The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates after the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position or
after the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is unoccupied or is
occupied by very small person, or is
occupied by someone who is improp-
erly seated, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will remain illumi-
nated. If the front passenger seat is
occupied by someone of adult size and
body shape, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will turn off after
approximately 4 seconds.
If the front passenger's seat is unoccu- pied, the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF” indicator will turn on, and the
front passenger's air bag will not
deploy in frontal crashes.
If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator illuminates, the front passen-
ger’s air bag will not deploy in frontal
crashes.
If the front passenger’s seat is occu- pied by a person of adult size, the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indica-
tor is not illuminated and the front pas-
senger’s air bag will deploy in frontal
crashes.Condition and operation in the front passenger occupant classification system

*1The system detects a person who is generally adult size as an adult, thus allowing the pas-
senger air bag to deploy. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system
may detect their body shape as that of a child, thus preventing air bag deployment.
*
2When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult depending on his/her body shape or seating
position, thus permitting air bag deployment.
CAUTION
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illuminates or blinks continuous- ly when a person of adult size sits in the front passenger's seat, it could bebecause that person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens, turn thevehicle off, make sure the seat back is not reclined, have the passenger cen-ter on the seat cushion, with legs comfortably extended, and the safety beltproperly positioned. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in thisposition long enough to allow the system to detect the person and activate thepassenger air bag.

WARNING
Even though your vehicle isequipped with the occupant clas-
sification system, do not install a
child restraint system in the front
passenger seat. The child could
be severely injured or killed if the
air bag deploys. Children are
afforded the most protection in
the event of an accident when
they are restrained by the proper
restraint system in the rear seat.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator is illuminated
when the front passenger's seat
is occupied by a person of adult
size who is seated properly, or if
the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator" is not illuminated when
the front passenger's seat is
unoccupied or occupied by a very
small person, the occupant clas-
sification system is not working
properly. Have your vehicle imme-
diately inspected by your Kia
dealer if the occupant classifica-
tion system is not working prop-
erly.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If a very low weight adult is seat-ed in the front passenger seat, the
occupant classification system
may or may not turn off the right
front passenger air bag, depend-
ing upon the person's seating
position and body type. Everyone
in your vehicle should wear a
safety belt properly -- whether or
not there is an air bag for that per-
son.
If the front seat passenger changes their seating position
(for example, by not sitting
upright, by sitting on the edge of
the seat, or by otherwise being
out of position), the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator may
be turned on, and the passenger
air bag may not deploy in a colli-
sion. Always be sure to sit prop-
erly in the front passenger seat
and wear the safety belt properly
and do not do any of the follow-
ing.
(Continued)CAUTION
If the occupant classification sys-tem is not working properly, the airbag warning light on the instrumentpanel will illuminate because thepassenger’s air bag is connectedwith the occupant classification system. If there is a malfunction ofthe occupant classification system,the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"indicator will not illuminate and thefront passenger's air bag will deployin either a side or frontal crasheseven if there is child or no occupantin the front passenger's seat.
Have an authorized Kia dealerinspect the occupant classificationsystem with the SRS air bag system as soon as possible if any of follow-ing occur;
The SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to "ON" posi-tion.
The SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated after illumi-nating or blinking for approxi-mately 6 seconds.
The SRS air bag warning light illu- minates while the vehicle is beingdriven.

Features of your vehicle
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, seating
position and safety belt usage, the
SRSCM (SRS Control Module) controls
the air bag inflation.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” in this section.CAUTION
If the seat position sensor is not working properly, the SRS air bagwarning light on the instrumentpanel will illuminate even if there isno malfunction of the SRS air bag system, because the SRS air bagwarning light is connected with theseat position sensor. If the SRS airbag warning light does not illumi-nate when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" position, if it remainsilluminated after illuminating orblinking for approximately 6 sec-onds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle is being driven, have anauthorized Kia dealer inspect theseat position sensor and theadvanced SRS air bag system assoon as possible.WARNING
Modification to the seat structure can adversely affect the seat
position sensor and cause the air
bag to deploy at a different level
than should be provided.
Failure to properly wear safety belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury by causing the
air bags to deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
Do not place any objects under- neath the front seats which could
damage the seat position sensor
or interfere with the occupant
classification system.
Do not place any objects that may cause magnetic fields near the
front seat. These may cause a
malfunction of the seat position
sensor.

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.
