Knowing your vehicle
Repairing or scrapping the vehicle
• Repairing/replacing the steering
wheel, instrument panel, center con-
sole headliner/pillar trim, or modifying
vehicle sheet metal components could
disable the air bag system. Have such
repairs and maintenance performed by
an authorized Kia dealer.
• Special care must be taken in scrap-
ping or junking an air bag-equipped
vehicle. Always refer such activities to
a qualified professional.
WARNING - No mainte-
nance or repair
• Do not work on the air bag sys-
tem’s components or wiring. This
could cause the air bags to inflate
inadvertently, possibly seriously
injuring someone. Working on the
system could also disable the
system so that the air bags would
not deploy in a collision.
• Any work on the air bag system,
such as removing, installing, or
repairing the steering wheel must
be performed by a qualified Kia
technician. Improper handling of
the air bag system including the
steering wheel may result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
Air bag warning label
Air bag warning labels which are now required by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(CMVSS) are attached to alert driver and passengers of potential risk of air bag system.
Note that these government warnings focus on the risk to children, Kia also wants you to be
aware of the risks which adults are exposed to.Those have been described in previous pages.
