WARNING
nUprighting seat
When you return the seatback to itsupright position, hold the seatbackand return it slowly and be surethere are no other occupants aroundthe seat. If the seatback is returnedwithout being held and controlled,the back of the seat could springforward resulting in accidental injuryto a person struck by the seatback.
WARNING
nDriver responsibility for pas‐sengers
Riding in a vehicle with the seatbackreclined could lead to serious or fatalinjury in an accident. If a seat is re‐clined during an accident, the occu‐pant’s hips may slide under the lapportion of the seat belt, applyinggreat force to the unprotected abdo‐men. Serious or fatal internal injuriescould result. The driver must advisethe passenger to keep the seatbackin an upright position whenever thevehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that re‐duces friction between the seat andpassenger. The passenger's hipsmay slide under the lap portion ofthe seat belt during an accident or asudden stop. Serious or fatal internalinjuries could result because the seatbelt can't operate normally.
WARNING
nDriver’s seat
•Never attempt to adjust the seatwhile the vehicle is moving. Thiscould result in loss of control, andan accident causing death, seriousinjury, or property damage.
•Do not allow anything to interferewith the normal position of theseatback. Storing items against aseatback or in any other way in‐terfering with proper locking of aseatback could result in serious orfatal injury in a sudden stop or col‐lision.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Always drive and ride with yourseatback upright and the lap por‐tion of the seat belt snug and lowacross the hips. This is the bestposition to protect you in case ofan accident.
•In order to avoid unnecessary andperhaps severe air bag injuries, al‐ways sit as far back as possiblefrom the steering wheel whilemaintaining comfortable control ofthe vehicle. We recommend thatyour chest be at least 250 mm(10 inches) away from the steer‐ing wheel.
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.

•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 ignition
switch 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.
NOTICE
nIf equipped with rollover sen‐
sor
(Continued)
(Continued)
Also, the 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 occu‐
pants from serious physical injury.
• In normal conditions, the airbag is de‐ signed to deploy based on certain an‐
gle and intensity of the collision. These two factors are crucial ele‐
ments for deciding whether to trans‐
mit airbag deployment signal or start
the electrical operation or not.
• The airbag will deploy based on angle and intensity of the collision. It willnot deploy in every crash or collision
situations.
• 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. • In order to help provide protection in
a severe collision, the air bags mustinflate 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 impact in orderto reduce discomfort and prevent pro‐longed exposure to the smoke andpowder.
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 and/or instrument paneland/or in both sides of the roof rails

above the front and rear doors arevery hot. To prevent injury, do nottouch the air bag storage area’s in‐ternal components immediately af‐ter an air bag has inflated.Do not install or place any accesso‐ries near air bag deployment areas,such as the instrument panel, win‐dows, pillars, and roof rails.

The air bag modules are located both in
the center of the steering wheel and in the front passenger's panel above the
glove box. When the SRSCM detects a
sufficiently severe impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically de‐
ploy 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.

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 belted andunbelted occupants can be severelyinjured when the air bag inflates. Al‐ways follow the precautions aboutseat belts, air bags and occupantsafety contained in this manual.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.
•ABC – Always Buckle Children inthe back seat. It is the safest placefor children of any age to ride.
•Front and side air bags can injureoccupants improperly positioned inthe front seats.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•No objects should be placed overor near the air bag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument paneland 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, have the systeminspected by a professional work‐shop. Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.

•Never place or insert any object in‐to any small opening near side air‐bag labels attached to the vehicleseats. When the air bag deploys,the object may affect the deploy‐ment and result in unexpected ac‐cident or bodily harm.
WARNING
nNo attaching objects
No objects (such as crash pad cover,cellular phone holder, cup holder,perfume or stickers) should beplaced over or near the air bag mod‐ules on the steering wheel, instru‐ment panel, windshield glass, andthe front passenger's panel abovethe glove box. Such objects couldcause harm if the vehicle is in acrash severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy. Do not place any ob‐jects over the air bag or between theair bag and yourself.
Side air bag (if equipped)
Front
Your vehicle is equipped with a side im‐
pact air bag in each front seat. The purpose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and the front passenger
with additional protection than that of‐ fered by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to de‐
ploy only during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash se‐ verity, angle, speed and point of im‐
pact. The side impact air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to leantheir heads or bodies onto doors, puttheir arms on the doors, stretchtheir arms out of the window, orplace objects between the doors andpassengers when they are seated onseats equipped with side and/or cur‐tain air bags.

SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safe‐
ly service by yourself. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, have the sys‐
tem inspected by a professional work‐ shop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
•Modification to SRS components orwiring, including the addition ofany kind of badges to the pad cov‐ers or modifications to the bodystructure, can adversely affectSRS performance and lead to pos‐sible injury.
•For cleaning the air bag pad cov‐ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistenedwith plain water. Solvents or clean‐ers could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deploymentof the system.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•No objects should be placed overor near the air bag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panel,and 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 to in‐flate.
•If the air bags inflate, have thesystem replaced by a professionalworkshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring, or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing so couldresult in injury, due to accidentalinflation of the air bags or by ren‐dering the SRS inoperative.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•If components of the air bag sys‐tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, certainsafety precautions must be ob‐served. An authorized Kia dealerknows these precautions and cangive you the necessary informa‐tion. Failure to follow these pre‐cautions and procedures could in‐crease the risk of personal injury.
•If your car was flooded and hassoaked carpeting or water onflooring, you shouldn't try to startthe engine; in this case, have yourvehicle inspected by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends tocontact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Additional safety precautions
•Never let passengers ride in the cargoarea or on top of a folded-down backseat. All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.
