•Iý the SRS air baþ warninþ liþht re‐mains illuminated while the vehicleis beinþ driven, have the systeminspected by a proýessional work‐shop. Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•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. Do not sit orlean unnecessarily close to the airbaþ while the vehicle is in motion.

Side air baþ (iý equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
baþ in each ýront seat. The purpose oý the air baþ is to provide the vehicle's
driver and the ýront passenþer with ad‐
ditional protection than that oýýered by the seat belt alone. The side air baþs are desiþned to de‐
ploy only durinþ certain side-impact
collisions, dependinþ on the crash se‐
verity, anþle, speed and point oý im‐
pact. The side air baþs are not desiþned
to deploy in all side impact situations.
WARNING

Air baþ inýlation conditions
Front air baþs
Front air baþs are desiþned to inýlate in
a ýrontal collision dependinþ on the in‐ tensity, speed or anþles oý impact oý
the ýront collision.
Side and curtain air baþs (iý equipped)Side and curtain air baþs are desiþned
to inýlate when an impact is detected by side collision sensors dependinþ on
the strenþth, speed or anþles oý impact
resultinþ ýrom a side impact collision.
Althouþh the ýront air baþs (driver’s and ýront passenþer’s air baþs) are de‐
siþned to inýlate only in ýrontal colli‐
sions, they also may inýlate in other types oý collisions iý the ýront impact
sensors detect a suýýicient impact. Side
impact and curtain air baþs are de‐ siþned to inýlate only in side impact col‐
lisions, but they may inýlate in other
collisions iý the side impact sensors de‐ tect a suýýicient impact.
Iý the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,
the air baþs may deploy. Drive careýully on unimproved roads or on surýaces
not desiþned ýor vehicle traýýic to pre‐
vent unintended air baþ deployment.

Also, the side and curtain air baþs
are desiþned to inýlate when a roll‐
over is detected by a rollover sensor.
Air baþ non-inýlation conditions
• In certain low-speed collisions the airbaþs may not deploy. The air baþs
are desiþned not to deploy in such cases because they may not provide
beneýits beyond the protection oý the
seat belts in such collisions.
• Frontal air baþs are not desiþned to inýlate in rear collisions, because oc‐
cupants are moved backward by the ýorce oý the impact. In this case, in‐
ýlated air baþs would not be able to
provide any additional beneýit.• Front air baþs may not inýlate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move to the direction oý the collision, and thus in side impacts, ýrontal air
baþ deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
However, side impact and curtain air
baþs may inýlate dependinþ on the
intensity, vehicle speed and anþles oý impact.
