KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
3-36 Once you have installed the ISOFIX
child restraint, assure that the seat is
properly attached to the ISOFIX and
tether anchors. Also, test the child
restraint seat before you place the child
in it. Tilt the seat from side to side. Also
try to tug the seat forward. Check to see
if the anchors hold the seat in place.
SAFETY BELT WARNING
LIGHT AND CHIMEAs a reminder to the driver and
passenger, safety belt warning light will
blink for approximately 6 seconds each
time you turn the ignition switch ON.
If the driver's lap/shoulder belt is not
fastened when the key is turned ON or if
it is unfastened after the key is turned
ON, the safety belt warning light blinks
for approximately 6 seconds and safety
belt warning chime sounds for
approximately 6 seconds.

Safety belt warning light
WARNING
 If the child restraint is not
anchored properly, the risk of
a child being seriously injured
or killed in a collision greatly
increases.
 Do not mount more than one
child restraint to a single
tether or to a child restraint
lower anchorage point. The
improper increased load may
cause the anchorage points or
tether anchor to break,
causing serious injury or
death.
 Do not install a child restraint
seat at the rear center seating
position using the vehicle’s
ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX
anchors are only provided for
the left and right outboard rear
seating positions. Do not
misuse the ISOFIX anchors by
attempting to attach a child
restraint seat in the middle rear
seating position position to the
ISOFIX anchors. In a crash, the
child restraint seat ISOFIX
attachments may not be strong
enough to secure the child
restraint seat improperly in the
rear center seating position
and may break, causing
serious injury or death.

Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible child restraint seat
only to the appropriate locations
shown in the illustration.
 Always follow the installation
and use instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the
child restraint.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
USING SAFETY BELTSThere are four very important reasons to
use safety belts even with an air bag
system, they:
• Help keep you in the proper position
(away from the air bag) when it
inflates.
• Reduce the risk of harm in rollover,
side or rear impact collisions,
because an air bag is not designed to
inflate in such situations.
• Reduce the risk of harm in frontal
collisions that are not severe enough
to activate the supplemental restraint
system.
• Reduce the risk of being thrown from
your vehicle.
WARNING - Air Bags &
Safety Belts
 Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers
must always wear the safety
belts provided in order to
minimize the risk and severity
of injury in the event of a
collision or rollover.
 Always wear your safety belt.
It can help keep you away
from the air bags during
heavy braking just before a
collision.
 Air bags are designed to
inflate only in severe frontal
collisions and will generally
not provide protection in side
or rear impacts, rollovers or
less severe frontal collisions.
They will also not provide
protection from later impacts
in a multi-impact collision.
 If your vehicle has been
subjected 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 disconnecting the
battery. This may cause air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal
injury or death. Have the
vehicle towed to an
Authorized Kia Dealer for
inspection and necessary
repairs.
MS-CNA-Eng 3.QXD 7/25/2005 5:17 PM Page 43

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
3-46NOISE AND SMOKEWhen the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bags inflate, you may feel
substantial discomfort in breathing due
both to the contact by your chest with
both the safety belt and the air bag, as
well as from breathing the smoke and
powder.
We strongly urge you to open your
doors and/or windows as promptly as
possible after impact in order to
reduce discomfort and prevent
prolonged exposure to the smoke and
powder.
WARNING - Hot Metal
Parts
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag inflators in the steering
wheel and/or in the dashboard
are very hot. To prevent injury,
do not touch the air bag storage
area’s internal components
immediately after an air bag has
inflated.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTThe purpose of the air bag warning light
in your instrument panel is to alert you of
a potential problem with your Air Bag -
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Have the system checked if:
• The light does not illuminate when
you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays ON after the engine
starts.
• The light comes ON or flashes while
you are driving.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM SERVICEYour Supplemental Restraint System is
virtually maintenance-free. There are no
parts which you can service.
You must have the system serviced
under the following circumstances:
• If an air bag ever inflates, the air bag
must be replaced. Do not try to
remove or discard the air bag by
yourself.
This must be done by an Authorized
Kia Dealer.
• If the air bag warning indicator light
alerts you of a problem, have the air
bag system checked as soon as
possible. Otherwise, your air bag
might not inflate when you need it.
The entire SRS system must be inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer 10 years
after the vehicle manufacture date.
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
AIR
BAG
AS2B03035
 Do not use excessive force
on the side of the seat.
 Do not place any objects
over the airbag or between
the airbag and yourself.
 Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag,etc.) between
the front door and the front
seat. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the side air
bag inflates.
 To prevent unexpected
deploy-ment of the side air
bag that may result in
personal injury, avoid impact
to the side airbag sensor
when the ignition key is
“ON”.
