3-53 Supplemental Restraint System Service
Your Supplemental Restraint System is virtually main-
tenance-free. There are no parts which you can service.
You must have the system serviced under the following
circumstances:
 If an air bag ever inflates, the air bag must be
replaced. Do not try to remove or discard the air bag
by yourself. This must be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
 If the air bag warning indicator light alerts you of a
problem, have the air bag system checked as soon as
possible. Otherwise, your air bag might not inflate
when you need it.
WARNING -SRS Modifications
 Do not modify your steering wheel or any
other part of the Supplemental Restraint
System. Modification could make the system
ineffective.
 Do not work on the system’s components or
wiring. This could cause the air bags to
inflate inadvertently, possibly seriously
injuring someone. Working on the system
could also disable the system so that the air
bags did not deploy in a collision.

4-19 Disc Brake Wear Indicators
Your vehicle has front disc brakes.
When your front brake pads are worn and it’s time for
new pads, you will hear a high-pitched warning sound
from your front brakes. You may hear this sound inter-
mittently or constantly.Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when you first apply, or lightly apply, the
brakes. This is normal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.
Rear Drum BrakesYour rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators.
Have the rear brake linings inspected if you hear a rear
brake rubbing noise. Also, have your rear brakes
inspected each time you change or rotate your tires and
when you have the front brakes replaced.
WARNING - Brake Wear
This brake-wear warning sound means your
vehicle needs service. If you ignore this audible
warning, you will eventually lose braking per-
formance, which could lead to a serious acci-
dent.✽
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not continue to
drive with worn brake pads.
CAUTION
Always replace brake linings or front pads as
complete front or rear axle sets.
