WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear
seat. A child riding in the front
passenger seat can be force-
fully struck by an inflating air
bag resulting in serious orfatal injuries.
Always follow the child restraint system manufactur-
er’s instructions for installation
and use of the child restraint.
Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the
vehicle and your child is
securely restrained in the
child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces cre-ated during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and
throw the child against the
vehicle’s interior.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never put a seat belt overyourself and a child. During a
crash, the belt could press
deep into the child causingserious internal injuries.
Never leave children unat- tended in a vehicle – not even
for a short time. The car can
heat up very quickly, resulting
in serious injuries to children
inside. Even very young chil-
dren may inadvertently cause
the vehicle to move, entangle
themselves in the windows, or
lock themselves or others
inside the vehicle.
Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use thesame seat belt.
Children often squirm and reposition themselves improp-
erly. Never let a child ride withthe shoulder belt under their
arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and
secure children in the rear seat.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel on the seat or floor
of a moving vehicle. During a
collision or sudden stop, the
child can be violently thrown
against the vehicle’s interior,
resulting in serious injury.
Never use an infant carrier or a child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not
provide adequate security inan accident.
Seat belts can become very hot, especially when the vehi-
cle is parked in direct sunlight.
Always check seat belt buck-
les before fastening them over
a child.
After an accident, we recom- mend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
If there is not enough space to place the child restraint sys-tem because of the driver's
seat, install the child restraintsystem in the rear right seat.

In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraints in the front passen-
ger’s seat either. If the front passen-
ger air bag inflates, it could cause
serious or fatal injuries to the child. Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning
light in your instrument panel is to
alert you of a potential problem with
your air bag - Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).
When the ignition switch is turned
ON, the warning light should illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds,
then go off.
Have the system checked if:
The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the engine start/stop
button to the ON position.
WARNING
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat pro-
tected by an ACTIVE AIR BAG
in front of it, DEATH or SERI-
OUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
Never put a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If
the front passenger air bag
inflates, it can cause serious
or fatal injuries.
When children are seated in the rear outboard seats of a
vehicle equipped with side
and/or curtain air bags, be sure
to install the child restraint sys-
tem as far away from the door
side as possible, and securely
lock the child restraint system
in position. Inflation of side
and/or curtain air bags could
cause serious injury or death
to an infant or child.

The light stays on after illuminatingfor approximately 6 seconds.
The light comes on while the vehi- cle is in motion.
The light blinks when the engine start/stop button is in ON position. SRS components and func- tions
The SRS consists of the following components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors 10. Driver’s knee air bag module
11. Driver’s and front passenger’s
seat belt buckle sensors.*
* : if equipped
The SRSCM continually monitors all SRS components while the engine
start/stop button is ON to determine
if a crash impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light " "
on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate for about 6 seconds after the
engine start/stop button is turned tothe ON position, after which the SRS
air bag warning light " " should goout.

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.

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.

(Continued)
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 about 6
seconds when the ignition key
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, 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.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 gen-
erated during air bag deploy-
ment may cause skin or eye
irritation as well as aggravate
asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin
areas thoroughly with luke-warm water and a mild soap
after an accident in which the
air bags were deployed.

No objects should be placed
over 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)
ABC – Always Buckle Childrenin the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age
to ride.
Front and side air bags can injure 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.
(Continued)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.

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 illumi-
nate, or continuously remains on, werecommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.(Continued)
No objects should be placed
over 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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If components of the air bagsystem 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.
