WARNING – Ignition Key
Leaving children unattended in a vehicle with
the ignition key is dangerous even if the key is
not in the ignition. Children copy adults and
they could place the key in the ignition. The
ignition key would enable children to operate
power windows or other controls, or even
make the vehicle move which could result in
serious bodily injury or even death. Never
leave the keys in your vehicle with unsuper-
vised children.

your vehicle. If an aftermarket key is used, the
ignition switch may not return to ON after
START. If this happens, the starter will continue
to operate causing damage to the starter motor
and possible fire due to excessive current in the
wiring.

2. Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module.
WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-ten-
sioner seat belt :
 The seat belt must be worn correctly.
 The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct
position.✻ ✻
NOTICE
 Both the driver's and front passenger's pre-ten-
sioner seat belts will be activated in certain
frontal collisions. The pre-tnesioner seat belts
can be activated, where the frontal collision is
severe enough, together with the airbag. The
pretensioners will be activated under these con-
ditions even if there is no one on the seat at the
time of the collision.
 When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated,
a loud noise may be heard and fine dust, which
may appear to be smoke, may be visible in the
passenger compartments and they are not haz-
ardous. (Continued)
(Continued)
 Although it is harmless, the fine dust may
cause skin irritation and should not be breathed
for prolonged periods. Wash your hands and
face thoroughly after an accident in which the
pretensioner seat belts were activated.
CAUTION
• Because the sensor that activates the SRS airbag
is connected with pre-tensioner seat blet, the SRS
airbag warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate for approximately 6 seconds after
the ignition key has been turned to the “ON”
positions, and then it should be turned off.
 If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not working
properly, this warning light will illuminate even
of there is no malfunction of SRS airbag system.
If the SRS airbag warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition key is turned to “ON”, or
if it remains illuminated after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates
while the vehicle is being driven, please have an
Authorized Kia Dealer inspect the pre-tension-
er seat belt or SRS airbag system as soon as
possible.

(Continued)
 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 colli-
sions. They will also not provide protection
from later impacts in a multi-impact colli-
sion.
 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 discon-
necting 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.
Air Bag System ComponentsThe main components of your vehicle’s SRS are:
 One air bag in the steering wheel for the driver, and
another in the dashboard for the front passenger.
 A diagnostic system that continually monitors sys-
tem operation.
 An indicator light to warn you of a possible problem
with the system.
 Emergency power backup in case your car’s electri-
cal system is disconnected in a crash.

warning labels which are now required by the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS)
are adhered to the driver’s and passenger’s sunvisors

Note that even though these government warnings
emphasize the risk to children, please be aware of the
risk to adults, as described in previous pages.
Children 12 and under can be killed by the air bag.
The BACK SEAT is the SAFEST place for children.
NEVER put a rear-facing child seat in the front.
Sit as far back as possible from the air bag.ALWAYS use SEAT BELTS and CHILD RESTRAINTS.
