Seat and safety features of your vehicle

Problems may arise if the sensor
installation angles are changed due to
the deformation of the front bumper,
body, front door or C Pillar where the
collision sensors are installed. Have
the vehicle checked and repaired by
an authorized K900 Kia dealer.
Installing aftermarket bumper guards
or replacing a bumper with non-gen-
uine parts may adversely affect your
vehicle’s collision and air bag deploy-
ment performance.

Air bag inflation conditions

Front air bags

Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
the intensity, speed or angles of
impact of the front collision.

OKH033084N

Air bag sensors

• Do not hit or allow any objects

to impact the locations where
air bag or sensors are
installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, which
could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.

• If the installation location or

angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should.
Therefore, do not try to per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
Have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized
K900 Kia dealer.

The actual air bags in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.

Side air bags

Side air bags (side and/or curtain air
bags) are designed to inflate when
an impact is detected by side colli-
sion sensors depending on the
strength, speed or angles of impact
resulting from a side impact collision.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
and front passenger’s air bags) are
designed to inflate in frontal colli-
sions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient frontal
force in another type of impact. Side
and curtain air bags are designed to
inflate only in side impact collisions
or rollover situations, but they may
inflate in other collisions if the side
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads or sidewalks, air bags may
deploy. Drive carefully on unim-
proved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.

Air bag non-inflation conditions

• In certain low-speed collisions the

air bags may not deploy. The air
bags are designed not to deploy in
such cases because they may not
provide benefits beyond the pro-
tection of the seat belts in such col-
lisions.

Seat and safety features of your vehicle

• Air bags are not designed to inflate

in rear collisions, because occu-
pants are moved backward by the
force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not be able
to provide any additional benefit.

• Front air bags may not inflate in

side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side
impacts, front air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-
pant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate depending on the
severity, vehicle speed and angles
of impact.

• In a slant or angled collision, the

force of impact may direct the
occupants in a direction where the
air bags would not be able to pro-
vide any additional benefit, and
thus the sensors may not deploy
any air bags.

• Just before impact, drivers often

brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
replaced by such “underride” colli-
sions.

• Front air bags may not inflate in

rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide pro-
tection to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact colli-
sion.

• Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-

cle 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 sen-
sors.

SRS Care

The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and there are no parts you can
safely service by yourself. If the SRS
air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate, or continuously remains on,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized K900 Kia
dealer.

Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel must
be performed by an authorized K900
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. Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag covers
and proper deployment of the sys-
tem.

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 K900 Kia dealer knows
these precautions and can give you
the necessary information. Failure to
follow these precautions and proce-
dures could increase the risk of per-
sonal injury.

Adding equipment to or modi-
fying your air bag-equipped
vehicle

If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system,
front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle's air bag system.

Tampering with SRS

Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring, or other compo-
nents of the SRS system. Doing
so could result in the accidental
inflation of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.

the vehicle, if necessary, and con-
tact an authorized K900 Kia dealer.

• A maximum of 2 smart keys can be

registered to a single vehicle. If you
lose a smart key, you should imme-
diately take the vehicle and key to
your authorized K900 Kia dealer to
protect it from potential theft.

• The smart key will not work if any

of following occurs:
- The smart key is close to a radio

transmitter such as a radio sta-
tion or an airport which can inter-
fere with normal operation of the
smart key.

- The smart key near a mobile

two-way radio system or a cellu-
lar phone.

- Another vehicle’s smart key is

being operated close to your
vehicle.

When the smart key does not work
correctly, open and close the door
with the mechanical key. If you
have a problem with the smart key,
contact an authorized K900 Kia
dealer.

• If the smart key is in close proximity

to your cell phone or smart phone,
the signal from the smart key could
be blocked by normal operation of
your cell phone or smart phone.
This is especially important when
the phone is active such as making
