•Air bags can only be used once -have the system replaced by aprofessional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•The SRS is designed to deploy thefront air bags only when an impactis sufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° fromthe forward longitudinal axis ofthe vehicle. Additionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Seatbelts must be worn at all times.
•Front air bags are not intended todeploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition,front air bags will not deploy infrontal crashes below the deploy‐ment threshold.
•A child restraint system must nev‐er be placed in the front seat. Theinfant or child could be severely in‐jured or killed by an air bag deploy‐ment in case of an accident.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Children age 12 and under must al‐ways be properly restrained in therear seat. Never allow children toride in the front passenger seat. Ifa child over 12 must be seated inthe front seat, he or she must beproperly belted and the seatshould be moved as far back aspossible.
•For maximum safety protection inall types of crashes, all occupantsincluding the driver should alwayswear their seat belts whether ornot an air bag is also provided attheir seating position to minimizethe risk of severe injury or death inthe event of a crash. Do not sit orlean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in motion.

•Sitting improperly or out of posi‐tion can result in serious or fatalinjury in a crash. All occupantsshould sit upright with the seatback in an upright position, cen‐tered on the seat cushion withtheir seat belt on, legs comforta‐bly extended and their feet on thefloor until the vehicle is parked andthe ignition key is removed.
•The SRS air bag system must de‐ploy very rapidly to provide pro‐tection in a crash. If an occupant isout of position because of notwearing a seat belt, the air bagmay forcefully contact the occu‐pant causing serious or fatal inju‐ries.
