•Air baþs can only be used once -have the system replaced by aproýessional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•The SRS is desiþned to deploy theýront air baþs only when an impactis suýýiciently severe and when theimpact anþle is less than 30° ýromthe ýorward lonþitudinal axis oýthe vehicle. Additionally, the airbaþs will only deploy once. Seatbelts must be worn at all times.
•Front air baþs are not intended todeploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition,ýront air baþs will not deploy inýrontal crashes below the deploy‐ment threshold.

•A child restraint system must nev‐er be placed in the ýront seat. Theinýant or child could be severely in‐jured or killed by an air baþ deploy‐ment in case oý an accident.
•Children aþe 12 and under must al‐ways be properly restrained in therear seat. Never allow children toride in the ýront passenþer seat. Iýa child over 12 must be seated inthe ýront seat, he or she must beproperly belted and the seatshould be moved as ýar back aspossible.
•For maximum saýety protection inall types oý crashes, all occupantsincludinþ the driver should alwayswear their seat belts whether ornot an air baþ is also provided attheir seatinþ position to minimizethe risk oý severe injury or death inthe event oý a crash.

uation as a rollover.
WARNING
•The side air baþ is supplemental tothe seat belt systems and is not asubstitute ýor them. Thereýoreyour seat belts must be worn at alltimes while the vehicle is in mo‐tion. The air baþs deploy only in
certain side impact or rollover*
conditions severe enouþh to causesiþniýicant injury to the vehicle oc‐cupants.
•For best protection ýrom the sideair baþ system and to avoid beinþinjured by the deployinþ side airbaþ, both ýront and all rear (iýequipped) seat occupants shouldsit in an upriþht position with theseat belt properly ýastened.

NOTICE
nWithout rollover sensor
However, side and/or curtain air
baþs may inýlate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact collision,
iý the vehicle is equipped with side
air baþs and curtain air baþs.
• Air baþs may not inýlate iý the vehiclecollides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point oý im‐ pact is concentrated to one area and
the ýull ýorce oý the impact is not de‐
livered to the sensors.
SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-ýree
and so there are no parts you can saýe‐
ly service by yourselý. Iý the SRS air baþ warninþ liþht does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, have the sys‐
tem inspected by a proýessional work‐ shop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
•Modiýication to SRS components orwirinþ, includinþ the addition oýany kind oý badþes to the pad cov‐ers or modiýications to the bodystructure, can adversely aýýectSRS perýormance and lead to pos‐sible injury.
•For cleaninþ the air baþ pad cov‐ers, use only a soýt, dry cloth orone which has been moistenedwith plain water. Solvents or clean‐ers could adversely aýýect the airbaþ covers and proper deploymentoý the system.

•Iý components oý the air baþ sys‐tem must be discarded, or iý thevehicle must be scrapped, certainsaýety precautions must be ob‐served. An authorized Kia dealerknows these precautions and canþive you the necessary inýorma‐tion. Failure to ýollow these pre‐cautions and procedures could in‐crease the risk oý personal injury.
•Iý your car was ýlooded and hassoaked carpetinþ or water onýloorinþ, you shouldn't try to startthe enþine; in this case, have yourvehicle inspected by a proýessionalworkshop. Kia recommends tocontact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
Additional saýety precautions
•Never let passenþers ride in the carþoarea or on top oý a ýolded-down backseat. All occupants should sit upriþht,
ýully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their ýeet on the
ýloor. •
çassenþers should not move out oýor chanþe seats while the vehicle ismovinþ.
A passenþer who is not
wearinþ a seat belt durinþ a crash or
emerþency stop can be thrown
aþainst the inside oý the vehicle,
aþainst other occupants, or out oý
the vehicle.
•
Each seat belt is desiþned to restrainone occupant. Iý more than one per‐
son uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
•
Do not use any accessories on seatbelts. Devices claiminþ to improve oc‐
cupant comýort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provi‐
ded by the seat belt and increase the
chance oý serious injury in a crash.
•
çassenþers should not place hard orsharp objects between themselvesand the air baþs. Carryinþ hard or
sharp objects on your lap or in your
mouth can result in injuries iý an air
baþ inýlates. •
Keep occupants away ýrom the airbaþ covers.
All occupants should sit
upriþht, ýully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their ýeet on
the ýloor. Iý occupants are too close to the air baþ covers, they could be
injured iý the air baþs inýlate.
•
Do not attach or place objects on ornear the air baþ covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the ýront or
side air baþ covers could interýere with the proper operation oý the air
baþs.
•
Do not modiýy the ýront seats. Modi‐
ýication oý the ýront seats could in‐
terýere with the operation oý the
supplemental restraint system sens‐ inþ components or side air baþs.
•
Do not place items under the ýrontseats. çlacinþ items under the ýront
seats could interýere with the opera‐
tion oý the supplemental restraint system sensinþ components and wir‐
inþ harnesses.
•
Never hold an inýant or child on yourlap. The inýant or child could be seri‐
ously injured or killed in the event oý
a crash. All inýants and children
should be properly restrained in ap‐
propriate child saýety seats or seat
belts in the rear seat.
