KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTThe purpose of the air bag warning light
in your instrument panel is to alert you of
a potential problem with your Air Bag -
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Have the system checked if:
• The light does not illuminate when
you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays ON after the engine
starts.
• The light comes ON or flashes while
you are driving.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM SERVICEYour Supplemental Restraint System is
virtually maintenance-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.
The entire SRS system must be inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer 10 years
after the vehicle manufacture date.

Do not use excessive force
on the side of the seat.
Do not place any objects
over the airbag or between
the airbag and yourself.
Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag,etc.) between
the front door and the front
seat. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the side air
bag inflates.
To prevent unexpected
deploy-ment of the side air
bag that may result in
personal injury, avoid impact
to the side airbag sensor
when the ignition key is
“ON”.
