Air bag warning light
The purpose of air bag warning light in
your instrument panel is to alert you of a
potential problem with your air bag -
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
When the ignition switch is turned ON,
the indicator light should blink or illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds, then
go off.
Have the system checked if:
• The light does not turn on briefly when
you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays on after the engine
starts.
• The light comes on while the vehicle is
in motion.
Air bag (Supplemental Restraint
System) service
Your Supplemental Restraint System is
virtually maintenance-free. There are no
parts which you can service.
You must have the system serviced
under the following circumstances:
• If an air bag ever inflates, the air bag
must be replaced. Do not try to remove
or discard the air bag by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
• If the air bag warning indicator light
alerts you to a problem, have the air
bag system checked as soon as possi-
ble. Otherwise, your air bag system
may be ineffective.
WARNING
• Never put child restraint in the
front passenger seat. If the front
passenger air bag inflates, it may
cause severe or fatal injuries.
• When children are seated in the
rear outboard seats in which cur-
tain air bags are equipped, be
sure to put the child restraint sys-
tem as far away from the door
side as possible, and secure the
child restraint system to be
locked in position.
Inflation of side or curtain air bag
(if equipped) could cause severe
injury or death due to the expan-
sion impact.

BAG
CAUTION - No modification
Do not modify any part of the air bag
system. Modification could make
the air bag system ineffective or
could cause unnecessary deploy-
ment.
