✽
✽
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 detection system and your
advanced air bags. For the same
reason, do not attach anything to
the seat, dashboard or door, even
temporarily. If the system 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
detection 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.

Power steering
Power steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in steering the vehi-
cle. If the engine is off or if the power
steering system becomes inoperative,
the vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer-
ing checked by an Authorized Kia Dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the vehicle is parked for extended
periods outside in cold weather (below -
10 °C/14 °F), the power steering may
require increased effort when the engine
is first started. This is caused by
increased fluid viscosity due to the cold
weather and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When this happens, increase the engine
RPM by depressing accelerator until the
RPM reaches 1,500 rpm then release or
let the engine idle for two or three min-
utes to warm up the fluid.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel
against a stop (extreme right orleft turn) for more than 5 secondswith the engine running. Holding the steering wheel for more than5 seconds in either position may cause damage to the power steer-ing pump.
If the power steering drive belt breaks or if the power steeringpump malfunctions, the steering effort will greatly increase.
