in proper position to obtain maxi‐mum benefit from the air bag.Even with air bags, improperly 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.
•Move your seat as far back aspractical from the front air bags,while still maintaining control ofthe vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•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.
•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 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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•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.
•Air bags can only be used once –have the system replaced by aprofessional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•The SRS is designed to deploy thefront air bags only when an impactis sufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° fromthe forward longitudinal axis ofthe vehicle. Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Seatbelts must be worn at all times.
•Front air bags are not intended todeploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition,front air bags will not deploy infrontal crashes below the deploy‐ment threshold.

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.
•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.
•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.

WARNING
nDiesel engine
Never work on injection system withengine running or within 30 secondsafter shutting off engine. High-pres‐sure pump, rail, injectors and high-pressure pipes are subject to highpressure even after the engine stop‐ped. The fuel jet produced by fuelleaks may cause serious injury, if ittouches the body. People usingpacemakers should not move than30 cm closer to the ECU or wiringharness within the engine roomwhile engine is running, since the

CAUTION
•Do not put heavy objects or applyexcessive force on top of the en‐gine cover (if equipped) or fuel re‐lated parts.
•When you inspect the fuel system(fuel lines and fuel injection devi‐ces), contact a professional work‐shop. Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•Do not drive long time with the en‐gine cover (if equipped) removed.
•When checking the engine room,do not go near fire. Fuel, washerfluid, etc. are flammable oils thatmay cause fire.
