WARNING
- Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous even if the key is not
in the ignition. Children copy
adults and they could place the
key in the ignition. The ignition
key would enable children to
operate power windows or other
controls, or even make the vehi-
cle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even
death. Never leave the keys in
your vehicle with unsupervised
children.

airbags will deploy or from what
direction, never put any objects or
ornaments on the instrument panel.

WARNING
You must always sit as far back from the steering wheel
airbag as possible (chest at
least 250 mm (10 inches) away
from the steering wheel), while
still maintaining a comfortable
seating position for good
vehicle control, in order to
reduce the risk of injury ordeath in a collision.
Never place objects over the airbag storage compartments
or between the airbags and
yourself. Due to the speed and
force of the airbag inflation,
such objects could hit your
body at high speed and cause
severe bodily injury and evendeath.
Do not put stickers or orna- ments on the steering wheel
cover. These may interfere
with the deployment of the
airbag.

AIR CONDITIONER AIR FILTER (IF EQUIPPED)
The air conditioner air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dustor other pollutants that come into the
vehicle from the outside through theheating and air conditioning system.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air flow from the air vents may
decrease, resulting in moisture accu-
mulation on the inside of the wind-
shield even when the outside (fresh)
are position is selected. If this hap-
pens, have the air conditioner air fil-
ter replaced by an Authorized Kia
Dealer. The air filter should be replaced
every 15,000 km. If the vehicle is
operated in the severely air-polluted
cities or on dusty rough roads for a
long period, it should be inspected
more frequently and replaced earlier.
When you try to replace the air filter
by owner maintenance, replace it
performing the following procedure,
and in this case, be careful to avoid
damaging other components.
Filter replacement
1. Open the glove box part way,reach inside and pull out the elas- tic line and push the retaining clipthrough the hole on the side of the
