Safety features of your vehicle
Noise and smoke
When inflated, the air bags make a
loud noise and leave smoke and
powder in the air inside the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the air bag inflator. After
the air bag inflates, you may feel sub-
stantial discomfort in breathing due
to the contact of your chest with both
the seat belt and the air bag, as well
as from breathing the smoke and
powder.Open your doors and/or
windows as soon as possible after
impact in order to reduce discom-
fort and prevent prolonged expo-
sure to the smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the
skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc). If
this is the case, wash and rinse with
cold water immediately and consult a
doctor if the symptom persists.WARNING
To avoid severe personal injury or death caused by
deploying air bags in a colli-
sion, the driver should sit as
far back from the steering
wheel air bag. The front pas-
sengers should always move
their seats as far back as pos-
sible and sit back in their seat.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of a collision, and pas-
sengers may be injured by the
air bag expansion force if they
are not in a proper position.
Air bag inflation may cause injuries including facial or
bodily abrasions, injuries
from broken glasses or burns.
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag related parts in the
steering wheel and/or instru-
ment panel and/or in both sides
of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors are very hot. To
prevent injury, do not touch the
air bag storage area’s internal
components immediately after
an air bag has inflated.

Safety features of your vehicle
Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
(Continued)
Do not install any accessorieson the side or near the side 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
air bag inflates.
To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side air bag that
may result in personal injury,
avoid impact to the side impact
sensor when the ignition
switch is on.
If seat or seat cover is dam- aged, have the vehicle checked
and repaired by an authorized
Kia dealer. Inform the dealer
that your vehicle is equipped
with side air bags and an occu-
pant detection system.WARNING
The side air bag is supplemen-tal to the driver's and the pas-
senger's 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 operation.
For best protection from the side air bag system and to
avoid being injured by the
deploying side air bag, both
front seat occupants should
sit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steer-
ing wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger's
arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.
Do not use any accessory seat covers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effec-
tiveness of the system.

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,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such
as removing, installing, repairing, or
any work on the steering wheel, the
front passenger’s panel, front seats
and roof rails must be performed by
an authorized Kia dealer. Improper
handling of the SRS system may
result in serious personal injury.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 perform-
ance 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.
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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If the air bags inflate, theymust be replaced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
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 inflation of
the air bags or by rendering the
SRS inoperative.
If components of the air bag system must be discarded, or if
the vehicle must be scrapped,
certain safety precautions must
be observed. An authorized Kia
dealer knows these precau-
tions and can give you the nec-
essary information. Failure to
follow these precautions and
procedures could increase the
risk of personal injury.
If your vehicle was flooded and has soaked carpeting or
water on flooring, you should-
n't try to start the engine;
have the vehicle towed to an
authorized Kia dealer.

Features of your vehicle
Power windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window
switch that controls the door's win-
dow. The driver has a power window
lock button which can block the oper-
ation of passenger windows. The
power windows can be operated for
approximately 30 seconds after the
ignition key is removed or turned to
the ACC or LOCK position. However,
if the front doors are opened, the
power windows cannot be operated
even within the 30 second period.
✽ ✽NOTICE
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if
equipped) in an open (or partially
open) position, your vehicle may
demonstrate a wind buffeting or
pulsation noise. This noise is a nor-
mal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the follow-
ing actions. If the noise occurs with
one or both of the rear windows
down, partially lower both front
windows approximately one inch. If
you experience the noise with the
sunroof open, slightly reduce the
size of the sunroof opening.
Window opening and closing
The driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the
windows in the vehicle.
To open or close a window, press
down or pull up the front portion of
the corresponding switch to the first
detent position (5).

If your vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, you can slide or tilt your
sunroof with the sunroof control lever
located on the overhead console (1).
The sunroof can only be opened,
closed, or tilted when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• In cold and wet climates, the sun-
roof may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• After a vehicle is washed or in a rainstorm be sure to wipe off any
water that is on the sunroof before
operating it.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The sunroof cannot tilt when it is in
the slide position but can be slid
while in a tilt position.
PANORAMIC SUNROOF (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Do not continue to pull or push
the sunroof control lever afterthe sunroof is fully opened,closed, or tilted. Damage to themotor or system componentscould occur.
WARNING
Never adjust the sunroof or roller blind while driving. This
could result in loss of control
and an accident that may
cause death, serious injury, or
property damage.
If you would like to carry items on the roof rack using a cross
bar, do not operate the sunroof.
When carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not load heavy
items above the sunroof or
glass roof.
All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at
all times. Seat belts and child
restraints reduce serious or
fatal injuries for all occupants
in the event of a collision or
sudden stop.
