Safety features of your vehicle
Passenger's front air bag (if equipped)
WARNING
• Do not install or place any
accessories (drink holder,
cassette holder, sticker, etc.)
on the front passenger's
panel above the glove box in a
vehicle with a passenger's air
bag. Such objects
become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.

liquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not place it near
the instrument cluster nor on
the instrument panel surface.
It may become a dangerous
projectile and cause injury if the
passenger's air bag inflates.

WARNING
• If an air bag deploys, there may
be a loud noise followed by a
fine dust released in the vehi-
cle. These conditions are nor-
mal and are not hazardous - the
air bags are packed in this fine
powder. The dust generated
during air bag deployment may
may cause skin or eye irritation as
well as aggravate asthma for
some persons. Always wash all
exposed skin areas thoroughly
with cold water and mild soap
after an accident in which the
air bags were deployed.
(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 position, or
after the engine is started,
comes on whilst driving, the
SRS is not working properly. If
this occurs, we recommend
that the system be inspected
by an authorised 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.
