How does the air bag system
operate
Air bags are activated (able toinflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
or START position.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of a serious frontal collision
or side collision in order to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
Also, the side and/or curtain air
bags inflate instantly in the event of
a rollover in order to help protect
the occupants from serious physi-
cal injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These
two factors determine whether the
sensors produce an electronic
deployment/ inflation signal. Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. The determin-
ing factors are not limited to those
mentioned above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an
accident.
It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags
must inflate rapidly. The speed of
the air bag inflation is a conse-
quence of extremely short time in
which a collision occurs and the
need to inflate the air bag between
the occupant and the vehicle struc-
tures before the occupant impacts
those structures. This speed of inflation reduces the
risk of serious or life-threatening
injuries in a severe collision and is
thus a necessary part of the air
bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and bro-
ken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the
steering wheel or passenger air
bag can cause fatal injuries,
especially if the occupant is
positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel or passenger
air bag.

To activate the immobilizer sys-tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi-
tion. The immobilizer system acti-
vates automatically. Without a valid
ignition key for your vehicle, the

Insert the ignition key into the key
cylinder and turn it to the ON posi-
tion.
In order to prevent theft of your vehi-
cle, do not leave spare keys or your
key number anywhere in the vehicle.
The ignition key and key number are
unique to your vehicle, and therefore,
should be kept confidential.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys
around. Otherwise the engine may
not start or may stop soon after it
starts. Keep each key separately in
order to avoid a starting malfunc-
tion.
Do not put metal accessories near
the ignition switch.
Metal accessories may interrupt the
transponder signal and may prevent
the engine from being started.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose
your keys, consult an authorized Kia
dealer.
CAUTION- Immobilizer
damage
Do not expose your immobilizer
system to moisture, static elec-tricity and rough handling. Thismay damage your immobilizer.
CAUTION- Immobilizer alterations
Do not change, alter or adjust
the immobilizer system becauseit could cause the immobilizersystem to malfunction.

Turn signal indicator
The blinking green arrows on the
instrument panel show the direction
indicated by the turn signals. If the
arrow comes on but does not blink,
blinks more rapidly than normal, or
does not illuminate at all, it indicates
a malfunction in the turn signal sys-
tem. You should consult your dealer
for repairs.

be used whenever you find it neces-
sary to stop the vehicle in a haz-
ardous location. When you must
make such an emergency stop,
always pull off the road as far as pos-
sible.
The hazard warning lights are turned
on by pushing in the hazard switch.
Both turn signal lights will blink. The
hazard warning lights will operate
even though the key is not in the igni-
tion switch.
To turn the hazard warning lights off,
push the switch again.

WARNING- Backing &
using camera
Never rely solely on the rear
view camera when backing. You
must always use methods of
viewing the area behind you
including looking over both
shoulders as well as continu-
ously checking all three rear
view mirrors. Due to the difficul-
ty of ensuring that the area
behind you remains clear,
always back slowly and stop
immediately if you even suspect
that a person, and especially a
child, might be behind you.
