Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
efit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air bags.
僅 Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"under-ride" collisions.
僅 Front air bags may not inflate in all
rollover accidents when the SRSCM
indicates that the front air bag
deployment would not provide addi
-
tional occupant protection.
僅 Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area
and the full force of the impact is not
delivered to the sensors.
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself.
If the SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously remains on,
have your vehicle immediately inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel, the front
passenger's panel, front seats and roof
rails must be performed by an autho
-
rized Kia dealer. Improper handling of
the SRS system may result in serious
personal injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has
been moistened with plain water. Sol
-
vents or cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper deploy
-
ment of the system.
If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle must
be scrapped, certain safety precautions
must be observed. An authorized Kia
dealer knows these precautions and can
give you the necessary information. Fail
-
ure to follow these precautions and pro
-
cedures could increase the risk of
personal injury.
