Front passenger's air bag warning
label for child restraint system
WARNING
Never place a rear facing child re‐
straint in the front passenger seat,
unless the passenger-side air bag is
deactivated. An inflating passenger-
side air bag could impact the rear-
facing child restraint and kill the
child.
In addition, we recommend that you do
not place ýront-ýacinþ child restraints
in the ýront passenþer s seat either. Iý
the ýront passenþer air baþ inýlates, it
could cause serious or ýatal injuries to
the child.
Iý your vehicle is equipped with the pas‐
senþer s ýront air baþ ON/OFF switch,
you can activate or deactivate the
ýront passenþer s air baþ when neces‐
sary.

WARNING
If any of the following conditions oc‐
curs, this indicates a malfunction of
the SRS. In this case, have the sys‐
tem inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
• The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays on after illuminat‐
ing for approximately 6 seconds.
• The light comes on while the vehi‐
cle is in motion.
• The light blinks when the ignition
switch is in ON position.
The ýront air baþ modules are located
both in the center oý the steerinþ
wheel and in the ýront passenþer's pan‐
el above the þlove box. When the
SRSCM detects a suýýiciently severe im‐
pact to the ýront oý the vehicle, it will
automatically deploy the ýront air baþs.
Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will sepa‐
rate under pressure ýrom the expan‐
sion oý the air baþs. Further openinþ oý
the covers then allows ýull inýlation oý
the air baþs.

A ýully inýlated air baþ, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows
the driver's or the passenþer's ýorward
motion, reducinþ the risk oý head and
chest injury.
Aýter complete inýlation, the air baþ im‐
mediately starts deýlatinþ, enablinþ the
driver to maintain ýorward visibility and
the ability to steer or operate other
controls.
WARNING
• Do not install or place any acces‐
sories (drink holder, cassette hold‐
er, sticker, etc.) on the front pas‐
senger's panel above the glove box
in a vehicle with a passenger's air
bag. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the passenger's air bag in‐
flates.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• When installing a container of liq‐
uid air freshener inside the vehicle,
do not place it near the instrument
cluster nor on the instrument pan‐
el surface.
It may become a dangerous pro‐
jectile and cause injury if the pas‐
senger's air bag inflates.
WARNING
• If an air bag deploys, there may be
a loud noise followed by a fine
dust released in the vehicle. These
conditions are normal and are not
hazardous - the air bags are
packed in this fine powder. The
dust generated during air bag de‐
ployment may cause skin or eye
irritation as well as aggravate
asthma for some persons. Always
wash all exposed skin areas thor‐
oughly with cold water and mild
soap after an accident in which the
air bags were deployed.

light does not illuminate, or contin‐
uously remains on after illuminat‐
ing for about 6 seconds when the
ignition key is turned to the ON
position, or after the engine is
started, comes on while driving,
the SRS is not working properly. In
this case, have the system inspec‐
ted by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
• Before you replace a fuse or dis‐
connect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK po‐
sition and remove the ignition key.
Never remove or replace the air
bag related fuse(s) when the igni‐
tion switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning will

WARNING
Always use seat belts and child re‐
straints – every trip, every time, ev‐
eryone! Air bags inflate with consid‐
erable force and in the blink of an
eye. Seat belts help keep occupants
in proper position to obtain maxi‐
mum benefit from the air bag. Even
with air bags, improperly and unbel‐
ted occupants can be severely in‐
jured 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:
• ABC – We recommend to always
Buckle Children in the 2nd row
seat. It is the safest place for chil‐
dren of any age to ride.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• 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
never 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.
• Do not allow a passenger to ride in
the front seat when the passeng‐
er’s front air bag OFF indicator is
illuminated, because the air bag
will not deploy in the event of a
moderate or severe frontal crash.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• 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, 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 –
have the system replaced by a
professional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia
dealer/service partner.

