SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and so there are no parts you
can safely service by yourself. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorised Kia
dealer.WARNING
Modification to SRS compo- nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft, dry
cloth or one which has been
moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag
covers and proper deploy-ment of the system.
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag mod-ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box, because any
such object could cause harm
if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the
air bags to inflate.
(Continued)(Continued)
If the air bags inflate, we rec-ommend that the system be
replaced by an authorised Kia
dealer.
Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or othercomponents of the SRS sys-
tem. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
If components of the air bag system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.An authorised Kia dealer
knows these precautions and
can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow
these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk
of personal injury.
If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water
on flooring, you shouldn't try to
start the engine; we recom-
mend that you contact an
authorised Kia dealer.
