WARNING - Air bags &
safety belts
Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers
must always wear the safety
belts provided in order to min-
imize the risk and severity of
injury in the event of a colli-
sion or rollover.
•Always wear your safety belt.
It can help keep you away
from the air bags during heavy
braking just before a collision.
It may also reduce the risk of
occupant ejection.
If occupants are not wearing
safety belts or correctly seat-
ed, they cannot be protected,
and thus face serious injury or
death.

Driver’s and front passenger’s
air bag are designed to inflate
only in certain frontal colli-
sions, and side and curtain air
bags (if equipped) are
designed to inflate in certain
side impacts. Frontal air bag
will generally not provide pro-
tection in side impacts (vehi-
cles not equipped with side
and curtain air bags) or rear
impacts, rollovers,less severe
frontal collisions. They will not
provide protection from later
impacts in a multi-impact col-
lision.

If your vehicle has been sub-
jected to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehi-
cle, etc.) or if your vehicle has
become flood damaged in any
way, do not attempt to start
the vehicle or put the key in
the ignition before discon-
necting the battery.
Disregarding this precaution
may cause air bag deploy-
ment, which could result in
serious personal injury or
death. If your vehicle is sub-
jected to flooded conditions,
before starting the vehicle,
have the vehicle towed to an
authorized Kia dealer for
inspection and necessary
repairs.
