The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for mod-
erate-severity impacts. A second stage
level is provided for more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position and safety belt usage, the
SRSCM (SRS Control Module) controls
the air bag inflation. Failure to properly
wear safety belts can increase the risk
or severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your SRS is equipped with
an occupant detection system in the front
passenger’s seat. The occupant detec-
tion system detects the presence of a
passenger in the front passenger’s seat
and will turn off the front passenger’s air
bag under certain conditions. For more
detail, see “Occupant Detection System”
in this section.CAUTION
If the seat position sensor is not working properly, the SRS air bagwarning light on the instrumentpanel will illuminate even if there isno malfunction of the SRS air bag system, because the SRS air bagwarning light is connected with theseat position sensor. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illumi-nate when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position, if it remainsilluminated after illuminating orblinking for approximately 6 sec-onds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have anauthorized Kia dealer inspect theseat position sensor and theadvanced SRS air bag system assoon as possible.WARNING
Modification to the seat structure can adversely affect the seat
position sensor and cause the air
bag to deploy at a different level
than should be provided.
Failure to properly wear safety belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury by causing the
air bags to deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
Do not place any objects under- neath the front seats which could
damage the seat position sensor
or interfere with the occupant
detection system.
Do not place any objects that may cause magnetic fields near the
front seat. These may cause a
malfunction of the seat position
sensor.

Front passenger’s air bag
Front passenger’s air bag is stored in the
instrument panel on the glove box.
Since you cannot know which air bags
will deploy or from what direction, never
put any objects or ornaments on the
instrument panel.
Side air bag (if equipped)
Side air bags are stored in the left side of
the driver’s seat, right side of the front
passenger’s seat.
If air bag inflation conditions are met
(side collision), they will inflate.

WARNING
Do not use any accessory seat
covers for the 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. If inappro-
priate seats are used, unexpected
injury may result in due to the
malfunction of the air bag sys-
tem.
Do not allow the passengers to lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and passen-
gers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision?
(Inflation and non-inflation conditions
of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expect-
ed to provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, second or
third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bag
Front air bags are designed to inflate
when the impact is delivered to front col-
lision sensors depending on the intensity,
speed or angles of impact of the front
collision - generally from an area a little
to the left to a little to the right of straight
ahead.
1VQA2084
WARNING
Do not hit or allow any objects toimpact the locations where air bag
or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal injury
or death.
If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered in
any way, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or they may
not deploy when they should,
causing severe injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Problems may arise if the sensorinstallation angles are changed
due to the deformation of front
bumper, body or B/C pillar where
side collision sensors are
installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag(s) in certain collisions.
Installing aftermarket bumper
guards or replacing a bumper
with non-genuine parts may
adversely affect your vehicles
collision and air bag deployment
performance.

Side air bags (if equipped)
Side air bags (side and/or curtain air
bags) are designed to inflate when an
impact is detected by side collision sen-
sors depending on the strength, speed or
angles of impact of side impact of side
impact collision or rollover. Although the front air bags (driver’s and
front passenger’s air bags) are designed
to inflate only in frontal collision, it may
inflate in any collision if front impact sen-
sors detect a sufficient impact. Side air
bags (side and/or curtain air bags) are
designed to inflate only in side impact
collision, it may inflate in any collision if
side impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads
or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on sur-
faces not designed for vehicle traffic to
prevent unintended air bag deployment.
To protect occupants, front air bags or
pre-tensioner seat belts may deploy in
certain side impact collisions.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because the risk of injuries which can
be caused by the air bags exceeds the
benefits they provide in protecting
occupants.

cles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearview
clarity in the night position. Electric chromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.

Re-calibrating the Compass.
There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle's magnetic
field. Items such as installing a ski rack or
a CB antenna or even some body repair
work on the vehicle can cause changes
to the vehicle's magnetic field. In these
situations, the compass will need to be
re-calibrated to quickly correct for these
changes. To re-calibrate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button (2) between
9 and 12 seconds. Release the button
when a "C" appears in the display,
which indicates the compass needs
calibration.
2. To re-calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle is 2 complete circles at less
than 5 MPH.
