Occupant classification system

mine if the front passenger’s airbag
should be enabled (may inflate) or

passenger seat or if the passenger in
the front passenger's seat is very
small (such as a child), the front PAS-
SENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator

When this indicator is ON, the front
passenger's air bag will not deploy.
The side air bag will not deploy if the
front seat is unoccupied.
The side air bag may deploy if the

CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER (IF EQUIPPED)
The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust
or other pollutants that come into the
vehicle from the outside through the
heating and air conditioning system.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air flow from the air vents may
decrease, resulting in moisture accu-
mulation on the inside of the wind-
shield even when the outside (fresh)
are position is selected. If this hap-
pens, have the climate control air fil-
ter replaced by an Authorized Kia
Dealer.The air filter should be replaced
every 15,000 km (10,000 miles). If
the vehicle is operated in the severe-
ly air-polluted cities or on dusty
rough roads for a long period, it
should be inspected more frequently
and replaced earlier. When you try to
replace the air filter by owner mainte-
nance, replace it performing the fol-
lowing procedure, and in this case,
be careful to avoid damaging other
components.
