 A damaged belt may not give
you the protection you need in
an accident.
 Inspect your safety belts peri-
odically for excessive wear or
damage. Pull out each belt
fully and look for fraying, cuts,
burns or other damage. Pull
the safety belt out and let it
retract a number of times.

Knowing your vehicle
Air bag system components The main components of your SRS
are:
To indicate that your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, the corre-
sponding air bag covers are
marked with “SRS AIR BAG”.
- Driver’ s air bag (see page 3- 65)
- Passenger’ s air bag(see page 3-
66)
- Side air bag (see page 3- 72)
- Curtain air bag (see page 3- 73)
 A diagnostic system that continual-
ly monitors the system operation.
 An indicator light to warn you of a
possible problem with the system.
 Emergency power backup in case
your car’ s electrical system is dis-
connected in a crash. The SRS uses a collection of sen-
sors to gather information about the
driver’
s and front passenger’ s seat
position, the driver’ s and front pas-
senger’ s safety belt usage and
impact severity.
The driver’ s and front passenger’ s
seat position sensors, which are
installed on the seat track, determine
if the seats are fore or aft of a refer-
ence position. Similarly, the safety
belt usage sensors determine if the
driver and front passenger’ s safety
belts are fastened. These sensors
provide the ability to control the SRS
deployment based on how close the
driver’ s seat is to the steering wheel,
how close the passenger’ s seat is to
the instrument panel, whether or not
the safety belts are fastened, and the
severity of the impact.
(Continued)
 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.

The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation with
two levels. A first stage level is pro-
vided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity,
seating position and safety belt
usage, the SRSCM (SRS Control
Module) controls the air bag inflation.
Failure to properly wear safety
belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your SRS is equipped
with an occupant classification sys-
tem in the front passenger’ s seat.
The occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger
in the front passenger’ s seat and will
turn off the front passenger ’s air bag
under certain conditions. For more
detail, see “Occupant Classification
System” later in this section.
CAUTION
If the seat position sensor is not
working properly, the SRS airbag warning light ( ) on theinstrument panel will illuminateeven if there is no malfunctionof the SRS air bag system,because the SRS air bag warn-ing light is connected with theseat position sensor. If the SRSair bag warning light does notilluminate when the ignition keyis turned to the "ON" position, ifit remains illuminated afterblinking for approximately 6seconds, or if it illuminateswhile the vehicle is being driv-en, have an authorized Kia deal-er inspect the seat position sen-sor and the advanced SRS airbag system as soon as possi-ble.
AIR
BAG
WARNING
 Modification to the seat struc-
ture can adversely affect the
seat position sensor and
cause the air bag to deploy at
a different level than should
be provided.
 Failure to properly wear safety
belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury by causing
the air bags to deploy at a dif-
ferent level than should be
provided.
 Do not place any objects
underneath the front seats
which could damage the seat
position sensor or interfere
with the occupant classifica-
tion system.
 Do not place any objects that
may cause magnetic fields
near the front seat. These may
cause a malfunction of the
seat position sensor.

 Ignoring the SRS indicator
light (air bag indicator and
passenger air bag off indica-
tor) can result in serious or
fatal injury if the air bags
occupant classification sys-
tem or pretensioners do not
work properly. Have your car
checked by a dealer as soon
as possible if the SRS warning
light alerts you to a potential
problem.
 Sitting improperly or out of
position can result in serious
or fatal injury in a crash. All
occupants should sit upright
in their seats with their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is
parked and the ignition key is
removed.
WARNING
You must always sit as far
back from the steering wheel
air bag as possible (chest at
least 10 inches (250 mm) away
from the steering wheel), while
still maintaining a comfortable
seating position for good
vehicle control, in order to
reduce the risk of injury or
death in a collision.
 Never place objects over the
air bag storage compartments
or between the air bags and
yourself. Due to the speed and
force of the air bag inflation,
such objects could hit your
body at high speed and cause
severe bodily injury and even
death.
 Do not put stickers or orna-
ments on the steering wheel
cover. These may interfere
with the deployment of the air
bag.

Knowing your vehicle
If there is no passenger in the front
passenger seat or if the passenger in
the front passenger seat is very light,
(such as a child), the front PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF indicator may
illuminate.
When this indicator is ON, neither
the front passenger front air bag nor
front passenger side air bag will
deploy in either a side or frontal colli-
sion. Always be sure that you and all vehi-
cle occupants are seated and
restrained properly (sitting upright
with the seat in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion, with
the person's legs comfortably
extended, feet on the floor, and wear-
ing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air
bag and the safety belt.

The OCS may not function proper-
ly if the passenger takes actions
which can defeat the detection sys-
tem. These include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright posi- tion.
(2) Leaning against the door or cen- ter console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or resting them on other locations
which reduce the passenger
weight on the front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety
belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back. 
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates after the igni-
tion key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion or after the engine is started. If
the front passenger seat is unoc-
cupied or is occupied by very small
person, or is occupied by someone
who is improperly seated, the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator will remain illuminated. If the
front passenger seat is occupied
by someone of adult size and body
shape, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will turn off
after 6 seconds.
 If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator illuminates, neither
the front passenger front air bag
nor front passenger side air bag
will deploy in either a side or frontal
collision.
 If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator is not illuminated,
the front passenger front air bag
and front passenger side air bag
may deploy in either a side or
frontal collision.

Devices
*1The system detects a person who is generally adult size as an adult, thus allowing the pas-
senger air bag to deploy. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system
may detect their body shape as that of a child, thus preventing air bag deployment.
*2When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult depending on his/her body shape or seating
position, thus permitting air bag deployment.
CAUTION
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illuminates or blinks con- tinuously when a person of adult size sits in the front passenger'sseat, it could be because that person isn't sitting properly in the seat.If this happens, turn the vehicle off, make sure the seat back is notreclined, have the passenger center on the seat cushion, with legscomfortably extended, and the safety belt properly positioned. Restartthe vehicle and have the person remain in this position long enough toallow the system to detect the person and activate the passenger airbag.
CAUTION
If the occupant classificationsystem is not working properly,the air bag warning light () onthe instrument panel will illumi-nate because the passenger’ s
air bag is connected with the occupant classification system.If there is a malfunction of theoccupant classification system,the "Passenger Air bag Off"indicator will not illuminate andthe front passenger's air bagwill deploy in frontal crasheseven if there is child or no occu-pant in the front passenger'sseat.
Have an authorized Kia dealerinspect the occupant classifica-tion system with the SRS air bagsystem as soon as possible ifany of following occur;
 The SRS air bag warning light
does not illuminate when theignition key is turned to "ON"position.
