WARNING
nRear seatbacks
•The rear seatback must be secure‐ly latched. If not, passengers andobjects could be thrown forwardresulting in serious injury or deathin the event of a sudden stop orcollision.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Luggage and other cargo should belaid flat in the cargo area. If ob‐jects are large, heavy, or must bepiled, they must be secured.Under no circumstances shouldcargo be piled higher than theseatbacks. Failure to follow thesewarnings could result in serious in‐jury or death in the event of a sud‐den stop, collision or rollover.
•No passenger should ride in thecargo area or sit or lie on foldedseatbacks while the vehicle ismoving. All passengers must beproperly seated in seats and re‐strained properly while riding.
•When resetting the seatback tothe upright position, make sure itis securely latched by pushing itforward and backwards.
•To avoid the possibility of burns,do not remove the carpet in thecargo area.Emission control devices beneaththis floor generate high tempera‐tures.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, alwayscheck that it is securely locked intoplace by attempting to move theseat forward or backward withoutusing the lock release lever. Suddenor unexpected movement of thedriver's seat could cause you to losecontrol of the vehicle resulting in anaccident.
WARNING
•Do not adjust the seat while wear‐ing seat belts. Moving the seatcushion forward may cause strongpressure on the abdomen.
•Use extreme caution so that handsor other objects are not caught inthe seat mechanisms while theseat is moving.
•Do not put a cigarette lighter onthe floor or seat. When you oper‐ate the seat, gas may gush out ofthe lighter and cause fire.

Lumbar support (if equipped)
The lumbar support can be adjusted by
pressing the lumbar support switch on the side of the Driver's seat. 1. Press the front portion of the switch to increase support, or the
rear portion of the switch, to de‐
crease support.
2. Release the switch once it reaches the desired position.
Front seat adjustment - power
(if equipped)
The front seat can be adjusted by usingthe control switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper position so you can easily control the
steering wheel, pedals and switches on
the instrument panel.
WARNING
The power seat is operable with theengine start/stop button in OFF.Therefore, children should never beleft unattended in the vehicle.
CAUTION
•The power seat is driven by anelectric motor. Stop operating oncethe adjustment is completed. Ex‐cessive operation may damage theelectrical equipment.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•When in operation, the power seatconsumes a large amount of elec‐trical power. To prevent unneces‐sary charging system drain, don’tadjust the power seat longer thannecessary while the engine is notrunning.
•Do not operate two or more powerseat control switches at the sametime. Doing so may result in powerseat motor or electrical compo‐nent malfunction.

•Keep the SRS parts and wiringsaway from water or any liquid. Ifthe SRS components are inopera‐tive due to exposure to water orliquids, it may cause fire or severeinjury.
How does the air bag system
operate
• Air bags are activated (able to inflateif necessary) only when the engine
start/stop button is turned to the ON or START position.
• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of a serious frontal collision or side
collision (if equipped with a side air
bag or curtain air bag) in order to
help protect the occupants from seri‐ ous physical injury.
• There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to in‐
flate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These two
factors determine whether the sen‐ sors produce an electronic deploy‐
ment/inflation signal. • Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the den‐ sity and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. The determining factors are
not limited to those mentioned
above.
• The front air bags will completely in‐ flate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an ac‐
cident.
It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com‐ partments after the collision.
NOTICE
nIf equipped with rollover sen‐
sor
Air bags inflate instantly in the
event of a rollover (if equipped with
a side air bag or curtain air bag) in
order to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
• In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of the air bag inflation is a consequence of ex‐
tremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need to inflate the air
bag between the occupant and the
vehicle structures before the occu‐ pant impacts those structures.
This speed of inflation reduces the
risk of serious or life-threatening in‐
juries in a severe collision and is thus
a necessary part of the air bag de‐
sign.
However, air bag inflation can also cause injuries which can include facial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inflation speed also cau‐
ses the air bags to expand with a great deal of force.
•
There are even circumstances underwhich contact with the steeringwheel air bag can cause fatal injuries,especially if the occupant is posi‐tioned excessively close to the steer‐ing wheel.

