Knowing your vehicle
When repairing or scrapping the
vehicles Repairing steering wheel, instru-
ment panel, center console or
roofs, or installing car audio around
center console or painting front
metal sheet could disable the
airbag system. Have them checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
When leaving the vehicle at an
authorized Kia dealer, inform the
facility that the vehicle is equipped
with airbag system, and leave the
owner’s manual in the vehicle.
Since airbag system contains
explosive chemical substances,
contact an authorized Kia dealer
when scrapping the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not modify any part of the
Supplemental Restraint System.
Excessive modification could
make the airbag system ineffec-
tive.
WARNING
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
components or wiring. This
could cause the airbags to
inflate inadvertently, possibly
seriously injuring someone.
Working on the system could
also disable the system so
that the airbags 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 tech-
nician. Improper handling of
the airbag system may result
in serious personal injury or
death.
