seatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the safety belt snug and
low across the hips. This is the
best position to protect you in
case of an accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe airbag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
so that your chest is at least 250
mm (10 inches) away from the
steering wheel.
WARNING- Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust seat whilethe vehicle is moving. This could
result in loss of control, and an
accident causing death, serious
injury, or property damage.
Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
(Continued)
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly and be sure
there are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback is
returned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could spring forward resulting in
accidental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.
WARNING- Rear Seatback
The rear seatback must besecurely latched. If not, passen-
gers and objects could be thrown
forward resulting in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Luggage and other cargo shouldbe laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop, collision or rollover.
No passenger should ride in the cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
in seats and restrained properly
while riding.
When resetting the seatback to the upright position, make sure it
is securely latched by pushing it
forward and backwards.
To avoid the possibility of burns, do not remove the carpet in the
cargo area. Emission controls
beneath this floor generate high
exhaust temperatures.

✽
✽NOTICE
• If luggage or other objects are placed
on the front passenger's seat or if the
temperature of the seat changes while
the seat is unoccupied, the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may
blink. These conditions do not indi-
cate a problem.
•
Do not put heavy objects on the front
passenger's seat. This may cause front
passenger air bag deployment in the
event of an accident, thus increasing
your repair costs.
WARNING
The front seat passenger air bag
is much larger than the steering
wheel air bag and inflates with
considerably more force. It can
seriously hurt or kill a passenger
who is not in the proper position
and wearing the safety belt prop-
erly. The front passengers should
always move their seat as far
back as practical and sit back in
their seat.

It is essential that the front pas-
senger always wears their safety
belts, even when the vehicle is
moving in a parking lot or up a dri-
veway into garage.
(Continued)
(Continued) Any other such replacement or
modification could adversely
affect the operation of the occu-
pant classification system and
your advanced air bags. For the
same reason, do not attach any-
thing to the seat, dashboard or
door, even temporarily. If the sys-
tem is adversely affected, it could
cause severe personal injuries or
death in a collision.

Do not put a heavy load in the front
passenger seatback pocket or on
the front passenger seat. Do not
hang onto the front passenger
seat. Do not hang any items such
as seatback table on the front pas-
senger seatback. Do not place feet
on the front passenger seatback.
Do not place any items under the
front passenger seat. Any of these
could interfere with proper sensor
operation.
(Continued)
Kia does not endorse nor will it support any changes to any part
or structure of the vehicle that
could affect the advanced air bag
system, including the occupant
classification system.
Specifically, the front passenger
seat, dashboard or door should
not be replaced except by an
authorized Kia dealer using origi-
nal Kia parts designed for this
vehicle and model.

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
- Passenger’s air bag
- Side 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.
The SRS uses a collection of sensors to
gather information about the driver’s seat
position, the driver’s and front passenger’s
safety belt usage and impact severity.
The driver’s seat position sensor, which
is installed on the seat track, determine if
the seat is fore or aft of a reference posi-
tion. Similarly, the safety belt usage sen-
sors determine if the driver and front pas-
senger’s safety belts are fastened. These
sensors provide the ability to control the
SRS deployment based on how close the
driver’s seat is to the steering wheel,
whether or not the safety belts are fas-
tened, and the severity of the impact.
(Continued)
If the driver brakes the vehicle heavily prior to an impact, unbelt-
ed occupants will be thrown for-
ward. If the front passenger is not
wearing the safety belts, they will
be directly in front of the storage
compartment when deployment
occurs. In that situation, serious
injury or death is possible.
Never allow front passenger to put their hands, feet or face on or
close to the instrument panel. In
the event of air bag deployment,
such a mispositioned occupant
would be likely to suffer severe
injury or death.
Never allow children, pregnant women or weak persons to sit in
the front passenger seat. Do not
put child restraint system on the
front passenger's seat either.
They may be seriously injured by
the air bag inflation when air bag
deploys.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not put objects or stickers onthe instrument panel. Do not
apply any accessory to the front
windshield. Do not install after-
market mirrors or accessories on
the factory-installed rearview mir-
ror. Any of these could interfere
with the deployment of the air bag
or could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodily
injury and even death.

Driver’s air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Advanced Supplemental Restraint (Air
Bag) System and lap/shoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seating
position.
The driver’s air bag is stored in the cen-
ter of the steering wheel.
(Continued)
Ignoring the SRS indicator light
(air bag indicator and passenger
air bag off indicator) can result in
serious or fatal injury if the air
bags occupant classification sys-
tem or pre-tensioners 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 posi- tion 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 parked and the igni-
tion key is removed.WARNING
You must always sit as far backfrom the steering wheel air bag as
possible (chest at least 250 mm
(10 inches) away from the steer-
ing wheel), while still maintaining
a comfortable seating position for
good vehicle control, in order to
reduce the risk of injury or death
in a collision.
Never place objects over the air bag storage compartments or
between the air bags and your-
self. Due to the speed and force of
the air bag inflation, such objects
could hit your body at high speed
and cause severe bodily injury
and even death.
Do not put stickers or ornaments on the steering wheel cover.
These may interfere with the
deployment of the air bag.

Air bag system operation
Air bag only operates when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START
positions.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side collision (if
equipped with side air bag or curtain
air bag) in order to help protect the
occupants from serious physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate by the severity of a collision and
its direction. These two factors deter-
mine whether the sensors send out an
electronic deployment/inflation signal. Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. However, factors are not limit-
ed to those mentioned above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an accident.
It is much more likely that you will sim-
ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments after
the collision. In order to help provide protection in a
severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag
inflation is a consequence of the
extremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need to get the air bag
between the occupant and the vehicle
structures before the occupant impacts
those structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe collision
and is thus a necessary part of air bag
design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which normally can
include facial abrasions, bruises and
broken bones, and sometimes more
serious injuries because that inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the steer-
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant
is positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel.
