Safety features of your vehicle

Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
may become dangerous projectiles if the
air bag deploys.
Flying objects
Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and
the front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles if the side airbag
inflates.
僅 If an air bag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These condi
-
tions are normal and are not hazard
-
ous - the air bags are packed in this
fine powder. The dust generated
during air bag deployment may cause
skin or eye irritation as well as aggra
-
vate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with cold water and a mild
soap after an accident in which the air
bags were deployed.
僅 The SRS can function only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position. If
the SRS air bag warning light does not
appear, or continuously remains on
after appearing for about 6 seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position, or after the engine is
started, comes on while driving, the
SRS is not working properly. If this
occurs, have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect
a battery terminal, turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK position and remove
the ignition key. Never remove or
replace the air bag related fuse(s) when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Failure to heed this warning will cause
the SRS air bag warning light to appear.

-
pant detection system in the front pas

bag should be enabled (may inflate) or
not. Only the front passenger front air
bag is controlled by the Occupant
Detection System.
Do not put anything in front of the pas
-
senger air bag indicator.

-
mines whether the passenger air bag
systems should be activated or deac
-
tivated.
