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.

How does the air bag system
operate Air bag only operates when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
or START positions.
 Air bags inflate instantly in the
event of serious frontal or side col-
lision (if equipped with side air bag
or curtain air bag) in order to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
 There is no single speed at which
the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate by the severity of a collision
and its direction. These two factors
determine whether the sensors
send out an electronic deploy-
ment/inflation signal. 
Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. However, fac-
tors are not limited to those men-
tioned above.
 The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an
accident. It is much more likely that
you will simply see the deflated air
bags hanging out of their storage
compartments after the collision. 
In order to help provide protection
in a severe collision, the air bags
must inflate rapidly. The speed of
air bag inflation is a consequence
of the extremely short time in which
a collision occurs and the need to
get the air bag between the occu-
pant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe col-
lision and is thus a necessary part
of air bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which normally can
include facial abrasions, bruises
and broken bones, and sometimes
more serious injuries because that
inflation speed also causes the air
bags to expand with a great deal
force.
 There are even circumstances
under which contact with the
steering wheel air bag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively close to the steering
wheel.

Noise and smokeWhen the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and they leave smoke
and powder in the air inside of the
vehicle. This is normal and is a result
of the ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may
feel substantial discomfort in breath-
ing due to the contact of your chest
to both the safety belt and the air
bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. We strongly
urge you to open your doors
and/or windows as soon as possi-
ble after impact in order to reduce
discomfort and prevent prolonged
exposure to the smoke and pow-
der.
Though smoke and powder are non-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the
skin (eyes, nose and throat etc). If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
the cold water immediately and con-
sult the doctor if the symptom per-
sists.
WARNING -
Seated
positioning
 Driver should sit as far back
(at least 10 inches (250 mm)
away) from the steering wheel
air bag as possible to reduce
the risk of injury or death in a
collision. The front passenger
should always move their seat
as far back as possible and sit
back in their seat.
 Air bag inflates instantly in an
event of collision, passengers
may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not
in proper position.
 Air bag inflation may cause
injuries which normally include
facial or bodily abrasions,
injuries by the broken glasses
or burns by the explosives.
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag related parts in steering
wheel and/or instrument panel
and/or in both sides of the roof
rails above the front and rear
doors are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch the air bag
storage areas internal compo-
nents immediately after an air
bag has inflated.

Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger’s seat is for-
bidden.Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger ’s
seat. If the air bag deploys, it would
impact the rear-facing child restraint,
causing serious or fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passen-
ger ‘s seat either. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it would cause
serious or fatal injuries to the improp-
erly positioned or improperly
restrained child.
Airbag warning lightThe purpose of the airbag warning light
in your instrument panel is to alert
you of a potential problem with your
air bag - Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS).
When the ignition switch is turned
ON, the indicator light should blink or
illuminate for approximately 6 sec-
onds, then go off.
Have the system checked if:
 The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
 The light stays on after the engine
starts.
 The light comes on while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
ADAIRBAG
AIR
BAG
WARNING
 Never put child restraint in the
front passenger’ s seat. If the
front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
 When children are seated in
the rear outboard seats in
which side air bags are
equipped, be sure to put the
child restraint system as far
away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system to be locked
in position.
Inflation of side or curtain air
bag could cause serious
injury or death due to the
expansion impact.

Glass antenna (if equipped)When the radio power switch is
turned on while the ignition key is in
either the “ON”or “ACC ”position,
your car will receive both AM and FM
broadcast signals through the anten-
na in the rear window glass.
✽ ✽ NOTICE• Do not clean the inside of the rear
window glass with a cleaner or use
a scraper to remove the foreign
deposits as this may cause damage
to the antenna elements.
• Avoid adding metallic coating such as Ni, Cd, and so on. These
can disturb receiving AM and FM
broadcast signals.
