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.

Knowing your vehicle
✽ ✽NOTICE• If luggage or other objects are
placed on the front passenger's
seat or if the temperature of the
seat changes while the seat is unoc-
cupied, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator may blink.
These conditions do not indicate a
problem.
•Do not put heavy objects on the front
passenger's seat. This may cause
front passenger air bag deployment
in the event of an accident, thus
increasing your repair costs.
WARNING
The front seat passenger air
bag is much larger than the
steering wheel air bag and
inflates with considerably
more force. It can seriously
hurt or kill a passenger who is
not in the proper position and
wearing the safety belt proper-
ly. The front passengers
should always move their seat
as far back as practical and sit
back in their seat.
It is essential that the front pas-
senger always wears their safe-
ty belts, even when the vehicle
is moving in a parking lot or up
a driveway into garage. If the driver brakes the vehicle
heavily prior to an impact,
unbelted occupants will be
thrown forward. If the front
passenger is not wearing the
safety belts, they will be direct-
ly in front of the storage com-
partment when deployment
occurs. In that situation, seri-
ous injury or death is possible.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Manufacturers are required by
government regulations to
provide a contact point con-
cerning modifications to the
vehicle for persons with dis-
abilities, which modifications
may affect the vehicle’ s
advanced air bag system.
That contact is Kia ’s toll-free
Customer Assistance center
at 1-800-333-4KIA. However,
Kia does not endorse nor will
it support any changes to any
part or structure of the vehicle
that could affect the advanced
air bag system, including the
occupant classification sys-
tem. Specifically, the front
passenger seat, dashboard or
door should not be replaced
except by an authorized Kia
dealer using original Kia parts
designed for this vehicle and
model. Any other such
replacement or modification
could adversely affect the
operation of the occupant
classification system and your
advanced air bags.
(Continued)
(Continued) For the same reason, do not
attach anything to the seat,
dashboard or door, even tem-
porarily. If the system is
adversely affected, it could
cause severe personal
injuries or death in a collision.
Do not place sharp objects on
the front passenger seat. These
can damage the occupant clas-
sification system, if they punc-
ture the seat cushion. Do not install accessory seat
covers on the front seats,
since these will interfere with
proper sensor operation.
