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)
Driver’s and front passenger’s airbag are designed to inflate only in
certain frontal collisions, and side
and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate in certain side impacts.
Frontal air bags are not designed
to provide protection in side
impacts, rear impacts, rollovers,
or less severe frontal collisions.
They will not provide protection
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. Have the
vehicle towed to an authorized
Kia dealer for inspection and nec-
essary repairs.
Disregarding this precaution may
cause an unexpected air bag
deployment, which could result in
serious personal injury or death.

Inside the vehicle
To open the trunk from inside the vehicle,
pull the trunk lid release lever.
Emergency trunk safety release
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency trunk release cable located inside
the trunk. The lever glows in the dark
when the trunk lid is closed. If someone
is inadvertently locked in the trunk,
pulling this handle will release the trunk
latch mechanism and open the trunk.
WARNING- Exhaust
fumes
If you drive with the trunk lid open,
you will draw dangerous exhaust
fumes into your vehicle causing
serious injury or death to vehicle
occupants. Open trunk lids can also
dangerously obscure rear view
vision.
If you must drive with the trunk lid
open, keep the air vents open so
that additional outside air comes
into the vehicle.
1JBA30771JBN6017
WARNING
No one should be allowed to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or total-
ly latched and the person is unable
to get out, severe injury or death
could occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of exposure to
cold weather conditions. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous location
in the event of a crash because it is
not a protected occupant space but
merely a part of the vehicle’s crush
zone.
CAUTION
If a person is locked in the trunk,they can pull the emergencyrelease to open the trunk lid.
We recommend that cars be kept locked and keys be kept out ofthe reach of children, and thatparents teach their children about the dangers of playing in trunks.
