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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
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.
