C040301AXM-EUCondition and operation in the front passenger occupant detection system*1) The ODS system uses a field to evaluate a person's size to determine whether theair bag should deploy. It is possible for a child to be detected and activate the ODS,
thus allowing the airbag to deploy. To maximize safety, do not allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat.
*2) Never install a child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
WARNING
Riding in an improper position or
placing weight on the front passen-
ger's seat when it is unoccupied by
a passenger adversely affects the
Occupant Detection System (ODS).
Your ODS is designed to resist
electronic waves, but do not place
an electronic device (ex. laptop
computer, after market DMB/navi-
gation/satellite audio, video game
machine, MP3, etc.) on or near the
seat cushion since it may defeat
the proper functioning of the ODS
or turn on the air bag warning light. (Continued)

Safety features of your vehicle
When an adult is seated in the front pas-
senger seat, if the PASSENGER AIR
BAG “OFF” indicator is on, turn the igni-
tion switch to the LOCK position and ask
the passenger to sit properly (sitting
upright with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor).
Restart the engine and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow the
system to detect the person and to
enable the passenger air bag.If the PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indi-
cator is still on, ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat.
✽ ✽
NOTICEThe PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position or after the engine is
started. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, the occupant detection sensor
will then classify the front passenger
after several more seconds.

WARNING
Do not put a heavy load or an active
electronic device (ex. laptop com-
puter, after market DMB/naviga-
tion/satellite audio, video game
machine, MP3, etc.) in the front pas-
senger seatback pocket or on the
front passenger seat. Do not hang
onto the front passenger seat. Do
not hang any items such as seat-
back table on the front passenger
seatback. Do not place feet on the
front passenger seatback. Do not
place any items under the front
passenger seat. Any of these could
interfere with proper sensor opera-
tion or turn on the air bag warning
light.
Proper position
WARNING
Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator is illuminated because the air
bag will not deploy in the event of a
crash. If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator remains illuminated
after the adult passenger reposi-
tions themselves properly and the
car is restarted, have the passenger
move to the rear seat because the
passenger's front air bag will not
deploy.
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator will not change according
to the occupants posture after the
vehicle has been running for 30
seconds.
Front seat passengers must stay
properly seated to avoid serious
injury from a deploying air bag.

WARNING
 Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
detection system, never install a
child restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A deploying air
bag can forcefully strike a child
resulting in serious injuries or
death. Any child age 12 and
under should ride in the rear seat.
Children too large for child
restraints should use the avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. No matter
what type of crash, children of all
ages are safer when restrained in
the rear seat.
 If the PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator is illuminated
when the front passenger's seat
is occupied by an adult and
he/she sits properly (sitting
upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with their seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor), have
that person sit in the rear seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Accident statistics show that chil-dren are safer if they are
restrained in the rear, as opposed
to the front seat. It is recommend-
ed that child restraints be secured
in a rear seat, including an infant
riding in a rear-facing infant seat,
a child riding in a forward-facing
child seat and an older child rid-
ing in a booster seat.
 Air bags can only be used once – have an authorized KIA dealer
replace the air bag immediately
after deployment.
 The occupant detection system may not work properly if water,
coffee or any other liquid includ-
ing rain gets on the seat. Keep
the front seat dry at all times.
 Do not place an electronic device (ex. laptop computer, after market
DMB/navigation/satellite audio,
video game machine, MP3, etc.)
on the front passenger seat. Its
electronic field may cause the
ODS to switch to the "on" condi-
tion and thus turn on the air bag
warning light or allow the pas-
senger airbag to deploy need-
lessly in a collision, increasing
your repair costs.
(Continued)
 If the front passenger seat is
occupied by a child who is not in
a CRS, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator may or may
not be on and the passenger
airbag may or may not deploy in a
collision. Have the child move to
a rear seat to increase their safe-
ty.
 Do not modify or replace the front passenger seat. Don't place any-
thing on or attach anything such
as a blanket or seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can
adversely affect the occupant
detection system.
 Do not place sharp objects on the front passenger seat. These may
damage the occupant detection
system, if they puncture the seat
cushion.
 Do not use accessory seat cov- ers on the front seats.
