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.

Smart key precautions
✽✽NOTICE
 If, for some reason, you happen to lose your smart key, you will not
be able to start the engine. Tow
the vehicle, if necessary, and con-
tact an authorized Kia dealer.
 A maximum of 2 smart keys can be registered to a single vehicle. If
you lose a smart key, you should
immediately take the vehicle and
key to your authorized Kia dealer
to protect it from potential theft.
 The smart key will not work if any of the following occurs:
- The smart key is close to a radiotransmitter such as a radio sta-
tion or an airport which can
interfere with normal operation
of the smart key.
- The smart key is near a mobile two-way radio system or a cellu-
lar phone.
- Another vehicle’s smart key is being operated close to your
vehicle. (Continued)(Continued)
When the smart key does not work
properly, open and close the door
with the mechanical key. If you
have a problem with the smart
key, contact an authorized Kia
dealer.
 If the smart key is in close proxim- ity to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the smart
key could be blocked by normal
operation of your cell phone or
smart phone. This is especially
important when the phone is
active such as making call, receiv-
ing calls, text messaging, and/or
sending/receiving emails. Avoid
placing the smart key and your
cell phone or smart phone in the
same pants or jacket pocket and
maintain adequate distance
between the two devices. CAUTION
Keep the smart key away from
water or any liquid. If the key-less entry system is inoperative due to exposure to water or liq-uids, it will not be covered byyour manufacturer’s vehiclewarranty.
CAUTION
Keep the smart key away fromelectromagnetic materials thatblocks electromagnetic waves to the key surface.

Rear parking assist system precautions
The rear parking assist systemmay not sound consistently depending on the speed andshapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumperheight or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a softcloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.✽✽ NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; It can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be detected
by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.WARNING
Pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to
objects on the road, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children. Be aware that some
objects may not be detected by
the sensors, due to the object’s
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor. Always per-
form a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving
the vehicle in any direction.
