Seat warmer

The seat warmer is provided to warm
the seats during cold weather. With
the engine start/stop button in the
ON position, push the switch to warm
the seat.
During mild weather or under condi-
tions where the operation of the seat
warmer is not needed, keep the
switches in the OFF position.
With the seat warmer switch in the
ON position, the heating system in
the seat turns off or on automatically
depending on the seat temperature.
• Each time you push the button, the

temperature setting of the seat is
changed as follows :

• When pressing the switch for more

than 1.5 seconds with the seat
warmer operating, the seat warmer
will turn OFF.

• The seat warmer defaults to the

OFF position whenever the engine
start/stop button is turned on.

• You can activate or deactivate the

rear seat warmer button by using
the REAR LOCK button on the rear
armrest or “System Settings” in
AVN (Audio, Video, and Navigation).
Detailed information for “System
Settings” is described in a separate-
ly supplied manual. If the REAR
LOCK button activated (LED “ON”),
you can not activate the rear seat
warmer button.
After deactivating (LED “OFF”) the
REAR LOCK button, you can acti-
vate the rear seat warmer button.
If the REAR LOCK button has acti-
vated through AVN, you can deac-
tivate the REAR LOCK button only
through AVN.

Seat damage

• When cleaning the seats, do

not use an organic solvent
such as paint thinner, ben-
zene, alcohol and gasoline.
Doing so may damage the
surface of the heater or seats.

• To prevent overheating the

seat warmer, do not place any-
thing on the seats that insu-
lates against heat, such as
blankets, cushions or seat
covers on the seats while the
seat warmer is in operation.

• Do not place heavy or sharp

objects on the seat. Those
things may damage the seat
warmer system.

CAUTION

Seat warmer burns

The seat warmer may cause
burns, even at low tempera-
tures, if used over a long period
of time. Never allow passen-
gers who may not be able to
take care of themselves to be
exposed to the risk of seat
heater burns. These include:
1. Infants, children, elderly or

disabled persons, or hospital
outpatients

2. Persons with sensitive skin

or those that burn easily

3. Fatigued individuals
4. Intoxicated individuals
5. Individuals taking medica-

tion that can cause drowsi-
ness or sleepiness (sleeping
pills, cold tablets, etc.)

When the operation of the air ventila-
tion is not needed, keep the switches
in the OFF position.
• Each time you press the switch,

the airflow will change as follows:

• When pressing the switch for more

than 1.5 seconds with the seat
cooler operating, the seat cooler
will turn OFF.

• When the air ventilation seat is

turned on, the seat may get cooler
after about 5 minutes.

• Because the air ventilation uses

the air in the vehicle, cooling effi-
ciency depends on the tempera-
ture of the air. In order to improve
cooling efficiency, use the air con-
ditioning system together.

• The air ventilation seat defaults to

the OFF position whenever the
Engine Start/Stop Button is turned
to the ON position.

• You can activate or deactivate the

rear air ventilation button by using
the REAR LOCK button on the rear
armrest or “System Settings” in
AVN (Audio, Video, and
Navigation). Detailed information
for “System Settings” is described
in a separately supplied manual. If
the REAR LOCK button activated
(LED “ON”), you can not activate
the rear air ventilation button.
After deactivating (LED “OFF”) the
REAR LOCK button, you can acti-
vate the rear air ventilation button.
If the REAR LOCK button has acti-
vated through AVN, you can deacti-
vate the REAR LOCK button only
through AVN.

• The air ventilation seat is a supple-

mentary cooling/heating system.
Use the air ventilation seat when
the climate control system is on.
Using the air ventilation seat for
prolonged periods of time with the
climate control system off could
cause the air ventilation seat per-
formance to impair.

• Do not place materials such as

plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. The air vent may not
work properly as the air intake can
be blocked.

✽

NOTICE

When the air vent does not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized K900 Kia dealer.

surface of the front seats and
seatbacks, or the air vent
holes may be blocked and
prevented from working prop-
erly.

✽

NOTICE -

Air intake

There is an air intake for the rear air
ventilation at the lower part of the
rear center seatback. If the air
intake is blocked, efficiency of the
rear air ventilation will be lower. Be
careful not to block the air intake.

Clock

Whenever the battery terminals or
related fuses are disconnected, you
must reset the time.

You can set the clock by using the
AVN (Audio or Navigation)
For the details, refer to the AVN man-
ual.

Clothes hanger (if equipped)

To use the hanger, pull down the
upper portion of hanger.

Floor mat anchor(s)

When using a floor mat on the floor
carpet, make sure it attaches to the
floor mat anchor(s) in your vehicle.
This keeps the floor mat from sliding
forward.

Hanging clothing

Do not hang heavy clothes, since
those may damage the hook.

CAUTION

Do not hang other objects such
as hangers or hard objects
except clothes. Also, do not put
heavy, sharp or breakable
objects in the clothe pockets. In
an accident or when the curtain
air bag is inflated, it may cause
vehicle damage or personal
injury.

WARNING

KH USA 4:2018 4/18/2017 6:04 PM Page 175

Features of your vehicle

The following must be observed
when installing ANY floor mat in the
vehicle.
• Ensure that the floor mats are

securely attached to the vehicle's
floor mat anchor(s) before driving
the vehicle.

• Do not use ANY floor mat that can-

not be firmly attached to the vehi-
cle's floor mat anchors.

• Do not stack floor mats on top of

one another (e.g. ,all-weather rub-
ber mat on top of a carpeted floor
mat). Only a single floor mat should
be installed in each position.

IMPORTANT - Your vehicle was
manufactured with driver's side floor
mat anchors that are designed to
securely hold the floor mat in place.
To avoid any interference with pedal
operation, Kia recommends that only
the Kia floor mat designed for use in
your vehicle be installed.

Rear vanity mirror (if equipped)

To use the rear vanity mirror, press
the cover and it will slowly open and
the mirror lamp will turn on.

OKH043289N

Close the mirror cover securely.
If the mirror cover is not closed,
the lamp will stay on and could
result in battery discharge and
possible mirror damage.

CAUTION

Secured Floor Mats

The floor mat must be properly
anchored so that it will not
interfere with the operation of
the accelerator pedal. Any inter-
ference with the accelerator
pedal could cause the accelera-
tor pedal to be unable to return
to the idle position. A pedal that
cannot return to the idle posi-
tion could lead to an accident
which may result in severe per-
sonal injury or death.
