The front air bag modules are locat-
ed in the center of the steeringwheel, in the front passenger's panel
above the glove box and/or in the dri-
ver’s side knee bolster. When the
SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe
impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front air
bags. Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Further
opening of the covers then allows full
inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver's or the passenger's
forward motion, reducing the risk of
head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating,
enabling the driver to maintain for-
ward visibility and the ability to steer
or operate other controls.

WARNING
Do not install or place any accessories (drink holder,
cassette holder, sticker, etc.)
on the front passenger's
panel above the glove box in a
vehicle with a passenger's air
bag. Such objects may
become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.

When installing a container ofliquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not place it near
the instrument cluster nor on
the instrument panel surface.
It may become a dangerous
projectile and cause injury if
the passenger's air baginflates.

WARNING
If an air bag deploys, there may be a loud noise followed
by a fine dust released in the
vehicle. These conditions are
normal and are not hazardous
- the air bags are packed in
this fine powder. The dust
generated during air bag
deployment may cause skin
or eye irritation as well as
aggravate asthma for some
persons. Always wash all
exposed skin areas thorough-
ly with lukewarm water and amild soap after an accident in
which the air bags were
deployed.

Driver's and passenger's front air
bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)System and the lap/shoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seat-
ing positions. The indications of the system's pres-
ence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG"
embossed on the air bag pad cover
in the steering wheel and/or on the
cover of the driver's side knee bolster
located below the steering wheel andthe passenger's side front panel pad
above the glove box.

The SRS can function only
when the ignition key is in the
ON position. If the SRS air bagwarning light does not illumi-
nate, or continuously remains
on after illuminating for about6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the ON posi-
tion, or after the engine is
started, comes on while driv-
ing, the SRS is not working
properly.
If this occurs, we recommend that the system be inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the engine start/stop but-
ton to the OFF position. Never
remove or replace the air bagrelated fuse(s) when the
engine start/stop button is in
the ON position. Failure toheed this warning will cause
the SRS “ ” warning light to
illuminate.

Safety features of your vehicle
The SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the
center of the steering wheel , in the
knee bolster below the steeringwheel column and the passenger's
side front panel above the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the frontpassenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt sys-tem alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity. The SRS uses
sensors to gather information about
the driver's seat position, the driver'sand front passenger's seat belt usage
and impact severity.The seat belt buckle sensors (if
equipped) determine if the driver and
front passenger's seat belts are fas-
tened. These sensors provide the
ability to control the SRS deploymentbased on whether or not the seat
belts are fastened, and how severe
the impact is.
WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every
time, everyone! Air bags inflate
with considerable force and in
the blink of an eye. Seat belts
help keep occupants in proper
position to obtain maximum
benefit from the air bag. Even
with air bags, improperly andunbelted occupants can be
severely injured when the air
bag inflates. Always follow the
precautions about seat belts, air
bags and occupant safety con-
tained in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries and receive the
maximum safety benefit from
your restraint system:
Never place a child in any child or booster seat in the
front seat.
ABC – Always Buckle Children in the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age
to ride.

Air bags can only be used
once – we recommend that
the system be replaced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
The SRS is designed to deploy the front air bags only
when an impact is sufficiently
severe and when the impact
angle is less than 30° from the
forward longitudinal axis of
the vehicle. Additionally, the
air bags will only deploy once.
Seat belts must be worn at alltimes.
Front air bags are not intend- ed to deploy in side-impact,
rear-impact or rollover crash-
es. In addition, front air bags
will not deploy in frontal
crashes below the deploy-ment threshold.
(Continued)(Continued)
No objects should be placedover or near the air bag mod- ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel or the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box, because any suchobject could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags
to deploy.
Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring or other com-ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental deployment
of the air bags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.
If the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, we rec-ommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
Front and side air bags caninjure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
Move your seat as far back as practical from the front air
bags, while still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnec-
essarily close to the air bags.
Improperly positioned drivers
and passengers can be severe-
ly injured by inflating air bags.
Never lean agai nst the door or
center console – always sit in an upright position.
Do not allow a passenger to ride in the front seat when the
passenger’s front air bag OFFindicator is illuminated,
because the air bag will not
deploy in the event of a mod-
erate or severe frontal crash.

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.
