Safety features of your vehicle
Side air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
air bag in each front seat. The pur-
pose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-
senger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt alone. The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
The side and/or curtain air bags do not only deploy on the side of the
impact but also on the opposite
side.
The side and/or curtain air bags on both sides of the vehicle will deploy
if a rollover or possible rollover is
detected.
The side air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or
rollover situations.
WARNING
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.
OPS033037
OPS033023
(Continued)
The SRS air bag system mustdeploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an
occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat
belt, the air bag may forcefully
contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.

fer from the illustration.

Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
(Continued)
Do not install any accessories
on the side or near the side air
bag.
Do not place any objects over the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.
Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat.
Such objects may become dan-
gerous projectiles and cause
injury if the supplemental side
air bag inflates.
To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side air bag that
may result in personal injury,
avoid impact to the side impact
sensor when the ignition
switch is on.
If seat or seat cover is dam- aged, have the vehicle checked
and repaired by an authorized
Kia dealer. Inform the dealer
that your vehicle is equipped
with side air bags and an occu-
pant detection system.WARNING
The side air bag is supple-mental to the driver's and the
passenger's seat belt systems
and is not a substitute for
them. Therefore your seat
belts must be worn at all times
while the vehicle is in opera-
tion.
For best protection from the side air bag system and to
avoid being injured by the
deploying side air bag, both
front seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steer-
ing wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger's
arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.
Do not use any accessory seat covers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effec-
tiveness of the system.

Safety features of your vehicle
They are designed to help protect
occupants in certain side impacts
and to help prevent them from eject-
ing out of the vehicle as a result of a
rollover, especially when the seat-
belts are also in use.
to deploy during certain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact.
The side and/or curtain air bags do not only deploy on the side of
the impact but also on the opposite
side.
Also, the curtain air bags on both sides of the vehicle will deploy in
certain rollover situations.
The curtain air bags are not designed to deploy in all side
impact or rollover situations.
WARNING
In order for side and curtainair bags to provide the best
protection, front seat occu-
pants and outboard rear occu-
pants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belts
properly fastened.
Importantly, children should
sit in a proper child restraint
system in the rear seat.
When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they
must be seated in the proper
child restraint system. Make
sure to position the child
restraint system as far away
from the door side as possi-
ble, and secure the child
restraint system in a locked
position.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not allow the passengersto lean their heads or bodies
against the doors, put their
arms on the doors, stretch
their arms out of the window
or place objects between the
doors and passengers when
they are seated on seats
equipped with side impact
and/or curtain air bags.
Never try to open or repair any components of the side and
curtain air bag system. This
should only be done by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-
tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle
occupants in an accident.

Safety features of your vehicle
Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
the intensity, speed or angles of
impact of the front collision.
1VQA2084
WARNING
Do not hit or allow any objectsto impact the locations where
air bags or sensors are
installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, which
could result in serious per-
sonal 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 per-
form 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 sen-sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, front
end module, body or front
doors and/or B pillar where
side collision sensors are
installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Installing bumper guards (or side step or running board) or
replacing a bumper (or front
door module) with non-gen-
uine parts may adversely
affect your vehicle’s collision
and air bag deployment per-
formance.

367
Safety features of your vehicle
Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-cle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees, where the
point of impact is concentrated to
one area and the full force of the
impact is not delivered to the sen-
sors.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and so there are no parts you can
safely service by yourself. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate, or continuously remains on,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, the
front passenger’s panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized Kia dealer. Improper
handling of the SRS system may
result in serious personal injury.WARNING
Modification to SRS compo-nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft, dry
cloth or one which has been
moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag
covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.

No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box, because any such
object could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags to
inflate.

369
Safety features of your vehicle
Do not place items under the
front seats. Placing items under
the front seats could interfere with
the operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing compo-
nents and wiring harnesses.
Never hold an infant or child on
your lap. The infant or child could
be seriously injured or killed in the
event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly
restrained in appropriate child
safety seats or seat belts in the
rear seat.Adding equipment to or modi-
fying your air bag-equipped
vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system,
front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle's air bag system.
WARNING
Sitting improperly or out of position can cause occupants
to be shifted too close to a
deploying air bag, strike the
interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle resulting in
serious injury or death.
Always sit upright with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat
cushion with your seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended
and your feet on the floor.
Always have the ignition OFF when the vehicle is being
towed or where it may other-
wise be tilted, since the side
and/or curtain air bags may
inflate if the sensors interpret
those tilt angles as a potential
rollover.
Be careful not to cause impact to the doors when the ignition
is ON. The air bags may inflate.

Air bag warning label
Air bag warning labels, some
required by the Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS),
are attached to the sunvisor to alert
the driver and passengers of poten-
tial risks of the air bag system.
