Safety features of your vehicle

These sensors provide the ability to
control the SRS deployment based on
whether or not the seat belts are fas-
tened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation with
two levels. A first stage level is pro-
vided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.
The passenger’s front air bag is
designed to help reduce the injury of
children sitting close to the instru-
ment panel in low speed collisions.
However, children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear seat.
According to the impact severity,
seating position and seat belt usage,
the SRSCM (SRS Control Module)
controls the air bag inflation. Failure
to properly wear seat belts can
increase the risk or severity of injury
in an accident. Additionally, your vehicle is equipped
with an occupant detection system in
the front passenger's seat. The occu-
pant detection system detects the
presence of a passenger in the front
passenger's seat and will turn off the
front passenger's air bag under cer-
tain conditions. For more detail, see
“Occupant detection system” in this
section.
Do not place any objects that may
cause magnetic fields near the front
seat. These may cause a malfunction
of the seat track position sensor.
Modification to the seat structure can
cause the air bag to deploy at a dif-
ferent level than should be provided.
Manufacturers are required by gov-
ernment regulations to provide a
contact point concerning modifica-
tions to the vehicle for persons with
disabilities, which modifications may
affect the vehicle’s advanced air bag
system. That contact is Kia’s toll-free
Customer Assistance center at 1-
800-333-4Kia. However, Kia does
not endorse nor will it support any
changes to any part or structure of
the vehicle that could affect the
advanced air bag system, including
the occupant detection system.
WARNING
- Replacement
/Modifications
The front passenger seat, dash-
board or door should not be
replaced except by an authorized
Kia dealer using original Kia parts
designed for this vehicle and
model. Any other such replace-
ment or modification could
adversely affect the operation of
the occupant detection system
and your advanced air bags.

Limitations of Rear View Monitor
 When the vehicle is stopped for along time in winter or when the
vehicle is parked in an indoor park-
ing lot, the exhaust fumes may
temporarily blur the image.WARNING
Rear View Monitor is not a
safety device. It only serves to
assist the driver in identifying
objects directly behind the
middle of the vehicle. The
camera does not cover the
complete area behind the
vehicle.
 Never rely solely on the rear
view monitor. As there are
blind spots that do not appear
on the camera while backing
up and parking, You must
always use methods of view-
ing the area behind you
including looking over both
shoulders as well as continu-
ously checking all three rear
view mirrors.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Always look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are no
objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any
direction to prevent a colli-
sion.
 Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven
close to objects, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children.
 If the camera lens is covered
with foreign material, Rear
View Monitor may not operate
normally. Always keep the
camera lens clean. However,
do not use chemical solvents
such as strong detergents
containing high alkaline or
volatile organic solvents
(gasoline, acetone etc.). This
may damage the camera lens.
 When stopping for a long time
in winter or parking in an
indoor parking lot, the image
may temporarily be blurry due
to the exhaust gas.

ous. Even a small amount of
alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment.

fere with your ability to use the
brake and accelerator pedals.
