NOTICEThe pre-tensioner seat belt is installed at
the front seats, and the sensor is
equipped inside the buckle, where pres-
ence of passenger is sensed by the fas-
tening of the seat belts. Therefore, pre-
tensioner will not activate if the passen-
ger is not fastened with the seat belts.
Likewise, it will activate if buckled even
without a passenger in the seat. Pre-ten-
sioner seat belt is designed to activate
when the seatbelt is in use. To ensure the
pretensioner seatbelts activate in event
of a possible seatbelt buckle switch mal-
function, the system is designed to acti-
vate regardless of whether a seat belt is
in use or if no seat belt use is detected
within 6 seconds of turning the ignition
switch ON.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion.
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
(3) SRS air bag control module
WARNING
- Safety belt
adjustment
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
 The safety belt must be worn cor-
rectly.
 The safety belt must be adjusted to the correct position.

Features of your vehicle
Occupant classification systemThe occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger in
the front passenger's seat and will turn off
the front passenger's air bag under cer-
tain conditions.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger's air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
Only the front passenger front air bag and
front passenger side air bag are con-
trolled by the Occupant Classification
System.
WARNING
- Air bags &safety belts
 Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers must
always wear the safety belts pro-
vided in order to minimize the risk
and severity of injury in the event
of a collision or rollover.
 Always wear your safety belt. It can help keep you away from the
air bags during heavy braking
just before a collision.
 If occupants are not wearing safe- ty belts or correctly seated, they
cannot be protected, and thus
face serious injury or death.
 Driver’s and front passenger’s air bag are designed to inflate only in
certain frontal collision, and side
and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate in certain side impacts.
Frontal air bags will generally not
provide protection in side impacts
(vehicles not equipped with side
and curtain air bags) or rear
impacts, rollovers, less severe
frontal collisions. They will not pro-
vide protection from later impacts
in a multi-impact collision.

 If your vehicle has been subject-ed to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing water
on the floor of the vehicle, 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 dis-
connecting the battery.
Disregarding this precaution may
cause air bag deployment, which
could result in serious personal
injury or death. If your vehicle is
subjected to flooded conditions,
before starting the vehicle, have
the vehicle towed to an autho-
rized Kia dealer for inspection
and necessary repairs.

 The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"indicator illuminates after the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position or
after the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is unoccupied or is
occupied by very small person, or is
occupied by someone who is improp-
erly seated, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will remain illumi-
nated. 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
approximately 4 seconds.
 If the front passenger's seat is unoccu- pied, the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF” indicator will turn on, and the
front passenger's air bag will not
deploy in frontal crashes.
 If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator illuminates, the front passen-
ger’s air bag will not deploy in frontal
crashes.
 If the front passenger’s seat is occu- pied by a person of adult size, the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indica-
tor is not illuminated and the front pas-
senger’s air bag will deploy in frontal
crashes.

*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 continuous- ly when a person of adult size sits in the front passenger's seat, it could bebecause that person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens, turn the vehicle off, make sure the seat back is not reclined, have the passenger cen-ter on the seat cushion, with legs comfortably extended, and the safety beltproperly positioned. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in thisposition long enough to allow the system to detect the person and activate the passenger air bag.

3The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for mod-
erate-severity impacts. A second stage
level is provided for more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position and safety belt usage, the
SRSCM (SRS Control Module) controls
the air bag inflation. Failure to properly
wear safety belts can increase the risk
or severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your SRS is equipped with
an occupant classification system in the
front passenger’s seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front passen-
ger’s seat and will turn off the front pas-
senger’s air bag under certain conditions.
For more detail, see “Occupant
Classification System” in this section.
CAUTION
If the seat position sensor is not working properly, the SRS air bag warning light on the instrumentpanel will illuminate even if there isno malfunction of the SRS air bagsystem, because the SRS air bag warning light is connected with theseat position sensor. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illumi-nate when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position, if it remains illuminated after illuminating orblinking for approximately 6 sec-onds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have anauthorized Kia dealer inspect the seat position sensor and theadvanced SRS air bag system as soon as possible.
WARNING
 Modification to the seat structure can adversely affect the seat
position sensor and cause the air
bag to deploy at a different level
than should be provided.
 Failure to properly wear safety belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury by causing the
air bags to deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
 Do not place any objects under- neath the front seats which could
damage the seat position sensor
or interfere with the occupant
classification system.
 Do not place any objects that may cause magnetic fields near the
front seat. These may cause a
malfunction of the seat position
sensor.
