if equipped)" on page 3-36 for more information.

When the seat belt is allowed to retract to its fully stowed position, the retractor will automatically switch from the "automatic locking" mode to the emergency lock mode for normal adult usage.

Auto lock mode

Set the retractor to Automatic Lock mode when installing any Child Restraint System. If the retractor is not in the automatic locking mode, the child restraint can move when your vehicle turns or stops sud denly. A child can be seriously injured or killed if the child restraint is not properly anchored in the car.

To remove the child restraint, press the release button on the buckle and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of the restraint and allow the seat belt to retract fully.

403

Page 63

Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - Advanced Supplemental Restraint

System

How does the air bag system oper ate?

䳜 Air bags are activated (able to

inflate if necessary) only when the Engine START/STOP Button is in the ON Position or approxi

mately within 3 minutes after ignition off.

䳜 The appropriate air bags inflate

instantly in the event of a serious frontal collision or side collision in order to help protect the occu

pants from serious physical injury.

䳜 There is no single speed at which

the air bags will inflate. Generally, air bags are designed to inflate based upon the severity of a colli sion and its direction, etc. Several factors determine whether the sensors produce an electronic deployment / inflation signal.

䳜 Air bags will not deploy in every

crash or collision situations. Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors including vehi

cle speed, angles of impact, and, the density and stiffness of the vehicles or objects which your vehicle hits in the collision. The determining factors are not lim

ited to those mentioned above.

䳜 The front air bags will completely

inflate and deflate in an instant. It is virtually impossible for you to see the air bags inflate during an accident. It is much more likely that you will simply see the

deflated air bags hanging out of

their storage compartments after the collision.

䳜 In addition to inflating in serious

side collisions, side and/or curtain air bags will inflate if the sensing system detects a rollover.

䳜 When a rollover is detected, side

and/or curtain airbags will remain inflated longer. This helps provide protection from ejection, espe cially when used in conjunction with the seat belts.

䳜 In order to help provide protec

tion, the air bags must inflate rapidly. The airbag inflates extremely fast between the occupant and the vehicle struc

tures before the occupant impacts the vehicle structures. This speed of inflation reduces the risk of serious or life-threat ening injuries and is thus a neces sary part of the air bag design. However, airbag inflation can also cause injuries which can include facial abrasions, bruises and bro ken bones. This is because the rapid inflation also causes the air bags to expand with a great deal of force.

䳜 There are even circumstances

under which contact with the steering wheel or passenger air bag can cause fatal injuries, espe cially if the occupant is positioned excessively close to the steering wheel or passenger air bag.

System

Airbag inflation

Sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still maintain ing comfortable control of the vehi

cle. A distance of at least 10 in (25 cm) from your chest to the steering wheel is recommended. Failure to do so can result in airbag inflation inju

ries to the driver.

Noise and smoke

When inflated, the air bags make a loud noise and leave smoke and powder in the air inside the vehicle. This is normal and is a result of the ignition of the air bag inflator. After the air bag inflates, you may feel substantial discomfort in breathing due to the contact of your chest with both the seat belt and the air bag, as well as from breathing the smoke and powder. Open your doors

and/or windows as soon as possible after impact in order to reduce dis

comfort and prevent prolonged exposure to the smoke and powder.

Hot components

Do not touch the air bag storage area's internal components immedi ately after airbag inflation. The air bag related parts in the steering wheel, instrument panel and the roof rails above the front and rear doors are very hot. Hot components can result in burn injuries.

Do not install or place any accesso

ries near air bag deployment areas, such as the instrument panel, win

dows, pillars, and roof rails.

Do not install a child restraint on the front passenger's seat

Though smoke and powder are non toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc). If this is the case, wash and rinse with cold water immediately and consult a doctor if the symptom persists.

Air bag deployment

When children are seated in the rear outboard seats of a vehicle equipped with side and/or curtain air bags, install the Child Restraint System as far away from the door side as pos

Driver's front air bag (2)

Driver's front air bag (3)

A fully inflated air bag, in combina

After complete inflation, the air bag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain for

ward visibility and the ability to steer or operate other controls.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the air bags. Fur

ther opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the air bags.

Air bag - Advanced Supplemental Restraint

System

the passenger's front airbag will inflate in frontal impact crashes even if there is no occupant in the front passenger seat.

Driver's and passenger's front air bag

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced supplemental restraint (air bag) system and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and passen ger seating position.

Driver's front air bag

Passenger's front air bag

The indication of the system's pres ence are the letters "AIR BAG" located on the air bag pad cover on the steering wheel and the passen ger's side front panel pad above the glove box.

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) consists of air bags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and the pas senger's side front panel above the glove box.

Driver's knee air bag

543

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the vehicle's driver and/or the front passenger with additional protec

tion than that offered by the seat belt system alone in case of a fron

tal impact of sufficient severity. The SRS uses sensors to gather infor

mation about the driver's and front passenger's seat belt usage and impact severity.

The seat belt buckle sensor deter

mines if the front passenger's seat belt is fastened.

Page 77

Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - Advanced Supplemental Restraint

WARNING

System

These sensors provide the ability to control the SRS deployment based on whether or not the seat belts are fastened, and how severe the impact is.

The advanced SRS offers the ability to control the air bag inflation with two levels. A first stage level is pro

vided for moderate-severity impacts. A second stage level is pro vided for more severe impacts.

