If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, the SRSair bag warning light will illumi- nate even if there is no malfunc-tion of the SRS air bag. If theSRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the ignitionkey is turned to ON, or if itremains illuminated after illumi- nating for approximately 6 sec-onds, or if it illuminates whilethe vehicle is being driven, werecommend that the system be inspected by an authorized Kiadealer.
CAUTION
Body work on the front area of the vehicle may damage the pre-tensioner seat belt system.Therefore, we recommend that the system be serviced by anauthorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
Pre-tensioners are designed to operate only one time. After
activation, pre-tensioner seat
belts must be replaced. All
seat belts, of any type, should
always be replaced after they
have been worn during a colli-sion.
The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanisms become
hot during activation. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies for several min-
utes after they have been acti-
vated.
Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belts yourself. We recommendthat the system be inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Do not attempt to service or repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt system in any manner.
(Continued)(Continued)
Improper handling of the pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
blies, and failure to heed the
warnings not to strike, modify,
inspect, replace, service orrepair the pre-tensioner seat
belt assemblies may lead to
improper operation or inadver-
tent activation and serious
injury.

Your vehicle is equipped with a side air bag in each front seat.
The purpose of the air bag is to pro-
vide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional pro-
tection than that offered by the seat
belt alone. The side air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact. However, when side
deployment threshold is satisfied at
front-impact, side air bags may
deploy. The side air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
or rollover situations.
The side air bags may deploy on the
side of the impact or on both side.
✽✽
NOTICE - if equipped with
rollover sensor
 Also, both side of the side air bags deploy in certain rollover situa-
tions.
 The side air bag may deploy when the rollover sensor detects the situ-
ation as a rollover.
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
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 motion. The air
bags deploy only in certain
side impact or rollover* 1
condi-
tions severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicleoccupants.
(Continued)
*1
Only vehicle equipped with rollover sensor.
(Continued)
For best protection from the
side air bag system and to
avoid being injured by the
deploying side air bag, both
front seat occupants shouldsit in an upright position with
the seat belt properly fastened.The driver's hands should beplaced on the steering wheel atthe 9:00 and 3:00 positions.
The passenger's arms and hands should be placed ontheir laps.
Do not use any accessory seat covers.
Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effec-tiveness of the system.
To prevent unexpected deployment of the side air bag
that may result in personal
injury, avoid impact to theside impact sensor when the
ignition switch is on.
If the seat or seat cover is damaged, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING
In order for side and curtain air bags to provide the best
protection, front seat occu-
pants and outboard rearoccupants should sit in anupright position with the seat
belts properly fastened.
Importantly, children should
sit in a proper child restraintsystem in the rear 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 possible,
and secure the child restraint
system in a locked position.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not allow the passengers tolean their heads or bodies
against doors, put their arms
on the doors, stretch their
arms out of the window orplace objects between the
doors and passengers when
they are seated on seats
equipped with side and curtain
air bags.
Never try to open or repair any components of the side curtain
air bag system. We recommend
that the system be serviced by
an authorized Kia dealer.
Failure to follow the above
instructions can result in injury
or death to the vehicle occu-pants in an accident.WARNING - No attaching objects
Do not place any objects over the air bag. Also, do not attach
any objects around the area
the air bag inflates such as the
door, side door glass, front
and rear pillar, roof side rail.
Do not hang hard or breakable objects on the coat hook.
Do not hang heavy items on the coat hooks for safely rea-sons.

WARNING - For Europe
If your vehicle is equipped with
side and curtain air bag, set the
ignition switch to OFF or ACC
position when the vehicle is
being towed.
The side and curtain air bag
may deploy when the ignitions
is ON, and the rollover sensordetects the situation as a
rollover.WARNING
Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where
air bag or sensors are installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, which could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
We recommend that the sys-
tem be serviced by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
Problems may arise if the sen-sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body
or front door and C pillars
where side collision sensors
are installed. We recommend
that the system be serviced
by an authorized Kia dealer.
Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact
and deploy the air bag(s) in
certain collisions. Installing
bumper guards or replacing a
bumper with non-genuine
parts may adversely affect
your vehicles collision and air
bag deployment performance.

Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees, where the
point of impact is concentrated to
one area and the full force of the
impact is not delivered to the sen-
sors. 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, werecommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
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 per-
formance 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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
No objects should be placedover 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.
If the air bags inflate, we rec- ommend that the system be
replaced by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Do not tamper with or discon- nect SRS wiring, or othercomponents of the SRS sys-
tem. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental infla-
tion of the air bags or by ren-
dering the SRS inoperative.
