The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components whilst the ignition
switch or the ENGINE START/STOP
button is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require
air bag deployment or pre-tensioner
seat belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition
switch or the ENGINE START/STOP
button is turned to the ON position,
after which the SRS air bag warning
light should go out.

occurs, this indicates a malfunction
of the SRS. In this case, have the
system inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.

The front air bag modules are

SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe
impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front
air bags.

molded directly into the pad covers
will separate under pressure from
the expansion of the air bags. Fur -
ther opening of the covers then
allows full inflation of the air bags.
