•If the installation location or angleof the sensors is altered in anyway, the air bags may deploywhen they should not or they maynot deploy when they should,causing severe injury or death.Therefore, do not try to performmaintenance on or around the airbag sensors. Have the systemserviced by a professional work‐shop. Kia recommends to visit anauthorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•Problems may arise if the sensorinstallation angles are changed dueto the deformation of the frontbumper, body or B pillars whereside collision sensors are installed.In this case, have the system serv‐iced by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.

Front air bags are designed to inflate in
a frontal collision depending on the in‐ tensity, speed or angles of impact of
the front collision.

SRS care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safe‐
ly service by yourself. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, have the sys‐
tem inspected by a professional work‐ shop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
•Modification to SRS components orwiring, including the addition ofany kind of badges to the pad cov‐ers or modifications to the bodystructure, can adversely affectSRS performance and lead to pos‐sible injury.
•For cleaning the air bag pad cov‐ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistenedwith plain water. Solvents or clean‐ers could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deploymentof the system.

(Continued)
•No objects should be placed overor near the air bag modules on thesteering wheel, instrument panel,and 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 to in‐flate.
•If the air bags inflate, have thesystem replaced by a professionalworkshop.Kia recommends to visit an au‐thorized Kia dealer/service part‐ner.
•Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring, or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing so couldresult in injury, due to accidentalinflation of the air bags or by ren‐dering the SRS inoperative.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•If components of the air bag sys‐tem must be discarded, or if thevehicle must be scrapped, certainsafety precautions must be ob‐served. An authorized Kia dealerknows these precautions and cangive you the necessary informa‐tion. Failure to follow these pre‐cautions and procedures could in‐crease the risk of personal injury.
•If your car was flooded and hassoaked carpeting or water onflooring, you shouldn't try to startthe engine; in this case, have yourvehicle inspected by a professionalworkshop. Kia recommends tocontact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

tance that the vehicle has been driven and should be used to determine when
periodic maintenance should be per‐
formed.
- Odometer range: 0 ~ 1,599,999 km or
999,999 miles.

This gauge indicates the current out‐
side air temperatures by 1°C (1°F).
- Temperature range :
- Type A : - 40°C ~ 85°C (- 40°F ~
199°F)
- Type B : - 40°C ~ 85°C (- 40°F ~

Climate control air filter (if
equipped)
A : Outside air
B : Recirculated air
C : Climate control air filterD : Blower
E : Evaporator core
F : Heater core
The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or other pollutants that come into the ve‐
hicle from the outside through the
heating and air conditioning system. If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air flow from the air vents may de‐
crease, resulting in moisture accumula‐ tion on the inside of the windshield
even when the outside (fresh) air posi‐
tion is selected. If this happens, have the climate control air filter replaced by
a professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/ service partner.
NOTICE
•Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is being driven in se‐
vere conditions such as dusty or
rough roads, more frequent air
conditioner filter inspections and
changes are required.
•When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, have the system
checked by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
