WARNING
Do not modify your steering wheel, seat or any other part of the Supplemental Restraint
System. Modification could
make the system inoperable.
Do not work on the system’s components or wiring. This
could cause the airbags to
inflate inadvertently, possibly
seriously injuring someone.
Working on the system could
also disable the system so
that the airbags would not
deploy in a collision.
Any work on the SRS system, such as removing, installing,
repairing, or any work on the
steering wheel must be per-
formed by a qualified Kia tech-
nician. Improper handling of
the airbag system may result
in serious personal injury.

were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.

the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.
