cushion when not in use.
Proper use and care of the safety
belt system To ensure that the safety belts provide
the maximum protection, please follow
these instructions:
Use the belts at all times - even on
short trips.
If the safety belt is twisted, straighten it prior to use.
Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from the belts.
Periodically inspect belt webbing, anchors, buckles and all other parts for
signs of wear and damage. Replace
damaged, excessively worn or ques-
tionable parts immediately.
To clean the belt webbing, use a mild soap solution recommended for clean-
ing upholstery or carpets. Follow the
instructions provided with the soap.
Do not make modifications or additions to the safety belt.
After wearing a safety belt, make sure it fully retracts to the stowed position.
Do not allow the belt to get caught in
the door when you close it.

Securing a child restraint seat Tether anchor system Child restraint hook holders are located
on the back of the rear seat cushions.1. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable headrest,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over
the top of the seatback.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the appropriate child restraint hook holder
and tighten to secure the seat.
WARNING
- Tether strap
If the tether strap is secured incor-
rectly, the child restraint seat may not
be restrained properly in the event of
a collision. Do not mount more than
one child restraint seat to a tether
anchorage, since the anchorage can
then fail in a collision.
WARNING
- Child restraintcheck
Check that the child restraint sys-
tem is secure by pushing and
pulling it in different directions.
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, twist, tip or come away
causing death or injury.

Child seat lower anchorsSome child seat manufacturers make
child restraint seats that are labeled as
International Standards Organization
Fixed (ISOFIX) or ISOFIX-compatible
child restraint seats. These seats include
two rigid or webbing mounted attach-
ments that connect to two ISOFIX
anchors at specific seating positions in
your vehicle. This type of child restraint
seat eliminates the need to use seat belts
to attach the child seat in the rear seats. ISOFIX anchors have been provided in
your vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are
located in the left and right outboard rear
seating positions. Their locations are
shown in the illustration. There is no
ISOFIX anchor provided for the center
rear seating position.
The ISOFIX anchors are located
between the seatback and the seat cush-
ion of the rear seat left and right outboard
seating positions.
WARNING - Child restraint anchorage
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for
adult seat belts or harnesses or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere
other than the correct tether
anchor.

✽
✽NOTICE• If luggage or other objects are placed
on the front passenger's seat or if the
temperature of the seat changes while
the seat is unoccupied, the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may
blink. These conditions do not indi-
cate a problem.
•Do not put heavy objects on the front
passenger's seat. This may cause front
passenger air bag deployment in the
event of an accident, thus increasing
your repair costs.
WARNING
The front seat passenger air bag
is much larger than the steering
wheel air bag 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 prop-
erly. 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 pas-
senger always wears their safety
belts, even when the vehicle is
moving in a parking lot or up a dri-
veway into garage.
(Continued)
(Continued) Any other such replacement or
modification could adversely
affect the operation of the occu-
pant classification system and
your advanced air bags. For the
same reason, do not attach any-
thing to the seat, dashboard or
door, even temporarily. If the sys-
tem is adversely affected, it could
cause severe personal injuries or
death in a collision.
Do not put a heavy load in the front
passenger seatback pocket or on
the front passenger seat. Do not
hang onto the front passenger
seat. Do not hang any items such
as seatback table on the front pas-
senger seatback. Do not place feet
on the front passenger seatback.
Do not place any items under the
front passenger seat. Any of these
could interfere with proper sensor
operation.
(Continued)
Kia does not endorse nor will it support any changes to any part
or structure of the vehicle that
could affect the advanced air bag
system, including the occupant
classification system.
Specifically, the front passenger
seat, dashboard or door should
not be replaced except by an
authorized Kia dealer using origi-
nal Kia parts designed for this
vehicle and model.