(Continued)
• The SRS is designed to deploy the
front air bags 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. However, when
frontal deployment threshold is
satisfied at side-impact, front air
bags may deploy.
In addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment 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. 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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• 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 ignition key is removed.
• The SRS air bag system must de‐
ploy very rapidly to provide pro‐
tection in a crash. If an occupant is
out of position because of not
wearing a seat belt, the air bag
may forcefully contact the occu‐
pant causing serious or fatal inju‐
ries.

seat unless the passenger's front
air bag has been deactivated. The
infant or child could be severely in‐
jured or killed by an air bag deploy‐
ment in case of an accident.
• Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. Chil‐
dren are afforded the most safety
in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper re‐
straint system in the rear seat.
• As soon as the child seat is no lon‐
ger needed on the front passeng‐

WARNING
• The side air bag is supplemental to
the driver's and the passenger's
seat belt systems and is not a
substitute for them. Therefore
your seat belts must be worn at all
times while the vehicle is in mo‐
tion. The air bags deploy only in
certain side impact conditions se‐
vere enough to cause significant
injury to the vehicle occupants.
• For best protection from the side
air bag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side air
bag, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright position
with the seat belt properly fas‐
tened. The driver's hands should
be placed on the steering wheel at
the 9:00 and 3:00 positions.
The passenger's arms and hands
should be placed on their laps.
• Do not use any accessory seat
covers.
• Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the

Front air baþs
Front air baþs are desiþned to inýlate in
a ýrontal collision dependinþ on the se‐

Side and curtain air baþs (iý equipped)
Side and curtain air baþs are desiþned
to inýlate when an impact is detected
by side collision sensors dependinþ on
the severity oý impact resultinþ ýrom a
side impact collision.
Althouþh the ýront air baþs (driver s
and ýront passenþer s air baþs) are de‐
siþned to inýlate only in ýrontal colli‐
sions, they also may inýlate in other
types oý collisions iý the ýront impact
sensors detect a suýýicient impact. Side
air baþs (side and/or curtain air baþs)
are desiþned to inýlate only in side im‐
pact collisions, but they may inýlate in
other collisions iý the side impact sen‐
sors detect a suýýicient impact.
Iý the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads
or sidewalks, air baþs may deploy. Drive
careýully on unimproved roads or on
surýaces not desiþned ýor vehicle traýýic
to prevent unintended air baþ deploy‐
ment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
• In certain low-speed collisions the air
baþs may not deploy. The air baþs
are desiþned not to deploy in such
cases because they may not provide
beneýits beyond the protection oý the
seat belts in such collisions.
Saýety ýeatures oý your vehicle
4-62
• Air baþs are not desiþned to inýlate in
rear collisions, because occupants are
moved backward by the ýorce oý the
impact. In this case, inýlated air baþs
would not be able to provide any ad‐
ditional beneýit.
• Front air baþs may not inýlate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move to the direction oý the collision,
and thus in side impacts, ýront air
baþ deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
• However, iý equipped with side and
curtain air baþs, the air baþs may in‐
ýlate dependinþ on the severity oý
impact.
• In an anþled collision, the ýorce oý im‐
pact may direct the occupants in a di‐
rection where the air baþs would not
be able to provide any additional ben‐
eýit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air baþs.
• Just beýore impact, drivers oýten
brake heavily. Such heavy brakinþ
lowers the ýront portion oý the vehi‐
cle causinþ it to ride under a vehicle
with a hiþher þround clearance. Air
baþs may not inýlate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
ýorces that are detected by sensors
may be siþniýicantly reduced by such
under-ride collisions.
• Front air baþs may not inýlate in roll‐
over accidents because ýront air baþ
deployment would not provide addi‐
tional occupant protection.
• Air baþs may not inýlate iý the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point oý im‐
pact is concentrated to one area and
the ýull ýorce oý the impact is not de‐

The SRS is virtually maintenance-ýree
and so there are no parts you can saýe‐
ly service by yourselý. Iý the SRS air baþ
warninþ liþht does not illuminate, or
continuously remains on, have the sys‐
tem inspected by a proýessional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
• Modification to SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of
any kind of badges to the pad cov‐
ers or modifications to the body
structure, can adversely affect
SRS performance and lead to pos‐
sible injury.
• For cleaning the air bag pad cov‐
ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or
one which has been moistened
with plain water. Solvents or clean‐
ers could adversely affect the air
bag covers and proper deployment
of the system.
• 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 in‐
flate.
