Power windows (if equipped)
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls that door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side window
open, you should open the opposite
window slightly to reduce the condi-tion.
✽✽NOTICE
To prevent the power window sys-
tem from the possibility of damage,
do not open or close two windows at
the same time. This will also ensurethe longevity of the fuse.
Manual windows (if equipped)
Use the window crank to open and
close each window.
CAUTION
Make sure heads and hands are safely out of the waybefore closing a window.
Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keepthe driver’s door power win-dow lock switch in the LOCK position (depressed). Seriousinjury can result from uninten-tional window operation by the child.
Do not extend face or arms outside through the windowopening while driving.
Always double check to make sure all arms, hands and otherobstructions are safely out of the way before closing a win-dow.

Airbag system components
The main components of your SRS are:
To indicate that your vehicle is
equipped with airbags, the corre-
sponding airbag covers are
marked with “SRS AIRBAG”.
- Driver’s airbag
- Passenger’s airbag- Side airbag
A diagnostic system that continual- ly monitors the system operation.
An indicator light to warn you of a possible problem with the system.
Driver’s airbag (if equipped)
The driver’s airbag is stored in the
center of the steering wheel.(Continued)They will generally not provide
protection in side impacts
(vehicles not equipped with
side airbags) or rear impacts,
rollovers, less severe frontal
collisions. They will not pro-
vide protection from later
impacts in a multi-impact colli-sion.
If your vehicle has been sub- jected to flood conditions (e.g.soaked carpeting/standingwater 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. This may
cause airbag deployment,
which could result in serious
personal injury or death. Ifflooded conditions are sub-
jected to your vehicle, before
starting the vehicle, have the
vehicle towed to an authorized
Kia dealer for inspection and
necessary repairs.

WARNING
The front seat passenger’s airbag is much larger than the
steering wheel airbag 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 passengers always wear their
safety belts, even when the
vehicle is moving in a parking
lot or up a driveway into
garage. (Continued)(Continued)
Even though your vehicle isequipped with the front pas-
senger's air bag ON/OFF
switch, do not install a child
restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A child
restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat.
Children who are too large for
child restraint systems should
always occupy the rear seat
and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. Children
are afforded the most safety in
the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a prop-er restraint system in the rearseat.
As soon as the child seat is no longer needed on the front
passenger's seat, reactivate
the front passenger's air bag.WARNING
The driver is responsible for the proper position of the
front passenger’s air bag
ON/OFF switch.
Deactivate the front passen- ger's air bag only when the
ignition switch is switched off,
or the malfunction may occur
in the SRS Control Module.
And there may be a danger
that the driver's and/or front
passenger’s and/or side and
curtain air bag may fail to trig-
ger, or not trigger correctlyduring a collision.
Never install a rearward facing child seat on the front passen-
ger's seat unless the front
passenger's air bag has been
deactivated. The infant or child
could be severely injured or
killed by an air bag deploy-ment in case of an accident. (Continued)
