Window opening and closing
The driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the win-
dows in the vehicle. To open or close a
window, press down or pull up the front
portion of the corresponding switch.
Automatic power window
Depressing or pulling up the power win-
dow switch momentarily to the second
detent position (
➅) completely lowers or
lifts the window even when the switch is
released. To stop the window at the
desired position while the window is in
operation, pull up or depress the switch
momentarily to the opposite direction of
the window movement.
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, the automatic power win-
dow system must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON position.
2. Close each window and continue pulling up on each power window
switch for at least 0.5 second after the
window is completely closed. Automatic window reversal (When win-
dow is closed by the automatic power
window)
If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance
and will stop upward movement. The
window will then lower approximately
150 mm (5.9 inches) to allow the object
to be cleared.

A driver position memory system is pro-
vided to store and recall the seat and
outside mirror positions with a simple
button operation. By saving the desired
positions into the system memory, differ-
ent drivers can reposition the seat and
outside mirror based upon their driving
preference.
If battery is disconnected, the position
memory will be lost and the driving posi-
tions should be restored in the system.
Storing positions into memory
using the buttons on the door
Storing driver’ s seat positions
1. Shift the transaxle lever into P while
the ignition switch is ON.
2. Adjust the seat and outside rearview mirror to positions comfortable for the
driver.
3. Press the M button on the control panel.
4. Press one of the memory buttons (1 or 2) within 5 seconds after pressing the
M button. The system will beep twice
when memory has been successfully
stored.
The particular driver positions are mem-
orized in the button (1 or 2) selected.
Recalling positions from memory
1. Shift the transaxle lever into P while the ignition switch is ON.
2. To recall the position in memory, press the desired memory button (1 or 2) the
system will beep once, then the seat
and outside rearview mirror will auto-
matically adjust to the stored positions.
Adjusting one of the control knobs for the
seat or outside rearview mirror while the
system is recalling the stored positions
will cause the movement for that compo-
nent to stop and move in the direction
that the control knob is moved. Other
components will continue position recall-
ing.
To stop the position recall at any point in
the recall process, press the STOP but-
ton once. Seat and outside rearview mir-
ror position recalling will stop.

Air bag system components
• The SRS air bag consists of the fol-lowing components;
1. Driver's air bag module
2. Passenger's air bag module
3. Side air bag module
4. Curtain air bag module
5. Front impact sensors
6. Side impact sensors
7. SRS air bag control module
8. Driver's seat position sensor
9. Occupant Classification System (Front passenger's seat only)
10. "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator (Front passenger's seat
only)
11. Driver's and front passenger's safety belt buckle sensors
12. Retractor Pre-tensioner Assemblies
13. SRS "AIR BAG" warning light
• A diagnostic system that continually monitors the system operation.
• An indicator light to warn you of a pos- sible problem with the system.
• Emergency power backup in case your car’s electrical system is disconnected
in a crash. The SRS uses a collection of sensors to
gather information about the driver’s seat
position, the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s safety belt usage and impact sever-
ity.
The driver’s seat position sensor, which
is installed on the seat track, determines
if the seat is fore or aft of a reference
position. Similarly, the safety belt usage
sensors determine if the driver and front
passenger’s safety belts are fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to con-
trol the SRS deployment based on how
close the driver’s seat is to the steering
wheel, how close the passenger’s seat is
to the instrument panel, whether or not
the safety belts are fastened, and the
severity of the impact.
(Continued)
• If your vehicle has been subject-
ed to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing water
on the floor of the vehicle, etc.) or
if your vehicle has become flood
damaged in any way, do not
attempt to start the vehicle or put
the key in the ignition before di s-
connecting the battery.
Disregarding thi s precaution may
cause air bag deployment, which
could result in serious per sonal
injury or death. If your vehicle i s
subjected to flooded condition s,
before starting the vehicle, have
the vehicle towed to an author-
ized Kia dealer for in spection and
necessary repair s.
