• No objects should be placed over
or
near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel
or the front passenger's panel
above the glove box, because any
such object could cause harm if
the vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags to
deploy.
• Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS
wiring or other components of
the SRS system. Doing so could re‐
sult in injury, due to accidental de‐
ployment of the air bags or by
rendering the SRS inoperative.
• If the SRS air bag warning light re‐
mains illuminated while the vehicle
is being driven. In this case, have
the system inspected by a profes‐
sional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner
• Air bags can only be used once –
have the system replaced by a
professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.

• The SRS is designed to deploy the
front
air bags only when an impact
is sufficiently severe. Additionally,
the air bags will only deploy once.
Seat belts must be worn at all
times.
• Front air bags are not intended to
deploy
in side-impact, rear-impact
or rollover crashes. In addition,
front air bags will not deploy in
frontal crashes below the deploy‐
ment threshold.
• A child restraint system must nev‐
er be placed in the front seat. The
infant or child could be severely in‐
jured or killed by an air bag deploy‐
ment in case of an accident.
• Children age 12 and under must al‐
ways be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to
ride in the front passenger seat. If
a child over 12 must be seated in
the front seat, he or she must be
properly belted and the seat
should be moved as far back as
possible.

• For maximum safety protection in
all
types of crashes, all occupants
including the driver should always
wear their seat belts whether or
not an air bag is also provided at
their seating position to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash.
Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bag while the vehi‐
cle is in motion.
• Sitting improperly or out of posi‐
tion
can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, cen‐
tered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comforta‐
bly extended and their feet on the
floor until the vehicle is parked and
the Engine Start/Stop button is in
the OFF position.