According to the impact severity and seat belt usage, the SRS Control Module (SRSCM) controls the air bag inflation. Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident.

Additionally, your vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Detection System (ODS) in the front passenger's seat. The ODS detects the presence of a passenger in the front passenger's seat and will turn off the front pas

senger's air bag under certain condi tions. For more detail, see "Occupant Detection System (ODS)" on page 3-

47.

Modification to the seat structure can cause the air bag to deploy at a different level than should be pro

vided.

Manufacturers are required by gov ernment regulations to provide a contact point concerning modifica tions to the vehicle for persons with disabilities, which modifications may affect the vehicle's advanced air bag system. That contact is Kia's tollfree Customer Assistance center at 1-800-333-4Kia. However, Kia does not endorse nor will it support any

changes to any part or structure of the vehicle that could affect the advanced air bag system, including the ODS.

Replacement/modifications

The front passenger seat, dash board or door should not be replaced except by an authorized Kia dealer using original Kia parts designed for this vehicle and model. Any other such replacement or modification could adversely affect the operation

of the Occupant Detection System and your advanced air bags.

Advanced air bags are combined with pre-tensioner seat belts to help provide enhanced occupant protection in frontal crashes. Front air bags are not intended to deploy in collisions in which sufficient pro tection can be provided by the seat belt.

Side and/or curtain air bags

* The actual air bags in the vehicle

may differ from the illustration. Side and/or curtain air bags are designed to inflate when an impact is detected by side collision sensors depending on several factors, including the severity of impact resulting from a side impact colli

sion. Also, the side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate when a roll

over is detected by a rollover sensor. Although the front air bags (driver's and front passenger's air bags) are primarily designed to inflate in fron tal collisions, they may inflate in other types of collisions if the front

impact sensors detect a sufficient frontal force in another type of impact. Similarly, although side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate in certain side impact collisions, they may inflate in other types of colli sions where a side force is detected by the sensors. For instance, side air bag and/or curtain air bags may inflate if rollover sensors indicate the possibility of a rollover occurring (even if none actually occurs) or in other situations, including when the vehicle is tilted while being towed. Even if side and/or curtain air bags do not provide impact protection in a rollover, they will deploy to pre vent ejection of occupants, espe cially those who are restrained with seat belts. If the vehicle chassis is impacted by bumps or objects on unimproved roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully on unimproved roads or on surfaces not designed for vehicle traffic to prevent unintended air bag deployment.

full force of the impact is not delivered to the sensors.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) care

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is virtually maintenance-free and so there are no parts you can

safely service by yourself.

If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate, or continuously remains on, have your vehicle immediately inspected by an autho rized Kia dealer.

䳜 Airbags may not inflate if the

vehicle collides with an object such as a utility pole or tree. This is because the point of impact is

Any work on the SRS, such as removing, installing, repairing, or any work on the steering wheel, the front passenger's panel, front seats and roof rails must be performed by an authorized Kia dealer. Improper handling of the SRS may result in serious personal injury.

For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with

Page 87

Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - Advanced Supplemental Restraint

WARNING

System

plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the air bag covers and proper deployment of the system.

If components of the air bag system must be discarded, or if the vehicle must be scrapped, certain safety precautions must be observed. An authorized Kia dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary information. Failure to follow these precautions and proce dures could increase the risk of bodily injury.

Tampering with SRS

Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in the accidental inflation of the air bag or render the SRS inop

erative.

Towing vehicle

Always have the ignition off when your vehicle is being towed. The side air bags may inflate if the vehicle is tilted such as when being towed because of the rollover sensors in the vehicle.

Additional safety precautions 䳜 Never let passengers ride in the

cargo area or on top of a foldeddown back seat. All occupants

should sit upright, fully back in their seats with their seat belts on and their feet on the floor.

䳜 Passengers should not move out

of or change seats while the vehi cle is moving. A passenger who is

not wearing a seat belt during a

crash or emergency stop can be thrown against the inside of the vehicle, against other occupants, or out of the vehicle.

䳜 Each seat belt is designed to

restrain one occupant. If more

than one person uses the same seat belt, they could be seriously injured or killed in a collision.

䳜 Do not use any accessories on

seat belts. Devices claiming to

improve occupant comfort or reposition the seat belt can reduce the protection provided by the seat belt and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

䳜 Passengers should not place hard

or sharp objects between them selves and the air bags. Carrying

hard or sharp objects on your lap or in your mouth can result in injuries if an air bag inflates.

Page 88

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING

䳜 Keep occupants away from the

air bag covers. All occupants

should sit upright, fully back in their seats with their seat belts on and their feet on the floor. If occupants are too close to the air bag covers, they could be injured if the air bags inflate.

䳜 Do not attach or place objects on

or near the air bag covers. Any

object attached to or placed on the front or side air bag covers could interfere with the proper operation of the air bags.

䳜 Do not modify the front seats.

Modification of the front seats could interfere with the opera

tion of the supplemental restraint system sensing components or side air bags.

䳜 Do not place items under the

front seats. Placing items under

the front seats could interfere with the operation of the supple

mental restraint system sensing components and wiring har

nesses.

䳜 Never hold an infant or child on

your lap. The infant or child could

be seriously injured or killed in the event of a crash. All infants and children should be properly restrained in appropriate child safety seats or seat belts in the rear seat.
