Power windowsThe ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls the door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition key is removed or turned
to the ACC or LOCK position.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the power windows cannot
be operated even within the 30 sec-
onds after the ignition key removal.
While driving, if you notice buffeting
and pulsation (wind shock) with
either side window open, you should
open the opposite window slightly to
reduce the condition.
Window opening and closingThe driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the
windows in the vehicle.
To open or close a window, press
down or pull up the front portion of
the corresponding switch to the first
detent position (5).
Auto down window (if equipped)
(Driver’s window)Depressing the power window switch
momentarily to the second detent
position (6) completely lowers the
driver’s window even when the
switch is released. To stop the win-
dow at the desired position while the
window is in operation, pull up the
switch momentarily to the opposite
direction of the window movement.
If the power window is not operated
correctly, the automatic power win-
dow system must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

✽ ✽
NOTICEYour vehicle’s Supplemental
Restraint System Control Module is
equipped with a recording device
that may record the use or status of
the seat belt restraint system by the
driver and front passenger in cer-
tain collisions.
WARNING
- Air bags &
safety belts
 Even in vehicles with air bags, you and your passengers
must always wear the safety
belts provided in order to min-
imize the risk and severity of
injury in the event of a colli-
sion or rollover.
 Always wear your safety belt. It can help keep you away
from the air bags during heavy
braking just before a collision.
It may also reduce the risk of
occupant ejection.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 If occupants are not wearingsafety belts or correctly seat-
ed, 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 colli-
sions, and side and curtain air
bags (if equipped) are
designed to inflate in certain
side impacts. Frontal air bag
will generally not provide pro-
tection in side impacts (vehi-
cles not equipped with side
and curtain air bags) or rear
impacts, rollovers, less severe
frontal collisions. They will not
provide protection from later
impacts in a multi-impact col-
lision.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 If your vehicle has been sub-jected to flood conditions (e.g.
soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehi-
cle, 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 discon-
necting the battery.
Disregarding this precaution
may cause air bag deploy-
ment, which could result in
serious personal injury or
death. If your vehicle is sub-
jected to flooded conditions,
before starting the vehicle,
have the vehicle towed to an
authorized Kia dealer for
inspection and necessary
repairs.

CAUTION
If the seat position sensor is not
working properly, the SRS airbag warning light ( ) on theinstrument panel will illuminateeven if there is no malfunctionof the SRS air bag system,because the SRS air bag warn-ing light is connected with theseat position sensor. If the SRSair bag warning light does notilluminate when the ignition keyis turned to the "ON" position, ifit remains illuminated afterblinking for approximately 6seconds, or if it illuminateswhile the vehicle is being driv-en, have an authorized Kia deal-er inspect the seat position sen-sor and the advanced SRS airbag system as soon as possi-ble.
WARNING
 Modification to the seat struc- ture 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 dif-
ferent level than should be
provided.
 Do not place any objects underneath the front seats
which could damage the seat
position sensor or interfere
with the occupant classifica-
tion 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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Ignoring the SRS indicatorlight (air bag indicator and
passenger air bag off indica-
tor) can result in serious or
fatal injury if the air bags
occupant classification sys-
tem or pretensioners 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 position 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

Knowing your vehicle
Always be sure that you and all vehi-
cle occupants are seated and
restrained properly (sitting upright
with the seat in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion, with
the person's legs comfortably
extended, feet on the floor, and wear-
ing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air
bag and the safety belt.
The OCS may not function proper-
ly if the passenger takes actions
which can defeat the detection sys-
tem. These include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright posi- tion.
(2) Leaning against the door or cen- ter console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or resting them on other locations
which reduce the passenger
weight on the front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety
belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back. 
The “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator illuminates after the igni-
tion key is turned to the “ON”posi-
tion or after the engine is started. If
the front passenger's seat is occu-
pied by a very small person or is
occupied by someone who is
improperly seated, the “PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF” indicator will
remain illuminated and the front
passenger air bag will not deploy in
frontal crashes. If the front passen-
ger’ s seat is occupied by an adult
size person seated properly, the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator will turn off after approxi-
mately 4 seconds and the front
passenger's air bag will deploy in
frontal collision.
CAUTION
If the occupant classification system is not working properly,the air bag warning light ( ) onthe instrument panel will illumi-nate. If there is a malfunction ofthe occupant classification sys-tem, the "PASSENGER AIR BAGOFF" indicator will not illumi-nate and the front passenger'sair bag will deploy in frontalcrashes even if there is child orno occupant in the front pas-senger’s seat. If the SRS air bagwarning light does not illumi-nate when the ignition key isturned to "ON" position, if itremains illuminated after blink-ing for approximately six sec-onds, or if it illuminates whilethe vehicle is being driven, havean authorized Kia dealer inspectthe occupant classification sys-tem with the SRS air bag systemas soon as possible.
