Safety features of your vehicle
❈The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Side air bags
Side air bags (side and/or curtain air
bags) are designed to inflate when an
impact is detected by side collision
sensors depending on the severity of
impact resulting from a side impact
collision. Also, the side and/or curtain air bags
are designed to inflate when a rollover
is detected by a rollover sensor.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
and front passenger’s air bags) are
designed to inflate in frontal colli-
sions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient frontal
force in another type of impact. Side
and curtain air bags are designed to
inflate in certain side impact colli-
sions. They may inflate in other types
of collisions where a side force is
detected by the sensors. Side air bag
and/or curtain air bags may also
inflate where rollover sensors indi-
cate the possibility of a rollover
occurring (even if none actually
occurs) or in other situations, includ-
ing when the vehicle is tilted while
being towed.
Even where side and/or curtain air
bags would not provide impact pro-
tection in a rollover, however, they
will deploy to prevent ejection of
occupants, especially those who are
restrained with seat belts.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads or sidewalks, air bags may
deploy. Drive carefully on unim-
proved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.

Safety features of your vehicle
In a slant or angled collision, theforce of impact may direct the
occupants in a direction where the
air bags would not be able to pro-
vide any additional benefit, and
thus the sensors may not deploy
any air bags. Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
“under-ride” situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
replaced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions. Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over.

Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees, where the
point of impact is concentrated to
one area and the full force of the
impact is not delivered to the sen-
sors.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, have your
vehicle immediately inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, the
front passenger's panel, and front
seats must be performed by an
authorized Kia dealer. Improper han-
dling of the SRS system may result
in serious personal injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which
has been moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
1JBA3518
WARNING- Tampering
with SRS
Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other com-
ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in the
accidental inflation of the air
bags or render the SRS inoper-
ative.
WARNING- Towing Vehicle
Always have the Engine
Start/Stop button in the OFF
position when your vehicle is
being towed. The side air bags
may inflate if the vehicle is tilted
(such as when being towed)
because of the rollover sensors
in the vehicle.

This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses moisture
on the inside of the wind-
shield and is activated.
If more moisture is in the vehicle, the
auto defogging system addresses
excess moisture on the inside of the
windshield in stages as follows:
Step 1 : Operating the air condition- ing
Step 2 : Outside air position
Step 3 : Blowing air flow toward the windshield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
If your vehicle is equipped with the
auto defogging system, it is automat-
ically activated when the conditions
are met.
However, if you would like to deacti-
vate the auto defogging system,
keep the front defroster button
pressed longer than 3 seconds. The “ADS OFF” symbol will be
shown in the climate display to

FCA system is designed to detect
and monitor a vehicle ahead in the
roadway through sensors (i.e., radar)
to warn the driver that a collision is
imminent and, if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
❈ Radar type FCA system does not
operate to detect pedestrians in
front.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate FCA system
by placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting 'User
Settings' →'Driver Assistance' →
'Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system'.
FCA system deactivates when the
driver cancels the system setting.
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM (RADAR TYPE) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
-
Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA)
Limitations
FCA system is a supplemental
system and is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead to
ensure it is safety to use FCA
system.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) sys-
tem:
• This system is only a supple- mental system and is not
intended to, nor does it,
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
NEVER drive too fast for the road conditions or while cor-
nering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA system does not
stop the vehicle completely
and does not avoid collisions.
FCA system does not stop the
vehicle completely and is not
a collision avoidance system.

Brake operation
In an emergency situation, the
braking system enters in ready sta-
tus for prompt reaction upon the
driver depressing the brake pedal.
FCA system provides additional braking power for optimum braking
performance when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
turns the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical- ly canceled when risk factors dis-
appear.
FCA system front radar sensor
In order for FCA system to operate
properly, always make sure the sen-
sor or sensor cover is clean and free
of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt, snow,
or foreign substances on the lens
may adversely affect the sensing
performance of the sensor.
WARNING
FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
ahead, the speed of the vehicle
ahead, and the driver's vehicle
speed. Certain conditions such
as inclement weather, road con-
ditions, and systems limitations
may affect the operation of the
FCA system.
WARNING
FCA system braking control
cannot completely stop the
vehicle nor avoid all collisions.
The driver should hold the
responsibility to drive safely
and control the vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
CAUTION
The driver should always exer-cise caution when operatingthe vehicle, even though there isno warning message or warningalarm.
