Kia Stonic (2018 year). Instruction — part 2

Removal and installation (if equipped)

To remove the headrest, raise it as far

as it can go then press the release but‐

ton (1) while pulling upward (2).

To reinstall the headrest, put the head‐

rest poles (3) into the holes while

pressing the release button (1). Then

adjust it to the appropriate height.

WARNING

Make sure the headrest locks in po‐

sition after adjusting it to properly

protect the occupants.

Folding the rear seat (if equipped)

The rear seatbacks may be folded to

facilitate carrying long items or to in‐

crease the luggage capacity of the ve‐

hicle.

WARNING

The purpose of the fold-down rear

seatbacks is to allow you to carry

longer objects than could not other‐

wise be accommodated.

Never allow passengers to sit on top

of the folded down seatback while

the car is moving as this is not a

proper seating position and no seat

belts are available for use. This could

result in serious injury or death in

case of an accident or sudden stop.

Objects carried on the folded down

seatback should not extend higher

than the top of the front seats. This

could allow cargo to slide forward

and cause injury or damage during

sudden stops.

The rear seatbacks may be folded for‐

ward to provide additional cargo space

and to provide access to the cargo area.

• To raise the seatback, lift and push it

firmly until it clicks into place.

• When you return the seatback to its

upright position, reposition the rear

safety belts so that they can be used

by rear seat passengers.

WARNING

Do not fold the rear seat, if the driv‐

er's position is not properly set ac‐

cording to the driver's physical figure

after folding the rear seat. A sudden

stop or collision may cause injury.

CAUTION

• When folding or unfolding the rear

seat, make sure to move the front

seat fully forward. If there are not

enough space to fold the rear seat,

never fold it by force. It will cause

damage to the headrest or the re‐

lated parts of the seat.

• Before using the seat belt, be sure

to remove it from the holder. If

you pull out the seat belt while it's

in the holder, it may damage the

seat belt or holder.

seat.

To fold down the rear seatback:

1. When folding the seat back, insert

the rear seat belt buckle in the

pocket between the rear seatback

and cushion then make sure both

seatbelts do not interfere with

stowed luggage and cargo. Then,

insert the seat belt into the two

holes located on both sides.

2. Set the front seatback to the up‐

right position and if necessary, slide

the front seat forward.

3. Lower the rear headrests to lowest

position.

4. Pull the lock release lever and fold

the rear seatback forward and

down firmly.

To unfold the rear seat

1. To use the rear seat, lift and pull

the seatback backward. Pull the

seatback firmly until it clicks into

place. Make sure the seatback is

locked in place. When you return

the seatback to its upright position,

always be sure it has locked into

position by pushing on the top of

the seatback.

If you can not see the red line at

the bottom of folding lever, it

means the seatback is locked com‐

pletely.

2. Return the rear seat belt to the

proper position.

3. When the seatback is completely

installed, check the seatback fold‐

ing lever again.

WARNING

n Uprighting seat

being struck by the seatback.

WARNING

After folding the rear seat, unless

the driver’s position is properly set

according to the driver’s physical fig‐

ure, do not fold the rear seat. It may

increase body injuries in a sudden

stop or collision.

WARNING

When you return the rear seatback

to its upright position after being

senger compartment, which could

result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION

n Damaging rear seat belt buck‐

les

When you fold the rear seatback, in‐

sert the buckle between the rear

seatback and cushion. Doing so can

prevent the buckle from being dam‐

aged by the rear seatback.

CAUTION

n Rear seat belts

When returning the rear seatbacks

to the upright position, remember to

return the rear shoulder belts to

their proper position.

WARNING

n Cargo

Cargo should always be secured to

prevent it from being thrown about

the vehicle in a collision and causing

injury to the vehicle occupants. Do

not place objects in the rear seats,

since they cannot be properly se‐

cured and may hit the front seat oc‐

cupants in a collision.

WARNING

n Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the au‐

tomatic transaxle is in P (Park) or

the manual transaxle is in 1st, and

the parking brake is securely applied

whenever loading or unloading cargo.

Failure to take these steps may al‐

low the vehicle to move if the shift

lever is inadvertently moved to an‐

other position.

SEAT BELTS

Seat belt restraint system

WARNING

• For maximum restraint system

protection, the seat belts must al‐

ways be used whenever the car is

moving.

• Seat belts are most effective when

seatbacks are in the upright posi‐

tion.

