Knowing your vehicle
Restraint of larger children
WARNING - Children on
laps
Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms in a moving vehi-
cle.
Even a very strong person can-
not hold onto a child in the
event of even a minor collision.
WARNING - Infants and
young children
As children grow, they may need to
use new child-restraint systems,
including larger child seats or boost-
er seats, which are appropriate for
their increased size.
A child who has outgrown available
child-restraint systems should use
the belts provided in the vehicle.
When seated in the rear outboard
seats, the child should be restrained
by the lap/shoulder belt.
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 sys-
tem. In addition, after-market devices
are available from independent man-
ufacturers which help pull the shoul-
der belt down and away from the
child’s face or neck.

• Infants and young children are
at much greater risk of serious
injury or death in an accident
or sudden stop if they are unre-
strained or restrained improp-
erly. Follow all instructions in
this section and the instruc-
an
approved child safety system.
The child restraint must be cor-
rectly installed in the vehicle,
and the child must be correctly
placed in the child restraint.

CAUTION - Hot metal
parts
Safety belts and seats can
become hot in a vehicle that has
been closed during warm/hot
weather; they could burn a
child. Check seat covers and
buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.
• All children under 12 are
safest in the back seat.
• Never install a child or infant
seat in the front passenger
position. The baby will be
injured or killed by the airbag
if it deploys.
•
Never allow a child to stand or
kneel on the seat of a moving
vehicle.

Automotive readers have rated 2007 Kia Sportage Owners Manual 3.5 out of 5.0 based on 4 product reviews. I purchased this vehicle and needed a manual. I really can't rate what I don't have.
Haven't got it yet
it is great to have this site, thank you.
Great service. I purchased a used KIA with no manual and this answered all my questions.
Thank You