WARNING
•To avoid severe personal injury ordeath caused by deploying air bagsin a collision, the driver should sitas far back from the steeringwheel air bag as possible (at least250 mm (10 inches) away). Thefront passengers should alwaysmove their seats as far back aspossible and sit back in their seat.
•Air bags inflate instantly in theevent of a collision, and passen‐gers may be injured by the air bagexpansion force if they are not in aproper position.
•Air bag inflation may cause injuriesincluding facial or bodily abrasions,injuries from broken glasses orburns.
Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle. This is normal and is a result of the ig‐
nition of the air bag inflator. After the
air bag inflates, you may feel substan‐ tial discomfort in breathing due to the
contact of your chest with both the
seat belt and the air bag, as well as from breathing the smoke and powder.
Open your doors and/or windows assoon as possible after the impact in or‐der to reduce discomfort and preventprolonged exposure to smoke and pow‐der.
Though the smoke and powder are non-toxic, they may cause irritation to
the skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc). If
this is the case, wash and rinse with cold water immediately and consult a
doctor if the symptom persists.
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the airbag related parts in the steeringwheel, instrument panel, front seatsand/or in both sides of the roof rails

The front air bag modules are located
in the center of the steering wheel, in the front passenger's panel above the
glove box and/or in the driver’s side
knee bolster. When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe impact to the
front of the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the front air bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will sepa‐ rate under pressure from the expan‐
sion of the air bags. Further opening of
the covers then allows full inflation of the air bags.

•The SRS can function only whenthe Engine Start/Stop is set to theON position. If the SRS air bagwarning light does not illuminate,or continuously remains on afterilluminating for about 6 secondswhen the Engine Start/Stop but‐ton is turned to the ON position, orafter the engine is started, comeson while driving, the SRS is notworking properly. If this occurs, werecommend that the system be in‐spected by an authorized Kia deal‐er.
•Before you replace a fuse or dis‐connect a battery terminal, turnthe Engine Start/Stop button tothe OFF position. Never remove orreplace the air bag related fuse(s)when the Engine Start/Stop but‐ton is in the ON position. Failure toheed this warning will cause theSRS air bag warning light to illumi‐nate.

The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel, in the knee bolster
below the steering wheel column and
the passenger's side front panel above the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection to that offered by the seat belt system
alone in case of a frontal impact of suf‐
ficient severity. The SRS uses sensors to gather information about the driv‐
er's seat position, the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt usage and the impact severity. The seat belt buckle sensors (if equip‐
ped) determine if the driver and front
passenger's seat belts are fastened. These sensors provide the ability to
control the SRS deployment based on
whether or not the seat belts are fas‐ tened, and how severe the impact is.
WARNING
Always use seat belts and child re‐straints – every trip, every time, ev‐eryone! Air bags inflate with consid‐erable force and in the blink of aneye. Seat belts help keep occupantsin proper position to obtain maxi‐mum benefit from the air bag. Evenwith air bags, improperly positionedand unbelted occupants can be se‐verely injured when the air bag in‐flates. Always follow the precautionsabout seat belts, air bags and occu‐pant safety contained in this man‐ual.To reduce the chance of serious orfatal injuries and receive the maxi‐mum safety benefit from your re‐straint system:•Never place a child in any child orbooster seat in the front seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•ABC – Always Buckle Children inthe 2nd row seat. It is the safestplace for children of any age toride.
•Front and side air bags can injureoccupants improperly positioned inthe front seats.
•Move your seat as far back aspractical from the front air bags,while still maintaining control ofthe vehicle.
•You and your passengers shouldnever sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the air bags. Improperlypositioned drivers and passengerscan be severely injured by inflatingair bags.
•Never lean against the door orcenter console – always sit in anupright position.
•Do not allow a passenger to ride inthe front seat when the passeng‐er’s front air bag OFF indicator isilluminated, because the air bagwill not deploy in the event of amoderate or severe frontal crash.

•No objects should be placed overor near the air bag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panelor the front passenger's panelabove the glove box, because anysuch object could cause harm ifthe vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the air bags todeploy.
•Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring or other components ofthe SRS system. Doing so could re‐sult in injury, due to accidental de‐ployment of the air bags or byrendering the SRS inoperative.
•If the SRS air bag warning light re‐mains illuminated while the vehicleis being driven, we recommendthat the system be inspected byan authorized Kia dealer.
•Air bags can only be used once –we recommend that the systembe replaced by an authorized Kiadealer.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•The SRS is designed to deploy thefront air bags only when an impactis sufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° fromthe forward longitudinal axis ofthe vehicle. Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Seatbelts must be worn at all times.
•Front air bags are not intended todeploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition,front air bags will not deploy infrontal crashes below the deploy‐ment threshold.
•A child restraint system must nev‐er be placed in the front seat. Theinfant or child could be severely in‐jured or killed by an air bag deploy‐ment in case of an accident.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Children age 12 and under must al‐ways be properly restrained in therear seat. Never allow children toride in the front passenger seat. Ifa child over 12 must be seated inthe front seat, he or she must beproperly belted and the seatshould be moved as far back aspossible.
•For maximum safety protection inall types of crashes, all occupantsincluding the driver should alwayswear their seat belts whether ornot an air bag is also provided attheir seating position to minimizethe risk of severe injury or death inthe event of a crash.Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the air bag while the vehi‐cle is in motion.
