Air bag system components The main components of your SRS are:
To indicate that your vehicle isequipped with air bags, the corre-
sponding air bag covers are marked
with “SRS AIR BAG”.
- Driver’s air bag
- Driver’s knee air bag
- Front passenger’s air bag
- Curtain air bag
A diagnostic system that continually monitors the system operation.
An indicator light to warn you of a pos- sible problem with the system.
Emergency power backup in case your car’s electrical system is disconnected
in a crash.
Your vehicles SRS uses a variety of sen-
sors to monitor the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s safety belt usage and impact
severity.
The safety belt usage sensors determine
if the driver and front passenger’s safety
belts are fastened. These sensors pro-
vide the ability to control the SRS deploy-
ment based on whether or not the safety
belts are fastened, and how severe the
impact is. 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 and
safety belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS
Control Module) controls the air bag infla-
tion. 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 classification system in the
front passenger’s seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front passen-
ger’s seat and will turn off the front pas-
senger’s air bag under certain conditions.
For more detail, see “Occupant
Classification System” later in this sec-
tion.
(Continued)
They will generally not provide
protection in side impacts (except
curtain air bags) or rear impacts,
rollovers, less severe frontal colli-
sions. They will not provide pro-
tection from later impacts in a
multi-impact collision.
If your vehicle has been subject- ed to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing water
on the floor of the vehicle, etc.) or
if your vehicle has become flood
damaged in any way, do not
attempt to start the vehicle or put
the key in the ignition before dis-
connecting the battery. This may
cause air bag deployment, which
could result in serious personal
injury or death. If your vehicle has
been subjected to flooded condi-
tions, before attempting to start
the vehicle, have the vehicle
towed to an authorized Kia dealer
for inspection and necessary
repairs.

3Your new mirror comes with an integrat-
ed HomeLink Universal Transceiver,
which allows you to program the mirror to
activate your garage door(s), estate gate,
home lighting, etc. The mirror actually
learns the codes from your various exist-
ing transmitters.
ProgrammingYour vehicle may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the ACC position
for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink. It is also recommended that a
new battery be replaced in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink for quicker train-
ing and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency.
Follow these steps to train your
HomeLink mirror:
HOMELINK® WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
When programming the
HomeLink® Wireless Control
System, you may be operating a
garage door or gate operator.
Make sure that people and objects
are out of the way of the moving
door or gate to prevent potential
harm or damage.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use HomeLink with anygarage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety stan-
dards. (This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to
stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener with-
out these features increases risk
of serious injury or death. For
more information, call 1-800-355-
3515 or on the internet at
www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures
(i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is
also suggested that upon the sale
of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink buttons be erased for
security purposes (follow step 1
in the “Programming” portion of
this text).

4 Even with the anti-lock brake system,
your vehicle still requires sufficient
stopping distance. Always maintain a
safe distance from the vehicle in front
of you.
Always slow down when cornering. The anti-lock brake system cannot pre-
vent accidents resulting from exces-
sive speeds.
On loose or uneven road surfaces, operation of the anti-lock brake system
may result in a longer stopping dis-
tance than for vehicles equipped with a
conventional brake system.
✽ ✽ NOTICEWhen you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the engine
may not run as smoothly and the ABS
warning light may turn on at the same
time. This happens because of the low
battery voltage. It does not mean your
ABS is malfunctioning.
• Do not pump your brakes!
• Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
ABS
W-78
CAUTION
If the ABS warning light is on and
stays on, you may have a problemwith the ABS system. In this case,however, your regular brakes will work normally.
The ABS warning light will stay on for approximately 3 secondsafter the ignition switch is ON. During that time, the ABS will gothrough self-diagnosis and the light will go off if everything isnormal. If the light stays on, you may have a problem with yourABS system. Contact an author-ized Kia dealer as soon as possi-ble.
CAUTION
When you drive on a road having poor traction, such as an icy road,and operate your brakes continu-ously, the ABS will be active con-tinuously and the ABS warning light may illuminate. Pull your carover to a safe place and stop theengine.
Restart the engine. If the ABS warning light is off, then yourABS system is normal. Otherwise, you may have a prob-lem with the ABS. Contact anauthorized Kia dealer as soon as possible.

4Electric azimuth compassIt displays azimuth according to the vehi-
cle’s driving direction.
The indication is displayed only when the
vehicle is in motion.✽ ✽
NOTICEIf new vehicle is first driven or if the
battery has been disconnected, correct
the azimuth indicator before driving.
Correcting azimuth indicator It is needed to correct the error between
a current azimuth to terrestrial magnet-
ism sensor and the displayed azimuth in
the vehicle position.How to correct azimuth indicator1. If you push the MODE/SET switch and
hold for more than 1 second and less
than 4.5 seconds, the azimuth indica-
tor (DIR) will start blinking with the
vehicle's present direction.
2. Slowly (about 5 km/h, 3 mph) rotate the vehicle one turn (360 degree) with-
in 128 seconds.
The rotation could be made at anydirection(left or right) in an open
space.
3. When the rotation is finished, the azimuth compass indicator (DIR) will
stop blinking and the error correction is
completed.
If the indicator continues to blink,
rotate the vehicle a bit more until the
blinking stops.
The azimuth compass indicator cor- rection will be cancelled:1. If you press MODE/SET switch for more than 0.1 second.
2. When the vehicle is not rotated within 128 seconds after the blinking of the
indicator.✽ ✽NOTICEThe azimuth may display abnormally in
specific places (tunnel, parking lot in
building, underground parking lot, near
transformer substation, etc.). It is nor-
mal and the azimuth is displayed nor-
mally when escaping above mentioned
places.
