Air bag (Supplemental Restraint
System) service
Your Supplemental Restraint System is
virtually maintenance-free. There are no
parts which you can service.
You must have the system serviced
under the following circumstances:
• If an air bag ever inflates, the air bag
must be replaced. Do not try to remove
or discard the air bag by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
• If the air bag warning indicator light alerts you to a problem, have the air
bag system checked as soon as possi-
ble. Otherwise, your air bag system
may be ineffective.
When repairing or scrapping thevehicles
• Repairing steering wheel, instrument panel, center console or roofs, or
installing car audio around center con-
sole or painting front metal sheet could
disable the air bag system. Have them
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
• When leaving the vehicle at an author- ized Kia dealer, inform the facility that
the vehicle is equipped with an air bag
system, and leave the owner’s manual
in the vehicle.
• Since the air bag system contains explosive chemical substances, con-
tact an authorized Kia dealer when
scrapping the vehicle.
WARNING- No mainte-
nance or repair
• Do not modify your s teering
wheel, seat or any other part of
the Supplemental Res traint
System. Modification could make
the system inoperable.
• Do not work on the system’ s com-
ponents or wiring. This could
cause the air bags to inflate inad-
vertently, possibly seriously injur-
ing someone. Working on the sys-
tem could al so disable the sys-
tem so that the air bags would not
deploy in a collision.
• Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, ins talling,
repairing, or any work on the
s teering wheel mus t be per-
formed by a qualified Kia techni-
cian. Improper handling of the air
bag system may result in serious
per sonal injury or death.
CAUTION - No modifica-
tion
Do not modify any part of the air
bag system. Modification could
make the air bag system ineffective
or could caus e unnecessary
deployment.

ditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when you first apply (or lightly
apply) the brakes. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem with your
brakes.
✽NOTICE

continue to drive with worn brake pads.
WARNING- Brake wear
This brake wear warning s ound
means your vehicle needs service.
If you ignore this audible warning,
you will eventually lose braking per-
formance, which could lead to a
serious accident.
CAUTION

plete front or rear axle sets.

indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test
