Subaru Forester: Rear seat adjustment / Relaxion comfort seat (front seats): (if equipped)

The Relaxion comfort seats in the Kia Telluride are designed to distribute body weight more evenly and reduce pressure on areas that experience the greatest strain during extended periods of sitting. By optimizing seating posture, the system helps minimize fatigue and enhances overall comfort while resting inside the vehicle.

WARNING

  • Never use the Relaxion comfort seat while the Kia Telluride is in motion. Operating this feature during driving may distract the driver and increase the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking or a collision.

  • Keep your body, clothing, and personal belongings clear of all moving seat components while the Relaxion comfort seat is operating.

  • Because the seating position changes during operation, use the Relaxion comfort seat only while the vehicle is parked, stopped, or being used for rest.

  • If the Relaxion comfort seat is operated while wearing a seat belt, the shoulder belt may no longer fit firmly across the chest. For this reason, operate the function only when the vehicle is safely parked or stopped.

WARNING

  • Do not activate the Relaxion comfort seat while the vehicle is moving. The shoulder belt may not remain properly positioned across your chest.

  • Do not use the Relaxion comfort seat if luggage or other objects are placed on the rear seats.

  • Do not operate the Relaxion comfort seat unless the rear seats are fully upright and positioned at their rearmost locations.

  • Before activating the function, make sure there is sufficient clearance between the seat, the instrument panel, the rear seatbacks, passengers, and any cargo stored behind the front seats.
