The air bag modules are located
both in the centre of the steeringwheel and in the front passenger's
panel above the glove box. When the
SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe
impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front air
bags. Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Further
opening of the covers then allows full
inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver's or the passenger's
forward motion, reducing the risk of
head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibili-
ty and the ability to steer or operate
other controls.

WARNING
Do not install or place any accessories (drink holder, CD
holder, sticker, etc.) on the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box in a vehicle with
a passenger's air bag. Such
objects may become danger-
ous projectiles and cause
injury if the passenger's air
bag inflates.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When installing a container ofliquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not place it near
the instrument cluster nor on
the instrument panel surface.
It may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.

Passenger’s front air bag (if equipped)
WARNING
If an air bag deploys, there may be a loud noise followed by a fine dust released in the vehi-
cle. These conditions are nor-
mal and are not hazardous - the
air bags are packed in this fine
powder. The dust generated
during air bag deployment may
cause skin or eye irritation as
well as aggravate asthma for
some persons. Always wash all
exposed skin areas thoroughlywith cold water and a mild
soap after an accident in which
the air bags were deployed.

(Continued)
The SRS can function onlywhen the ignition key is in the
ON position. If the SRS air bagwarning light does not illumi-
nate, or continuously remains
on after illuminating for about 6
seconds when the ignition key
is turned to the ON position, or
after the engine is started,
comes on whilst driving, the
SRS is not working properly. If
this occurs, we recommendthat the system be inspected
by an authorised Kia dealer.
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position and remove
the ignition key. Never remove
or replace the air bag relatedfuse(s) when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning
will cause the SRS air bag
warning light to illuminate.

Driver's and passenger's front
air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)System and lap/shoulder belts at both
the driver and passenger seating posi-
tions. The indications of the system's pres-
ence are the letters "AIR BAG"
intagliated on the air bag pad cover
in the steering wheel and the pas-
senger's side front panel pad above
the glove box. The SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the
centre of the steering wheel 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.

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 Childrenin the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age
to ride.
Front and side air bags can injure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
Move your seat as far back as practical from the front air
bags, whilst still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bags. Improperly positioned
drivers and passengers can
be severely injured by inflat-
ing air bags.
Never lean against the door or centre console – always sit inan upright position.
(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 suchobject could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags
to deploy.
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
whilst the vehicle is being
driven, we recommend that
the system be inspected by an
authorised Kia dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
Air bags can only be usedonce – we recommend that
the system be replaced by an
authorised Kia dealer.
The SRS is designed to deploy the front air bags only when an
impact is sufficiently severeand when the impact angle is
less than 30° from the forwardlongitudinal axis of the vehi-
cle. Additionally, the air bags
will only deploy once. Seat
belts must be worn at all times.
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 in caseof an accident.

Safety features of your vehicle
Side air bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air bag in each front seat.(Continued)
Even though your vehicle isequipped with the passenger's
front air bag ON/OFF switch,
do not install a child restraint
system in the front passen-
ger's seat. A child restraint
system must never be placed
in the front seat. Children who
are too large for child restraint
systems should always occu-
py the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts.
Children are afforded the most
safety in the event of an acci-
dent when they are restrained
by a proper restraint system inthe rear seat.
As soon as the child seat is no longer needed on the front
passenger's seat, reactivate
the front passenger's air bag.WARNING - No attaching objects
No objects (such as crash pad
cover, cellular phone holder, cup
holder, perfume or stickers)
should be placed over or near
the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument
panel, windscreen glass, and
the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Suchobjects could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags to
deploy. Do not place any objects
over the air bag or between the
air bag and yourself.

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
illuminate, or continuously remains
on, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorised 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.
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, we rec-ommend that the system be
replaced by an authorised 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.
If components of the air bag system must be discarded, or
if the vehicle must be
scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed.An authorised Kia dealer
knows these precautions and
can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow
these precautions and proce-dures could increase the risk
of personal injury.
If your car was flooded and has soaked carpeting or water
on flooring, you shouldn't try to
start the engine; we recom-
mend that you contact an
authorised Kia dealer.

When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristic.
Operating the air conditioning sys- tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.
During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
system operation characteristic. Climate control air filter The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dustor other pollutants that come into the
vehicle from the outside through theheating and air conditioning system.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air flow from the air vents may
decrease, resulting in moisture accu-
mulation on the inside of the wind-
screen even when the outside (fresh)
air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, we recommend that the cli-
mate control air filter be replaced by
an authorised Kia dealer.✽✽
NOTICE
 Replace the filter according to the Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty,
rough roads, more frequent cli-
mate control air filter inspections
and changes are required.
 When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, we recommend that the
system be checked by an autho-
rised Kia dealer.
