Seat belt precautionsCAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is notworking properly, the SRS air bag
warning light will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of the SRSair bag. If the SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to ON, or if itremains illuminated after illuminat-ing for approximately 6 seconds, or
if it illuminates while the vehicle isbeing driven, we recommend thatthe system be inspected by anauthorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
 Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After acti-
vation, pre-tensioner seat belts
must be replaced. All seat belts,
of any type, should always be
replaced after they have been
worn during a collision.
(Continued)
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraintsreduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries for all occupants in the
event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants
could be shifted too close to a
deploying air bag, strike the interior
structure or be thrown from the
vehicle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags and occu-
pant seat contained in this manual.
(Continued)
 The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat belt
assemblies for several minutes
after they have been activated.
 Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. We recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
 Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat belt
system in any manner.
 Improper handling of the pre-ten- sioner seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings not
to strike, modify, inspect, replace,
service or repair the pre-tensioner
seat belt assemblies may lead to
improper operation or inadvertent
activation and serious injury.
 Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehi-
cle.
 If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat belt must be discarded, we rec-
ommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer.

Curtain air bag (if equipped)
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors. They are designed to helpprotect the heads of the front seat occu-pants and the rear outboard seat occu-
pants in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and point of impact. The
curtain air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations, colli-
sions from the front or rear of the vehicle
or in most rollover situations.

(Continued)
 Use of seat covers could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness of the system.
 Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side impact
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
front door and the front seat.
Such objects may become dan-
gerous projectiles and cause
injury if the supplemental side
impact air bag inflates.
 To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side impact air bag
that may result in personal injury,
avoid impact to the side impact
sensor when the ignition key ison.
 If the seat or seat cover is dam- aged, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
❈The actual air bags in the vehicle may dif-
fer from the illustration.

 Do not allow the passengers tolean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and passen-
gers when they are seated onseats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
 Never try to open or repair any components of the side curtain
air bag system. We recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above men-tioned instructions can result in
injury or death to the vehicle occu-pants in an accident.WARNING
 In order for side impact and cur- tain air bags to provide the best
protection, both front seat occu-
pants and both outboard rearoccupants should sit in anupright position with the seat
belts properly fastened.
Importantly, children should sit in
a proper child restraint system inthe rear seat.
 When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they must be
seated in the proper childrestraint system.
Make sure to put the child
restraint system as far away from
the door side as possible, and
secure the child restraint system
in a locked position.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on the intensi-
ty, speed or angles of impact of the frontcollision.
WARNING
 Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air bag
or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal injuryor 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 perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensors. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
 Problems may arise if the sensorinstallation angles are changed
due to the deformation of the
front bumper, body or B pillar and
C pillars where side collision sen-
sors 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 bumper guards or
replacing a bumper with non-gen-
uine parts may adversely affect
your vehicles collision and air
bag deployment performance.

Safety features of your vehicle
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 con-
tinuously remains on, we recommend
that the system be inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
 Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the addition
of any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
 For cleaning the air bag pad cov- ers, 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
deployment of the system.
 No objects should be placed over or near the air bag modules 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.
(Continued)(Continued)
 If the air bags inflate, we recom-mend that the system be replaced
by an authorized Kia dealer.
 Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to acci-
dental inflation of the air bags or
by rendering the SRS inopera-
tive.
 If components of the air bag sys- tem must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions 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 floor-
ing, you shouldn't try to start the
engine; we recommend that you
contact an authorized Kia dealer.
