Kia Rio: Child Restraint System (CRS) / Using a child restraint system

Rear- facing child restraint system

Forward-facing child restraint system
For small children and babies, the use of a child seat or infant seat is required.
This child seat or infant seat should be of appropriate size for the child and should
be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
For safety reasons, we recommend that the child restraint system be used in the
rear seats.
Since all passenger seat belts move freely under normal conditions and only lock
under extreme or emergency conditions (emergency lock mode), you must manually change
these seat belts to the auto lock mode to secure a child restraint.
If the seat belt does not operate as described in this section, have the system
checked immediately by your authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING - Unattended Children
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle. The vehicle can heat up very
quickly, resulting in injuries and possibly even death of the child in the vehicle.
WARNING - Child seat installation

manufacturer. Child restraint system manufacturers know their products best.

system and the instructions provided with the child restraint system could result
in the improper installation of the child restraint system which may reduce
the protection to your child in a crash or a sudden stop.
