Kia Picanto 2006 Owner's Manual page 71

WARNING
• The driver is responsible for
the proper position of the
front passenger's air bag
ON/OFF switch.
• Deactivate the front passen-
ger's air bag only when the
ignition switch is switched off,
or the malfunction may occur
in the SRS Control Module.
And there may be a danger
that the driver's and/or front
passenger's and/or side and
curtain air bag may fail to trig-
ger, or not trigger correctly
during a collision.
• Never install a rearward facing
child seat on the front passen-
ger's seat unless the front
passenger's air bag has been
deactivated.The infant or child
could be severely injured or
killed by an air bag deploy-
ment in case of an accident.

(Continued)
• Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the front pas-
senger's air bag ON/OFF
switch, do not install a child
restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A child
restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat.
Children who are too large for
child restraint systems should
always occupy the rear seat
and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. Children
are afforded the most safety in
the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a prop-
er restraint system in the rear
seat.
• As soon as the child seat is no
longer needed on the front
passenger's seat, reactivate
the front passenger's air bag.
Knowing your vehicle
WARNING
• The front seat passenger's
airbag is much larger than the
steering wheel airbag and
inflates with considerably
more force. It can seriously
hurt or kill a passenger who is
not in the proper position and
wearing the safety belt proper-
ly. The front passengers
should always move their seat
as far back as practical and sit
back in their seat.
• It is essential that the front
passengers always wear their
safety belts, even when the
vehicle is moving in a parking
lot or up a driveway into
garage.