Air bag system components The main components of your SRS are:
To indicate that your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, the corre-
sponding air bag covers are marked
with “SRS AIR BAG”.
- Driver’s air bag
- Passenger’s air bag
- Side air bag
- Curtain air bag
A diagnostic system that continually monitors the system operation.
An indicator light to warn you of a pos- sible problem with the system. Emergency power backup in case your
car’s electrical system is disconnected
in a crash.
The SRS uses a collection of sensors to
gather information about the driver’s seat
position, the driver’s and front passenger’s
safety belt usage and impact severity.
The driver’s seat position sensor, which
is installed on the seat track, determine if
the seat is fore or aft of a reference posi-
tion. Similarly, the safety belt usage sen-
sors determine if the driver and front pas-
senger’s safety belts are fastened. These
sensors provide the ability to control the
SRS deployment based on how close the
driver’s seat is to the steering wheel,
whether or not the safety belts are fas-
tened, and the severity of the impact.
(Continued)
If the driver brakes the vehicle heavily prior to an impact, unbelt-
ed occupants will be thrown for-
ward. If the front passenger is not
wearing the safety belts, they will
be directly in front of the storage
compartment when deployment
occurs. In that situation, serious
injury or death is possible.
Never allow front passenger to put their hands, feet or face on or
close to the instrument panel. In
the event of air bag deployment,
such a mispositioned occupant
would be likely to suffer severe
injury or death.
Never allow children, pregnant women or weak persons to sit in
the front passenger seat. Do not
put child restraint system on the
front passenger's seat either.
They may be seriously injured by
the air bag inflation when air bag
deploys.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not put objects or stickers onthe instrument panel. Do not
apply any accessory to the front
windshield. Do not install after-
market mirrors or accessories on
the factory-installed rearview mir-
ror. Any of these could interfere
with the deployment of the air bag
or could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodily
injury and even death.

Driver’s air bagThe driver’s air bag is stored in the cen-
ter of the steering wheel.
(Continued)
Ignoring the SRS indicator light
(air bag indicator and passenger
air bag off indicator) can result in
serious or fatal injury if the air
bags occupant classification sys-
tem or pre-tensioners do not work
properly. Have your car checked
by a dealer as soon as possible if
the SRS warning light alerts you
to a potential problem.
Sitting improperly or out of posi- tion can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright in their seats
with their feet on the floor until
the vehicle is parked and the igni-
tion key is removed.
WARNING
You must always sit as far backfrom 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.

3Air bag system operation Air bag only operates when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START
positions.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side collision (if
equipped with side air bag or curtain
air bag) in order to help protect the
occupants from serious physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate by the severity of a collision and
its direction. These two factors deter-
mine whether the sensors send out an
electronic deployment/inflation signal. Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. However, factors are not limit-
ed to those mentioned above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an accident.
It is much more likely that you will sim-
ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments after
the collision. In order to help provide protection in a
severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag
inflation is a consequence of the
extremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need to get the air bag
between the occupant and the vehicle
structures before the occupant impacts
those structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe collision
and is thus a necessary part of air bag
design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which normally can
include facial abrasions, bruises and
broken bones, and sometimes more
serious injuries because that inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the steer-
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant
is positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel.

Features of your vehicle
Noise and smokeWhen the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the igni-
tion of the air bag inflator. After the air
bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-
comfort in breathing due to the contact of
your chest to both the safety belt and the
air bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder.We strongly urge
you to open your doors and/or win-
dows as soon as possible after impact
in order to reduce discomfort and pre-
vent prolonged exposure to the
smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin
(eyes, nose and throat etc). If this is the
case, wash and rinse with the cold water
immediately and consult the doctor if the
symptom persists.
WARNING -
Seated
positioning
Driver should sit as far back (at least 250 mm (10 inches) away)
from the steering wheel air bag as
possible to reduce the risk of
injury or death in a collision. The
front passenger should always
move their seat as far back as
possible and sit back in their
seat.
Air bag inflates instantly in an event of collision, passengers
may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not in
proper position.
Air bag inflation may cause injuries which normally include
facial or bodily abrasions, injuries
by the broken glasses or burns by
the explosives.
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in steering wheel
and/or instrument panel and/or in
both sides of the roof rails above
the front and rear doors are very
hot. To prevent injury, do not touch
the air bag storage areas internal
components immediately after an
air bag has inflated.
