WARNING - Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the operation
of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.
✽ NOTICE
If you have a collision accident, the front
seat may be damaged.
In this case we recommend that you
have a seat system checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING - Driver responsibility
for front seat passenger
Riding in a vehicle with a front seatback
reclined could lead to serious
or fatal injury in an accident. If a
front seat is reclined during an
accident, the occupant’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of the
seat belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result.
The driver must advise the front
passenger to keep the seatback in
an upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that
reduces friction between the seat
and passenger. The passenger's
hips may slide under the lap portion
of the seat belt during an accident
or a sudden stop. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result
because the seat belt can't operate
normally.
WARNING - Driver’s seat
- Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property damage.
- Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
- Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap portion
of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case of
an accident.
- In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
while maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle. It is recommended
that your chest is at least
250 mm (10 inches) away from
the steering wheel.
WARNING - Rear seatbacks
- The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, passengers
and objects could be thrown
forward resulting in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.
- Luggage and other cargo should
be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop, collision or rollover.
- No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly while riding.
- When resetting the seatback to
the upright position, make sure it
is securely latched by pushing it
forward and backwards.
- To avoid the possibility of burns,
do not remove the carpet in the
cargo area. Emission control
devices beneath this floor generate
high temperatures.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked into
place by attempting to move the
seat forward or backward without
using the lock release lever.
Sudden or unexpected movement
of the driver's seat could cause you
to lose control of the vehicle resulting
in an accident.
WARNING
- Use extreme caution so that
hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
- Do not put a cigarette lighter on
the floor or seat. When you operate
the seat, gas may gush out of
the lighter and cause fire.
- Use extreme caution when picking
small objects trapped under the
seats or between the seat and the
center console. Your hands might
be cut or injured by the sharp
edges of the seat mechanism.
Feature of Seat Leather
- Leather is made from the outer skin of
an animal, which goes through a special
process to be available for use.
Since it is a natural substance, each
part differs in thickness or density.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural
result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature and
humidity.
- The seat is made of stretchable fabric
to improve comfort.
- The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting area is
high which provides driving comfort
and stability.
- Wrinkles may appear naturally from
usage. It is not a fault of the product.
CAUTION
- Wrinkles or abrasions which
appear naturally from usage are
not covered by warranty.
- Belts with metallic accessories,
zippers or keys inside the back
pocket may damage the seat fabric.
- Make sure not to wet the seat. It
may change the nature of natural
leather.
- Jeans or clothes which could
bleach may contaminate the surface
of the seat covering fabric.