• Children age 12 and younger must

always be properly restrained in

the rear seat. Never allow children

to ride in the front passenger seat.

If a child over 12 must be seated in

the front seat, he/she must be

properly belted and the seat

should be moved as far back as

possible.

• Never wear the shoulder belt un‐

der your arm or behind your back.

An improperly positioned shoulder

belt can cause serious injuries in a

crash. The shoulder belt should be

positioned midway over your

shoulder across your collarbone.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Never wear a seat belt over fragile

objects. If there is a sudden stop

or impact, the seat belt can dam‐

age it.

• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.

A twisted belt can't do its job as

well. In a collision, it could even cut

into you. Be sure the belt webbing

is straight and not twisted.

• Be careful not to damage the belt

webbing or hardware. If the belt

webbing or hardware is damaged,

replace it.

WARNING

Seat belts are designed to bear upon

the bony structure of the body, and

should be worn low across the front

of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and

shoulders, as applicable; wearing the

lap section of the belt across the ab‐

dominal 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.
(Continued)

(Continued)

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 partic‐

ularly battery acid.

Cleaning may safely be carried out

using mild soap and water. The belt

should be replaced if webbing be‐

comes frayed, contaminated or

damaged.

It is essential to replace the entire

assembly after it has been worn in a

severe impact even if damage to the

assembly is not obvious. Belts should

not be worn with straps twisted.

Each belt assembly must only be

used by one occupant; it is danger‐

ous to put a belt around a child being

carried on the occupant's lap.

3-13

Safety featur

es of your v

ehicle

WARNING

• No modifications or additions

should be made by the user which

will either prevent the seat belt

adjusting devices from operating

to remove slack, or prevent the

seat belt assembly from being ad‐

justed to remove slack.

• When you fasten the seat belt, be

careful not to latch the seat belt in

buckles of other seat. It's very

dangerous and you may not be

protected by the seat belt proper‐

ly.

• 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, se‐

rious injury, or property damage.

• When fastening the seat belt,

make sure that the seat belt does

not pass over objects that are hard

or can break easily.

• Make sure there is nothing in the

buckle. The seat belt may not be

fastened securely.

You can adjust the height of the shoul‐

der belt anchor to one of the 3 posi‐

tions for maximum comfort and safety.

The height of the adjusting seat belt

should not be too close to your neck.

The shoulder portion should be adjus‐

ted so that it lies across your chest and

midway over your shoulder near the

door and not your neck.

To adjust the height of the seat belt

anchor, lower or raise the height ad‐

juster into an appropriate position.

• Verify the shoulder belt anchor is

locked into position at the appro‐

priate height. Never position the

shoulder belt across your neck or

face. Improperly positioned seat

belts can cause serious injuries in

an accident.

• Failure to replace seat belts after

an accident could leave you with

damaged seat belts that will not

provide protection in the event of

another collision leading to person‐

al injury or death. Replace your

seat belts after being in an acci‐

dent as soon as possible.

To fasten your seat belt:

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of

the retractor and insert the metal tab

(1) into the buckle (2). There will be an

audible "click" when the tab locks into

the buckle.

The seat belt automatically adjusts to

the proper length only after the lap

belt portion is adjusted manually so

that it fits snugly around your hips. If

you lean forward in a slow, easy mo‐

tion, the belt will extend and let you

move around. If there is a sudden stop

or impact, however, the belt will lock in‐

to position. It will also lock if you try to

lean forward too quickly.

WARNING

The center lap belt latching mecha‐

nism is different from those for the

rear seat shoulder belts. When fas‐

tening the rear seat shoulder belts

or the center lap belt, make sure

they are inserted into the correct

buckles to obtain maximum protec‐

tion from the seat belt system and

assure proper operation.

Stowing the rear seat belt

The rear seat belt buckles can be stow‐

ed in the pocket between the rear

seatback and cushion when not in use.

Pre-tensioner seat belt (if

equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with pre-ten‐

sioner seatbelts at the front and rear

outboard seating positions. The pur‐

pose of the pre-tensioner is to make

sure that the seat belts fit tightly

against the occupant's body in certain

collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts

may be activated in crashes where the

collision is severe enough.

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if

the occupant tries to lean forward too

quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock

into position. In certain frontal colli‐

sions, the pre-tensioner will activate

and pull the seat belt into tighter con‐

tact against the occupant's body.

