Occupant Detection System
(ODS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an
occupant detection system in the
front passenger's seat.The occupant detection system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air
bag should be enabled (may inflate)
or not. Only the front passenger front
air bag is controlled by the Occupant
Classification System.
(Continued)
The SRS can function only
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position. If the SRS air
bag warning light does not illu-
minate, or continuously
remains on after illuminating
for about 6 seconds when the
ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, or after the
engine is started, comes on
while driving, the SRS is not
working properly. If this
occurs, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position and remove the
ignition switch. Never remove
or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition switch
is in the ON position. Failure to
observe this warning will cause
the SRS air bag warning light to
illuminate.
WARNING
Do not put anything in front of the
passenger air bag indicator.
