Safety features of your vehicle
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
4. Emergency fastening device (EFD)*
* : if equipped
✽✽NOTICE
 When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
 Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tension-
er seat belts were activated.
 Because the sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with
the pre-tensioner seat belt, the SRS
air bag warning light on the instru-
ment panel will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds after the
ignition switch has been turned to
the "ON" position, and then it
should turn off.WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit
from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be working correctly and adjusted to the
proper position. Please read
and follow all of the important
information and precautions
about your vehicle’s occupant
safety features – including
seat belts and air bags – that
are provided in this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passen- gers always wear seat belts
properly.

CAUTION
If the pre-tensioner seat belt is
not working properly, the SRS air 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 whilstthe vehicle is being driven, we recommend that the system beinspected by an authorised Kiadealer.
WARNING
Pre-tensioners seat belts sys- tems 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 collision.
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 recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorised 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 assemblies, and failure to heed the warnings
not to strike, modify, inspect,
replace, service or repair thepre-tensioner seat belt assem-
blies may lead to improper
operation or inadvertent activa-
tion and serious injury.
Always wear the seat belts when driving or riding in a
motor vehicle.
If the vehicle or pre-tensioner seat belt must be discarded,
we recommend that you con-
tact an authorised Kia dealer.
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 anauthorised Kia dealer.

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 serious frontal or side col-lision (if equipped with side air bag
or curtain air bag) in order to help
protect the occupants 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 an
accident. It is much more likely that
you will simply see the deflated air
bags hanging out of their storage
compartments after the collision.
In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags
must inflate rapidly. The speed ofair bag inflation is a consequence
of extremely short time in which acollision occurs and the need to
get the air bag between the occu-
pant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe col-
lision and is thus a necessary partof air bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and bro-
ken bones because the inflationspeed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.WARNING
Even in vehicles with air bags, you and your passengers must
always wear the safety belts
provided in order to minimise
the risk and severity of injury
in the event of a collision or in
most rollover situation.
SRS and pretensioners con- tain explosive chemicals.
If scraping a vehicle without
removing SRS and pretension-
ers from a vehicle, it may cause
fire. Before scraping a vehicle,
we recommend that you con-
tact an authorised 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.

Safety features of your vehicle
There are even circumstancesunder which contact with the
steering wheel air bag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively close to the steering wheel.Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise and they leave smoke
and powder in the air inside of 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 substantial discomfort in breath-
ing due to the contact of your chestwith 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 discomfort and prevent
prolonged exposure 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
the 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 ste ering
wheel air bag. The front pas-
senger should always move
their seat as far back as pos-
sible and sit back in their seat.
Air bag inflates instantly in an event of a collision, passen-
gers 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 thesteering 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 areas internal
components immediately after
an air bag has inflated.