If the system senses excessive tension

on the driver or passenger's seat belt

when the pre-tensioner activates, the

load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will

release some of the pressure on the af‐

fected seat belt. (if equipped)

WARNING

For your safety, be sure that the

belt webbing is not loose or twisted

and always sit properly on your seat.

NOTICE

n if equipped with rollover sen‐

sor

The pre-tensioner will activate not

only in a frontal collision but also in a

side collision or rollover, if the vehicle

is equipped with a side or curtain air

bag.

NOTICE

n without rollover sensor

The pre-tensioner will activate not

only in a frontal collision but also in a

side collision, if the vehicle is equip‐

ped with a side or curtain air bag.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system

consists mainly of the following compo‐

nents. Their locations are shown in the

illustration:

1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module

WARNING

To obtain maximum benefit from a

pre-tensioner seat belt:

1. The seat belt must be worn cor‐

rectly and adjusted to the proper

position. Please read and follow

all of the important information

and precautions about your vehi‐

cle’s occupant safety features –

including seat belts and air bags

– that are provided in this man‐

ual.

2. Be sure you and your passen‐

gers always wear seat belts

properly.

NOTICE

• Pre-tensioners equipped at the

front and rear outboard seating

positions will be activated in cer‐

tain collisions. The pre-tensioner

seat belts can be activated, where

the collision is severe enough, to‐

gether with the air bags.

• When the pre-tensioner seat belts

are activated, a loud noise may be

heard and fine dust, which may

appear to be smoke, may be visi‐

ble in the passenger compart‐

ment. These are normal operating

conditions and are not hazardous.

• Although it is harmless, the fine

dust may cause skin irritation and

should not be breathed for pro‐

longed periods. Wash all exposed

skin areas thoroughly after an ac‐

cident in which the pre-tensioner

seat belts were activated.

• Because the sensor that activates

the SRS air bag is connected with

the pre-tensioner seat belt, the

SRS air bag warning light

on

the instrument panel will illumi‐

nate for approximately 6 seconds

after the ignition switch has been

turned to the ON position, and

then it should turn off.

CAUTION

If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not

working properly, the SRS air bag

warning light will illuminate even if

there is no malfunction of the SRS

air bag. If the SRS air bag warning

light does not illuminate when the

ignition key is turned to ON, or if it

remains illuminated after illuminat‐

ing for approximately 6 seconds, or

if it illuminates while the vehicle is

being driven, have the system in‐

spected by a professional workshop.

Kia recommends to visit an author‐

ized Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING

• Pre-tensioners are designed to op‐

erate only one time. After activa‐

tion, pre-tensioner seat belts

must be replaced. All seat belts, of

any type, should always be re‐

placed after they have been worn

during a collision.

• The pre-tensioner seat belt as‐

sembly mechanisms become hot

during activation. Do not touch the

pre-tensioner seat belt assemblies

for several minutes after they

have been activated.

• Do not attempt to inspect or re‐

place the pre-tensioner seat belts

yourself. Have the system inspec‐

ted by a professional workshop.

Kia recommends to visit an au‐

thorized Kia dealer/service part‐

ner.

• Do not strike the pre-tensioner

seat belt assemblies.

• Do not attempt to service or repair

the pre-tensioner seat belt sys‐

tem in any manner.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Improper handling of the pre-ten‐

sioner seat belt assemblies, and

failure to heed the warnings not to

strike, modify, inspect, replace,

service or repair the pre-tensioner

seat belt assemblies may lead to

improper operation or inadvertent

activation and serious injury.

• Always wear the seat belts when

driving or riding in a motor vehicle.

• If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat

belt must be discarded, contact a

professional workshop. Kia recom‐

mends to visit an authorized Kia

Seat belt precautions

WARNING

• All occupants of the vehicle must

wear their seat belts at all times.

Seat belts and child restraints re‐

duce the risk of serious or fatal in‐

juries for all occupants in the event

of a collision or sudden stop. With‐

out a seat belt, occupants could be

shifted too close to a deploying air

bag, strike the interior structure

or be thrown from the vehicle.

Properly worn seat belts greatly

reduce these hazards.

Always follow the precautions

about seat belts, air bags and oc‐

cupant safety contained in this

manual.

• Never wear a seat belt over fragile

objects. If there is a sudden stop

or impact, the seat belt can dam‐

age it.

Infant or small child

You should be aware of the specific re‐

quirements in your country. Child

and/or infant seats must be properly

placed and installed in the rear seat.

