Kia K4: Seats / Headrest (for front seat)

• Adjusting the height up and down
• Forward and backward adjustment:
• Removing headrest
• Reinstalling headrest

The driver and front passenger seats of your Kia K4 are engineered with adjustable headrests to provide vital support and comfort during your journeys.

The headrest serves as a crucial safety component, designed to mitigate head and neck movement in the event of a rear-end collision. To achieve maximum protection in your Kia K4, the center of the headrest should be adjusted to align with the center of gravity of your head—typically level with the height of your eyes.

Maintain the headrest as close to your head as possible. We do not recommend the use of aftermarket cushions between your back and the seatback, as these can push your body away from the protective headrest and alter your seating posture.

WARNING

CAUTION

Adjusting the height up and down

1. To raise the headrest, pull it upward steadily to your preferred position (1).
2. To lower the headrest:
   1. Press and hold the release button (2) located on the headrest support guide.
   2. Slide the headrest down to the desired height (3).

   WARNING

   To ensure maximum occupant protection in your Kia K4, always verify that the headrest clicks and locks securely into position after every adjustment.

   CAUTION

   If you recline the seatback forward while the headrest and seat cushion are both in their highest positions, the headrest may come into contact with the sun visor or other interior components of your Kia K4.

Forward and backward adjustment:

You can fine-tune the angle of the headrest in your Kia K4 by pulling it forward to one of three distinct positions.

To reset the headrest to its furthest rear position, simply pull the headrest all the way forward until it releases and returns to the initial setting.

We recommend adjusting the headrest to a position that provides consistent support for your head and neck during daily operation of your Kia K4.

Removing headrest

To remove the front headrest from your Kia K4:

1. Slightly recline the seatback (2) using the recline lever or power switch (1).
2. Raise the headrest to its maximum height.
3. Press and hold the headrest release buttons (3) simultaneously while pulling the headrest upward (4) to remove it from the seat frame.

   WARNING

   Headrest removal hazard: NEVER allow a passenger to occupy a seat in the Kia K4 if the headrest has been removed or installed in reverse. Properly adjusted headrests provide critical support to the head and neck, potentially preventing severe injury in a collision.

Reinstalling headrest

To reinstall the headrest in your Kia K4:

1. Insert the headrest poles (2) into the slots while pressing the release button (1).
2. Adjust the seatback (4) to a comfortable angle using the recline lever/switch (3).
3. Set the headrest to the appropriate height for your comfort and safety.

   WARNING

   Headrest reinstallation: To minimize the risk of neck or head injury, always ensure the headrest is locked securely into the Kia K4 seat frame after reinstallation.
