Driver's Front Air Bag - Kia Carens 2016 Owner's Manual

Safety features of your vehicle
(Continued)
• The SRS can function only
when the ignition key is in the
ON position. If the SRS air bag
warning light does not illumi-
nate, or continuously remains
on after illuminating for about
6 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the ON posi-
tion, or after the engine is
started, comes on while driv-
ing, the SRS is not working
properly. If this occurs, we
recommend that the system
be 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 illuminate.
