僅 Driver's And Passenger's Front Air Bag - Kia SORENTO HEV 2023 Manual

Safety features of your vehicle
soap after an accident in which the air
bags were deployed.
僅 The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the ON position. If the
SRS air bag warning light does not
appear, 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. In this
case, have the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
僅 Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion switch or ENGINE START/STOP
button to the LOCK position and
remove the ignition key or turn off the
ENGINE START/STOP button. Never
remove or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button is in the
ON position. Failure to heed this warn-
ing will cause the SRS air bag warning
light to appear.

Your vehicle is equipped with a Supple-
mental Restraint (Air Bag) System and
lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and
passenger seating positions.
The indications of the system's presence
are the letters "AIR BAG" intagliated on
the air bag pad cover in the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the centre of the
steering wheel and the passenger's side
front panel above the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity.
WARNING
The driver's hands should be placed on
the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger's arms and
hands should be placed on their laps.
