Front passenger’s air bag Front passenger’ s air bag is stored in the
instrument panel on the glove box.
Never put any objects or ornaments on
the instrument panel.
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
certain 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.
WARNING
- Steering
wheel
 You must always sit as far back from the steering wheel air bag as
possible (chest at least 250 mm
(10 inches) away from the steer-
ing wheel), while still maintaining
a comfortable seating position for
good vehicle control, in order to
reduce the risk of injury or death
in a collision.
 Never place objects over the air bag storage compartments or
between the air bags and your-
self. Due to the speed and force of
the air bag inflation, such objects
could hit your body at high speed
and cause severe bodily injury
and even death.
 Do not put stickers or ornaments on the steering wheel cover.
These may interfere with the
deployment of the air bag.

Maintenance
CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER (IF EQUIPPED)The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the vehi-
cle from the outside through the heating
and air conditioning system. If dust or
other pollutants accumulate in the filter
over a period of time, the air flow from the
air vents may decrease, resulting in
moisture accumulation on the inside of
the windshield even when the outside
(fresh) are position is selected. If this
happens, have the climate control air fil-
ter replaced by an Authorized Kia Dealer.The climate control air filter should be
replaced every 15,000 km (10,000
miles). If the vehicle is operated in the
severely air-polluted cities or on dusty
rough roads for a long period, it should
be inspected more frequently and
replaced earlier. When you try to replace
the air filter by owner maintenance,
replace it performing the following proce-
dure, and in this case, be careful to avoid
damaging other components.
