Safety features of your vehicle
Condition and operation in the front passenger occupant detectionsystem
*1: The ODS system uses a field to evaluate a person's size to determine whether the
air bag should deploy. It is possible for a child to be detected and activate the ODS,
thus allowing the air bag to deploy. To maximize safety, do not allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat.
*
2: Never install a child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
WARNING
Riding in an improper position
or placing weight on the front
passenger's seat when it is
unoccupied by a passenger
adversely affects the Occupant
Detection System (ODS). Your
ODS is designed to resist elec-
tronic waves, but do not place an
electronic device (ex. laptop
computer, after market DMB/nav-
igation/satellite audio, video
game machine, MP3, etc.) on or
near the seat cushion since it
may defeat the proper function-
ing of the ODS or turn on the air
bag warning light. (Continued)Condition detected by the
occupant detection system

Safety features of your vehicle
When an adult is seated in the front
passenger seat, if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG “OFF” indicator is on, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion and ask the passenger to sit
properly (sitting upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their seat
belt on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor). Restart
the engine and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow
the system to detect the person and
to enable the passenger air bag.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”
indicator is still on, ask the passen-
ger to move to the rear seat.
✽ ✽NOTICE
The PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position or after
the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is occupied, the occu-
pant detection sensor will then clas-
sify the front passenger after several
more seconds.
B990A01OWARNING
Do not put a heavy load or an
active electronic device (ex. lap-
top computer, after market
DMB/navigation/satellite audio,
video game machine, MP3, etc.)
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 passenger 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 sen-
sor operation or turn on the air
bag warning light.
Proper position
WARNING
Do not allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front seat when the
PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”
indicator is illuminated because
the air bag will not deploy in the
event of a crash. If the PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator
remains illuminated after the
adult passenger repositions
themselves properly and the
vehicle is restarted, have the
passenger move to the rear seat
because the passenger's front
air bag will not deploy.
Front seat passengers must
stay properly seated to avoid
serious injury from a deploying
air bag.

Safety features of your vehicle
Driver's and passenger's front
air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Advanced Supplemental Restraint
(Air Bag) System and lap/shoulder
belts at both the driver and passen-
ger seating position.
WARNING
If the occupant detection sys-
tem is not working properly, the
SRS air bag warning light on
the instrument panel will illumi-
nate because the passenger's
front air bag is connected with
the occupant detection system.
If there is a malfunction of the
occupant detection system, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF”
indicator will not illuminate and
the passenger's front air bag
will inflate in frontal impact
crashes even if there is no occu-
pant in the front passenger's
seat. If the SRS air bag warning
light does not illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position, remains illumi-
nated after approximately 6 sec-
onds when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, or if it
illuminates while the vehicle is
being driven, have an author-
ized Kia dealer inspect the occu-
pant detection system and the
SRS air bag system as soon as
possible.
(Continued)
Do not place an electronicdevice (ex. laptop computer,
after market DMB/navigation/
satellite audio, video game
machine, MP3, etc.) on the
front passenger seat. Its elec-
tronic field may cause the ODS
to switch to the "on" condition
and thus turn on the air bag
warning light or allow the pas-
senger air bag to deploy need-
lessly in a collision, increasing
your repair costs.
