Airbag system components The main components of your SRS
are:
 To indicate that your vehicle isequipped with airbags, the corre-
sponding airbag covers are
marked with “SRS AIRBAG”.
- Driver’s airbag (see page 3- 59)
- Passenger’s airbag (see page 3- 60)
- Side airbag (if equipped, see page 3- 67)
- Curtain airbag (if equipped, see page 3- 67)
 A diagnostic system that continual- ly monitors the system operation.
 Airbag warning light to warn you of a possible problem with the sys-
tem.
 Emergency power backup in case your car’s electrical system is dis-
connected in a crash. The SRS uses a collection of sen-
sors to gather information about the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat
position, the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s safety belt usage and
impact severity.
The driver's and front passenger's
seat position sensors, which are
installed on the seat track let the
airbag control module know where
the seats are positioned. Similarly,
the safety belt usage sensors meas-
ure if the driver and front passenger’s
safety belts are fastened. These sen-
sors provide the ability to control the
SRS deployment based on how
close the driver’s seat is to the steer-
ing wheel, how close the passen-
ger’s seat is to the instrument panel,
whether or not the safety belts are
fastened, and the severity of the
impact.
(Continued)
 If your vehicle has been sub-
jected to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehi-
cle, 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. Have the vehicle
towed to an authorized Kia
dealer for inspection and nec-
essary repairs.
Disregarding this precaution
may cause an unexpected
airbag deployment, which
could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.

The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the airbag inflation with two
levels. A first stage level is provided
for moderate-severity impacts. A sec-
ond stage level is provided for more
severe impacts.
According to the impact severity,
seating position and safety belt
usage, the SRS Control Module con-
trols the airbag inflation.
Additionally, your SRS is equipped
with an occupant classification sys-
tem in the front passenger’s seat.
The occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger
in the front passenger’s seat and will
turn off the front passenger’s airbag
under certain conditions in order to
protect smaller front passenger seat
occupants. For more detail, see
“Occupant Classification System”
later in this section.
WARNING
- Seating sen-
sors malfunction
If the seat position sensor is not
working properly, the airbag
warning light ( ) on the instru-
ment panel will illuminate
because the airbag warning
light is connected with the seat
position sensor. If the airbag
warning light does not illumi-
nate when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, if it
remains illuminated after illumi-
nating for approximately 6 sec-
onds, or if it illuminates while
the vehicle is being driven, have
an authorized Kia dealer inspect
your vehicle as soon as possi-
ble.
AIR
BAG
WARNING
- Seat usage
 Modification to the seat struc- ture can damage the seat
position sensor and cause the
airbag to deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
 Do not place any objects underneath the front seats
since they could damage the
seat position sensor or inter-
fere with the occupant classi-
fication 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.

Knowing your vehicle
Always be sure that you and all vehi-
cle occupants are seated and
restrained properly (sitting upright
with the seat in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion, with
the person’s legs comfortably
extended, feet on the floor, and wear-
ing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the
airbag and the safety belt.
 The “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”indicator illuminates after the igni-
tion key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion or after the engine is started. If
the front passenger’s seat is occu-
pied by very small person, the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator will remain illuminated. If the
front passenger’s seat is occupied
by a person of adult size, the “PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator
will turn off after 4 seconds.  If the front passenger's seat is
unoccupied, the “PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF” indicator will turn
on, and the front passenger's
airbag will not deploy in frontal
crashes.
 If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator illuminates, the front
passenger’s airbag will not deploy
in frontal crashes.
 If the front passenger’s seat is occupied by a person of adult size,
the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator is not illuminated and the
front passenger’s airbag will deploy
in frontal crashes.
WARNING
Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
classification system, do not
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat
since a child restraint may
result in an improper reading by
the seat sensor. The infant/child
could be severely injured or
killed by an airbag deployment
in case of an accident.

CAUTION
If the occupant classification
system is not working properly,
the airbag warning light ( ) on
the instrument panel will illumi-
nate because the passenger’s
airbag is connected with the
occupant classification system.
If there is a malfunction of the
occupant classification system,
the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator will illuminate
and the front passenger's
airbag will not deploy in frontal
crashes even if there is adult
occupant in the front passen-
ger's seat.(Continued)

(Continued)
Have an authorized Kia dealer
inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system with the SRS airbag
system as soon as possible if
any of following occur;
 The SRS airbag warning light
does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to "ON"
position.
 The SRS airbag warning light remains illuminated after illu-
minating for approximately 6
seconds.
 The SRS airbag warning light illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven.
WARNING
 The occupant classificationsystem can function only
when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position.
 For very small person, the occupant classification sys-
tem may or may not turn off
the right front passenger's
frontal airbag, depending
upon the person's seating
posture and body build.
Everyone in your vehicle
should wear a safety belt
properly -- whether or not
there is an air bag for that per-
son.
(Continued)
WARNING
If the front passenger seat
should be modified for persons
with disabilities that may affect
the operation of the occupant
classification system, contact
an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING
- Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous even if the key is not
in the ignition. Children copy
adults and they could place the
key in the ignition. The ignition
key would enable children to
operate power windows or other
controls, or even make the vehi-
cle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even
death. Never leave the keys in
your vehicle with unsupervised
children.
