Load limiter
When the pre-tentioner activates, if the
system senses excessive seat belt ten-
sion on the driver or passenger’s seat
belt, the load limiter inside the pre-ten-
sioner will release some of the pressure
on the affected seat belt.

are activated and the air bag i s
deployed, a loud nois e may be
heard and fine dus t, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment and
are not toxic.

dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed period s.Wash your hands
and face thoroughly after an acci-
dent in which the air bag s and/or
pre-tensioner seat belts were acti-
vated.

Air bag system components
• The SRS air bag consists of the fol-lowing components;
1. Driver's air bag module
2. Passenger's air bag module
3. Side air bag module
4. Curtain air bag module
5. Front impact sensors
6. Side impact sensors
7. SRS air bag control module
8. Driver's seat position sensor
9. Occupant Classification System (Front passenger's seat only)
10. "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator (Front passenger's seat
only)
11. Driver's and front passenger's safety belt buckle sensors
12. Retractor Pre-tensioner Assemblies
13. SRS "AIR BAG" warning light
• 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 passen-
ger’s safety belt usage and impact sever-
ity.
The driver’s seat position sensor, which
is installed on the seat track, determines
if the seat is fore or aft of a reference
position. Similarly, the safety belt usage
sensors determine if the driver and front
passenger’s safety belts are fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to con-
trol the SRS deployment based on how
close the driver’s seat is to the steering
wheel, how close the passenger’s seat is
to the instrument panel, whether or not
the safety belts are fastened, and the
severity of the impact.
(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 di s-
connecting the battery.
Disregarding thi s precaution may
cause air bag deployment, which
could result in serious per sonal
injury or death. If your vehicle i s
subjected to flooded condition s,
before starting the vehicle, have
the vehicle towed to an author-
ized Kia dealer for in spection and
necessary repair s.
