Air bag system components
The main components of your SRS are:
• To indicate that your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, the corre-
sponding air bag covers are marked
with “SRS AIR BAG”.
- Driver’s air bag
- Driver’s knee air bag
- Front passenger’s air bag
- Curtain air bag
• 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.
Your vehicles SRS uses a variety of sen-
sors to monitor the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s safety belt usage and impact
severity.
The safety belt usage sensors determine
if the driver and front passenger’s safety
belts are fastened. These sensors pro-
vide the ability to control the SRS deploy-
ment based on whether or not the safety
belts are fastened, and how severe the
impact is.The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for mod-
erate-severity impacts. A second stage
level is provided for more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity and
safety belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS
Control Module) controls the air bag infla-
tion. Failure to properly wear safety belts
can increase the risk or severity of injury
in an accident.
Additionally, your SRS is equipped with
an occupant classification system in the
front passenger’s seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front passen-
ger’s seat and will turn off the front pas-
senger’s air bag under certain conditions.
For more detail, see “Occupant
Classification System” later in this sec-
tion.
(Continued)
They will generally not provide
protection in side impacts (except
curtain air bags) or rear impacts,
rollovers,less severe frontal colli-
sions. They will not provide pro-
tection from later impacts in a
multi-impact collision.
• 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. This may
cause air bag deployment, which
could result in serious personal
injury or death. If your vehicle has
been subjected to flooded condi-
tions, before attempting to start
the vehicle, have the vehicle
towed to an authorized Kia dealer
for inspection and necessary
repairs.

Your new mirror comes with an integrat-
ed HomeLink Universal Transceiver,
which allows you to program the mirror to
activate your garage door(s), estate gate,
home lighting, etc. The mirror actually
learns the codes from your various exist-
ing transmitters.
Programming
Your vehicle may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the ACC position
for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink. It is also recommended that a
new battery be replaced in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink for quicker train-
ing and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency.
Follow these steps to train your
HomeLink mirror:
HOMELINK® WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
• When programming the
HomeLink® Wireless Control
System, you may be operating a
garage door or gate operator.
Make sure that people and objects
are out of the way of the moving
door or gate to prevent potential
harm or damage.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety stan-
dards. (This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot detect
an object,signaling the door to
stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener with-
out these features increases risk
of serious injury or death. For
more information, call 1-800-355-
3515 or on the internet at
www.homelink.com.
• Retain the original transmitter for
future programming procedures
(i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is
also suggested that upon the sale
of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink buttons be erased for
security purposes (follow step 1
in the “Programming” portion of
this text).
