Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on
the intensity, speed or angles ofimpact of the front collision.
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, whichcould 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.
Have the system serviced by a
professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
(Continued)(Continued)
Problems may arise if the sen-sor installation angles are
changed due to the deforma-
tion of the front bumper, body
or B pillar and C pillars where
side collision sensors are
installed. In this case, have the
system serviced by a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
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.

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, have the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
For cleaning the air bag padcovers, 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.
If the air bags inflate, have the system replaced by a profes-
sional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not tamper with or discon-nect SRS wiring, or other components 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; in this
case, have your vehicle
inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommendsto contact an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
