WARNING
- Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in a
vehicle with the ignition key is dan-
gerous even if the key is not in the
ignition. Children copy adults and
they could place the key in the igni-
tion. 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 unsupervised children.

ignition key in 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 cur-
rent in the wiring.

Main components of occupant classi-fication system Detection devices located under the front passenger seat frame.
Electronic system to determine whether passenger air bag systems
(both front and side) should be activat-
ed or deactivated.
A indicator light ocated on the instru- ment panel which illuminates the words
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” passen-
ger air bag system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag indicator light is interconnected with the occu-
pant classification system. If there is no passenger in the front pas-
senger seat or if the passenger in the
front passenger seat is very light, (such
as a child), the front PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF
indicator may illuminate.
When this indicator is ON, the front pas-
senger’s air bag will not operate.
If there is no passenger in the front pas-
senger's seat, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator comes on, and the
system shuts off not only the front pas-
senger's front air bag but also the front
passenger’s side air bag. Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained
properly (sitting upright with the seat in
an upright position, centered on the seat
cushion, with the person's legs comfort-
ably extended, feet on the floor, and
wearing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the safety belt.
The OCS may not function properly if
the passenger takes actions which can
defeat the detection system. These
include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.
(2) Leaning against the door or center console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or rest- ing them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back.

SRS careYour Supplemental Restraint System is
virtually maintenance-free. There are no
parts which you can service.
You must have the system serviced
under the following circumstances:
If an air bag ever inflates, the air bagmust be replaced. Do not try to remove
or discard the air bag by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
If the air bag warning indicator light alerts you to a problem, have the air
bag system checked as soon as possi-
ble. Otherwise, your air bag system
may be ineffective.
When repairing or scrapping thevehicles Repairing steering wheel, instrument panel, center console or roofs, or
installing car audio around center con-
sole or painting front metal sheet could
disable the air bag system. Have them
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
When leaving the vehicle at an autho- rized Kia dealer, inform the facility that
the vehicle is equipped with air bag
system, and leave the owner’s manual
in the vehicle.
Since air bag system contains explo- sive chemical substances, contact an
authorized Kia dealer when scrapping
the vehicle.
WARNING
- No mainte-
nance or repair
Do not modify your steering
wheel, seat or any other part of
the Supplemental Restraint
System. Modification could make
the system inoperable.
Do not work on the system’s com- ponents or wiring. This could
cause the air bags to inflate inad-
vertently, possibly seriously injur-
ing someone. Working on the sys-
tem could also disable the sys-
tem so that the air bags would not
deploy in a collision.
Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the
steering wheel must be per-
formed by a qualified Kia techni-
cian. Improper handling of the air
bag system may result in serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING
- No modifica-tion
Do not modify any part of the air
bag system. Modification could
make the air bag system ineffective
or could cause unnecessary
deployment.
