✽ ✽NOTICE
• Do not use car seat cushions or
covers that cover up the surface of
the seat and aftermarket manu-
factured passenger seat heaters.
• After the passenger seat has been removed or installed for repair
purposes, check for normal opera-
tion of the “PASSENGER AIR
BAG “OFF”” and air bag warning
lights with a person seated or not
seated in the passenger seat.
• After conducting car interior cleaning using steam or detergent,
the seat should be dried properly.
Afterward, check for normal
operation of the “PASSENGER
AIR BAG “OFF”” and air bag
warning lights.
• Any service related to the passen- ger seat and the ODS must be
done at Kia service center.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
“OFF”” symbol is illuminated, the
passenger air bag system will not
operate. The passenger air bag sys-
tem will operate when necessary if
the symbol is not illuminated.
✽ ✽NOTICE
Do not modify or replace the front
passenger seat. Don't place anything
on or attach anything such as a blan-
ket, front seat cover or after market
seat heater to the front passenger
