airbag system checked as soon as
possible. Otherwise, your airbag
system may be ineffective.

deploy in a collision.
Any work on the airbag sys- tem, such as removing,
installing, or repairing the

formed by a qualified Kia tech-
nician. Improper handling of
the airbag system including
the steering wheel may result
in serious personal injury or
