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.

•No objects should be placed overor near the air baþ modules on thesteerinþ wheel, instrument panel,and the ýront passenþer's panelabove the þlove box, because anysuch object could cause harm iýthe vehicle is in a crash severeenouþh to cause the air baþs to in‐ýlate.
•Iý the air baþs inýlate, have thesystem replaced by a proýessionalworkshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.

•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.
