Safety features of your vehicle
Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-cle collides with objects such as util-
ity poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area
and the full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.
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 illumi-
nate, or continuously remains on, have
your vehicle immediately inspected by
an authorized K900 Kia dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, the
front passenger’s panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized K900 Kia dealer.
Improper handling of the SRS sys-
tem may result in serious bodily
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
deployment of the system.
If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be observed. An
authorized K900 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 bod-
ily injury.

Adding equipment to or modi-
fying your air bag-equipped
vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by chang-
ing your vehicle's frame, bumper sys-
tem, front end or side sheet metal or
ride height, this may affect the opera-
tion of your vehicle's air bag system.
Air bag warning label
Air bag warning labels, some
required by the U.S. National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), are attached to the sunvi-
sor to alert the driver and passen-
gers of potential risks of the air bag
system.
WARNING- Tampering
with SRS
Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other com-
ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in the
accidental inflation of the air
bags or render the SRS inoper-
ative.
WARNING- Towing Vehicle
Always have the Engine
Start/Stop button in the OFF
position when your vehicle is
being towed. The side air bags
may inflate if the vehicle is tilted
(such as when being towed)
because of the rollover sensors
in the vehicle.ORJ038068N

The Parking Distance Warning sys-
tem assists the driver during move-
ment of the vehicle by chiming if any
object is sensed within the distance
of 39 in. (100 cm) in front and 47 in.
(120 cm) behind the vehicle. This system is a supplemental sys-
tem and is not intended to, nor does
it, replace the need for the driver's
extreme care and attention.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors (➀) are
limited. Whenever moving pay as
much attention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a Parking Distance
Warning system.
Operation of the Parking
Distance Warning system
Operating condition
This system activates when the
Parking Distance Warning system
button is pressed with the ignition
switch ON.
The indicator of the Parking Distance Warning system button
turns on automatically and activates
the Parking Distance Warning sys-
tem when you shift the gear to the R
(Reverse) position. It will turn off
automatically when you drive above
12.4 mph (20 km/h).
PARKING DISTANCE WARNING SYSTEM
WARNING
The Parking Distance Warning
system is a supplemental sys-
tem only.
The operation of the parking
distance warning can be affect-
ed by several factors (including
environmental conditions).
It is the responsibility of the
driver to always check the areas
around the vehicle before and
while parking.
