Driver's and passenger's front
air bag
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. The indications of the system's pres-
ence are the letters "SRS AIR BAG"
embossed on the air bag pad cover
in the steering wheel and/or on the
cover of the driver's side knee bolster
located below the steering wheel andthe passenger's side front panel pad
above the glove box.

The SRS can function only
when the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position. If
the SRS air bag warning light
does not illuminate, or continu-
ously remains on after illumi-
nating for about 6 seconds
when the Engine Start/Stop
button is turned to the ON posi-
tion, or after the engine is start-
ed, 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.

Safety features of your vehicle
The SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the
center of the steering wheel , in the
knee bolster below the steeringwheel column and the passenger's
side front panel above the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the frontpassenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt sys-tem alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity. The SRS uses
sensors to gather information about
the driver's seat position, the driver'sand front passenger's seat belt usage
and impact severity.The seat belt buckle sensors (if
equipped) determine if the driver and
front passenger's seat belts are fas-
tened. These sensors provide the
ability to control the SRS deploymentbased on whether or not the seat
belts are fastened, and how severe
the impact is.

Passenger’s front air bag
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.
ABC – Always Buckle Children in the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age
to ride.

Front air bags are not intended
to deploy in side-impact, rear-
impact or rollover crashes. In
addition, front air bags will not
deploy in frontal crashes below
the deployment threshold.
A child restraint system must never be placed in the front
seat. The infant or child could
be severely injured or killed
by an air bag deployment incase of an accident.
Children age 12 and under must always be properlyrestrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated
in the front seat, he or she
must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.
(Continued)(Continued)
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 driv-
en, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Air bags can only be used once – we recommend that
the system be replaced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
The SRS is designed to deploy the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe.
Additionally, the air bags will
only deploy once. Seat belts
must be worn at all times.
(Continued)(Continued)
Front and side air bags caninjure 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.
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.

Side air bag (Continued)
The SRS air bag system mustdeploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If anoccupant is out of positionbecause of not wearing a seat
belt, the air bag may forcefullycontact the occupant causingserious or fatal injuries.(Continued)
For maximum safety protec-tion in all types of crashes, all
occupants including the driver
should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an air bag
is also provided at their seat-
ing position to minimize the
risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessar-
ily close to the air bag while
the vehicle is in motion.
Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious
or fatal injury in a crash. Alloccupants should sit upright
with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seatcushion with their seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and
their feet on the floor until the
vehicle is parked and the
Engine Start/Stop button is inthe OFF position.

Your vehicle is equipped with a side air bag in each front and outboard rear
seat. The purpose of the air bag is to
provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront and outboard rear passengerswith additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point ofimpact.
The side air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact.
WARNING
The side air bag is supple- mental to the driver’s and the
passengers seat belt systems
and is not a substitute for
them. Therefore your seat
belts must be worn at all times
while the vehicle is in motion.
The air bags deploy only in
certain side impact conditions
severe enough to cause sig-
nificant injury to the vehicleoccupants.
For best protection from the side air bag system and to
avoid being injured by the
deploying side air bag, both
front and all rear (if equipped)seat occupants should sit inan upright position with the
seat belt properly fastened.The driver's hands should beplaced on the steering wheelat the 9:00 and 3:00 positions.
The passenger’ arms andhands should be placed ontheir laps.
(Continued)WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to lean 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.

WARNING
In order for side and curtain air bags to provide the best
protection, front seat occu-
pants and outboard rear occu-pants should sit in an uprightposition with the seat belts
properly fastened. Importantly,
children should sit in a proper
child restraint system in therear seat.
When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they
must be seated in the proper
child restraint system. Make
sure to position the child
restraint system as far away
from the door side as possi-
ble, and secure the child
restraint system in a lockedposition.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not allow the passengersto lean 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 passengers when theyare seated on seats equipped
with side and/or curtain air
bags.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never try to open or repair anycomponents 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 vehicleoccupants in an accident.

❈The actual air bags in the vehicle may dif-
fer from the illustration. Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensorsdepending on the strength, speed orangles of impact resulting from aside impact collision.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
and front passenger’s air bags) aredesigned to inflate only in frontal col-
lisions, they also may inflate in othertypes of collisions if the front impactsensors detect a sufficient impact.
Side and curtain air bags aredesigned to inflate only in side
impact collisions, but they may inflatein other collisions if the side impactsensors detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the
air bags may not deploy. The air
bags are designed not to deploy in
such cases because they may not
provide benefits beyond the pro-tection of the seat belts in such col-
lisions.

Additional safety precautions
All occupants should sit upright,fully back in their seats with their
seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.
Passengers should not move
out of or change seats while the
vehicle is moving. A passenger
who is not wearing a seat belt dur-
ing a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against other occupants,
or out of the vehicle.
Each seat belt is designed torestrain one occupant. If more
than one person uses the same
seat belt, they could be seriouslyinjured or killed in a collision.
Do not use any accessories onseat belts. Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or repo-sition the seat belt can reduce the
protection provided by the seat belt
and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.
Passengers should not place
hard or sharp objects between
themselves and the air bags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on
your lap or in your mouth can result
in injuries if an air bag inflates.
Keep occupants away from the
air bag covers. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in theirseats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor. If occupants
are too close to the air bag covers,
they could be injured if the air bags
inflate.
Do not attach or place objects
on or near the air bag covers.
Any object attached to or placed
on the front or side air bag covers
could interfere with the proper
operation of the air bags.
Do not modify the front seats.Modification of the front seats
could interfere with the operation of
the supplemental restraint systemsensing components or side air
bags.
Do not place items under the
front seats. Placing items under
the front seats could interfere with
the operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing compo-
nents and wiring harnesses.
Never hold an infant or child on
your lap. The infant or child could
be seriously injured or killed in the
event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly
restrained in appropriate child
safety seats or seat belts in therear seat.
