WARNING
Always use seat belts and child re‐straints – every trip, every time, ev‐eryone! Air bags inflate with consid‐erable force and in the blink of aneye. Seat belts help keep occupantsin proper position to obtain maxi‐mum benefit from the air bag. Evenwith air bags, improperly belted andunbelted occupants can be severelyinjured when the air bag inflates. Al‐ways follow the precautions aboutseat belts, air bags and occupantsafety contained in this manual.To reduce the chance of serious orfatal injuries and receive the maxi‐mum safety benefit from your re‐straint system:•Never place a child in any child orbooster seat in the front seat.
•ABC – Always Buckle Children inthe back seat. It is the safest placefor children of any age to ride.
•Front and side air bags can injureoccupants improperly positioned inthe front seats.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Move your seat as far back aspractical from the front air bags,while still maintaining control ofthe vehicle.
•You and your passengers shouldnever sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the air bags. Improperlypositioned drivers and passengerscan be severely injured by inflatingair bags.
•Never lean against the door orcenter console – always sit in anupright position.
•Do not allow a passenger to ride inthe front seat when the passeng‐er’s front air bag OFF indicator isilluminated, because the air bagwill not deploy in the event of amoderate or severe frontal crash.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•No objects should be placed overor near the air bag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument paneland the front passenger's panelabove the glove box, because anysuch object could cause harm ifthe vehicle is in a crash severeenough to cause the air bags todeploy.
•Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring or other components ofthe SRS system. Doing so could re‐sult in injury, due to accidental de‐ployment of the air bags or byrendering the SRS inoperative.
•If the SRS air bag warning light re‐mains illuminated while the vehicleis being driven, have the systeminspected by a professional work‐shop. Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.

•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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•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.
