Kia Telluride: Installing a child restraint system (CRS) / Securing a child restraint system (CRS) with the LATCH anchors system

To install a LATCH-compatible Child Restraint System in either rear outboard seating position of your Kia Telluride:

1. Move the seat belt buckle away from the lower anchors to prevent accidental contact. This helps avoid damage to the buckle or seat belt webbing during installation.
2. Remove any objects that could interfere with a secure connection between the child restraint and the lower anchors.
3. Position the CRS on the vehicle seat, then connect its lower anchor attachments to the vehicle's lower anchors exactly as instructed by the CRS manufacturer.
4. Adjust and tighten the lower anchor straps according to the manufacturer's instructions until the Child Restraint System is securely installed.

   WARNING

   Observe the following precautions whenever using the LATCH system:

   • Carefully read and follow every installation instruction provided by the Child Restraint System manufacturer.

   • To prevent a child from becoming entangled in an unused seat belt, fasten all unused rear seat belts before placing the child in the vehicle. Lock each unused belt using the automatic locking mode described in this manual, and position the webbing behind the child restraint or against an unused seatback. A loose shoulder belt can wrap around a child's neck and create a serious strangulation hazard.

   • Never attach more than one Child Restraint System to a single lower anchor. Excessive loading may cause the anchor or attachment hardware to loosen or fail during a collision.

   • After any collision, have the LATCH anchorage system inspected by an authorized Kia dealer. Even if no visible damage is present, impact forces may affect the integrity of the anchorage system.

   NOTE

   The recommended maximum combined weight for the LATCH system is 65 lb (30 kg). When selecting a Child Restraint System, ensure that the combined weight of the child and the CRS does not exceed this limit.

   Use the following formula as a general guide:

   CRS Weight = 65 − (Child's total weight in lb)
