Side air bag (if equipped)Side air bags are stored in the left
side of the driver’ s seat and right side
of the front passenger’ s seat.
If air bag inflation conditions are met
(side collision), they will inflate.

(Continued)
 If the driver brakes the vehicle heavily prior to an impact,
unbelted occupants will be
thrown forward. If the front
passenger is not wearing the
safety belts, they will be
directly in front of the air bag
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 misposi-
tioned 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.
They may be seriously injured
by the air bag inflation when
air bag deploys.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Do not use child restraint sys-tems on the front passenger's
seat, as inflation may cause
death or severe personal
injury.
 Do not put objects or stickers on the instrument panel. Do
not apply any accessory to the
front windshield. Do not install
aftermarket mirrors or acces-
sories on the factory-installed
rearview mirror. Any of these
could interfere with the
deployment of the air bag or
could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodi-
ly injury and even death.

Air bag inflation conditionFront air bag
Front air bags (driver ’s and front pas-
senger’ s air bags) are designed to
inflate when the impact is delivered
to front collision sensors depending
on the intensity, speed or angles of
impact of the front collision - general-
ly from an area a little to the left to a
little to the right of straight ahead.
WARNING
 Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where
air bag or sensors are
installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, which
could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
 If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
Have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized Kia
dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Problems may arise if the sen-sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of front bumper, body or
B, C pillar where side collision
sensors are installed. Have
the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized Kia
dealer.
 Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact
and deploy the air bag(s) in
certain collisions. Installing
aftermarket bumper guards or
replacing a bumper with non-
genuine parts may adversely
affect your vehicles collision
and air bag deployment per-
formance.

Air bag non-inflation conditions In certain collisions, the vehicle
safety belts are sufficient to protect
the vehicle occupants and the air
bags may not deploy. In some
cases, deploying air bags in low-
speed collisions can cause a sec-
ondary impact to the occupants
(light abrasions, cuts, burns, etc.),
or loss of vehicle control. 
Frontal air bags are not designed
to inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward by
the force of the impact. In this
case, the air bags do not provide
proper protection. 
Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collision, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side
impacts, frontal air bag deployment
does not provide occupant protec-
tion.
However, side or curtain air bags
may inflate depending on the inten-
sity, vehicle speed and angles of
impact.

Disc brakes wear indicator Your vehicle has disc brakes.
When your brake pads are worn and
it's time for new pads, you will hear a
high-pitched warning sound from
your front brakes or rear brakes (if
equipped). You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur when-
ever you depress the brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving
conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.
WARNING
- Brake wear
This brake wear warning sound
means your vehicle needs serv-
ice. If you ignore this audible
warning, you will eventually lose
braking performance, which
could lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
Always replace brake pads as complete front or rear axle sets.
(Continued)
 Wet brakes may result in the vehicle not slowing down at
the usual rate and pulling to
one side when the brakes are
applied. Applying the brakes
lightly will indicate whether
they have been affected in this
way. Always test your brakes
in this fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, apply them lightly
while maintaining a safe for-
ward speed until brake per-
formance returns to normal.
CAUTION
To avoid costly brake repairs, donot continue to drive with wornbrake pads.
