Kia Carens: Child restraint system / Using a child restraint system

For small children and babies, the use of a child restraint system is required. The child restraint system should be of appropriate size for the child and should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

For safety reasons, we recommend the child restraint system to be used in the rear seats.

WARNING

Never place a rearward facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat, unless the passenger frontal airbag is deactivated. An inflating passenger frontal airbag could impact the rearward facing child restraint system and kill the child.

WARNING

Always remove floor under tray cover when using a child restraint seat with support leg on second row outboard seating position.

Support leg should have to contact stably on the vehicle floor.

WARNING

• A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child restraint system is not properly anchored to the vehicle and the child is not properly restrained in the child restraint system. Before installing the child restraint system, read the instructions supplied by the child restraint system manufacturer.
• If the seat belt does not operate as described in this section, we recommend the system to be checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
• Failure in observing this manual's instructions regarding child restraint systems and the instructions provided with the child restraint system could increase the chance and/or severity of injury in an accident.
• Temporarily re-adjust or remove any headrest interfering with the proper installation of child restraint system. Make sure to put any removed headrests back into position for adult occupants.
