WARNING
僅 Modification to SRS components or
wiring, including the addition of any
kind of badges to the pad covers or
modifications to the body structure,
can adversely affect SRS performance
and lead to possible injury.
僅 For cleaning the air bag pad covers,
use only a soft, dry cloth or one which
has been moistened with plain water.
Solvents or cleaners could adversely
affect the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
僅 No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above the
glove box, because any such object
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the air
bags to inflate.
僅 If the air bags inflate, have the system
replaced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
僅 Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS
wiring, or other components of the
SRS system. Doing so could result in
injury, due to accidental inflation of
the air bags or by rendering the SRS
inoperative.
僅 If components of the air bag system
must be discarded, or if the vehicle
must be scrapped, certain safety pre-
cautions must be observed. An autho-
rised Kia dealer knows these
precautions and can give you the nec-
essary information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures
could increase the risk of personal
injury.
Air bag - supplemental restraint system
僅 If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on flooring,
you shouldn't try to start the engine;
in this case, have your vehicle
inspected by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to contact an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner.
Additional safety precautions
僅 Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded-
down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor.
僅 Passengers should not move out of
or change seats whilst the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not
wearing a seat belt during a crash or
emergency stop can be thrown
against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of the

vehicle.

僅 Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant. If more than
one person uses the same seat belt,
they could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision.
僅 Do not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the
seat belt can reduce the protection
provided by the seat belt and increase
the chance of serious injury in a crash.
僅 Passengers should not place hard
or sharp objects between them-
selves and the air bags. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap or in
your mouth can result in injuries if an
air bag inflates.
僅 Keep occupants away from the air
bag covers. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
