Safety features of your vehicle
If any of the following conditions
occur, this indicates a malfunction in
the air bag system. Have an author-
ized K900 Kia dealer inspect the air
bag system as soon as possible.
 The air bag warning light does notturn on briefly when you turn the
Engine Start/Stop button to the ON
position.
 The air bag warning light stays on after illuminating for approximately
6 seconds.
 The air bag warning light comes on while the vehicle is in motion.
 The air bag warning light blinks when the Engine Start/Stop button
to the ON position. The front air bag modules are locat-
ed both in the center of the steering
wheel 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 visibility
and the ability to steer or operate
other controls.  If an air bag deploys, there may be
a loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These con-
ditions are normal and are not haz-
ardous - the air bags are packed in
this fine powder. The dust generat-
ed during air bag deployment may
cause skin or eye irritation as well
as aggravate asthma for some per-
sons. Always wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly with cold
water and a mild soap after an
accident in which the air bags were
deployed.

WARNING- Air bag
obstructions
Do not install or place any
accessories on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, or on
the front passenger's panel
above the glove box in a vehi-
cle. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles if the air
bag deploys.
WARNING- Flying objects
Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat.
Such objects may become dan-
gerous projectiles if the side
airbag inflates.

Safety features of your vehicle
Driver's and passenger's front
air bagYour vehicle is equipped with an
Advanced Supplemental Restraint
(Air Bag) System and lap/shoulder
belts at both the driver and passen-
ger seating position.
The indication of the system's pres-
ence are the letters “AIR BAG” located
on the air bag pad cover on the steer-
ing wheel and the passenger's side
front panel pad above the glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags
installed under the pad covers in the
center 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 front
passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt sys-
tem alone in case of a frontal impact
of sufficient severity. The SRS uses
sensors to gather information about
the driver's and front passenger's
seat belt usage and impact severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors deter-
mine if the driver and front passen-
ger's seat belts are fastened.These sensors provide the ability to
control the SRS deployment based on
whether or not the seat belts are fas-
tened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation with
two levels. A first stage level is pro-
vided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.
The passenger’s front air bag is
designed to help reduce the injury of
children sitting close to the instru-
ment panel in low speed collisions.
However, children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear seat.
According to the impact severity and
seat belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS
Control Module) controls the air bag
inflation. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The driver’s hands should be placed on
the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger’s arm and
hands should be placed on their laps.

Safety features of your vehicle
Side air bagYour vehicle is equipped with a side
air bag in each front seat. The pur-
pose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front pas-
senger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt alone.
 The side air bags are designed todeploy during certain side-impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point of
impact. However, when side deploy-
ment threshold is satisfied in a front-
impact crash, the side air bags may
deploy.
 The side air bags may deploy on the side of the impact or on both
sides.
 The side and/or curtain air bags on both sides of the vehicle will deploy
if a rollover or possible rollover is
detected.
 The side air bags are not designed to deploy in all side impact or
rollover situations.
WARNING - No attaching
objects 
 No objects (such as a crash pad cover, cellular phone
holder, cup holder, perfume or
stickers) should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, windshield
glass, and the front passen-
ger's panel above the glove
box. Such objects 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.
 Never place or insert any object  into any small opening
near side airbag labels
attached to the vehicle seats.
When the air bag deploys, the
object may affect the deploy-
ment and result in an unex-
pected accident or bodily
harm.

Features of your vehicle
Restrictions in handling keys
When leaving keys with parking lot
and valet attendants, the following
procedures will ensure that your
vehicle’s trunk and glove box com-
partment cannot be opened in your
absence.To activate the trunk lock system so
that the trunk can only be opened with
the main key, perform the following:
1. Unlock the glove box by using the
mechanical key, then open it.
2. Set the trunk lid control button to the LOCK position (pressed).
3. Close and lock the glove box using the main key.
When leaving your keys with a park-
ing lot or valet attendant, perform
steps 1 to 3 above, and leave the
auxiliary key with the attendant. If the
procedure above is followed, the aux-
iliary key can only be used to start the
engine and operate door locks.
Lock release
To release the trunk lock feature,
open the glove box with the mechan-
ical key and set the trunk lid control
button to the UNLOCK position
(unpressed).
Transmitter precautions
The smart key will not
work if any of following occurs:
 You exceed the operating distance limit (about 32.8 feet [10 m]).
 The battery in the smart key is weak.
 Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal.
 The weather is extremely cold.
 The smart key is close to a radio transmitter such as a radio station
or an airport which can interfere
with normal operation of the trans-
mitter.
If the smart key does not work cor-
rectly, you may lock and unlock the
door with the mechanical key. If you
have a problem with the smart key,
contact an authorized K900 Kia deal-
er.
