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 mea-
sure if the driver and front passen-
ger’s safety belts are fastened. These
sensors 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.(Continued)
If occupants are not wearingsafety belts or correctly seat-
ed, they cannot be fully pro-
tected, and thus face a greater
risk of serious injury or death.
Driver’s and front passenger’s airbag are designed to inflate
only in certain frontal colli-
sion, and side and curtain
airbags are designed to inflate
in certain side impacts.
Frontal airbags are not
designed to provide protec-
tion in side impacts, rear
impacts, rollovers, or less
severe frontal collisions. They
will not provide protection
from later impacts in a multi-
impact collision.

Front passenger’s airbag
Front passenger’s airbag is stored in
the instrument panel on the glove
box.
Never put any objects or ornaments
on the instrument panel.
Occupant classification system
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.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and deter-
mine if the front passenger’s airbag
should be enabled (may inflate) or
not.If there is no passenger in the front
passenger seat or if the passenger in
the front passenger's seat is very
small (such as a child), the front PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator
may go ON.
When this indicator is ON, the front
passenger's air bag will not deploy.
The side air bag will not deploy if the
front seat is unoccupied.
The side air bag may deploy if the
front seat is occupied by a small
occupant.

Main components of occupant
classification system
A detection device located within
the front passenger seat track.
Electronic system to determine whether passenger air bag sys-
tems (both front and side) should
be activated or deactivated.
A warning light located on the instrument panel which illuminates
the words PASSENGER AIR BAG
“OFF” indicating the front passen-
ger air bag system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag warn- ing light is interconnected with the
occupant classification system. 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 air
bag and the safety belt.
The OCS (Occupant Classification
System) may not function properly
if the passenger takes actions
which can defeat the detection sys-
tem. These include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright posi- tion.
(2) Leaning against the door or cen- ter console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or resting them on other locations
which reduce the passenger
weight on the front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety
belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back. 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.

CAUTION
If the occupant classification
system is not working properly,the airbag warning light ( ) onthe instrument panel will illumi-nate because the passenger’sairbag is connected with theoccupant classification system.If there is a malfunction of theoccupant classification system,the PASSENGER AIR BAG“OFF” indicator will illuminateand the front passenger'sairbag will not deploy in frontalcrashes even if there is adultoccupant in the front passen-ger's seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)Have an authorized Kia dealerinspect the occupant classifica-tion system with the SRS airbagsystem as soon as possible ifany of following occur;
The SRS airbag warning light does not illuminate when theignition key is turned to "ON"position.
The SRS airbag warning light remains illuminated after illu-minating for approximately 6seconds.
The SRS airbag warning light illuminates while the vehicle isbeing driven.
WARNING
The occupant classification system 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.

If the driver brakes the vehicleheavily in an urgent situa-
tions, occupants will be
thrown forward. If front pas-
sengers are not wearing the
safety belts, they will be
directly in front of the storage
compartment when inflation
occurs. In that situation, seri-
ous injury or death is possi-
ble.
Never allow front passenger to put their hands or feet on
the instrument panel or put
their face close to the instru-
ment panel. The airbag will
impact the front passenger
when it inflates.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never allow children/old and feeble persons/pregnant
women to sit on the front pas-
senger’s seat. Do not put child
restraint systems on the front
passenger’s seat either. They
may be seriously injured by
the airbag inflation when
airbag deploys.
Do not put objects or stickers on the instrument panel. Do
not apply any accessory on
the front windshield glass or
do not install aftermarket mir-
rors or accessories on the fac-
tory installed rearview mirror.
These may interfere with the
deployment of airbag inflation
or could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodi-
ly injury and even death.WARNING
The front seat passenger’sairbag is much larger than the
steering wheel airbag and
inflates with considerably
more force. It can seriously
hurt or kill a passenger who is
not in the proper position and
wearing the safety belt proper-
ly. The front passengers
should always move their seat
as far back as practical and sit
back in their seat.
It is essential that the front passengers always wear their
safety belts, even when the
vehicle is moving in a parking
lot or up a driveway into
garage. (Continued)

Noise and smoke
When the airbags inflate, they make
a loud noise and they leave smoke
and powder in the air inside of the
vehicle. This is normal. After the
airbag inflates, you may feel sub-
stantial discomfort in breathing due
to the contact of your chest to both
the safety belt and the airbag, as well
as from breathing the smoke and
powder. We strongly urge you to
open your doors and/or windows
as soon as possible after impact
in order to reduce discomfort and
prevent prolonged exposure to
the smoke and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause irritation
(eyes, nose and throat etc). Wash
and rinse with cold water immediate-
ly and consult the doctor if the symp-
tom persists.WARNING - Seated posi-
tioning
Driver should sit as far back from the steering wheel airbag
as possible to reduce the risk
of injury or death in a collision
(at least 250 mm (10 inches)
away). The front passenger
should always move their seat
as far back as possible and sit
back in their seat.
Airbags inflate instantly in an event of collision and passen-
gers may be injured by the
airbag expansion force if they
are too close to the dash-
board.
Airbag inflation may cause injuries which normally
include facial or bodily abra-
sions, injuries from broken
eyeglasses or burns from the
airbag gases.WARNING- Hot airbag
parts
When the airbags deploy, the
airbag related parts in steering
wheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof
rails above the front and rear
doors are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch the airbag
storage area’s internal compo-
nents immediately after an
airbag has inflated.

Knowing your vehicle
Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger’s seat is for-
bidden.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the airbag deploys, it would
impact the rear-facing child restraint,
causing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passen-
ger’s seat either. If the front passen-
ger airbag inflates, it would cause
serious or fatal injuries to the child.
Airbag warning light
The purpose of the airbag warning
light in your instrument panel is to
alert you of a potential problem with
your airbag - Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS).
WARNING- Childrestraints
Never put a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If
the front passenger airbag
inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, be
sure to secure the child
restraint system into a locked
in position.
