The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms
become hot during activation.

Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt system in any manner.
(Continued)(Continued)
Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
blies, and failure to heed the
warnings not to strike, modify,
inspect, replace, service orrepair the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies may lead to
improper operation or inad-

Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.They are designed to help protectthe heads of the front seat occupantsand the rear outboard seat occu-
pants in certain side impact colli-
sions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
impact. The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations, collisions from the front or
rear of the vehicle or in most rollover
situations.(Continued)
Do not use any accessory seat
covers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effective- ness of the system.
Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side air
bag.
Do not place any objects over the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.
Do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
door and the seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the sup-
plemental side air bag inflates.
To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side air bag that
may result in personal injury,
avoid impact to the side impactsensor when the ignition
switch is on.
If the seat or seat cover is dam- aged, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.

In order for side and curtain air bags to provide the best
protection, front seat occu-
pants and outboard rear occu-pants should sit in an uprightposition with the seat belts
properly fastened.
Importantly, children should
sit in a proper child restraintsystem in the rear seat.
When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they
must be seated in the proper
child restraint system. Make
sure to position the child
restraint system as far away
from the door side as possi-
ble, and secure the child
restraint system in a lockedposition.
(Continued)(Continued)

onto doors, put their arms on
the doors, stretch their arms
out of the window, or place
objects between the doors
and passengers when theyare seated on seats equipped
with side and/or curtain air
bags.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on
the intensity, speed or angles ofimpact of the front collision.
OKH032083
(Continued)
Problems may arise if the sen-
sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body
or B and C pillars where side
collision sensors are
installed. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact
and deploy the air bag(s) in
certain collisions. Installing
aftermarket bumper guards or
replacing a bumper with non-
genuine parts may adversely
affect your vehicles collision
and air bag deployment per-
formance.WARNING
Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors areinstalled.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, whichcould result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
We recommend that the sys-
tem be serviced by an author-
ized Kia dealer.

If components of the air bag
system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.
An authorized Kia dealer
knows these precautions and
can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow
these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk
of personal injury.
If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water
on flooring, you shouldn't try
to start the engine; we recom-
mend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer.SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-
free and so there are no parts you
can safely service by yourself. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
illuminate, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.(Continued)
No objects should be placedover or near the air bag mod- ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box, because any
such object could cause harm
if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the
air bags to inflate.
If the air bags inflate, we rec- ommend that the system be
replaced by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or othercomponents of the SRS sys-
tem. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
(Continued)
WARNING
Modification to SRS compo- nents or wiring, including the
addition of any kind of badges
to the pad covers or modifica-
tions to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and lead to possible
injury.
For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft, dry
cloth or one which has been
moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could
adversely affect the air bag
covers and proper deploy-ment of the system.
