Passenger's front air bag
ODEEV058051NR
WARNING
Air bag obstructions
Do not install or place any accessories
on the steering wheel, instrument 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.
僅 If an air bag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These condi-
tions are normal and are not hazard-
ous - 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 aggra-
vate asthma for some persons.
Always wash all exposed skin areas
Air bag - Advanced Supplemental Restraint System
thoroughly with cold water and a mild
soap after an accident in which the air
bags were deployed.
僅 The SRS can function only when the
ignition switch or ENGINE START/
STOP button is in the ON Position or
approximately within 3 minutes after
ignition off. The SRS is not working
properly if any of the following situa-
tions occur :
- the SRS airbag warning light does
not appear
- the SRS airbag warning light
remains on continuously after illu-
minating for about 3 ~ 6 seconds
when the ignition switch or 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 imme-
diately inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
NOTICE
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect
a battery terminal, turn the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/STOP button
to the OFF position. Never remove or
replace the air bag related fuse(s) when
the ignition switch or ENGINE START/
STOP button is ON position. Failure to
heed this warning will cause the SRS air
bag warning light to appear.