For more information about the use of

these restraints, refer to Child re‐

straint system on page 3-26.

WARNING

Every person in your vehicle needs

to be properly restrained at all

times, including infants and children.

Never hold a child in your arms or lap

when riding in a vehicle. The violent

forces created during a crash will

tear the child from your arms and

throw the child against the interior.

Always use a child restraint appro‐

priate for your child's height and

weight.

NOTICE

Small children are best protected

from injury in an accident when

properly restrained in the rear seat
(Continued)

(Continued)

by a child restraint system that

meets the requirements of the

Safety Standards of your country.

Before buying any child restraint

system, make sure that it has a la‐

bel certifying that it meets Safety

Standards of your country. The re‐

straint 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 on page 3-26.

3-23

Safety featur

es of your v

ehicle

Larger children

Children who are too large for child re‐

straint systems should always occupy

the rear seat and use the available lap/

shoulder belts. The lap portion should

be fastened and snugged on the hips

and as low as possible. Check if belt fits

periodically. 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 12)

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 12 and under

should be restrained securely in the

rear seat. NEVER place a child age 12

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.

WARNING

n Shoulder belts on small chil‐

dren

• Never allow a shoulder belt to be in

contact with a child’s neck or face

while the vehicle is in motion.

• If seat belts are not properly worn

and adjusted on children, there is a

risk of death or serious injury.

Pregnant women

The use of a seat belt is recommended

for pregnant women to lessen the

chance of injury in an accident. When a

seat belt is used, the lap belt portion

should be placed as low and snugly as

possible on the hips, not across the ab‐

domen. For specific recommendations,

consult a physician.

WARNING

n Pregnant women

Pregnant women must never place

the lap portion of the safety belt

over the area of the abdomen where

the fetus is located or above the ab‐
(Continued)

(Continued)

domen where the belt could crush

the fetus during an impact.

Injured person

A seat belt should be used when an in‐

jured person is being transported.

When this is necessary, you should con‐

sult a physician for recommendations.

One person per belt

Two people (including children) should

never attempt to use a single seat belt.

This could increase the severity of inju‐

ries in case of an accident.

Do not lie down

To reduce the chance of injuries in the

event of an accident and to achieve

maximum effectiveness of the re‐

straint system, all passengers should

be sitting up and the front and rear

seats should be in an upright position

when the vehicle is moving. A seat belt

cannot provide proper protection if the

person is lying down in the rear seat or

if the front and rear seats are in a re‐

clined position.

Safety features of your vehicle

3-24

WARNING

Riding with a reclined seatback in‐

creases your chance of serious or fa‐

tal injuries in the event of a collision

or sudden stop. The protection of

your restraint system (seat belts

and air bags) is greatly reduced by

reclining your seat. Seat belts must

be snug against your hips and chest

to work properly. The more the

seatback is reclined, the greater the

chance that an occupant's hips will

slide under the lap belt causing seri‐

ous internal injuries or the occu‐

pant's neck could strike the shoulder

belt. Drivers and passengers should

always sit well back in their seats,

properly belted, and with the seat‐

backs upright.

Care of seat belts

Seat belt systems should never be dis‐

assembled or modified. In addition, care

should be taken to assure that seat

belts and belt hardware are not dam‐

aged by seat hinges, doors or other

abuse.

WARNING

• When you return the rear seat‐

back to its upright position after

the rear seatback has been folded

down, be careful not to damage

the seat belt webbing or buckle. Be

sure that the webbing or buckle

does not get caught or pinched in

the rear seat. A seat belt with

damaged webbing or buckle could

possibly fail during a collision or

sudden stop, resulting in serious

injury. If the webbing or buckles

are damaged, get them replaced

immediately.

• Seatbelts can become hot in a ve‐

hicle that has been closed up in

sunny weather. They could burn

infants and children.

Periodic inspection

All seat belts should be inspected peri‐

odically for wear or damage of any

kind. Any damaged parts should be re‐

placed as soon as possible.

Keep belts clean and dry

Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.

If belts become dirty, they can be

cleaned by using a mild soap solution

and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong

detergents or abrasives should not be

used because they may damage and

weaken the fabric.

When to replace seat belts

Entire in-use seat belt assembly or as‐

semblies should be replaced if the vehi‐

cle has been involved in an accident.

This should be done even if no damage

is visible. In this case, have the system

replaced by a professional workshop.
