in proper position to obtain maxi‐

Ev
en with air bags, improperly and
unbelted occupants can be severely
injured when the air bag inflates. Al‐
ways follow the precautions about
seat belts, air bags and occupant
safety contained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries and receive the maxi‐
mum safety benefit from your re‐
straint system:
• Never place a child in any child or
booster seat in the front seat.
• ABC – Always Buckle Children in
the
back seat. It is the safest place
for children of any age to ride.
• Front and side air bags can injure
occupants improperly positioned in
the front seats.
• Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air bags,
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.

• You and your passengers should
ne
ver sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bags. Improperly
positioned drivers and passengers
can be severely injured by inflating
air bags.
• Never lean against the door or
center
console – always sit in an
upright position.
• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel,
and 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, have the system
inspected by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
• Air bags can only be used once –
hav
e 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 and when the
impact angle is less than 30° from
the forward longitudinal axis of
the vehicle. 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.
