Kia Sorento: Storage compartments
The thoughtfully designed interior of your Kia Sorento offers versatile storage compartments for the daily convenience of the driver and all passengers:
To deter potential theft and protect your belongings, never leave valuable items unattended inside visible vehicle storage compartments.
Always keep storage compartment lids and doors securely closed while the vehicle is in motion. Never attempt to overload any compartment to the point where its latch cannot close completely.
WARNING: Flammable materials safety
Never store pressurized propane cylinders, aerosol cans, lighter fluid, or other flammable and explosive materials inside your vehicle. These items can ignite or rupture violently if the interior of your Kia Sorento is exposed to direct sunlight and high ambient temperatures for extended periods.

WARNING: Glove box safety
To minimize the risk of facial or knee injuries during a sudden collision or abrupt vehicle stop, always keep the glove box door completely closed while driving your Kia Sorento.
CAUTION
Do not store perishable food items inside the glove box for prolonged periods.
