Side air bag (if equipped)Side air bags are stored in the left side of
the driver’s seat and right side of the front
passenger’ s seat.
If air bag inflation conditions are met
(side collision), they will inflate.
(Continued)
 Never allow front passenger to put their hands, feet or face on or
close to the instrument panel. In
the event of air bag deployment,
such a mispositioned occupant
would be likely to suffer severe
injury or death.
 Never allow children, pregnant women or weak persons to sit in
the front passenger seat. They
may be seriously injured by the
air bag inflation when air bag
deploys.
 Do not use child restraint sys- tems on the front passenger's
seat, as inflation may cause death
or severe personal injury.
 Do not put objects or stickers on the instrument panel. Do not
apply any accessory on the front
windshield glass or do not install
aftermarket mirrors or acces-
sories on the factory installed
rearview mirror. Any of these
could may interfere with the
deployment of air bag inflation or
could hit your body at high speed
and cause severe bodily injury
and even death.

WARNING
- Seat covers,
damage and modifications
 Do not use any accessory seat
covers for a vehicle equipped
with side air bags.
Use of seat covers could interfere
with side air bag deployment.
If seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized Kia
dealer. Inform them that your
vehicle is equipped with side air
bags and an occupant detection
system.
 Do not make modifications or additions to the seats as they may
cause the air bag system to mal-
function resulting in severe per-
sonal injury or death.

of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgement. Driving
while under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous or more dangerous
than driving drunk.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive.

er who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a cab.
