Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
Air bag obstructions
Do not install or place any accesso-
ries on the steering wheel, instru-
ment panel, or on the front
passenger's panel above the glove
box in a vehicle. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles if the
air bag deploys.
WARNING
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.
If an air bag deploys, there may
be a loud noise followed by a fine
dust released in the vehicle. These
conditions are normal and are not
hazardous - 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 aggravate
asthma for some persons. Always
wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly with cold water and a mild
soap after an accident in which
the air bags were deployed.

The SRS can function only when
the ENGINE START/STOP Button
is in the ON Position or approxi-
mately within 3 minutes after
ignition off. The SRS is not work-
ing properly if any of the follow-
ing situations occur:
- the SRS airbag warning light
does not illuminate
- the SRS airbag warning light
remains on continuously after
illuminating for about 3~6 sec-
onds when the ENGINE START/
STOP button is turned to the
ON position or after the vehicle
is in ready mode
- the SRS airbag warning light
comes on while driving
If this occurs, have your vehicle
immediately inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE

nect a battery terminal, change the
ENGINE START/STOP button to the

replace the air bag related fuse(s)

ton is ON position. Failure to heed
this warning will cause the SRS air
bag warning light to illuminate.
