Window opening and closingThe driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the win-
dows in the vehicle. To open or close a
window, press down or pull up the front
portion of the corresponding switch.
Automatic power windowDepressing or pulling up the power win-
dow switch momentarily to the second
detent position (
\b) completely lowers or
lifts the window even when the switch is
released. To stop the window at the
desired position while the window is in
operation, pull up or depress the switch
momentarily to the opposite direction of
the window movement.
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, the automatic power win-
dow system must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON position.
2. Close each window and continue pulling up on each power window
switch for at least 0.5 second after the
window is completely closed. Automatic window reversal (When win-
dow is closed by the automatic power
window)
If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance
and will stop upward movement. The
window will then lower approximately 5.9
inches (150 mm) to allow the object to be
cleared.

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.
