3The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position (only driver) and safety belt
usage, the SRSCM (SRS Control
Module) controls the air bag inflation.
Failure to properly wear safety belts
can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
Additionally, your SRS is equipped with
an occupant classification system in the
front passenger’ s seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front passen-
ger’ s seat and will turn off the front pas-
senger’ s air bag under certain conditions.
For more detail, see “Occupant
Classification System” later in this sec-
tion.
CAUTION
If the seat position sensor is not working properly, the SRS air bag warning light ( ) on the instru-ment panel will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of the SRS air bag system, because the SRS airbag warning light is connected with the seat position sensor. If the SRSair bag warning light does not illu- minate when the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position, if it remains illuminated after blinkingfor approximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle isbeing driven, have an authorizedKia dealer inspect the seat positionsensor and the advanced SRS air bag system as soon as possible.
AIR
BAG
WARNING
 Modification to the seat structure
can adversely affect the seat
position sensor and cause the air
bag to deploy at a different level
than should be provided.
 Failure to properly wear safety belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury by causing the
air bags to deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
 Do not place any objects under- neath the driver’s seats which
could damage the seat position
sensor.
 Do not place any objects that may cause magnetic fields near the
front seat. These may cause a
malfunction of the seat position
sensor.

Knowing your vehicle
Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger’s seat is forbid-
den.Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat. If the air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-
ing child restraint, causing serious or
fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passenger ’s
seat either. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause ser ious or fatal
injuries to the improperly positioned or
improperly restrained child.
Air bag warning lightThe purpose of the air bag warning light in
your instrument panel is to alert you of a
potential problem with your air bag -
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
When the ignition switch is turned ON,
the indicator light should blink or illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds, then
go off.
Have the system checked if:
 The light does not turn on briefly when
you turn the ignition ON.
 The light stays on after the engine
starts.
 The light comes on while the vehicle is
in motion.

AIR
BAG
WARNING
 Never put child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the front
passenger air bag inflates, it
would cause serious or fatal
injuries.
 When children are seated in the rear outboard seats in which side
air bags are equipped, be sure to
put the child restraint system as
far away from the door side as
possible, and securely lock the
child restraint system in position.
Inflation of side or curtain air bag
could cause serious injury or
death due to the expansion
impact.
