Kia Soul: Child restraint system (CRS) / Installing a Child Restraint System (CRS)
WARNING
Before installing your Child Restraint System always:
Read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the Child
Restraint System.
Failure to follow all warnings and instructions could increase the risk of
the SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if an accident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle's headrest prevents proper installation of a Child Restraint
System, the headrest of the respective seating position shall be readjusted or entirely
removed.
After selecting a proper Child Restraint System for your child and checking that
the Child Restraint System fits properly on the seating position, there are three
general steps for a proper installation:
- Properly secure the Child Restraint System to the vehicle. All Child Restraint
Systems must be secured to the vehicle with the lap belt or lap part of a lap/shoulder
belt or with the ISOFIX toptether and/or ISOFIX anchorage and/or with the support
leg.
- Make sure the Child Restraint System is firmly secured. After installing
a Child Restraint System to the vehicle, push and pull the seat forward and
from side-to-side to verify that it is securely attached to the seat. A Child
Restraint System secured with a seat belt should be installed as firmly as possible.
However, some side-to-side movement can be expected. When installing a Child
Restraint System, adjust the vehicle seat and seatback (up and down, forward
and rearward) so that your child fits in the Child Restraint System in a confortable
manner.
- Secure the child in the Child Restraint System. Make sure the child is
properly strapped in the Child Restraint System according to the Child Restraint
System manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
A Child Restraint System in a closed vehicle can become very hot. To prevent
burns, check the seating surface and buckles before placing your child in the Child
Restraint System.
