3A driver position memory system is pro-
vided to store and recall the seat and
outside mirror positions with a simple
button operation. By saving the desired
positions into the system memory, differ-
ent drivers can reposition the seat and
outside mirror based upon their driving
preference.
If battery is disconnected, the position
memory will be lost and the driving posi-
tions should be restored in the system.

WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
The seat belt must be worn cor-
rectly.
The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position.
Pre-tensioner seat beltYour vehicle is equipped with driver’s and
front passenger’s pre-tensioner seat
belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is
to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant’s body in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat
belts can be activated alone or, together
with the air bags, where the frontal colli-
sion is severe enough.
✽ ✽ NOTICEThe pre-tensioner seat belt is installed at
the front seats, and the sensor is
equipped inside the buckle, where pres-
ence of passenger is sensed by the fas-
tening of the seat belts. Therefore, pre-
tensioner will not activate if the passen-
ger is not fastened with the seat belts.
Likewise, it will activate if buckled even
without a passenger in the seat. Pre-ten-
sioner seat belt is designed to activate
when the seatbelt is in use. To ensure
the pretensioner seatbelts activate in
event of a possible seatbelt buckle
switch malfunction, the system is
designed to activate regardless of
whether a seat belt is in use or if no seat
belt use is detected within 6 seconds of
turning the ignition switch ON.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion.➀

Load limiter When the pre-tentioner activates, if the
system senses excessive seat belt ten-
sion on the driver or passenger’s seat
belt, the load limiter inside the pre-ten-
sioner will release some of the pressure
on the affected seat belt.
WARNING
Pre-tensioners are designed tooperate once. After activation,
pre-tensioner seat belts must be
replaced. All seat belts, of any
type, should always be replaced
after they have been worn during
a collision.
Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. This must be done
by an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
The pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
bly mechanisms become hot during
activation. Do not touch the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt assembly for sever-
al minutes after they have been acti-
vated.
WARNING
Because the sensor that activatesthe SRS air bag is connected with
pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS
air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will blink or illu-
minate for approximately 6 sec-
onds after the ignition key has
been turned to the “ON” position,
then the light should go off.
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working properly, this warn-
ing light will illuminate even if
there is no malfunction of SRS air
bag system. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to
“ON” , or if it remains illuminated
after blinking or illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, please have an
authorized Kia dealer inspect the
pre-tensioner seat belt or SRS air
bag system as soon as possible.
WARNING
When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated and the air bag is
deployed, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment and
are not toxic.
Although, it is harmless, the fine
dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash your hands
and face thoroughly after an acci-
dent in which the air bags and/or
pre-tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.

Air bag system components The SRS air bag consists of the fol-lowing components;
1. Driver's air bag module
2. Passenger's air bag module
3. Side air bag module
4. Curtain air bag module
5. Front impact sensors
6. Side impact sensors
7. SRS air bag control module
8. Driver's seat position sensor
9. Occupant Classification System (Front passenger's seat only)
10. "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator (Front passenger's seat
only)
11. Driver's and front passenger's safety belt buckle sensors
12. Retractor Pre-tensioner Assemblies
13. SRS "AIR BAG" warning light
A diagnostic system that continually monitors the system operation.
An indicator light to warn you of a pos- sible problem with the system.
Emergency power backup in case your car’s electrical system is disconnected
in a crash. The SRS uses a collection of sensors to
gather information about the driver’s seat
position, the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s safety belt usage and impact sever-
ity.
The driver’s seat position sensor, which
is installed on the seat track, determines
if the seat is fore or aft of a reference
position. Similarly, the safety belt usage
sensors determine if the driver and front
passenger’s safety belts are fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to con-
trol the SRS deployment based on how
close the driver’s seat is to the steering
wheel, how close the passenger’s seat is
to the instrument panel, whether or not
the safety belts are fastened, and the
severity of the impact.
(Continued)
If your vehicle has been subject-
ed to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing water
on the floor of the vehicle, etc.) or
if your vehicle has become flood
damaged in any way, do not
attempt to start the vehicle or put
the key in the ignition before dis-
connecting the battery.
Disregarding this precaution may
cause air bag deployment, which
could result in serious personal
injury or death. If your vehicle is
subjected to flooded conditions,
before starting the vehicle, have
the vehicle towed to an author-
ized Kia dealer for inspection and
necessary repairs.
