How does the air bag system operate
Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
or START position.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of a serious frontal collisionor side collision (if equipped with a
side air bag or curtain air bag) inorder to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
✽✽ NOTICE - For Europe
Also, the air bags inflate instantly in
the event of a rollover (if equipped
with a side air bag or curtain air bag)
in order to help protect the occu-
pants from serious physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These
two factors determine whether thesensors produce an electronic
deployment/ inflation signal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors including vehiclespeed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. The determin-
ing factors are not limited to those
mentioned above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during anaccident.
It is much more likely that you will simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
WARNING
Even in vehicles with air bags, you and your passengers
must always wear the safety
belts provided in order to min-
imize the risk and severity of
injury in the event of a colli-
sion or rollover.
SRS and pretensioners con- tain explosive chemicals.
If scraping a vehicle without
removing SRS and preten-
sioners from a vehicle, it may
cause fire. Before scraping a
vehicle, we recommend that
you contact an authorized Kia
dealer.
Keep the SRS parts and wirings away from water or any
liquid. If the SRS components
are inoperative due to expo-
sure to water or liquids, it may
cause fire or severe injury.

order to avoid a starting malfunction.
✽
✽ NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose
your keys, we recommend that you
consult an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition key is an important part of theimmobilizer system. It is designed to give years of trou-ble-free service, however youshould avoid exposure to mois-ture, static electricity and rough handling. Immobilizer systemmalfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessoriesnear the ignition switch. Metalaccessories may interrupt the transponder signal and mayprevent the engine from beingstarted.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust theimmobilizer system because itcould cause the immobilizer sys- tem to malfunction. We recom-mend that the system be serv-iced by an authorized Kia dealer.
Malfunctions caused by improp-er alterations, adjustments or modifications to the immobilizersystem are not covered by yourvehicle manufacturer warranty.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys

tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential. Do
not leave this number anywhere
in your vehicle.

Turn signals and lane change signals
The ignition switch must be on for the
turn signals to function. To turn on
the turn signals, move the lever up or
down (A). The green arrow indicators
on the instrument panel indicate
which turn signal is operating. They
will self-cancel after a turn is com-
pleted. If the indicator continues to
flash after a turn, manually return the
lever to the OFF position. To signal a lane change, move the
turn signal lever slightly and hold it in
position (B). The lever will return tothe OFF position when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one of
the turn signal bulbs may be burnedout and will require replacement.One-touch lane change function
